Blush and Bashful: An Ode to Steel Magnolias
Hello lovelies!
Whether you are planning a wedding, dreaming of planning a wedding or like me, re-planning your own wedding in your mind 15 years later, the wedding industry will always keep you on your toes. If there is a way to accurately describe this nouveau sub-culture it would be, in a word, dynamic. This can be exciting for people who are designing and planning weddings every day however, it can be somewhat overwhelming for the bride.
Fortunately, the fashion world is running on a six to twelve month projection so you have no need to fear. Word to the wise: make sure you aren’t so trendy that people can’t relate. You can over-trend and that can be confusing! Here are a few tips to help you navigate the ever-changing styles:
- Stay true to your own sense of style while incorporating hints of current trends. Your wedding is not the time to break out of your style genre.
- Keep in mind your overall theme and vision. Continue to ask yourself, “Does this fit with the total look I’m trying to achieve or do I just REALLY like it?”
- Is there a way to incorporate this on a smaller scale?
- GET FEEDBACK! Ask your planner, your best friend and your Mom (yes, your Mom) who will all be brutally honest, “Does this work?”
- Lastly, have fun without being overly concerned with what is going on in New York because chances are you aren’t getting married on the runway!
So, keeping all of this newfound advice in mind let’s get off the page and take a field trip to test our skills! One of the hottest trends right now is hued wedding dresses. The runways are filled with pale-pink, barely there blush and perfect peach. The subtle color, when used correctly, adds an element of romantic allure. The opposite is true as well.
