What to Wear Wednesday - Navy Blue & Orange

Good evening everyone and welcome back for another What to Wear Wednesday.
This week we're looking at a Navy Blue and Orange colour palette. This is a bold colour combination but the colours are classically complimentary and is beautiful for a fall wedding. Let's take a look at some inspiring fashions.

Wedding Dresses:

It's fall! So, that means it's time to put those summery strapless back on the racks. I know, I know, strapless is classic but trust me on this. Back away from the strapless dresses, take a deep breath and let's explore some fall appropriate dresses. Bateau, halter, scoop ... oh my!

Bridesmaids:

For your bridesmaids you can go with either colour for their dresses. Navy blue is beautiful and universally flattering and for the time of year oranges are warm and rich. However, it is a good thing to keep in mind that it is easier to come by orange flowers than navy flowers. So, if you're looking for a strong contrast with dresses and bouquets, orange flowers and blue dresses will make the strongest impact.

Here's a great fall trend for bridesmaids: sheer high necked and one-shouldered dresses.

DESIGNER CRUSH ALERT! Okay, so it's no secret that I LOVE Jim Hjelm, but I have yet to find another designer who can pull off beautiful dresses in orange the way that he can. Take a look and you can clearly see why this designer excites me so much!

What to Wear - Green & Orange

Hello everyone and welcome to a (late) What to Wear Wednesday!

This week is all about a fall inspired Green and Orange palette. Let's take a look at some fashionable inspirations!

Wedding Dresses:

For your wedding dress, I really think that you can go with either a white or an off-white colour since they both will look equally as nice with this colour palette. Also, if you are going with a brighter green and orange palette, you might want to try to find some accents that are more fun like a big bow or some applique flowers.

Bridesmaid Dresses:

For your girls' dresses, you can go with either of the two colours. You could even mix the two! A good thing to remember however is that orange is a colour that isn't necessarily flattering for every complexion. Another thing to keep in mind is the time of year of your wedding. Fall can be a tricky time because depending on the year it could be warm or it could be cool. Full length dresses are a good way to combat the cold, but you may be more inclined toward shorter length dress. If this is the case, you could always have your girls wear cute boleros or cardigans or even some beautifully patterned pashminas.

What to Wear Wednesday - Chocolate Mint

Good evening everyone and welcome back for a delicious What to Wear Wednesday!

Since this week is all about a Chocolate Mint colour palette, can you guess what colours we'll be looking at today? I personally like this colour combination for fall and winter. However, it is doable for any season so just remember that when you are dress shopping that the time of year will play a part in the length and necklines of your fashions.

Let's take a look at some inspiring fashions!

Wedding Dresses:

When it comes to the colour of your dress for this theme, I truly feel that you could go with either a white or an off-white. Both will look exceptional. In terms of length and neck-line that is ultimately up to you and what is in season at the time of your wedding.

Bridesmaid Dresses:

Putting your girls in a rich chocolate brown colour is classic and since brown is a neutral colour it looks flattering and beautiful on almost everyone. However, don't underestimate bridesmaid dresses in a flirty shade of green, you just might be surprised.

What to Wear Wednesday - Purple & White

Hi everyone and welcome back for What to Wear Wednesday!

Obviously for a purple and white coloured wedding the colours for your fashions need to stick to that colour palette.

Let's take a look at some great inspiring fashions.

Enjoy!

Wedding Dresses:

For your wedding dress you definitely need to stick to white simply because if you use white for your linens/decorations/flowers and then choose an off-white dress, it would look dirty by comparison. If your feel that white is very overwhelming for you, why not try a coloured sash or detail in a shade of purple?

Bridesmaid Dresses:

For your bridesmaids' dresses, I definitely think that purple is the way to go. If everyone in your party is wearing white like yourself, then it is going to take away from the beauty of your gown! There are lots of shade options for purple. You could go with darker shades like aubergine and eggplant or you can go with lighter shades like lilac or lavender.
