Bridal Trends

all these bridal places in australia are copying Mary Donaldson's dress

 

[As You Like It]

Here's the latest project I have been working on. I mailed it off to Massachusetts day before yesterday. All of my customers, bridal or otherwise, seem to want simple, contemporary, yet tradition-acknowledging dresses. Here are other examples.

While I don't like the puffy, meringue-style wedding gowns, personally, I would love the opportunity to make one, because it would be a HELL of a profit. Do you all have any idea how cheap tulle and netting are? But stack up all of that labor, and I could conceivably clear $500 profit on one dress.

ive had the extreme pleasure of speaking with monique lhuillier's mom (by the way, an article abt monique will come out in PEOPLE mag in June). Monique herself hailed from the Philippines (which is where i am) so i was lucky to have the chance to interview her mom. Monique herself will be coming to the Philippines sometime soon and we will definitely be the premiere magazine to feature her gowns.
Anyway i see a veer away from the usual bustier gown, (which i myself am so tired of seeing).
Lace is back with a vengeance, beautiful delicate french alencon lace draped against the body and gathered together with a long satin sash is one of my favorite styles.
it spells class/ and is reminiscent of grace kelly's gown when she married prince rainier, (sans the bouffant skirt). It works well with a simple unembellished a-line skirt.
i personally like that a bride wears something that makes her look fresh on her wedding day.
while it is fun to play dressup a-la queen victoria with the elaborate detail on her wedding gown (layers of lace and silk) i find myself thinking that it really isnt so much the dress that makes the bride. its the aura of glow she carries with her as she walks down that aisle to marry the man she loves.
i guess im so sick of looking at wedding gowns since i am in that line of magazine work but it is indeed a fresh sight to behold when i see a bride NOT wearing a bustier gown
