Every woman wants to look her best on her wedding day. Girls plan for their wedding day from a very small age and have very specific likes and dislikes. Selecting a perfect wedding dress is a challenging and time-consuming job and you have to know which styles are trendy and stylish that particular season. Knowing which designs and styles of wedding dress are currently on trend, will help you in choosing you dream wedding dress. While choosing a wedding dress, make sure that the style you choose complements your body structure too.

With the royal wedding creating a furore last year, designs inspired by the royal dress are very hot and trendy. Kate Middleton's beautiful wedding dress, with full lace sleeves and fitted ivory satin bodice is something that women of most body shapes can carry off. It makes a nice refreshing change from the sea of strapless wedding dresses that are the norm.

Some classic wedding dress styles are always popular. But each season, the silhouettes and designs are tweaked a bit and presented with a twist to make it more trendy and fashionable. Fabrics like Chantilly lace, satin Gazar, duchess satin, organza and tulle are some of the most popular fabric choices for wedding gowns this season. Whether you like understated and refined glamor or want something dramatic, there is a wedding gown out for you. Take a look at some of the most popular and trendy wedding dress styles for this year.

Grecian Wedding Dress
For a modern bride, a Grecian wedding dress style is just perfect. It is a classic piece that is contemporary and elegant and has clean crisp lines. This season, Grecian inspired wedding dress is making waves and has emerged as one of the most popular wedding styles. Choose one with a lot of draping and pleats at the bust, with an empire waistline. Classic Grecian wedding dresses in a floaty material like chiffon and organza are very hot this moment. This type of style is ideal for women who are slim built with a not so generous bustline. Embellishments in the form of pearls and stones at the shoulders and the sash of the gown are perfect to give it the right amount of oomph.

Strapless Wedding Dress

The beauty of a strapless wedding dress is that it never fails to impress. Strapless wedding gowns are one of the most popular wedding dress styles of 2012. A strapless wedding gown with a tight bodice, clinched waist and '50s' inspired flaring and flouncy skirt is dramatic and show stopping. The best thing about strapless gowns is that they are very flattering to the body. Choose a strapless gown with lace and pearl details at the bodice with a softly draped skirt. Clusters of flowers made of lace and chiffon that are attached to the hem and neckline make a strapless wedding dress look more attractive and alluring.
