Is your ring finger now sparkling with the diamond of your dreams? Be sure to give your toes the same special treatment. The shoe is all important. Let’s not forget the removing of the garter, where they’ll be taking center stage. If you’re having trouble finding the perfect shoes to match your dress or perhaps you’ve already found them but they’re lacking in the dazzle department there are countless ways to up the ante. Well placed lace appliqués, ruffles or bedazzled bows can make all the difference.  If you want to make them glitter or sparkle, why not add a glittered sole, toe, or heel? If you’ve got more of a rock and roll flare you could add a cascade or chains. If you’re going for geek and chic why not cover you’re pumps in your favorite comic strip? Or even add your favorite prehistoric friend?! No matter what your style or niche you make your bridal shoes as memorable and unique as you are.

Hot Trends for Summer Weddings

Hot Trends for Summer Weddings

With the temperature rising and Summer weddings right around the corner make your ceremony and reception as hot as your love. Celebrity event planner Brian Worley goes over the trends heating up for the season. “Go Bright!” says Brian, “Weddings that use these bright colors will be a bit more whimsical and have a playful, not-so-serious theme.” Bright floral colors will add a pop, when mixed with linens in contrasting colors and patterned linens. The “Restoration Hardware” trend is also making an entrance, unlike the pop of the brights this is a more rustic approach using browns, ivory, and grey. “It’s about taking something new that has a modern and eclectic twist” Brian says, mixing luxurious furniture pieces with thick and natural textures create a “sturdy, refined and stylized look.” Lastly the “Art Deco” motif is making a splash, a black and white color palette with pearl accents will be the staples of this Roaring Twenties style revival.

To create an ethereal and angelic feel to match the halo around your new diamond ring consider donning a floral halo of your own. For a spring wedding consider a floral garland to crown your head and accompany your veil. Artsy Wedding Blog suggests “You can choose to head to a florist to have one made especially for you and/or your bridesmaids and flower girls to wear on your wedding day.” This gives you more time to focus on other details for your special day. However, If you are going for a DIY aesthetic, you also have the option of creating one yourself. “This allows you to select exactly the type of flower(s) you want and have them arranged in the exact way you’ve envisioned them to be.” You can arrange the perfect wreath with only a few tools: Floral wire, measuring tape, wire cutter, florist tape, fresh flowers, scissors, a spray bottle, water, and ribbon.
