Veiled!

Today, I want to talk about veils... I am sure to every bride, putting your veil on is one of the defining moments on your big day. As little girls, I am sure all of us dreamt of wearing a long cathedral veil with sparkles (of course) cascading over the shoulders leaving a beautiful trail of glitter and sparkles behind! 

I would like to  indulge my romantic side and show you gorgeous veils and how it revolutionised to become more than just an accessory.   

The Statement Veil
We have noticed that layers of net and tulle have been making an appearance of late on the catwalks of Armani Couture and Alexander McQueen amongst others, so if you’re a fashion-conscious gal then you can rest assured that you’re being on trend.

The Birdcage
The birdcage style is a fantastic compromise for the bride that wants to wear a veil but doesn’t want to be subjected to the treacherous consequences of wearing a longer length.

Spanish Princess
Spanish veil is all about making a hopelessly romantic statement which just screams luxe at the same time.

Long & Luscious

There’s something utterly whimsical about a bride enveloped in a cascade of tulle or seeing it stretched out behind her. 

Feathers & Fun!

We’ve got a feeling that feathers are going to be big for 2013! Feathers add that touch of class, elegance and is completely feminine! We are completely falling in love with this trend! We have put together some feather inspiration for you...

Spring 2013 Wedding Dress Trends

Five trends—color, portrait backs, peplums, lace, and convertible gowns—dominated the Spring 2013 Bridal runways. 

More painterly than ever, many designers splashed their dresses this season with bold strokes of color, including smoldering reds, heavenly blues, and—of course—requisite bridal blushes. 

Last season's sexy backs returned for Spring 2013 with a more demure, romantic attention to delicate embroideries, lace frames, and peekaboo keyholes.

 

Borrowing a popular silhouette from the couture runways, waist-defining peplums injected wedding gowns with a dose of haute style using both structured and softly draped shapes. It's a high-fashion look that's sexy and graphic.

Duchess Kate's royal wedding gown proved its influence after almost every collection this season showed some variation on lace unlike anything your grandmother would have worn. This graphic, floral fabric felt fresher than ever, re-worked into sexy silhouettes with a dash of tradition. 

With more brides than ever calling for second party dresses, designers answered that demand with convertible styles that use removable skirts, trains, and capes to create a distinct reception look.
