Pearls, petals and pleating at New York Bridal Week 2012

13 APRIL 2011

With William and Kate's April 29 nuptials fast approaching, bridal fever is sweeping the world.

And what better way to get into the spirit than a look at some of the top designers' collections at New York Bridal Week 2012.

Oscar de la Renta, Vera Wang and Marchesa amongst others showcased their spring 2012 collections in a white whirlwind of taffeta, tulle and trumpet silhouettes.

Oscar de la Renta stole the show when he sent a whopping 37 looks down his runway.

Decorated with rose petals and ruched-bodice detailing, the cascading tulle of the gowns skimmed the floor gracefully.

Meanwhile, Marchesa offered a breathtaking vision in all-white.

Trumpet silhouettes were adorned with delicate detailing in the form of pearls, crystals and diamante.

And Vera Wang's colour-injected collection steered clear of understated, with playful pleats, oversized tulle bows and leaf detailing creating a modern, edgy bridal look.
