USABride Hot Wedding Trends for 2009! All you need to know!

The Top 6 Trends for 2009 include:

1.Vintage-Inspired
The vintage inspired look includes rhodium or antique-silver hair accessories and jewelry, bird cage or visor veils, as well as outrageous feather and flower combs—all of which are a throwback to the 1920s. The vintage look is also the perfect opportunity to incorporate family heirlooms, such as Grandma’s silver brooch – timeless pieces that can be used with the visor veils or as an embellishment on the gown itself.

2.Hollywood Glam
Big hair, big jewelry, sparkling head pieces, and tons of glitz! That is Hollywood glam at its best. Use dazzling bouquet jewelry and long dramatic beaded gloves for extra glam! Long, layered, draping necklaces, oversized earrings and bold colored stones in red and black are perfect to draw attention.

3.Don’t Settle for Subtle… Chunky is in!
Brides are choosing to accent their gowns with big, bold jewelry sets--dramatic collars, clusters, or long strands of large pearls and beads, asymmetrical looks and multi-strand drops are all great ideas. Another new trend is a bare neckline with large chandelier earrings, paired with a wide, bold cuff bracelet to really make a statement. Layering several smaller bracelets creates the same effect.

4.Go for the Gold!
The past year has been dubbed the return of gold bridal accessories! Brides are choosing darker-colored gowns in tones like champagne and dark ivory, in natural fabrics such as raw silk. Victorian-style gowns accented with gold tones are also popular this season. Nothing compliments these colors and textures like timeless gold jewelry. There is just something about the richness of the color gold that gives the feeling of luxury and elegance!

5.Organic or Natural Pearls and Stones
Continuing to be very hot this season is the trend to incorporate natural or “organic” elements and shapes into jewelry designs. The natural shape and beauty of Keshi and Fresh Water Pearls, mixed with glazed stones and dazzling Swarovski crystals, inspire exquisite bridal designs. A perfect match for a romantic destination wedding!

6.Greek Goddess Style
Want a look that’s sexy and modern, yet utterly classic? Go for the enchanting look of a Greek goddess-inspired style. The dress should be a long, lean and fluid silhouette or a romantic series of overlapping layers. With this look, the accessories are key to bringing it all together. Look for chunky leaf or vine patterns in a headpiece or hair pins (depending on your hairstyle), as well as the jewelry. You could go with any color, but make sure it is artistic and fanciful.

Wedding Favor Frenzy!

Hello ladies and grooms to be! Many people find themselves a little frustrated when it's time to choose the wedding favors. There are so many choices and options these days. It can be overwhelming! This blog will help to give you some great ideas and choose the perfect favor!

Wedding favors 101

Wedding favors should be thought of as a "thank you" gift to your guests for coming and supporting your new commitment. Ideally, favors will also become memoirs, reminding your guests of your special day. Favors also serve double-duty by being part of the decor for your reception.

Hot Favor Trends

The boom in Destination Weddings have made Beach Favors really hot this year. Also, candle favors are always a great way to go. Everyone loves candles, right? And you can choose candles that compliment theme of your wedding.

Gold Bridal Jewelry Comeback! Go Gold!

The Return of Gold Bridal Jewelry and Tiaras! Go ahead, Go Gold!

What is all the rage?

Gold bridal or wedding accessories are definitely making a comeback! There is just something about the richness of color and warmth that has won us over. Gold Jewelry and Gold Tiaras are especially popular with light ivory, ivory, dark ivory, or champagne wedding gowns or formal dresses.

Many brides are going for the vintage or traditional look (such as our Champagne Blossom tiara above). This is another reason that gold accents are so popular. Many of the wedding gowns today are inspired from the Art Deco era, and are adorned with gold or champagne accents. It is really a beautiful and timeless look!

So go ahead, GO GOLD!

Why Brides need a Bridal Purse! Gotta have it!

Hey Ladies... continuing with my obsession with bridal accessories. I would like to talk about the all important bag! I am a big fan of the Bridal Purse! Where else are you goung to keep your make-up and other essentials? Therefore, consider the color of your gown and match it with the purse. I have attached some photos of my favorites.

Also, try and match the material of your wedding handbag with the material of your dress. For example, if your wedding gown is made of satin, than choose a handbag made of satin with the same coloring.

Remember, the wedding dress is the principle element of your attire on your wedding day. Everything you choose to accessorize with should compliment the dress and not take away from it.

So have fun with finding the perfect bag! Believe me, you will be glad you opted for it after the wedding ceremony!
