2013 Wedding Trend Predictions

I've just read a very interesting post by Christine Dyer of Bridal Tweet and I have to say even though I have been married for a while, I feel inspired for the first time in a while to plan a wedding again.

Some of the trends she mentioned are:

1. Mint as a wedding colour.  Super cool and creates such a relaxed and classy atmosphere.

Wedding Paper Divas 

2. Paper Lanterns for Decorations.  Very affordable and adds a quirky quality to your day

Good Things Wedding Favors

3. Braids for your wedding hairstyle which I think is just so cute

I hope you enjoy the post and do tell us what you will be doing with your wedding.

A British Dress for an American Bride - Lots of Amazing Real Wedding Pictures

I know we promised to continue with our Celebrity Wedding Fashion Series but we've finally got Jolene's wedding pictures through and we just had to share.  Oh my goodness! Did she look amazing in her Estilo Moda wedding dress? We definitely say YES!!!

Jolene wanted her dress to be light and airy, floaty and flowy (as we like to call it) for her beach wedding.  She is an American who tied the knot with the British love of her life in her home country last month and we are so proud that she chose Estilo Moda to create her beautiful bespoke wedding dress.  Jolene's dress was created with a 3D lace fabric for the sweetheart neckline bodice and a soft silk chiffon fabric for her sheath style skirt with a puddle train.  She also did not want the hassle of a slipping bodice; so we created straps for her dress with a sophisticated cross back detail. The bodice was cut quite low at the back to show off her lovely sun kissed skin.

Jolene's Testimonial 'The design consultation was so much fun! Lisa listened to what I wanted, and I could tell she had the professional experience as well as personal talent to be able to suggest ways to make your ideas come to life. She was honest and genuine so I felt I could really trust her.  The customer service was impeccable throughout and I am incredibly happy with the result: my dress came on time and on budget and it fits perfectly. I feel my experience with her was one of the highlights of the wedding planning period :)' 

Do enjoy and let us know what you think...

I hope this provides some ideas and inspiration for you in planning your wedding.

Celebrity Wedding Look Series: 10 Celebrity Wedding Hairstyles

Its common knowledge that a typical celebrity will never attend an important occasion without being vetoed and certified head to toe by expert and very well paid stylists.  Now imagine how much more thought and deliberation goes into a typical celebrity's entire look on their wedding day.

I would imagine that they would be attended to by a huge army of designers and stylists to deal with dress, shoes, hair, jewellery, make-up, underwear and even teeth, nails and skincare.  This is quite simply the reason why they get their event looks so right and attain the style many of us dream of but just do not know how to put together or pull off.

Our 'Celebrity Wedding Dresses to Inspire You' post was so successful and viewed so many times, we have decided to have a Celebrity Wedding Look Series over the next few weeks to show what the celebrities' preferences were for various aspects of their wedding style.

Katherine Heigl 

This week, we are featuring celebrity wedding hairstyles.  We will be showing you pictures of 10 celebrity wedding hairstyles that we love which may help you in making that big decision on how best to wear your wedding hair. 

Enjoy and feel free to ask questions and make suggestions.
