IN & OUT: Fashion Trends (part one)

As event planners, we are constantly collaborating with top vendors whom are truly experts in what they do. Not only are they knowledgeable and creative, they have a viewpoint unlike any other noting the trends that come, that go… and creating brand new trends themselves! This week our ‘IN & OUT‘ series will hear from a few of our wedding professional friends. We can expect to hear the down and dirty truth about what is ‘in’ and what is ‘out’ as we begin the summer!

What’s OUT for Summer 2015?

Belts- brides have being adding jeweled belts to their gowns regardless of whether they were designed with it or not. I’m glad to see this “trend” finally move on. I think with the return of the ballgown and slimmer/sexier silhouette and the abundance of adornment on gowns, there is no longer a “need” to add belts.

What’s IN for Summer 2015?

I am excited to see brides embrace the tradition of the veil. For so long they were short and plain, now I am seeing cathedral, ornate veils on my brides, I have even seen the Spanish mantilla this season ! It truly elevates a woman’s look from “a girl in white dress” to Bride, and they are loving it ! So much love, that we are “bustling” it for our couples cocktail hour.
