Wedding Gown Trends for 2011

2011 has now officially started – brides are back into wedding mode and looking for new styles and colours for this year.

Flowers are a big hit this year for the bridal industry whether this is patterned within the fabric of the gown or brooch designs added onto the body of the dress. Blush is the chosen colour by our fantastic bridal designers including Mori Lee and Benjamin Roberts as well as top couture designers on our catwalks.

In terms of styles of bridal gowns this season, the ever so popular fitted from bust to hips with a slight fish tail and train is making its appearance alongside our nations favourite princess style tulle layered skirts. Fitted bodice showcasing small waist lines into an A-Line skirt is the preferred design with a lot of our designers staying on-trend.

Bridesmaid choice of colour this season is slowly moving away from the every so popular purple making way for apple greens and fuchsia pinks – perfect for a spring/ summer wedding, or to warm up those dull days of autumn.

Same is not always best option!

I have found a few brides trying to find the best suitable options for bridesmaid dresses. The same problems keep occuring " One bridesmaid is quite heavy busted, but then my other bridesmaid is quite short, and my maid of honour is tall and a size 8". On a lot of occasions, one style of dress will not suit each bridesmaid, and this is where brides struggle. A solution? How about having each bridesmaid in exactly the same colour, but different styles of dresses. This will not only complement your best friends but also look fab in your wedding pics! If one bridesmaid is heavy busted - why not try a one-shouldered design, or a design which has thicker strapes as part of. A bridesmaid whom is quite short - I wouldn't advise for them to have a 3/4 length dress as this will highlight their height. Really try and go with body shapes - if they are quite curvy, perhaps a lace up design which will pull in their waist to highlight their fabulous curves.

Having something different on your wedding day makes the day that little more "perfect". Not everybody likes matching everything - this can sometimes look too much, so instead try mixing things up slightly!

Your Wedding Transport

Getting The Most Out of Your Transport

When choosing your transport it is always a good idea to think about what look you would like to go for - luxury limousine, antique style jaguar, or sleek and stylish Chrysler? Your transport will be used a lot for the perfect backdrop for wedding photographs so perhaps keep a thought for colours complimenting bridesmaids, and kilts etc. Also how accessible the car will be with the fuller wedding dress? At Your Wedding Consultant we have a range of chauffeur services that are perfect for any wedding.
