Onyx & Pearl with Bride Mag

runway to the aisle!

One of our favorite recent trends that we’re seeing on runways is tons of black and white! Or if you are a fancy lady, you might call is onyx and pearl. Either way, this look will start to make its way into more weddings, which we love. We always admire brides who look to fashion as the jumping off point for the wedding look! To go with the inspiration board below, be sure to check out one of our newest discoveries, Bride Mag out of Australia.

Their collection of wedding gowns and fashion is a perfect resource for those of you gals on the hunt for a fab dress! What we love is that they have SUCH a huge collection of gowns to browse through. When I was on a hunt for a dress for my own wedding, researching the right look was one of the hardest parts! I knew I wanted to narrow down favorites before shopping, because that makes the process so much easier—especially if you have a particular look in mind.

Some of our fave galleries include dress categories for sheath wedding dresses, romantic bridal gowns, peplum style, and lace dresses. In addition to bridal gowns, there’s tons of ideas for bridesmaids and groomsmen! Outside of fashion, Bride Mag also has an amazing collection of hair and make up galleries—like ideas for vintage makeup and summer bridal looks. You can also browse round ups of accessories and even tips on how to choose the right wedding shoes. So much good stuff, right?

We are absolutely obsessed with Bride Mag’s HUGE library of gorg gowns, beauty tips, and inspiration, so get over there and start your hunting.

Alfred Angelo’s New Collection

romantic neutrals for the bride and her maids!

Engagement season is around the corner and many of you ladies will be donning some sparkle on your finger soon! While you start wedding planning, the first thing to figure out is always the gown!

As the new fall lines are starting to roll out from our fave bridal designers, and we were excited to see Alfred Angelo’s take on color! Their new dresses feature a range of shades from soft metallics to blush. We love the idea of bridesmaids in soft, romantic neutrals like their pink and grey hues (bonus–they look great on every skin tone and compliment a variety of wedding colors!). The bridal gowns in ivory take on a subtle golden radiance.

Check out the designs above: style 7289 and style 8527.

These gorgeous neutrals would pair well with any color of bouquet and we’re obsessed with the romance of it all! But, what’s even better than photos, is a runway show! Are you ready to see these beauties in action?
