Bring me some Bling
Photo by Elizabeth Messina for Twigs and Honey
By Karen BirneyIt's no secret that we love our bling here in WeddingsOnline HQ, and sure what would a wedding be without a bit of it? There are plenty of ways to add some sparkle to your wedding wear, whether it comes from rhinestones or diamontes, sequins or Swarovski. And it doesn't just have to be on your bodice. Headpieces, cuffs, shoes, bouquets and even your candles could don some extra bling, just have a look at a few of our selections below! And stay tuned this week because we have a blingtastic DIY project coming up!

WOL Picks: Wedding Dresses 2012
The newest wedding dress styles and details for 2012 includes pastels, a combination of lengths, fantasy necklines and more fabric! These designs appeared on dozens of runways, marking their official debut on the wedding scene.
Short: We love these shorter dresses by Tobi Hannah. Last season, three-dimensional skirts were in, this season, designers are focusing on shorter hemlines, creating skirts with tiers that flatter all shapes!
Length combinations: Dresses that are short at the front and long at the back are very popular for 2012 and give you the best of both worlds! Carol Hannah’s dress is also layered with a sweet-heart neckline, adding to the overall drama and romance of the gown.
The one-shouldered dress, as seen here with Matthew Williamson, is flattering on most body types and a great way to show off your shoulders with a bit more coverage than a strapless style. Feminine, romantic and sexy!
Mesh is most often used in underskirts to create volume and shape, however designers, like Tara Keely for Pronovias, are now exposing this fabric to create another dimension to the wedding gown. This style also looks really unique, frothy and feminine!
Pronovias is available at Jeutonic Bridal Shop.
Pastels: For BHLDN’s Spring/ Summer 2012 collection, off-shades of white and pastels featured heavily. These subtle shades of colour, like the silver seen here, can be really chic and offer something different to the brides who want to shun all things traditional, conservative and white!
Fantasy necklines are big this season as seen here with Reem Acra’s 2012 Collection. A sheer layer of fabric covers the skin, so you get a strapless look with some added coverage - two looks for the price of one! This style is soft, elegant and perfect for brides who don’t want to feel over-exposed or too-covered-up.

Wedding Trend Alert: Statement Earrings
The goddess that is Sofia Vergara only needs to flutter her luscious lashes to turn heads, but at the Emmys this week it was her ears that did the eye-catching. Many brides like to opt for an upstyle for a classic and neat look on their wedding day, but if they’re anything like me they may feel a little exposed having all their hair off their face. Big earrings are a great way to make you feel feminine and elegant and provide a little security blanket if you’re used to having hair to play with!
Blue statement earrings are a different way of adding your ‘something blue’ to your wedding day, and will look AMAZING if you have blue eyes. Brown eyes look great with emerald green earrings. Compiled by Karen Birney

What is your Bridal Shoe Style?
After the dress, your shoes are the next big fashion statement you can make on your wedding day. Question is: Are you a classic, understated and clean cut bride, or a bright and bold bride? Nude shoes were huge in 2011 and will continue to be big in 2012. The reason? Nude heels elongate your legs, look super sophisticated and can be worn with every colour and outfit after the wedding! Whatever you choose, wear shoes that will make you feel special, and, preferably, ones that you won't fall over in on the way up the aisle (cough!).

It's what's on the inside...
On your wedding day, you want to look and feel as beautiful on the inside as you do on the outside.
You could choose lingerie that provides some additional support, slimming and tucking or you could match your bridal underwear with your wedding dress.
Whatever style you choose, the most important thing is that it suits and flatters you and your dress. Be inspired by some of these fabulous bridal underwear finds.

Will you wear a Garter?
By Karen Birney
Garters have garnered themselves a bit of a rep, dividing brides-to-be who either think 'the garter thing' is a bit of a laugh on one hand, or tac-tacular on the other. Thing is, garters can be a lot sexier than an Oops TV wedding special would have you believe. Take a look at some of these beautiful pieces that will make you think twice about a tradition you thought was gone with the wind. (Just make sure he isn't planning on 'tossing' one of these, or he'll regret it!)
Us girls know well what's going to be going on under our dresses on our wedding day. And it ain't pretty. Piping, wires, sticky tape, cement, safety pins, hold-ins, push-ups....velcro (ew)... Fact is, wedding undies aren't the most attractive in the world but if you just want to add something a little secretive and special to your undergarments, these garters will make you feel feminine and sexy.
