One of the big trends for 2012 and 2013 wedding dresses is the backless wedding dress. We are seeing this trend on all the catwalks and here at The Wedding Community we love them; a backless wedding dress is so pretty and feminine. We have chosen a few examples to show what is available, from deep plunging v-backs to delicate lace keyhole backs. Here are some of our favourites.

The National Wedding Show Catwalk Spring 2012

The spring National Wedding Shows have recently taken place in London and Birmingham. At each of the wedding shows, a selection of top designers showcased their latest bridal wear designs for Spring/Summer 2012.

The Wedding Community’s very own bridal hair expert Severin Hubert from The Hepburn Collection created the magnificent hair styles for the catwalk models at each of the shows.

Here is a gallery of the bridal wear that graced the catwalk at the shows, including wedding dresses, groomswear, bridesmaid and flower girl dresses, pageboy and mother of the bride outfits.

We have a fabulous bridal shoot to share with you today, showcasing the new Simply Minx bridal collection from White Minx Bridal Boutique. The shoot, photographed by Jay Watson of All Seeing Eye,  took place at Burton Court in Herefordshire, a historic house that is a truly unique location for a wedding. The bridal make-up look for the stunning models Charlie, Orchid and Leanne was created by Doreen of Le Glow, with beautiful hair designs by Angie of Bridal Beauty at Le Glow. Male model George’s attire was provided by Bill Child Formal Wear, and flowers from The Hibiscus Room provided the finishing touches.

The essence of the Simply Minx collection is beautifully constructed lightweight dresses, perfect for a summer wedding. Prices range from £500 to £1000.
