Why Wear White? Non-Traditional Wedding Dress Inspiration

Why do brides wear white?  The usual answer to this question is that white represents purity and innocence.  Actually, it is because of a fashion trend.  Until the 1800’s, brides often wore their best dress, regardless of color.  This changed when Queen Victoria decided to wear white on her wedding day.  The trend for brides to wear white has continued since.  

Wearing a dress in a color other than white is becoming more prominent in the wedding world.  Wearing a gown in your favorite color is a wonderful way to make your day your own.  Our wedding experts have chosen five dresses that we think will add the perfect pop of color to your big day!

2016 Wedding Trends: Ring in the New Year!

Brides of 2015 revelled in rustic, country style weddings, miles of lace and plenty of chalkboard to personalize their big days. Recently engaged and planning for a 2016 wedding? Here are some trends to look forward to in the new year!

Rich Colors
Soft pinks and creams are being traded for rich tones. To add a pop of color to your decor, try metallics, like gold or silver, to pair with your color scheme. Bridesmaid dresses, centerpieces or even invitations can sparkle away and bring on the glamour to any wedding in any season.

Deeper tones are also exploding on the runway as a contrast to the vintage hues of 2015. Accents of dark purples, ruby reds, and cobalt blues will make any wedding decor pop with color!

Return To Your Roots
Personalizing weddings to bring out the story of the couple is becoming more and more popular. Couples are pulling elements of the places they hold dear in their hearts to celebrate with guests. Adding references to hometowns, recent trips, and favorite hobbies will be more apparent in wedding themes and decor.

Non-Traditional Dresses
Brides are constantly pushing the limits with their wedding gowns, and this new year is no different. Be prepared to see floral prints, feather accents, and metallic tones. Brides want to make a statement and they aren't holding back when changing the traditional ivory gown.

We are excited to see what this new year will bring in weddings! Whatever look you decide to go for in your wedding, make it uniquely yours! Happy 2016!
