BLACK DETAILING<br />
BACK TO BLACK…<br />
Wedding dresses with black detailing have<br />
arrived and they’re here to stay. <strong>This</strong> style is<br />
perfect for the bride that wants to cause a stir<br />
without straying too far from the traditional<br />
style of gown. Black and white is a colour<br />
combination that hasn’t failed us yet, so<br />
we’re confident in its ability to serve up equal<br />
measures of classic style and daring.<br />
On the more dramatic end of the spectrum,<br />
some bridal boutiques have delivered headturning<br />
options by experimenting with colour<br />
blocking. But if a look this bold isn’t quite up<br />
your street, a plethora of wedding designers<br />
have incorporated hints of black with lacing<br />
and trimming. Strategically placed black details<br />
can prove to be extremely flattering. Detailed<br />
side panels in muted black or just a simple belt<br />
can pull all focus into the wearer’s waist.<br />
When it comes to this particular wedding<br />
dress trend, there really is no grey area, it’s<br />
bound to cause a storm.<br />

SHORT DRESSES<br />
A LONG TIME COMING…<br />
For too long, short dresses have lived in<br />
the shadows of lengthier alternatives, but<br />
designers are now making cropped options<br />
very hard to ignore.<br />
A shorter gown definitely makes for a<br />
smooth transition between the ceremony<br />
and the reception, so if you intend to swing<br />
around the dancefloor until the small hours,<br />
free from the fear of tripping over lengthy<br />
trains, a short wedding dress could be just the<br />
one for you.<br />
Short dresses are totally ideal for summer<br />
weddings, leaving an ample distance between<br />
the hem of your gorgeous new dress and the<br />
golden white sands. Not to mention that<br />
realistically, you’ve been breaking in that<br />
show-stopping pair of shoes for weeks, and it<br />
would be rude not to show them off.<br />
Still more than capable of packing a punch,<br />
with embellishments and details reaching new<br />
heights, this is one wedding dress trend that’s<br />
nothing short of perfect.<br />
