Glamorous Gold

The fashionistas have spoken and the verdict is in: this year’s bridesmaid trend colour is GOLD! It was all over the awards carpet this year in all textures and tones: from flashy organza to sequins, and matte tulle. Gold is an original, welcome splash of shine and colour.

Gold actually flatters many skin tones and adds a luminescent touch. It’s an easy to wear colour as an accessory or as a dress. As a dress, gold can be matched with crystal accessories, powerful gem-tones such as emerald and sapphire, and for a very chic look, pairing different metals, such as silver and brass. Shoes best suited for gold are peep-toe or sandals with a shimmery element.

 

Not all golds are bright and blinding (blindingly beautiful!). Depending on the material, the gold can be less overpowering than one perceives it. On a jersey dress, the gold will appear more matte with a sparkle , whereas chiffon will add the bijoux-blitz factor.   

 

 

Bridal Capes

As we saw on Solange Knowles, a cape can be the “IT” thing. How would could a bride wear a cape with her wedding dress? Most brides will see a cape as an ultra-modern, contemporary accessory that is difficult to integrate with her dress, but it is possible and can add the perfect regal touch.

 A cape does not need to be long! A short cape over the shoulders is just as beautiful, beaded and scalloped or with metallic lace, as we saw on the Paris catwalks this season. It can also an accessory that can add length to the dress’ train, or be a replacement for a veil if the bride isn’t fond of the idea of wearing one. A sheer, iridescent cape with shimmering lace on a simple silk dress will work wonders, or a tulle cape with a beaded edge over a lace dress will be stunning. 

Capes are removable and can be worn for the ceremony, the opening dance and throughout the reception. For spring and summer weddings, shorter capes with light fabrics, such as organza or soft tulle, would be perfect, whereas a crepe or satin cape will work wonders for Fall and Winter weddings.
