2013 Bridal Gown Trend: Cap Sleeves

Sleeves are back for 2013!!   I am excited to say that designers are making gowns with sleeves this year.  Some brides are choosing a gown with sleeves for a little modesty while others are wanting a dress that is unique in style and simply put, not strapless.  A great compromise between a long sleeved wedding gown and a strapless dress are cap sleeves.  This makes the perfect blend of modesty and uniqueness.

Lace wedding gowns are still on trend for 2013 including lace gowns with cap sleeves.

Many of the lace gowns on the runways this year have a high neckline and cap sleeves.  Such a classic and beautiful design.

A new twist on the cap sleeve is how embellished the sleeves are.  They almost resemble jewelry for your shoulders!

You can also choose a sheer cap sleeve gown for a soft, romantic look. Perfect for brides that love the look of a strapless gown but want something a little more unique!

Wedding Trend 2013: Gold Wedding Dresses!

If you want a wedding dress that stands out from the crowd, you may want to consider a colored wedding dress.  Wedding dress designers are creating gowns in all different colors from deep red to muted blush tones.   The new hot color for 2013 is gold!!  Gold is a huge color in fashion right now and is showing up on bridal runways everywhere.

Depending on how bold you want to be on your wedding day will reflect in the shade and amount of gold on your gown.  If you want a subtle touch of gold you can choose to add a gold sash.

Or choose a dress in a soft shade of gold. This gives a similar look to an ivory gown with a little more shine and richness.

Choosing a classic silhouette, like the ball gown below, in a gold color mixes the traditional silhouette with the modern color palette.

If you are a modern bride, then why not reflect that with a gold dress that pulls out all the punches.  These dresses use crystal embellishments to add even more sparkle to the gold wedding gowns.

You can even choose a gown with gold sequins to be completely unique. I truly love this idea for the right wedding…think New Years wedding!?!
