Over the past few weeks, we’ve asked you to vote for your favorite new trends from the most recent Bridal Market. And hundreds of you made your opinions known – so thank you! Now, we want to take things a step further, and ask you to choose the ultimate wedding dress trend of 2012! We’ve compiled the winners of each poll, and want you to vote for your favorite trend of them all, the style you would actually wear to your own wedding. Here’s the first crop of semifinalists:

We saw all types of gown silhouettes during bridal market, but most prominent, perhaps, were super-fitted trumpet and mermaid wedding dresses. Whether they were covered in sparkle or completely unadorned, they gave off a real Hollywood glamour girl vibe and truly show off a bride’s curves.

A few things I loved at the Alfred Angelo Fall/Winter 2012 show:

Bright Bridesmaid Dresses: We’ve been seeing a lot of muted and neutral hues for bridesmaids over the past few seasons, so it was refreshing to see jolts of tropical blue, bright pink, and even vibrant orange used for ‘maids. Perfect for those summer beach weddings.

Touches of Black: Alfred Angelo designer Michael Shettel wasn’t shy about using black in his new collection – adding an edgy touch to several dresses. We particularly liked the sheer three-quarter sleeve jacket on this gown. So unique and a great opportunity for a bride to switch up her look.

Sequins! We’ve seen ‘em on bridal gowns, and now they’ve entered the world of bridesmaids! How the LBD shown above, right for a New Year’s Eve wedding bridesmaid dress? It’s sexy and sparkly, but still understated and chic.
