The Wedding Gown...

According to Heather Batt, owner of Hayden Olivia Bridal in Charlotte, asymmetrical designs, and particularly the one-shouldered dress, are all the rage. The exposed shoulder is a fresh change from the traditional strapless gown, and it allows brides to be chic and sexy without being too revealing.

Another big trend is making everything old new again. The 1920s have a big influence on this year’s designs, with flapper dresses and vintage-style accessories. Batt says pillbox hats with mini cage veils, along with ostrich or crème-colored feather hairpieces, are great complements. Greek goddess dresses are also making a comeback. The sleek designs of this period offer versatility — you can simplify for beach or destination weddings, or glamorize for more elegant affairs. These dresses look fabulous on bridesmaids, as well as on brides.

A Savvy Trend Alert!

Show-stopping Shoes: Peep-toes with jewels or beads are great way to finalize your look. Choose a colored shoe for a fun surprise or a metallic shoe for glamorous touch.

Unique Veil: Long or short, birdcage or visor, plain or rhinestone-edged, the right veil will top off your ensemble. Accenting your veil with a vintage brooch, exotic feathers or a large single hairpin adds the perfect touch of glamour.

Handcrafted Jewelry: A great pair of dangly earrings made from sustainable materials such as freshwater pearls, Swarovski crystal or glass beads are a simple yet stunning way complete your look. Search for one-of-a-kind pieces that add drama to the style of your gown without overpowering it.

Floral Trends!

Floral designer Taylor O’Shields, who owns The Place for Flowers, says choosing a mood, a feeling, an emotion that you are trying to elicit is very important when deciding what kinds of flowers and arrangements you want for your wedding or reception. Is your goal to create a traditional atmosphere? Or do you prefer a minimalist look? Do you yearn to feel you’ve stepped back in time with a vintage style? Or would you rather be on the cutting edge?

Long before the wedding, begin to collect pictures of flowers and floral arrangements that you love. Gather samples of colors that you like, either alone or in combination with others. Find photographs of weddings or other environments that have the mood you want to create. Think about all the things in your life that inspire you or make you happy — from music to art to literature to food. Take all of these ideas when you meet with your floral designer. He or she will have a much clearer picture of who you are and what you want and will be able to use those qualities to inspire the perfect floral designs for your wedding.
