There are some beautiful new trends in wedding gown decorations for 2011. Designers have taken some old favorite accents (think pearls) and interpreted them in new ways, and they have also found fresh new ways to use out-of-style accents (sequins! ). These are some of the top embellishments that you will see on the latest crop of 2011 wedding gowns.

Pearls are always popular for weddings, and they will be very much in vogue for 2011. The newest way to use pearls is as an all over embellishment, rather than as a delicate beading on lace. One fabulous style is a sheath wedding gown encrusted with pearls from top to bottom. The weight of the pearls gives a gorgeous weight and movement to the flowing sheath. Also look for pearls on illusion necklines and used to create wide jeweled belts on waistlines. The natural accessory to the pearl studded wedding dresses is pearl bridal jewelry. Striking bridal jewelry such as pearl chandelier earrings and wide bracelets are an ideal complement to the fresh new take on pearl embellishments.

The pearl embellishments will be featured on wedding gowns across the spectrum in 2011. They are just as fun on a short and sassy bridal mini-dresses as they are on more classic styles. In fact, the combination of demure pearls with an edgy mini can be the perfect balance for a bride who wants to make a bold statement without being too daring. It would make a stunning reception dress. Pearls are certainly also popular for 2011 on dresses with more traditional lines. Whatever your taste, you will be able to find a pearl accented gown to suit your needs.

Sequins have long had a bad reputation as being flashy, cheap, and just plain tacky. Many of the top end bridal gown designers are taking a new look at sequins for their 2011 wedding dress collections, with surprisingly chic results. The trick is that rather than use iridescent sequins, designers have discovered the more understated shimmer of ivory or pastel sequins. The new style sequins are especially lovely when paired with sheer fabric like organza. You will find them decorating illusion necklines and tucked in amongst ruffles on skirts. The look can actually be a lot lighter than heavy silver beading, yet still has plenty of shimmer. Accessorize with clear crystal bridal jewelry for the perfect accent.

Something else that sounds potentially awful, but is actually quite pretty is shimmer tulle. It may bring to mind cheap veils, but the new shimmer tulles which are being used for 2011 wedding gowns are in fact elegant and understated. In the high end bridal collections, the shimmer is woven right into the tulle, and it can add just the right amount of sheen to a fantasy bridal gown. If shimmer tulle is not your thing, you might adore another popular bridal fabric accent this season: dots. What could be more charming than a dotted Swiss tulle gown for a summer wedding? White on white polka dots are also making an appearance. It is a really fun way to add interest to the fabric of a wedding gown in a low-key fashion.

There are some other wedding gown embellishments which rule the runways at recent bridal collections. Another stand out for 2011 wedding gowns is all-over three-dimensional floral appliques. Whether done on a petite scale over the entire gown or extra large on just the skirt, floral accents are absolutely in this year. With so many romantic styles from which to choose, it will definitely be fun to go shopping for a bridal gown in 2011.
