You know what’s coming for Fall 2011? Color, color, color! We are digging the electric hues we find in shoes these days and think it would be a fun way to break the ‘nudes’ trend in an instant. What a fun look for bmaids for the afterparty! And the bride? Colorblock of course…she’s gets the best of all the hues in one shoe!

How much do we love these patterned bridesmaid’s dresses? Lots! Perfect for a Spring wedding, these alternative styles add unexpected pops of color and a touch of whimsy. We think its simply wonderful that brides are making bolder choices when it comes to their girls’ attire, don’t you? Spring is in the air!

We often get the question…what do you recommend for bridesmaid’s gifts? Well the first thing we tell brides is, don’t get too focused on gifts that fit into the wedding day…as they may never get used again! But these gorge bags by Red Ruby Rose do double duty…you can find some that fit in your palette AND they can be used again and again! What is a bar bag, you ask? Well a fab small bag that can be used in an informal way for a night out on the town. Way more cool than a mini, glittery thing that is too small to hold a phone and too fancy to spill a good pint on…
I love the ideas of cute robes for a bridesmaids gift. It’s an item that people just usually don’t buy for themselves, but once they have one, they don’t know how they lived without it. Especially these really cute ones from Doie that are stylish, ecofriendly (made from bamboo) and comfy (made of Jersey…yes that is what tshirts are made of…yummy).

Summer wedding season is upon us, and if brides have the dress and veil in tow, they are probably still deciding on one key factor…SHOES! I suggest you wait until the very end to make this all important decision, because shoe trends change pretty often. Not that you want your look to be totally ‘trendy’ but since your wedding dress may cover your shoes for the majority of the wedding, you can have something fun and unexpected on your feet that get the attention during your portrait session.
We just got a fresh crop of Badgley Mischka shoes in. Can you handle how cute the frilly fabric is on the Randall and Randee? And the Hyde is not only a perfect something blue, but our store manager, Cassandra, has found a fun way to manipulate the fabric bow to make a variety of looks from one shoe. Come in and ask for a demo!
And for your bridesmaids, have a little fun with color and detail. The shoe shots are some of our favorite photos at a hip wedding! Three hot trends right now are slate gray, floral prints, and neon pink.
