Spring 2012 Trends

I look forward to attending the bridal market each season.  Not only it is fun to see what each designer is offering, I am always fascinated by the fashion trends.   I don't believe that we should be a slave to trends but they seem to indicate what is in demand by brides.  Good or bad, trends develop around celebrities and highly publicized weddings.  No doubt that the royal wedding is having an impact on brides desires for their big day. 

Straps and Sleeves

There is a an increase in gowns offered with straps and sleeves: this trend has caught on and is being offered by most designers. Most gowns with sleeves and straps are made of lace. This soft romantic style continues to grow in popularity. 

Lingerie Look
I wasn't sure how well this style would catch on when I saw it on the runway about a year ago, but I can say that its more popular than ever.  The lingerie look, with it's defined boning and see through panel  from the bust to waist is flirtatious.

Color

Each season designers include a touch of color to a limit number of gowns.  Tones that have been popular include ivory lace over champagne or gold.  Pale pink gowns also popped up on the runway with Pronovias producing a few gowns with this color option.  WTOO by Watters Bridal has a soft oatmeal hue and a new gray.

Bling

It seemed for the last few years, brides were interested in understated style.  Although there are plenty of simple gowns to chose from, there was more bling than I have seen in the last few seasons.  Brides who want to sparkle on their wedding day will have plenty to choose from.

Texture

Texture made its way on to the runway last season, but every designer has added additional gowns with flange, ruffles, petals and flowers. 

There is much for brides to look forward to in the coming year.

Best wishes,

Jenny and staff

Pronovias 2012

Wow, it is hard to express my excitement regarding the Pronovias' upcoming collection.  It was such an honor to attend the 2012 fashion show and gala held in Barcelona, Spain.  This experience was one that I will never forget!  Barcelona is an amazing city full of unbelievable historical sites to include absolutely breathtaking cathedrals.

The Pronovias designers did not disappoint and there are several trends that our brides are sure to love. Feathers were not only used during the finale at the fashion show, but were used creatively on gowns.

Texture continues to play a major role with ruffles and the unique use of fabric on many designs.

Chiffon fabric is light and ethereal.  Pronovias designers were able to use these characteristics to design gorgeous styles.

Know for their beautiful use of Lace, Pronovias continues to be the leader in producing the top of the line lace designs.  Its not surprising to find that Pronovias  already designed gowns with cap and three quarter length sleeves (prior to the Kate Middleton design). They simply know style.

I have given you a small, but tantalizing, look at the 2012 Pronovias collection.  The boutique will begin receiving a smaller collection of the 2012 gowns in about a month, with the majority of the collection arriving in the fall.

Peacock

Weddings that are coordinated around the peacock color spectrum have a vibrant palette full of deep and rich color.  There are shades of blue: royal, lapis and midnight. Shades also include turquoise, teal, apple and emerald from the greens hues with  the golds and bronzes rounding out the color pallet.

Luckily, brides now have many coordinating decorations, flowers, feathers, invitations and bridal party attire to choose.

I love these invitations from Monumental Designs and garter from The Garter Girl.

The peacock/teal hue is now gaining popularity among bridesmaid line and the color has been added by several lines.  The WTOO #965 in Mediterranean and Bill Levkoff #591 in indigo.



The peacock theme can be carried through with a themed cake and decorations.

Rich colored floral arrangements and bouquets offer the final touch to these wonderfully rich and warm wedding hues.



If you are a sassy bride, embrace the deep peacock hues for a richly colored wedding.

As always,
