Let Them Eat Cake!
It’s that time again - happy hump day! Today’s cake is a jaw-dropper - the detail work is outstanding! The dripping lilacs and vines ooze down the layers of the cake, making it feel so organic and perfect for an outdoor affair. Major kudos to the designer for pulling this off - it is executed flawlessly!
Flowers can only enhance your theme. If you’re getting married in the spring, using elements typically found on an estate infused in your bouquet can spawn an art deco feel. In the fall/winter, consider using crystal embellishments or feathers to bring in that additional level of art deco glam.
It’s Faraway Friday!
Happy weekend! In keeping with the 2013 theme, today we’ll look across the pond to England’s own Jenny Packham!
While so many designers for Spring 2013 focus on statement via structure/color/texture, Jenny Packham excels in softening the silhouette, taking the best vintage elements and combining them with modern cuts and accents. There isn’t one dress in her new collection that disappoints!
Bridal Spring 2013 Trend: Dripping with Glam
Here’s another great example, also by Angel Sanchez but in a ball gown silhouette.
Bridal Spring 2013 Trend: Dripping with Glam
One of the things I’m loving for spring 2013 bridal is that designers have become more creative in how they execute the idea of glitz and glamour. Instead of slapping rhinestones everywhere, designers are using tactics that literally feel like there is a liquidity to the dress, so that as it moves, it continues to flatter and sparkle in a natural way. Here are a few favorites, starting with Angel Sanchez’s a-line option.
Let them eat cake!
Happy hump day! This week’s featured cake is a beautiful piece inspired by flower boxes. The detail in the white bases and the striking floral accents make this a great way to incorporate flowers in a somewhat different way.
Oscar de la Renta has also embraced the trend in his Spring 2012 collection, creating a few glam options.
The last floral option from Alice + Olivia that I’ve picked out might be my favorite - the Sara Strapless Fitted Dress feels very vintage chic. I love the length (although I’m personally too short to pull it off) as it screams glamour and again, the belt at the waist really brings a great shape into the mix. The floral pattern in this option is also a little more traditional, so it lends well to that vintage feel. Paired with big sunglasses and hat, this is perfect for a daytime affair.
Again, a top like this can go from casual to formal with a simple choice in bottom. What I love is that this top brings a great color mix into play - it also is an easy way to nod to the pattern as an accent without it being the defining element in an outfit.
