Yesterday, we asked you to vote in the first round of our Wedding Dress Trend Semifinals. Now it’s time for Part 2, featuring the winners of the lace, short wedding dress, and mermaid polls going head-to-head.

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.

So far, we’ve found out which wedding dress color you love (pink!), the best back (illusion, by a hair), the sleeves you’re swooning over (cap), and the modern lace treatment you like (bold). And today, we’re talking about one of the biggest trends that hit market this year: peplums!

A peplum is a ruffled overskirt that provides a unique silhouette to a gown – and they were in abundance this season. We saw them in all shapes, sizes, and fabrications, so we wanted to know if you’re a fan of the whole trend and if so, if you prefer your peplum to be big, small, or something in between.

Yesterday, we asked you to pick your favorite sleeve style. Seems like most of you prefer just a hint of coverage, in the form of cap sleeves.

This morning, we’re talking lace – the most feminine and romantic of fabrications. At bridal market this season, we saw designers use lace in entirely new and unique ways. So now we’re wondering which of these new lace styles are you most psyched about?
