What's new with dresses?

Dress Trends for Spring 2013

 Ok ladies, what's new for this wedding season? Well, a few things.
First of all, sleeves! Very Kate Middleton, very elegant. Great for the girl who wants a little more coverage. I love the designer La Sposa's sleeved dresses; we sell these at the bridal shop where I work. 


And for the daring bride: COLOR!
This is such a great idea - add a sash to add some color! It could match your bridesmaids, match your flowers, it's totally up to you! 
You can also add some detail to the sash. You could pin on a broach, a silk flower, have a simple bow.Play around and see what works best for you! Belts and sashes can totally transform a dress, but you have to be willing to experiment and try different things!

 Ok, so we've seen color in a sash. How about a colored dress?
Blush is very very in right now, and I LOVE it.

Here are a couple of Monique Lhuillier examples. Lazaro also makes some gorgeous blush dresses.

Color Story

Brides : What is your color story? Your color story is your color theme for your wedding. What colors are you choosing? Colors that are big right now are blush and Tiffany blue. Everyone seems to want a Tiffany wedding! Is this idea a bit overdone? What do you think? The other color that is SO in is blush.

Here's something to watch out for thought: blush can be a VERY hard color to wear. Keep this in mind if you are putting all of your bridesmaids in blush. If they have light skin and light hair, it may not look so great.  When you are looking at bridesmaids' dresses, bring as many girls as you can. I know it is hard to get everyone together so round up anyone you can so you can see what styles and colors look good on everyone! Can't agree on a style? Put everyone in the same color, ...

Making a Statement

Love it or Hate it : Patterned Bridesmaid's Dresses This is something you don't see very often : bridesmaid dresses that aren't just one plain color. How do you feel about this look? I think that with the right venue and accessories, this can be an adorable, unique element to a wedding! Also, patterned dresses may be less expensive than your typical bridesmaid dress at a wedding shop.  I also think that patterned dresses are more of something your maids will wear again! Especially if you choose a cute pattern that will flatter all of your girls! Also, with a patterned dress, you may be able to get away with more simple bridesmaid bouquets. Make sure you don't have too much going on with the dresses and the flowers! So, what do you think? Patterned Bridesmaid Dresses: Yay or Nay??
