New Trends for Spring and Summer 2013!

Hey brides!

A few weeks ago I attended the NYC Bridal Market where I saw some amazing new trends for this year's wedding season. Something that I saw everywhere was back coverage!! This look is so elegant and can be modest but sexy at the same time. Another great idea- have your seamstress make removable straps or a removable piece for your arms. That way, you can be covered and conservative during your ceremony, and change to a more fun look for your reception!
I think this trend is going to be huge in the fall and winter too. In the colder months, you need a dress with a bit more coverage, but you still want to be in a gorgeous gown! I am loving this new trend! At the bridal boutique I work at- Michele Bridal in Westbrook, CT- we just ordered some new dresses for fall and so many of them had gorgeous detail on the back.

Here are some gorgeous back coverage looks:

Would love to hear what YOU think! Would you wear a dress like this? Are you loving this new trend?

Your Gown-Ready Body

I HATE my __________________. As a bridal consultant, I hear it all. Every girl hates something about her body. Now, you can choose to cover it up, but why let a few flaws dictate what style dress you wear on your big day? Want a strapless dress but hate your arms? Get the arms you want AND the dress you want!
