2. Lace!  Kate Middleton’s wedding gown has certainly influenced the 2012 collections with a beautiful selection of all lace wedding gowns in all silhouettes. Some styles shown were full lace, and ¾ or cap lace sleeves on a variety of styles from most all designers.

6. The trend to watch for.....Hi-low skirts!  (hem-lines hitting just below the knee in front, transitioning to the traditional longer skirt and train in back)  Not yet an official “trend” for 2012 bridal styles, but definitely introduced and a trend to watch.  Finally you'll be able to show off those stunning shoes!
