    Glorious gold jewellery for your wedding day

    No Comments

    Gold is making a comeback. For years, the Western tradition was to wear gold jewellery as it was the most expensive and seen as classic, timeless and mature.

    Then, silver took over the scene and became popular as a more affordable yet equally beautiful alternative. Everybody wore silver and saw gold as old-fashioned.

    A few years later, rose gold was all the rage. Called the “rosé wine” of the jewellery industry, this metal is a blend of gold and silver resulting in a delicate pinkish-gold.

    It seems we have come full circle, as gold is shining brightly once again. Of course, be guided by your own taste and style, but if you go for gold, you can’t go wrong. Here are some of our favourite pieces to derive inspiration from:

    Stunning clutch bags for your wedding day

    No Comments

    You might want to add a handbag to your wedding attire. However, a large sling bag is not exactly ideal for an elegant and formal look.

    We recommend getting a small clutch to keep your make-up and tissues handy. Either go with the colour of your dress or a matching shade, or go with the colour of your decor to fit in with the theme.

    You could also just abandon all tradition, and a pick any colour simply because you love it! There are endless styles, textures and design variations to choose from. Take a look at these stylish clutch bags to take inspiration from.

    Simple yet elegant dresses guaranteed to wow a crowd

    No Comments

    Many believe a wedding dress is the most important outfit one can ever wear. It’s the attire you choose to make an eternal promise to your love, so you’ll want to look your best.

    With such weight and importance attached to an outfit, it’s easy to see why people opt to go big and bold for their special day. While lace, beading and applique detail are popular finishes to make a splash, it’s not necessary and can often times be quite costly. Sometimes, the most simple design is the most effective.

    For those not into dramatic detail or for the budget conscious, there are many ways to still stun in a simple gown. The focus should be on the cut and fabric of the dress to make it appear more luxurious. An off-the-shoulder gown oozes sophistication, while small stylistic choices like adding a cape or twist detailing on your waist easily elevates a look.

    If you’re in need of some inspiration, you’re in luck. Here are a few of our gowns sans-lace that are anything but boring:

    Make a splash with mismatched groomsmen

    No Comments

    In recent years, it’s been quite trendy for bridesmaids to have their own unique looks, whether it be with various dress cuts or different gowns entirely. Why should they have all the fun?

    The mismatched groomsmen trend is slowly picking up, and we are here for it. There is no rule that your groomsmen have to match. Let your groomsmen flaunt their fashions with some unique styles.

    This option is also great for those who already have good-fitting suits, as they don’t need purchase a new one for the big day. This saves them some coin and adds the comfort of knowing you look good in the suit already.

    Your best guys can mismatch in many ways. Go with different shades of a specific colour, personalised neckwear of even a variety of bold patterns.

    Now trending: All-white groom’s fashion

    No Comments

    When it comes to wedding fashion, grooms are often forgotten about. It’s easy to slip on a simple black suit and call it a day.

    However, stylish grooms deserve better. Those not afraid to make a statement, should go bold with a crisp, white suit. This can be risky business and will require some expert styling.

    A white suit works for almost all seasons. It complements a winter wedding, and adds a lighter feel to go along with a summer soiree. What’s great about a white suit is that it looks great in any style, from a classic tuxedo to an edgy double-breast.

    When opting for a white suit, it is crucial to match your whites. Wearing an ebony jacket and pearl-hued trousers will emphasise the different shades and look off.

    The easiest way to ensure your whites match is to have your suit professionally made in the same fabric or rent a full suit that has been made from one fabric.

    Finish this look off by carefully considering your accessories. A brown shoe adds a stark difference and a bit of richness, while a black shoe is eternally classic.

    Grooms can go fully monochromatic with a matching white shirt, or break up the look with a coloured shirt. We advise a light-coloured shirt like a soft blue, pale pink or even a subtle pattern to keep up the airy look. Just avoid stripes, you don’t want to end up looking like a sailor!

    Since this look is quite bold already, its best to be simple and keep accessories to a minimum. All you need is some good neckwear and a watch to finish off this look.

    Princess Beatrice’s wedding dress to go on display

    No Comments

    Eager fans of the British monarchy may now witness another famed Royal wedding dress up close. Princess Beatrice’s vintage wedding gown will go on display at Windsor Castle later this month.

    The exhibition will be available to the public from September 24 through November 22. Both the dress and a silk replica of Princess Beatrice’s flowers will be included in the exhibition.

    Almost two months after their planned wedding date, Princess Beatrice and entrepreneur Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi tied the knot in a small, private ceremony at Windsor on Friday, July 17 at the Royal Chapel of All Saints. They had their closest family members in attendance, including her Majesty the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, and the Duke and Duchess of York.

    For her big day, the Princess wore a stunning vintage dress by Norman Hartnell and accessorised with the Queen Mary diamond fringe tiara, both belonging to Her Majesty the Queen. The tiara was worn by Queen Elizabeth on her wedding day in 1947.

    She carried a bouquet of trailing jasmine, pale pink and cream sweet peas, royal porcelain ivory spray roses, pink o’hara garden roses, pink wax flower and baby pink astible. Of course, she had a sprig of myrtle in it as well to continue royal tradition.

    The wedding dress had been slightly altered and modernised for the big day.

    “The full-skirted silhouette was softened to give a more contemporary, simplified shape, and the underskirt and petticoats were recreated and bound with silk tulle. Short sleeves of triple organza were added to the straps and embroidered with vintage diamantés to match the original Hartnell embroidery design,” reads a statement about the new exhibition.

    It’s nearly spring time and that means flowers! If you love the soft and feminine look, floral headpieces are the way to go. Wear a flower crown, clip-in piece or simply fasten some loose flowers in your hairdo.

    Remember to use seasonal flowers, and ask your stylist about which flowers will stay fresh and perky for longer. They will add a romantic touch to any look, depending on your style.

    Here are some different looks to try:

    A toast to champagne wedding gowns

    No Comments

    The white wedding has earned its place in the traditional Western society, but in recent years, more and more couples have deviated from tradition. Sometimes, you just want something a little different. Not a lot different, just a little.

    The champagne-coloured wedding dress does that effortlessly. You don’t have to go all out with bright and bold colours if that’s not your style. You can easily just veer a little off path and opt for the colour that will make you look and feel as sophisticated (yet fun) as a glass of bubbly.

    Here are our favourites to gather some inspiration from.

    Emily Ratajkowski: The queen of suits

    No Comments

    Love her or hate her, Emily Ratajkowski has style. Her chic, seemingly effortless silhouette was echoed on her wedding day in 2018.

    True to herself, Ratajkowski wed her man, Sebastian Bear-McClard, in a simple courthouse ceremony. Rather than splashing on luxury, the bride wore Zara (maybe not the most ethical choice). Nevertheless, her $250 mustard yellow suit stole the show.

    She took to social media to announce her nuptials. According to Vogue, Ratajkowski wrote “got married today” in an Instagram story. Her and Bear-McClard had only been dating for a few weeks but have known each other for years.
