Fashion Merchandising

With summer approaching, I thought it would interesting to look into the trends for wedding dresses. I found that many brides are choosing to go with color for their big day. International weddings are showing champage, pink and even red gowns. In Italy they are saying that it is hard to even find a white gown. I really like new styles in wedding gowns but, even with a love for red, I don’t know if I would wear a red gown. If brides do choose to do white for their dress there are new ways to incorporate color as well. They are showing color on the bottom of their shoes as well as the crinoline in the dress. They can also add a colored ribbon or colorful jewelry to keep from being basic.

Lace give a vintage feel which many brides are choosing to do. It is a very feminine touch for the wedding and the dresses are beautiful. Bridesmaids may need to get a spray tan, I am very against tanning (sorry!!) because rich colors are in this year. You should be seeing rich purple, orange, gold and red. This is a big change from the pastel, but that is definately a good thing if you ask me. The hottest color for fall is definately orange.

I was also very suprised and happy to see that many couples are going natural for the wedding. Don’t get the wrong idea…they are serving organic food, recycled invitations will be used as well as pesticed free flowers.
