Fun, right? We think so!<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s just go ahead and kick things off with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kennethpool.com\/\">Kenneth Pool<\/a> \u2014a favorite of Houston brides, who will find plenty to go ga-ga over in the sumptuous spring and fall 2012 bridal collections. Designed by the exceptionally talented Amsale Aberra (also the artiste behind the Christos and Amsale bridal lines), Kenneth Pool spring 2012 (below) will not disappoint brides who crave the intricate crystal beading that gives the designer\u2019s wedding gowns their signature sparkle. Among our favorites is the alluring \u201cAlana\u201d silk taffeta ballgown, with its heavily beaded bodice and absolutely gorgeous draped skirt. Some stunning fit-and-flare and trumpet styles, too, featuring dramatically bustled trains, and, again, that spectacular (but never over-the-top) beading on bodices, belts and train appliqu\u00e9s.<\/p>\n<p>For fall 2012 (above), which just walked the runway at October\u2019s New York International Bridal Market, Kenneth Pool turned up the volume\u2014as in voluminous skirts and bustles, full of tiers, layers and big fluffy ruffles, many with a modern asymmetrical slant. It\u2019s an exciting new angle for Kenneth Pool wedding dresses, and we LOVE it.<\/p>\n<p>See these gowns for YOURSELF this Friday and Saturday, when Houston\u2019s very own Mia Bridal Couture hosts a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/events.aspx?id=832\">Kenneth Pool Fall 2012 trunk show<\/a>. A Kenneth Pool style expert will be on hand, and brides who purchase during the show will receive a 10% discount (no small savings, with Kenneth Pool\u2019s couture gowns in the $4,000-$10,000 range, and beyond). Appointments are required; call 713.622.2022 to make yours!<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3796\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Kenneth_Pool_Spring.jpg\" alt=\"Kenneth Pool Fall 2012 Collection ~ Houston Wedding Blog\" width=\"660\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Kenneth_Pool_Spring.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.weddingsinhouston.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Kenneth_Pool_Spring-275x300.jpg 275w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><br \/>\nPhotos: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kennethpool.com\/\">Kenneth Pool<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As 2012 bridal collections hit local salons, we\u2019ll be offering you glimpses at some of our favorites.
