2013 Bridal Gown Trends for the Michigan Bride

The 2013 Bridal Market in New York kicked off this weekend, the place to be for bridal fashion trends and capture the predictions for next year’s wedding season.

Vera Wang’s collection was titled “Mei Meng” which means, “Dream” in Chinese. Always pushing the boundaries when she unveils her latest collections; never for the shy bride, always for the daring.

Vera Wang as well as Oscar de la Renta and Romona Keveza showcased their 2013 collections of bridal gowns.  Challenging the traditional white, ivory or ecru gown,  their creations were wrapped in the most luxurious shades of red!

Which fashion forward shade of red gown is your favorite?

Oscar took his pursuit of ‘out of the box’ thinking a little further by showcasing the Bridal Pantsuit as did Carolina Herrera.

However, one of hottest trends overall was the Peplum Gown. Straight from some of this year’s fashion runways, the look is modern yet classic.  Many bridal gown designers are embracing the peplum design in their collections.

Bridal Brooch Bouquets for the Michigan Bride

Brooch Bouquets are the new trend in bridal fashion.

Metro Luxe Events Candice Vallone is currently helping a Bride design a beautiful bouquet for her upcoming wedding.

A unique feature about having a custom made brooch bouquet is that you can send the designer any family heirlooms to include in your creation.

Perhaps you have your grandmother's brooch or sets of vintage jewelry that your mother passed down to you, or a special piece that your future husband gave you, combine those collections to include in your bouquet.

Other fabulous   additions to include in your custom bouquet have your friends and family each gift you a brooch to incorporate
into your custom creation.

The end result will be a true treasured keepsake.




For a very personal and special touch, you can also have custom made Bridesmaid Brooch Bouquets as a gift of appreciation.

Brooch bouquets are simply gorgeous; they will last forever, and are a true work of art!

WINTER BRIDE

Winter is a beautiful time to have a wedding; however, Brides don’t have to suffer from having “Cold Feet”.

When choosing the perfect shoe for your bridal ensemble, all Brides want a magnificent shoe to compliment their wedding gown. The winter months can wreak havoc on your soles, so opt to have 2 pairs of wedding shoes.

Metro Luxe Events Candice Vallone suggests when selecting your shoes, have one pair of stylish boots for getting to and from the Ceremony and Reception and another pair to change into for the remainder of your special day.

You can go for ultra warmth and comfort, like the Coach Boot picutred above or go all out on flair with a speciality designer boot.

You don’t have to sacrifice style to cover your feet from the cold of winter.
