Currently women are willing to look stylish and trendy not
only in their everyday life but at the wedding part either. They long for the color
wedding dress that should create a commotion immediately a bride appears in the
public, color wedding gowns have replaced snow-white classic wedding ensembles
for the last decade. The traditional monochrome image is likely to turn into
the rare ensemble in several seasons, as it seems now when the designers prefer
the vivid embroidery and new color shades, pastel pink, yellow or green colors
to the white dresses.
The pacifying shades of green, violet and lilac colors were
widely used in collections of reputed designers in the previous 2009. The new wedding
season Spring-Summer 2010 the colors are more flamboyant and contrasting, from
the bright red, orange and pink wedding gowns to extremely black dresses which
considered to be the color suitable for any occasions but the wedding.
The popular designers seem to boast when using black color
in wedding ensembles and launch more collections with wedding dresses with
accessories or contrasting back color embroidery and patterns. The designer Vera
Wang launched the collection with wedding gowns where apart from the classic
white dresses she highlighted the gown of more unique and drastic colors. One
of her dresses distinguishes with the tender lemon-green shade while the other
perfectly matches the affectionate pink color of the lower skirt with the
fluffy skirt of pale green color. A line of Vera Wang dresses is made from fabric
of warm off-white and peach colors, and one of the dresses is presented in the
drastic black color embroidered with the satin bands and ribbons of the same
dark color.
The other American designer, Carolina Herrera, also includes
some elements of black color in her collection, though in less harsh manner.
The wedding ensembles from Herrera are of traditional white color, though they
are decorated with contrasting embroidery and flowery patterns to highlight the
contrast of colors. On the top of it, as the auxiliary accessory for the bride,
the American designer offers tiny boleros made from the half-sheer black lace
or tulle.
The other trendy and contrasting mix is the combination o f
the classic white gown with the blood-red accessories apart from the match of
white and black. When the bright red wedding dress is thought to be very loud and
provocative for the wedding party, the wedding gowns that match these two
colors are good to consider. Yet, the dresses of white and red colors are
suitable for wedding in spring and summer periods, still making the bride
romantic and tender. The dresses like this are offered by the wedding brand Alfred
Angelo with models when the classic white upper skirt goes perfectly with the
dark-red lower skirts and red inclusions.
One of the popular wedding colors is the pink color, which
is not vulgar or provocative at all. When the pink is expressed in tender and
light fabric as silk, tulle and organza when the light-pink creates the image
of the princess. Loving pink wedding gowns with classic puffy skirt and dropping
down folds from organza and luxury silk is offered by the fashion brand Marchesa
in the latest collection. The well-known brand Reem Acra included several
ensembles of the tender light-blue shade with the golden embroidery on the hem
successfully presented in his latest collection, while Oscar de la Renta created several color
accessories to compliment the wedding ensembles like gloves and hats.
On the top of it, the new Spring-Summer collections of the famous
designers show the vivid tropic colors, that is orange, yellow and motton blue.
For the summer wedding ensemble and for less official functions such shades may
appear fairly suitable, when the warm colors go practically with every complexion
and the more vivid is the color, the more unique is the style and taste and
challenges to go beyond any traditions. However, the unnecessary brightness of
the color for wedding dresses is effectively smoothed over with the moderate
tailoring.
As a rule, the flamboyant color is the key decoration of the
wedding ensemble and there is no need in additional accessories like puffy
skirts, decorative ribbons and bands and various embroidery. However, Vera Wong
in her Spring-Summer collection of wedding gowns managed to compliment the
brightness of the color and splendor of the ensemble. The wedding gowns of
intensive green and lemon-yellow shades were expressive with the classic match
of the plain top and puffy skirt made from plenty of half-sheer tulle.
Lingerie for women was just the plain underwear until the 20th century when it became the mean self-expression, as the subject of esthetic admiration. A piece of lingerie seen in between the women wear looked quite shocking to be shame and no one thought of designing luxury items based on lingerie, leaving alone works of art. Today every woman dreams of having a pair, or even more, of luxury and high quality lingerie to associate with sexuality, sensibility and attraction with male.

yarn as merino wool, angora, alpaca, Kashmir. Globally known brands launch knit
coats for women in their latest collections and most celebrities today appear
wearing knitwear for many occasions and that's hard to picture that some time
back it was something different.
