Bridesmaid Dresses - Coral Colors By Amsale 2013

It's been a little while since we've done a wedding blog and this week Amsales' Fall 2013 bridesmaid designs caught my eye. I was intrigued to see a bold and bright color like coral in the Fall 2013 bridesmaid collection. Then I thought why not?!! I've certainly seen the sky and trees turn red/pink/orange during the Fall / Autumn months.

As always Amsales' designs combine classic features with a modern minimalism. One of my picks of the bunch is this divine strapless gown in floaty chiffon. I love the barely there peplum detail at the waist that gives this simple column dress something extra.

 

If a block of coral is not your thing Amsale presented us with a few floral options. Yet again we have the romance of chiffon with a very modern floral print that is easy to wear.

I love that they provided this floral in a few different styles as strapless certainly isn't for everyone. I could see this beautiful design adding drama to a beautiful beach side or garden wedding.

 

 Why not mix it up and pick a different design for each of your bridesmaids in keeping with their personal style and body shape.

 

You can also take some inspiration from the beautiful styling of these looks for your bridesmaids. If you're all daring enough opt for a bright coral lip that packs a punch and keep the rest of your makeup neutral. Slicked back hair and no jewelry keeps this look very modern. With such a divine color and beautiful shapes you certainly don't need much to make a statement.

Amsales' bridesmaid collection comes in a variety of colors that won't dissappoint! And in my opinion their beautiful cuts won't be relegated to the back of the wardrobe after the wedding. These dresses are designed to be worn again and again!

Enjoy!

Beach Wedding Elegance 2012 - Wedding Dresses & Bridesmaid Dresses

A beach wedding screams casual, relaxed, natural and the great outdoors. Think a beach wedding can't be formal? Think again, take the class and sophistication of a traditional white wedding outdoors by looking for elegant and romantic details.

The perfect beach wedding dress is usually a column or a-line dress. Both these styles are easy to wear and allows freedom of movement. Look for fabrics that move, are light and won't crease easily as a beach wedding usually requires some travel.

A-LINE DRESSES

An aline dress literally falls away from the waist in an "A" frame. We simply adore the modern twist on this beach wedding bridal gown. It combines all the essentials of a traditional wedding dress with an A-line silhouette and ruched chiffon. The single strap with flower detail and sweep train add glamour.

Here we have another sleek dress with beautiful dipped back. The jewelled detail framing the back adds glamour to this simple style. The short sweep train is a perfect balance of sophistication and elegance without sacrificing ease of movement. You could literally run down the beach in this beautiful style and still look like a star ;)

COLUMN DRESSES

The column (or sheath) dress is what we call a straight dress. It hugs the figure around the torso but falls straight down from the waist. Carolina Herrera Spring 2012 gave us a beautiful selection of very sophisticated gowns that kept the cuts simple and elegant but played up the details. Here we have Edie, a classic column dress with jewelled bodice  and net detail.



A beach wedding does not mean you have to miss out on beautiful, classic lace. Here Carolina gave us another beautiful column dress with chantilly lace all over. This dress can be kept minimal or you can add a jewelled belt or statement necklace at your reception to kick up the glamour a notch. 

Let's not forget the beautiful bridemaids. Keep the same rules in mind when picking dresses for your bridal party. Look for soft, cool colors in beautiful fabrics that are easy to wear.

BEACH BRIDESMAID DRESSES

Full length gowns keep that formal, sophisticated edge. This sweetheart neckline with twist detail adds interest to a simple gown.

One shoulder detail is still a strong trend. Again, it's all about the small details like a little frill and soft pleating. Soft pastels work beautifully in the outdoors against the blue sky.

A tea length dress can be just as sophisticated as a full length gown. Look for beautiful details like sweetheart necklines and belting. The swing skirt on this dress keeps the look light and summery and will be a hit at the after party when the ladies kick up their heels on the dancefloor.

 Strapless is not the only way to go. Sleeveless or halterneck dresses are a great alternative. This beautiful bright dress has a wonderful ruffle detail that is flattering and is easy to wear.
