Bridal fashion flare: Flowers, feathers and more…


The modern day bride has a lot of options when it comes to her overall look. Fusing together the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ is a popular trend that makes for a lot of interesting choices. Drawing from tradition, we see a lot of brides incorporating that ‘something blue’ or long cathedral veils with big silhouettes and blushers. To pair these more traditional looks with contemporary flare (dramatic headpieces, peacock feathers, silk flowers, chunky accessories and pink, gold, oyster or champagne colored gowns) is a popular choice for many brides.

Making an exciting fashion comeback is the 30’s inspired feather birdcage. We love the modern look of Martina Liana’s casual yet gorgeous dupioni silk gown (with pockets!) paired with a structured birdcage. This intriguing look melds together vintage and contemporary styles. To add more romance, an antique lace veil paired with a sleek and modern gown like “Diamante” (a design by Pronovias noted for its elegance and clean lines) is also an exceptional choice. A lot of brides are also wearing veils low (just above the bun) adding a modern twist to a traditional look. To complete your beautiful ensemble, add a whimsical rhinestone headpiece (pictured above is the new tiara and then some) for equal parts ‘princess’ and ‘grace’. Different shapes and sizes are also hitting the pages of trendy fashion magazines: daring knee length gowns with lots of skirt and tulle, antique lace, full volume pick-ups and ‘off the shoulder’ bohemian chic.

Whether you are looking for a gown with simple lines or plenty of ‘princess poof’, visit our boutique to experiment with these dynamic new looks. Who knows, you might just tap into your inner glamour queen of the 30’s!
