Why You Should Consider a Black Wedding Dress

If you ask a bride what color her wedding dress will be, it's not often she replies, "Black." Black has always been a taboo in American weddings. But with color making a comeback, there's no reason to shy away from this sultry, figure flattering color.

Even if it’s not for a wedding dress, many women love to wear black. The dark hue hides a million sins (so to speak!), which makes you feel more confident - and more comfortable - in your clothing. At a wedding, black comes off as elegant and sophisticated.

Still can't get behind coming down the aisle in a black gown? Apart from bridal dresses, there are many ways you can incorporate the color into your wedding day. Use black in your wedding decor to give the room an upscale feel. Pair it with red, pink, or gold for a classy effect.

If you are interested in wearing a black wedding dress, there are now a number of designers that offer this color option. Schedule an appointment at our boutique where we can help you explore the possibilities!

Hairstyle Options for Your Wedding Day

Nowadays, there are so many options for making your hair stand out during your big day. This is important to know for brides because they will be the star throughout the entire day. If she is unable to keep her appearance good, she might not look good in the photos. As such, it is important that she prepares for the big day by looking her best.

Apart from hiring a good hairstylist, it really pays to know what the bride’s options are. If you are the bride-to-be for an upcoming wedding, here are some tips on how to wear your hair:

Retro Glam

One of the trends for bridal or bridesmaid hair is highly influenced from old Hollywood. Known as the retro glam hairstyle, it is a style wherein one side of the hair is pinned behind the ear and created with an S pattern. Another option for bries is to have a side swept chignon with a loose braid; as it keeps the face clean.

Half Up, Half Down

A foolproof hairstyle for a bride is a half up, half down. This is a great option for those who do not know any other hairstyle that would be a good match for their dress. It’s really important that the dress is not too hidden by the hair, especially if wearing an embroidered top. Otherwise, the top portion of the dress will be hidden by hair.

When picking out hairstyles for your bridesmaids, you have to remember that you do not need to have them match all their style. This is no longer applicable in today’s time, as it really is about the preference of your bridesmaids.

Here are some tips on how to dress for a winter wedding as a guest:

Colors to Wear: One of the first things you have to consider about winter weddings is that they are mostly all about the holiday colors. This means that the couple may choose a theme that is based on the part of the holidays that they appreciate most—snow, Christmas lights, or Santa Claus. Make sure that you check what the theme of the wedding is and go for that color too. It’s best that you stick to solid patterns instead of floral so that you stay in line with the theme as well.

Wear Jewelry: The good thing about wearing solid patterned clothes is that you can dress it up with jewelry. Go for either a gold or silver jewelry that complements your outfit. Make sure that you keep your style simple and classic so that you don’t overpower the event.

Wearing Layers:  Depending on where the wedding location is, you have to make sure that you also use the right covering to keep you warm. Your options include cashmere, wool, velvet, or heavyweight satin. If it’s not that cold, you can opt for a pashmina.

As a wedding guest, you have to ensure that you don’t go overboard with what you are wearing. You have to stay classy so that you will look good on the photos.
