Ring in the New Year with some Old World Charm!

In the world of fashion, trends are always changing. Yet some trends will remain forever timeless, like classic pearls. Why not plan a wedding that captures the beauty of the past? Consider vintage styles when deciding on your day's dress and accessories. A beautiful sheath gown paired with pearl earrings can give you an Audrey Hepburn charm that will leave your guests breathless. Little details like pearls on your 1940's style pumps will complete this class distinguish your vintage look.

Every bride fantasizes of being surrounded by sparkle and shine on her big day, but is it possible to make it look classy, without going too over the top? Let winter's natural hues of blue and silver guide your color palette when deciding how to dress up your wedding. Every girl knows you can never have too much glitter so adorn your table decor with sparkles that will glisten like a dream as the night goes on. For a timeless feel, a hairpiece with a hint of shimmer pulls your look together effortlessly. If you're feeling daring, add a bolero to your ensemble.

What better excuse than the holiday season to get inspired by the light-catching beauty of sparkle? Molding perfectly to whatever the tone of your big day--whether elegant or fun, timeless or romantic, all of the above--this chameleon of texture can be just the right finishing touch to gowns and decor alike. A crystalline headpiece infuses any hairstyle with glamor, and glittery heels add a small detail that makes your outfit unique; sparklers make whimsical favors for guests, and wine bottles filled with strings of light make creative substitutions for candles. Looking for grandeur?

Flowers are a staple of wedding decor--but the modern bride knows they can be anything but traditional. Turn the classic bridal bouquet on its head with bold shapes, colors, and textures for a high-fashion look that shows off your impeccable style. A cute floral shrug keeps you warm and well-dressed, and--for those who dare--there are bridal gowns adorned with every amplitude of pretty petals. Hanging glass jars transform table bouquets into striking wall art, and an aisle customized to your color palette lends an ethereal air to your big bridal moment.

Every bride deserves to make an impact on her wedding day. To keep all eyes on you from head to toe, step into a glamorously distinct pair of heels to complete your bridal look. Light-catching sparklers can act as jewelry for your feet, peeking out beneath your hemline with each step you take; and brightly colored pumps add a touch of fun to an all-white ensemble. For the avant-garde bride who plans to wear a shorter gown down the aisle, architectural footwear shows off a couture sensibility. And let's not forget the groom: a funky pair of socks add personal flair to the standard tuxedo.

What is a family but a mosaic of colorful people joined together in a design that's all its own? As you and your groom become permanent pieces in each other's lives, take inspiration for your own mosaic of loved ones from the collage-like beauty of this timeless art form. Rows of multicolor ceramic from any hardware store make beautiful and original DIY table runners, easily conforming to any color scheme; and a gorgeous diamond cuff adds look-at-me sparkle to an understated bridal gown.

For the dress of the week Angela's Bridal has chosen a stunning gown from the Allure Bridals Couture Collection, in honor of the trunk show that they are hosting November 18^th – 20^th at Angela’s Bridal in Albany.  The team at Angela's couldn’t be more ecstatic to receive this bridal gown in their store, not only because they typically do not carry Allure Couture Bridal, but also because this dress is absolutely amazing. 

As temperatures drop, even the bravest autumn bride can shiver at the sight of a strapless gown--but that's no reason to put off your dream wedding till June!
