Gold Themed Holiday Weddings for Bridal Parties

Winter of 2012 has seen a gold theme this year. Unlike last years metallic flavors, this year is a warm yellow gold. January weddings usually still have the holiday theme spill over, as people have spent the past six months getting ready for the party and the holiday colors have been in their face since just after Halloween.
This year the Winter themed weddings look like they are in an optimistic anticipation for the warm weather days. All the traditional colors are full of a warm feeling and healthy floral designs are in full bloom.

Gold and Yellow will be every where this January and February.



Satins will be the fabric of choice for children as usual due to its sturdy integrity. Gold flower girl dresses will have a soft white mixed and flower scrawling through the trim or entire dress.
Long gowns for flower girls are typical during the cold weather months. So, expect the traditional a-line.



Accessories should be matched with ivory tones. Shoes, Stockings, fur shrugs, and hair pieces should all be ivory. Stay clear of dressing children in gold accessories or jewelry. A touch too much in the gold family can quickly look gaudy and like a game of dress up in grandmas attic trunk. If you want the little ones in jewelry, try pearls and flowers.

Communion Dresses

One of our busiest times of the year starts in April when customers start browsing for their communion dresses. We do notice different trends in styles depending on what part of the country your church is located. In the west dresses are usually selected as 2 piece dresses with a removable jacket for warm weather events. Communion dresses are selected with soft breathable materials such as chiffon and beautiful crystal organza. In the North East we see styles in the old traditional Irish and Italian gowns that often look like full miniature brides. Heavy wedding quality matte satins are selected as March, April, and May are usually still chilly.



Dresses range from very simple to very lavish. A simple dress can come together nicely with the proper accessories. A satin pocket book, communion veil and pair of white gloves will make any plain white dress into a dainty formal occasion dress.
Don't over look the possibility of using her communion dress for multiple purposes.
By selecting a dress with a removable sash you can always accessorize a different color sash later for her piano recital, or a christmas party.
