From Runway to “I Do”: Timeless vs. Trendy at La Mariée
Remember all the gorgeous New York Bridal Fashion Week trends from last month? We're still swooning over the texture, color, lace and oh-so-sparkly embellishments! But with all the new bridal trends, it's easy to get caught in a whirlwind of "what's hot" and forget about what truly matters: finding a dress that makes you feel radiant and undeniably YOU on your wedding day.
Here's our take on some of the hottest trends from NYBFW, and how to make them look stunning not just today, but for years to come!
Timeless Treasures:
Vintage Influence: Calling all Audrey Hepburns and Grace Kellys of the modern era! The vintage influence isn't a passing fad; it's a love letter to classic elegance. Think delicate lace, soft silhouettes, and pearls galore. These gowns are the perfect canvas for creating timeless memories that will never go out of style.
Quality Fabrics: A dress this special deserves the best. Look for gowns crafted from luxurious fabrics like silk, satin, mikado, and French lace. These materials not only feel incredible but will photograph beautifully, ensuring your wedding album remains a masterpiece for generations to come.
Flattering Fit: A well-fitted gown is the ultimate confidence booster. It doesn't matter if it's a mermaid style that hugs your curves or a flowing A-line that creates a graceful silhouette. When the dress fits you like a dream, it will stand the test of time!
Navigating Trends:
While trends come and go, there are ways to incorporate them into your bridal look without compromising timeless elegance!
Dramatic Details: Statement sleeves, bold waistlines, and audacious trains are fun ways to add a touch of personality to your look. Just remember, a little drama goes a long way!
To make these fun details more timeless, consider pairing them with classic elements like a simple silhouette or a neutral color palette. At La Mariée, we'll offer gowns with subtle, yet impactful details, such as delicate lace accents or a touch of sparkle.
Speaking of dramatic details, the trend of 2025: The Basque Waist!
The Basque waist is where the waistline goes down into a v shape past the hips. The v-shape is lower than a traditional waistline and gives the illusion of a longer torso while accentuating the hips. This trend, popularized in the 1800s during the Victorian era, adds a touch of romantic drama to any bridal gown. These fun trends always have a way of coming back!
Bold Colors: While a pop of color can be a fun statement, it's important to choose a shade that complements your skin tone and wedding theme.
Consider softer tones like blush or champagne for a more timeless look. At La Mariée, we'll offer a range of color options, from traditional whites to modern pastels.
Daring Texture: From shimmering sequins to intricate beadwork, textured fabrics add a touch of luxury and visual interest to your gown. However, like dramatic details, keep it balanced. You don't want your dress to resemble a disco ball (unless that's your vibe, in which case, rock on!).
Consider using these elements sparingly and focusing on high-quality fabrics like silk, satin, and chiffon. At La Mariée, we'll curate a collection that showcases the beauty of texture, while maintaining a timeless aesthetic.
