ART DECO DELIGHT

Nothing beats adorning yourself in gorgeous jewellery, slipping on your favourite earrings to frame your face, sparkling jewels to highlight the decolletage, am I right? I just love the art deco style and glamorous crystals exquisitely set in antique silver plated pewter settings are key this season. Mimco's new 'Empire' range of art deco inspired pieces are great teamed with vintage inspired wedding decor and fashion.  The glass pearls set into the silver plated pewter of the Empire Pearl Choker are garnished with drop set crystals to instantly and effortlessly add elegance to any outfit and a must have in my jewellery box for this season...and after your special day, simply pair it with a tailored shirt for a subtle statement piece.

'IN MY DREAMS' BRIDAL COLLECTION 2012/2013

Last night I was thrilled to be one of the first to view Liza Emanuele's exclusive new Emanuele Bride Collection called 'In My Dreams'.  The stunning collection is made up of ready-to-wear and demi-couture pieces, offering a variety of styles, fabrics and detailing to suit all tastes and body sizes, yet presenting an affordable solution to girls who may be on a budget yet still want a fabulous couture piece.  Precious fabrics, superior workmanship and clever details showcase the designers’ signature style, using luxurious fabrics, the most beautiful laces and handmade embellishments sourced from across the globe.  Here a a few of my favourites...

PRETTY PEPLUM

I am so excited that flirty peplums make have made a major comeback 2012! Peplum dresses have been all over bridal runways (think everyone from Vera Wang to Marchesa and Monique Lhuillier), and for good reason – a ruffle here and a ruffle there can do wonders for any bride’s figure!  This versatile style can create, accent and conceal curves. I just love Vera Wang's latest dramatic sand coloured one-shoulder garza and French tulle ballgown with asymmetrical peplum bodice and draped skirt with tulle petal detail and horsehair and tulle corsage. It is so graceful with such an ultra feminine vibe and appeal making it one of the most remarkable and romantic Vera Wang bridal gowns for this season!!!
