BE BOLD WITH YOUR DRESS! Celeb’s with a splash of PINK!

Saying YES to the DRESS!” Is one of the biggest things for a bride to be. The dress is the centre of attention for most brides. It can be difficult choosing the style that best fits your body. But these celebrities are BOLD enough to step outside of the box and chose a coloured dress. Are you bold enough to think pink? Can you stand out from the traditional bride, that normally wears a white dress? Traditionally, the white dress was thought to symbolize the brides virginity. In this modern world, some brides may not fit into that ‘traditional’ mould and conform to the past societies ideologies of what a traditional bride embodies.

Wedluxe Wedding Show 2013 (Part 2)

This post will focus on the Wedluxe wedding show inspirational decor trends & amazing wedding cakes!

I was able to scope out the wedding decor trends of the show. They included large cohesive floral arrangements. The colour palette’s ranged from soft and pastel tones to bright and loud colours. Romantic looks where achieved with candle light. Glamour was presented to brides with ample amount of glitz and glam from sparkly decor. Another trend was lace and tule trim on the tablecloths. Some designers used mother nature as inspiration and included environmental aspects within their designs such as moss, wood, leaves.

Here are some of the amazingly talented vendors with their floral designs & Wedding decor:

This section will discuss the yummy CAKES, CAKES, CAKES!
All the wedding cakes were very desirable to the eyes and my tummy. The trends spotted in the pastry section were intricate designs on the cakes. I noticed cakes with hand painted artistry. In addition, gold accents were common amongst the tendency of some of the baked art pieces. Sugar hand made floral accents were also a typical decorative piece to the cakes. The hottest trends in weddings are macaroon towers, cupcakes, and meringue on sweet tables.

The Cake Museum had such artistic & creative work. I loved the unique cakes, especially the “edible blood” expelling from the red velvet cake. I love that Ida, owner of The Cake Museum, was able to step “outside of the box” of typical wedding cakes and reflect a more specialized style. This gothic theme shows the “darker side of love” inspired by the Twilight series, the late Alexander McQueen, and Walking Dead series.
