Award season was full of gorgeous inspiration to help you channel the most glamorous Hollywood style icons for your pre-wedding events. We combed through the season's key moments and have ideas for sophisticated looks perfect for each of your events.
SELECT A SLEEK SILHOUETTE
During the Oscars, countless celebrities opted for a sleek, form-fitting dress versus a traditional ball gown. We love this idea (although to be completely honest, we will always love the iconic silhouette Jennifer Lawrence presented as she prepared to accept her Oscar in that inimitable Dior gown a few years ago). A streamlined sheath silhouette with a textural floral motif is perfect for rehearsal dinners and engagement photographs à la our Catherine Halter Dress. Stylishly accessorize with brilliant Pink Diamond studs and a delicate diamond bracelet.
WHITE NOW
A surge of celebrities chose to wear white dresses with elegant details to the Golden Globes. Ruffles, pleats and custom designs were all on display. Your wedding weekend is an ideal opportunity to do the same. Select a modern all-white look with a sleek sophisticated detail. A delicate silver ribbon gracefully tied at the back neck creates the ultra feminine mark of our Lisa Sheath (pictured above). As evidenced by the above image, this style photographs beautifully. Subtly highlight the beautiful ribbon back with an artfully styled top knot and brilliant Pink Diamond earrings.
ELEGANT EMBELLISHMENTS
Whether you were watching the SAG awards or the Golden Globes, we’re sure you noticed this one. Nominees were not afraid to show off their glamorous side with bold details, lace accents and sequins. If you’re looking for something more daring, take a hint from your favorite actress and incorporate additional shimmer.
Pearl sequins cast subtly sparkling reflections in our Sydney Silk Sweetheart Dress. A delicately sequined Georgette bodice married to a feminine Blush Silk skirt to create a breathtaking and picture perfect image for your Rehearsal Dinner, Wedding Reception or After Party. Underscore with minimalist jewelry...a delicate diamond bracelet, pearl and diamond earrings...

White can be symbolic of new beginnings, purity, and the start of a new life together in many cultures. It's also associated with traditional wedding ceremonies in Christianity. The tradition of wearing white wedding gowns has both historical and cultural roots. Queen Victoria is often credited with popularizing the white wedding dress in the 19th century when she married Prince Albert in a white gown. Select this lovely little link to read an in-depth article featured in Brides that highlights the history of Queen Victoria’s choice to wear a white wedding dress.
Wondering how to find your perfect fit in wedding gowns? Typically wedding dress sizes can be different from regular clothing sizes. Wedding dress sizing often follows its own set of sizing charts, and may differ from one bridal designer or brand to another. Wedding dress sizes often run smaller than regular clothing sizes, meaning that a bride may need to choose a wedding dress size that is larger than her usual size.
