Vera Wang Spring 2012 Collection Released!

Yeah, I know it's hardly even spring 2011 yet but big designers work almost a year ahead and Vera Wang has just released the first photos of her 2012 bridal collection!

In classic Vera fashion it's over the top romantic with lots of floofy-ness and she continues to introduce hints of color to the bridal scene.  The collection is full of texture with lots of elaborate draping, over-sized bows (used vertically much of the time!), and layer upon layer of sheer ruffles and tulle.  The ball gown silhouette is used much more than her last couple collections but she still has a couple trumpet gowns as well as an A-line or two.  One of the stand-out gowns is a pistachio green number with some sumptuous draping on the back!   Another creative technique was layering tulle over lace, softening the appearance as though you're seeing the gown through a foggy glass window.  The effect is absolutely dreamy!   Below is a sampling of the collection!

I'm loving the mauve sash and the fan-like detail at the bust!
