Matrimonial Mondays: It's All in the Details

Here at the ENVI design studio, our resident blogger has decided to create a special theme for specific days of the week. Debuting today, Monday, October 26, 2009, we will start to cater our blog directly to these specific themes.

Matrimonial Mondays: All about weddings....it's all in the details.

One of the newest trends in Wedding Gowns for the end of 2009 and 2010 is 50's chic. Have you noticed that the fashion of the 50's is sparking around us in all areas and facets of life? Tea Length skirts, Tulle, and high necklines make way for a 50's flair all around.

What's HOT for Spring 2008!

With the busiest time of the wedding season approaching, each year continues to have different ideas and designs that come to play. Your wedding style is ultimately depicted by you and your Fiance. However, sometimes what is in style for the general public has an influence over what you have your eye on.

Do you enjoy more subtle colors or something more vivid and bold?

How about a chic wedding gown vs. the traditional white lace that your mother and grandmother wore?

Over time, designs and styles reappear and that lace that would have made you cringe 5 years ago, is now popping up more often than ever.

The days of pastel pink, peach, and white as the staple wedding colors are gone and you are finding more brides reaching towards the fuschias, oranges, Robin's Egg Blue (also known as Tiffany's Blue), and even Chocolate and Black (not together of course).

Envi Consulting & Associates wants to give you some ideas of what the Spring 2008 trends are for Weddings this year.

Gowns

Starting with light cotton and organza gowns are best for spring, even though the 50s inspired trends from Winter 2007 will cross over into 2008. Classic and romantic embellishments such as eyelets, lace, and bead work are tops for the 2008 year. My personal favorite Bridal gown designer is Demetrios! For me, I can't wait to wear a Demetrios gown!

Not only are you focused on the Bride's gown, but Bridesmaids dresses are important also. The conservative but fun look is IN for Bridesmaids. Babydoll dresses, Tea length, Full skirts, Silk halters, and don't forget the cute shoes!
