Beautiful Backs for Every Bride

When you choose the perfect wedding dress, you know that you need to see how it looks from every angle. One thing that many designers are adding is extra detail on the back. This makes the dress even more beautiful and interesting as you come and go.

This trend is set to be a big one for 2015, with many designers giving the backs of their dresses more than just a closure. For many dresses, the illusion back is a way of giving a bride a dramatic look without leaving her feeling exposed. The lace back offers coverage with detail and a hint of skin. This Justin Alexander dress combines an illusion back with a long line of buttons running down the spine for an elegant finish.

For a more open back, consider a design like this one from Kitty Chen's Ivoire Paris line. With a delicate lace band across the back, you get a wonderful accent that adds more interest than a backless gown. The floral motif of the dress is perfect for a bride looking for a romantic style.

You can also get the chance to preview Kitty Chen's new line, and meet the designer, at our June trunk show. Call today to book your place at this fantastic event or to find out more about finding the perfect gown for your wedding day!

2015 Bridal Trend: Pearl Accents

One of the fabulous trends from New York Bridal Week that we loved was seeing designers using pearl accents. This ranged from embroidering pearls into the designs of gowns to including them as accessory pieces. It’s a very versatile trend, making it a perfect addition to any bride’s wedding day style.

Beaded bodices

The stand-out pearl style on the catwalk was beaded bodices. Ines DiSanto led the way with her “Marlis” dress. You can find similar looks in a variety of collections, including this gorgeous satin trumpet gown with beaded embroidered bodice from Sincerity.

Hair accessories

Another great way to wear pearls on your wedding day is in your hair. Pearls can make a great alternative to crystals in headbands, tiaras, and other hair accessories. This Malis-Henderson wreath offers a beautiful combination of pearl and crystal, giving a soft romance with a bit of sparkle.

Shoes

Pearl details can also be a beautiful addition to shoe styles. Here again, pearls can be used instead of or alongside crystals for a fantastic look. This pair of sandal heels from Coloriffics features a rhinestone and pearl covered t-strap that would look fabulous under any gown.
