Bridesmaid Dresses Auckland

We have an exciting time coming up here at Golden Gowns, although the ball season is almost over, we are still full on with many other projects. As well as getting some gorgeous pageant gowns ready for the 25 Miss Universe New Zealand finalists and bringing in some fresh new accessories (shoes, clutches, Sawitree jewellery) we have also noted that the tail end of winter means wedding season is rapidly approaching. With that in mind we have starting sourcing and collecting an array of beautiful bridesmaid dresses and wedding gowns suitable for a wide range of shapes and sizes. Let us tell you about our trend predictions for the 2014/2015 wedding season based on our clients comments and requests and also a little bit of our inside knowledge.

Vintage with a modern twist – We have been inundated with brides-to-be asking us for everything vintage, from 1920’s flapper glam styles to 1950’s full ball gown skirts with cinched in waists. It sounds to us like retro fashion is here to stay when it comes to donning that important dress for your big day. We definitely know why too, lace and the timeless elegance of vintage styles conjure up romantic feelings and your wedding photos will look forever beautiful, even in many years to come.

Colour – Gone are the days where a big white wedding dress are expected. Now, many brides are opting for a coloured dress, whether it be soft pastel shades or strong, striking jewels tones such as ruby red or emerald green. The choices are endless, but remember to stick to colour palettes you already know work with your skin tone, hair colour etc. Stand out in amazing dress in your favorite colour and eliminate the damage that could be done by a glass of wine spilling on a pristine diamond white dress.

Soft and Simple – The last major bridal trend we have been noticing is that many women prefer a simple, chic design in light-weight floaty fabric. Empire lines with a small amount of detail under the bust (or without, if you are that way inclined) are gaining in popularity due to their ability to hide common ‘problem’ areas and also fit in with a range of Summer wedding venues to give that earthy, beachy feel. Perfect for a casual wedding and not so stiff and heavy, chiffon is usually the fabric of choice.

So, now that you have a bit of in-sight on this season’s hottest looks, come and see the team here at Golden Gown and we will sort the rest.
