New York Bridal Market Trend Report: Color

Myself and our managers just came back from New York, New York where we attended Bridal Fashion Week (which really amounts to a weekend...but never mind all that. LOL!). We loved seeing all the upcoming bridal gown styles and trends and we want to share as much of that info with you...all week long! Check back daily for more on the trends we saw and bought for the Spring season.

Color is here in a BIG way! We talked last week about blush and pink bridal gowns, but I assure you that pink is only the tip of the iceberg. Not only did Vera Wang send gorgeous, black wedding gowns down the runway, we saw gowns in subtle greys, soft purples, and striking prints. We actually picked up a new gown from Cotin Sposa (again, I know! But their collection is just SO GORGEOUS!!) in a lovely greyish-purple that you absolutely have to try on (don't forget that their trunk show is coming up next month).

In case you're wondering if colored gowns actually work for a wedding, I can give you my personal assurance that they do! Having gotten married in a soft pink wedding gown myself, I am a little biased. :) But never once did it feel like a prom dress nor did I feel any less like a bride. I felt lovely and beautiful and like myself (daring little fashion devil that I am!). Here's a photo of one of our former brides, Joey, on her wedding day (Happy 1st anniversary, btw, J!). She chose Maggie Sottero's ever-popular Victoriana in black for her big day and she looked A-MAZING! She was estatic with her choice and it fit her personality so perfectly.

Going with a non-traditional color is a risk, but one that is totally worth it. You, your groom, and your guests will remember your gown and will be talking about it for years to come. But don't forget, even if color isn't your thing, most dresses sampled in a non-traditional colors are available in traditional colors of ivory or white. Also, if you like the idea of color but can't imagine a dress full of it, you can always add that pop of color in a belt or other accent piece. I'll be back to tell you about more about belts tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Best Wedding Wishes,

Blush, Pink, and Rose Colored Wedding Dresses

We're happy to report that there is no rule that you have to wear either a white or ivory bridal gown on your wedding day. You are free - if you'd like - to embrace a little color instead!

How about a blush, pink, or rose colored gown, for instance? Celebrities like Reese Witherspoon and Gwen Stefani have walked down the aisle in rosy hued gowns and at the spring bridal markets, blush gowns were everywhere.

One of the first of our designers to pick up the trend this season was KittyChen Couture. This month she introduced the "Charlotte" in a spectacular rose color, similar in color to the "Summer" from her 2011 collection (which was a smash hit!).

Ella Rosa offers this gown (below) in a light pink that we simply adore:

One of Maggie Sottero's best sellers, the "Victoriana", comes in a pearl rose color (along with black, gold, white, and ivory!) that is just amazing:

Don't feel confined to traditional ideas of white or ivory for your wedding dress. If you're daring enough, go for a little color in your gown and make it memorable.

I know it seems early to be thinking about Spring, but in the bridal world, we're already there!  Today I got to thinking about what colors would be hot for spring...we've just come away from a purple trend (which I thoroughly enjoyed) and it's probably about time for something new.  I wonder if the muted colors we've been seeing in the fashion world will carry over into the bridal world as well?

Need some color inspiration?  Check out this blog post from OneWed.com's blog, Savvy Scoop.  Once you choose your colors, be sure to tell us about it at www.facebook.com/suzannesbridalboutique.
