* Gold accessories are going to be more popular, especially for a fall or winter wedding. Things like gold hair brooches, gold shoes, gold jewelry, and even golden hued wedding gowns. The key to choosing gold accessories with a timeless look, is to choose only one or two that you love. This will keep your look from being too over-the-top.

* Big layered sheer skirts with lots of interesting details in materials such as chiffon, organza, lace, batiste, crepe, and tulle. Instead of the dress designs you've seen in the past using just one material, dress designers are now incorporating many different materials into one dress, making each one unique.

* I just love the new corset style bodices with lacing down the back. This is a very sexy yet sophisticated style that goes well with a large ball gown skirt. You'll see a lot of these with intricate detailing using things like beadwork and lace.

* Vintage inspired wedding gowns with a modern touch. Just choose your favorite era, whether it's the roaring 1920's or a dress inspired from the 1950's, perhaps the dress Marilyn Monroe made famous. I've found a vintage inspired wedding to be a lot of fun! This is your one special day, why not make it your own?

* Detachable bridal belts can add a unique look to any wedding gown, making it easy to customize the wedding dress you've chosen. Instead of just the colored sash that we've seen on the runways in the past, you now have options in belts that look more like jewelry. They're stunning!

* Loose and simple hairstyles. Instead of the up-do that looks like it took many grueling hours, styling tools and hairspray to accomplish, think of a more natural look, with loose waves pinned back low on the head or even off to the side.

* Large hair accessories, such as a gardenia, sparkling brooch with feathers, or a birdcage veil are becoming more popular, but keep your other accessories to a minimum, and let the hair accessory that you have chosen be the focal point.

* When you think of a pony tail you might think of a more casual affair, but not if you do it right! Low side pony tails look stunning with a one-shoulder wedding dress. This look works best for brides with long hair. Part your hair off to one side and put lots of loose curls in the pony tail. Choose an accessory to go around the band for that finishing touch.

Just remember, the only opinion that matters is your own. Try to keep your stress levels low and just go with your instincts. Choose the things that you love, and you shouldn't go wrong.

Big skirts are definitely in for 2012! Many of the most striking wedding gowns which were shown at New York bridal market featured skirts which were not only voluminous, but which also had very heavy embellishments. Oversized three-dimensional flowers are one of the most impressive accents in the new 2012 wedding dress collections. While the concept has been shown in previous years in a few haute couture lines, for 2012 the detail will be much more widely available in wedding gowns across all price points. A gown with huge flowers on the skirt would be stunning for a spring or summer bride.

Another take on the oversized embellishment trend for 2012 wedding gowns is large concentric circles of pleated organza. Brides who know their wedding history will be reminded of the famous bridal gown worn by legendary bride Jacqueline Bouvier when she wed John F. Kennedy. The design is updated with light organza which helps keep the gown from being too heavy. The three-dimensional design on the skirt of these bridal gowns is usually balanced with a more simple strapless bodice with shirring. The shirring is just enough interest to hold up to the eye-catching design of the skirt without competing. A strapless neckline looks best when it is enhanced with dramatic handmade wedding jewelry.

Tiered skirts with plenty of volume will also be a key trend for 2012 brides. The tiers are often done over very full skirts, and can be used with either a natural waistline or a mermaid cut gown. Further accents in the form of appliques and beading on the tiers are also part of the look. Truly, there is no such thing as too busy for the upcoming season of wedding dresses. Crystal beading is particularly favored with the tiered skirt gowns, and will lend itself to being paired with handmade crystal bridal jewelry for the wedding day.

For brides who want an embellished skirt which is a bit less exuberant, there will also be gowns for 2012 which are accented with delicate flower petals. The petals are usually created from lightweight organza, and flutter gracefully all over the skirt of the wedding gown. This is a delightful effect for a garden wedding. The slightly more subdued effect of the three-dimensional petals will be sweet for a petite bride who might find herself overwhelmed by one of the oversized flower appliqued skirts. After all, it is always more important to find a wedding gown which suits the individual bride than it is to adhere slavishly to trends.
