Wedding gowns come in endless variations. We especially love open-back designs for its classy, sultry look. If you like this style, try on a few different ones to see how it looks on you, what portion of your back you want to be exposed, and how much skin you want to show.
Remember that different dress styles fit different body shapes in different ways, so talk to your designer or stylist about what flatters you most.

When we think of 80s fashion, cheesy is one word that comes to mind. The popular style of the decade involved tons of primary colour, oversized shapes and lots of lace.
While some may not look fondly on the fashion of the time, fusing retro style elements into modern style is very on trend right now. Popular style icons are influenced by iconic trends from the 80s, 90s and early 2000s, and these can be seen from the catwalk to the streets, as well as bridal styles.
Typical 80s trends like puffed sleeves, full skirts, lace detailing and sparkling applique dominated the day. Here are a few ways to incorporate the 80s into your wedding dress in a modern way.

Pop sensation Joe Jonas and Game of Thrones actress Sophie Turner are celebrating the first anniversary of their church wedding in France. The pair have been quiet about…
Another celebrity couple has reached an exciting milestone in their relationship. Actors Zoë Kravitz and Karl Glusman celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary yesterday, June 29.
Kravitz took to Instagram to honour their big day, simply captioning the image ‘one year.’

Glusman had a bit more to say, writing “One year. Not the year we expected… but I feel like if we can make it through this, we can take on anything. I love you. More than anything. You’re my best friend… you crack me up and you melt my heart… you call me out on my bullshit and you challenge me to grow… I love you for that. And I’ll do anything and everything for you until the day I die. Now let’s go save the world @zoeisabellakravitz”

Kravitz and Glusman said ‘I do’ in Parison June 29, 2019. Zoe’s father, Lenny Kravitz’s 18th-century mansion acted as their wedding venue.
For their big day, Kravitz opted for an ankle-length scoop neck dress with a drop waist and full skirt. Instead of heels, she wore ballet flats. Her hair was elegantly pulled back into a low bun and she accessorised with a headband. Glusman went classic with a simple black and white tux.

It would be easy to imagine that wedding dresses have been glamorous and varying shades of white since their inception. However, they have actually changed a lot over…
Peridot may be an unusual and largely unknown stone for an engagement ring, but that’s exactly what makes it so special. Modern brides wanting to be different should opt for this unique and incredibly rare green stone that is truly otherworldly.

Peridot is a remarkable stone found in lava, meteorites, and deep in the earth’s mantle. Most of it is formed deep inside the earth when the seafloor spreads and splits the earth’s crust. Rocks from its mantle are then pushed to the surface of the earth. The gem also often occurs in volcanic rocks called basalts.
This unique stone is truly out of this world. According to the Gemological Institute of America, a rare version of peridot was found in pallasite meteorites, remnants of our solar system’s birth. In 1749 a meteorite containing peridot crystals was found on a desolate hilltop in Siberia, and it is believed to have fallen to the earth’s surface some 14.8 million years ago.
In 2005, peridot was found in comet dust brought back from the Stardust robotic space probe.
Some scientists even believe large portions of the moon are made of these crystals.

It’s name is derived from the French word ‘peritôt’ meaning ‘unclear’, as a result of the stone’s numerous imperfections and internal fractures. The word also comes from the Arabic ‘faridat’, meaning ‘gem’.
While typically yellow-green in hue, the stone can range in colour from brown-green to pure green.

Early historical texts suggest it was first mined in an island of the Red Sea called Topazios, now called St. John’s Island or Zabargad.
This stunning stone was much loved by the Egyptians, who called it ‘the gem of the sun’. Some wore it as a form of protection to ward off evil spirits.

Peridot is the birthstone of August babies and also symbolic of 16 years of marriage. It is considered the stone of compassion and believed to bring good health, peace, and balance to relationships.
It ranks a 6 and a half to 7 on the Mohs scale of Hardness, meaning it is durable enough for everyday wear. However, it is sensitive to heat, acids, ammonia, and hot water so wearers must be cautious.
