I took a trip to bridal market in NYC this past weekend and had such an amazing time! I just love getting face time with some of my favorite designers (wish I could have seen everyone!) and chatting with them about what’s to come in the exciting world of bridal gowns/bridesmaids’ dresses. I saw two huge trends there that I just had to come home and immediately share with my Flair friends.
1. Fabulous faille: I’m sure most of you are scratching your heads right about now. What the heck is faille, you ask? Well, it’s a gorgeous fabric that one of our fav designers, Coren Moore, has just started working with again. It’s a really rich looking fabric, with a gorgeous sheen. It photographs beautifully and is a super reasonable price point.
Plus, it comes in these crazy beautiful colors, there’s really something for everyone! Flair has ordered a faille dress for the store and we can’t wait to start sharing it with you. It might just be the next big thing in fabrics!
2. Party dresses
When it comes time to choose a bridal gown, every girl gets a little Cinderella in her. It is so hard to resist those gorgeous ballgowns! After all, when else are you going to be able to justify wearing something that elaborate?
When it comes time to boogie down at the reception though, you may not appreciate that no one can shimmy too near to you because of that huge, albeit gorgeous, skirt. If you consult your inner diva I’m sure she will tell you: get two dresses girl! You can get that fantasy ballgown for the ceremony and the first part of the reception, but as the night goes on you do a quick costume change into a cute little number designed for dancing the night away. You’ll blow your audience/guests away!
We can’t wait for fall market when we can get you more insider tips. For now though, come and see us in the store and we’ll impart more wisdom in person.
See you soon beautiful brides and bridesmaids!
Lindsay 🙂
