Ideas for 2016

We have just had the National Wedding Show and the first  Bridal Show in London with all the ideas and forecasts from the bridal designers and manufacturers for next year. 

 It means we can stay ahead of the game as most bridal shops can only order now and wait for many months before they can show you what is to come. We have that infomation now to use now.

 There is a suggestion that brides will be going for a bit more colour.There are some beautiful blush and pastel colours emerging onto the bridal market and lace will continue to feature strongly, although there is a progression to beaded lace dresses and sequinned dresses that offer a bit of shimmer. Dresses with sleeves, shoulder straps or a capped sleeve are strong and brides are liking dresses that offer the ability to change their ‘look’ from day to evening. For example a bride may wear shrug or detachable shoulder straps with her dress for the wedding service and daytime, and then remove to add a crystaled belt or sash for an evening ‘look’.

There is a softness with lots of tulle layers and soft skirts, even two piece outfits and still lots of belts.

Simple but effective.

 Hand painted wedding dresses.

 Grandeur and elegance.

and a keen influence from the past.
