Sparkly jewels, princess style ball gown, and a cathedral veil are three ingredients that every sophisticated bride has. This bride played up her glamour side & seriously hit it out of the park! The detailing on her gown is beautiful- I know our classic brides that have been planning a black tie wedding since the playground will obsess over her bridal look. This beautiful California wedding was captured by both friend & photographer Randi Marie.
Spring/Summer 2013 Collections are sparkling in jewels! From crystals to beading, designers are going over-the-top to make sure you look and feel like a million bucks on your special day. What’s better than a little bling to match your fabulous ring on your wedding day?! Not much if you ask me!! From golds to silvers and all shades in between, you are sure to find a fabulous gown that adds a little sparkle and shine to your big day.

Chevron, paisley, florals, stripes, and dots… Patterns are everywhere in 2013! Gone are the days of boring plain white heels for your wedding. After all, don’t they just sit in your closet or in a box in the attic? Why not opt for a wedding shoe that you will wear again? Instead of the generic white shoe, bring some pizazz and funk to your wedding look! Patterns are so fun and so easy to add to your wedding. You’ve seen patterns in bow-ties, table runners, bridesmaid dresses and china, but now it’s time to add a little excitement to the bride’s attire! Patterns are sure to bring personality and style to your big day!

With all of our posts about upcoming trends in 2013, I am so excited to see what this year brings! One topic we haven’t really touched on is bridesmaid dress trends for 2013. One trend that I am drooling over is the trend of illusion necklines. We’ve seen illusion necklines surface from season to season for brides, but it’s been awhile since we’ve seen them in bridesmaid dresses. An illusion neckline brings class and elegance to a dress that I just love! It is also so flattering for all body shapes. It sometimes can be difficult to find silhouettes and necklines that all bridesmaids feel comfortable in, but look no more- all of your bridesmaids will be swooning over this look! Just look how gorgeous!
