Fall 2012 Bridal Fashion Trends: The Royal Wedding

New York Bridal Week just ended and everyone is buzzing about  the Fall 2012 collections.  I wanted to give my readers a look at some of these gorgeous gowns and also talk about some of the hottest trends in bridal fashion.  I'll be breaking it down trend by trend so keep checking back!

The Royal Wedding. It was clear that the royal wedding served as inspiration for almost every collection.  Whether it was lace sleeves inspired by Kate's dress or fitted sheaths and cowl-necks inspired by Pippa's- the Middleton sisters made their mark on bridal fashion.
