This season’s trends are full of shimmering surprises. One of our favorites is sophisticated shine à la sequins, metallics and crystal embellishments that have graced everything from the Oscars to the Runways. We love seeing stylish brides show their creativity while making a modern and elegant statement with their pre-wedding and after party looks.
A little unsure about how to pull this sparkling trend off at your wedding? No problem. We have a few fashion secrets to share...
FOCUS ON ACCESSORIES AND ACCENTS
As we mentioned in last week’s post, chic shoes with elegant embellishments are everywhere this season. Don’t be afraid to choose with something that seems to literally catch the light—gorgeous metallic and modern Lucite® block heels. The same is true for your jewelry and clutch. We swoon over Edie Parker’s customizable clutches. The modern neutral undertones set against glitter-filled text will highlight your inimitable personal style. Bounkit is another one of our go-to’s for subtly shimmering statement jewelry.
A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO REMAIN NEUTRAL
Select accessories and accents in a neutral color scheme of champagne and ivory. These unequivocally elegant tones will give you a sophisticated flair and highlight your dress, while still adding an additional unexpected element of style.
For the bride that wants to shimmer and shine in her Rehearsal Dinner, Engagement Photo, Wedding Reception and After Party Dress, we also have a few ideas for you!
ELEGANTLY SHINE LIKE A FIFTH AVENUE DIAMOND
Consider our Laura Rose Gold A-Line Short Sleeve Shift inspired by Jackie O or our Grace Kelly-inspired Sequin and Blush Sydney Sweetheart Dress. The short sleeve on the Laura makes it an ideal selection for pre and post wedding events year round regardless of the season. While our Sydney is unquestionably an optimal option for your Reception and After Party.

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.
