It's All in the Details: Wedding Dress Trends to Watch Out For

Fresh, new and exciting - these are a few words which can best describe the latest bridal gown trends for 2012. Now that the current year is almost over, bride-to-bes who are looking forward to walking down the aisle next year do have a lot of choices when it comes to bridal hairstyles, as well as the trends in wedding gowns which we will learn more about here.

Bridal Gowns with Slits

No matter what your body type is as a bride, you are bound to find "the" perfect wedding dress once you are planning your wedding. Women who have already said their "I dos" have sworn that using plain intuition, you would know exactly when you have found the perfect bridal gown that you can wear on your big day.

Now, if you are the type of bride who's big on following fashion trends, what are the hottest bridal gown designs for 2012 that you can go for? You don't necessarily need to have Vera Wang or another famous designer create a gown for you especially if you don't have the budget for it. However, you can borrow inspiration from these designers to come up with a trendy gown of your own.

Let's start by counting down the details of the bridal gowns which will hit the runway in 2012. A fantastically fresh detail which designers have incorporated in their creations is the bridal gown with slit. If you would like to feel sexy, daring, fashion forward and oh-so-hot on your wedding day, choose a bridal dress with a front slit. Some of the designers who already incorporated front slits in the wedding gown that they created are Angel Sanchez, Hayley Paige and Ines di Santo.

Low-Cut Backs for the Daring Bride

For the daring, sexy bride, choose a wedding gown which has a low-cut back. Designer Marchesa has been at the forefront of introducing gowns with a very modest front, but a low-cut back for a dramatic effect once the bride turns around. One of the most exquisite designs from Marches is her fluid crepe column dress which has a draped cowl that reaches just above the bride's tailbone. Dare to wear this gown if you know that you can pull it off, and take the breath of your groom away at how hot you look!

Sweetheart Necklines for the Romantics-at-Heart

Finally, you can go for another sweet but still-hot trend of wearing wedding gowns with sweetheart necklines. Aside from the daring details incorporated by designers in their creations, the use of a variety of materials and fabrics is another hot bridal trend for 2012. To make your gown stand out, you can choose one with a sweetheart neckline, but has a bodice that's covered on top with a sheer fabric. This allows you to show off a bit of skin without revealing too much, so you will still end up looking elegant and sexy.

To finish off the look, choose an appropriate bridal hairstyle and pair it with colorful, glittery accessories. The bridal hairstyle trend for 2012 is something that's loose and flowing instead of the usual updos that take hours for a stylist to create. Take your pick from any of these hot, hot wedding gown trends and be the ultimate fashion forward bride for 2012!

Aside from choosing the bridesmaids hairstyles and wedding hairstyles, another major aspect of the wedding plans that you need to decide on is the dress that you'll wear. Some of the hottest trends for 2012 bridal gowns include detailing such as front slits, sweetheart necklines and low-cut backs. Take your pick from any of these trends and look fab as you walk down the aisle.
