Every New Year marks the beginning of updated style. The New Year also presents some of us a with a new engagement. Why else would you be visiting the websites, reading this blog, viewing classy, inspiring gowns? Perhaps you are getting ideas for your extravagant event happening in a couple months or even, what a bride told me the other day, happening December 12th, 2012. Whatever the love case may be, why don't we hone in on what is important for the moment--the trends of the New Year.
Here's an interesting story that paints the picture of how the famous designers might come up with their new ideas of Wedding Fashions. Let's call this piece, "Classy Convenience."
' Take yourself back to the 1950's. Genevieve Couture just said yes to the most beautiful stark white gown she could ever imagine. This particular gown is strapless, slim fitting to just above the knee then gracefully explodes into an elegant fish-tail. This gown is everything Genevieve dreamed of. After making the final arrangements, Genevieve with the help of Grandma Terani, two sisters, and best friend, make their way to Imagine's headquarters, her place of work. You see, Genevieve lives in a very small apartment--the complex with everything else except space; therefore, she does not have enough room to fit her new treasure. So, she brings the gown to her large office at Imagine. 14 stories in a stuffy elevator later, the group of girls make their way to Genevieve's office and lay out the gown for one last look before grandma and the two sisters have to leave on a flight. Genevieve and her family gaze at the beautiful bead-work done in little feather-like spirals, like crystal waves being washed up on a silk beach. The phone rings, startling the clan and Genevieve races up to answer it. The forgotten purse attached to her shoulder absent-mindedly popped off onto the desk, knocking over the small collection of black ink containers splashing most of the ink onto the already panicked gown. Genevieve stops dead in her tracks and turns a blank sheet of white after seeing the damaged gown. Her two sisters and best friend let out a small shriek and nervously look over to Genevieve and Grandma Terani.
Grandma looks at the tragic incident, and laughs hysterically,
"Damn it Genevieve, why didn't you just go with one of my designs in the first place?"
Genevieve calmly sobs out, "I just wanted to make my own choices for once."
Grandma Terani gets out her handkerchief, bluntly removes the ink containers, snatches the dress and silently observes. At this time, the fours girls are sitting down on the vintage couch huddled together watching the floor.
Finally after three minutes of observing, Grandma Terani exclaims, "I have an idea, Genevieve. I'm going to design you a gown exactly like this one, but with a style that resembles your clumsiness." Her last words ended with a blunt chuckle, then she says to herself, "I've never thought of adding black to a gown before. A beautiful idea though..."'
Among the many online articles, current bridal journals, and even, one of the most well-known celebrity magazines I found on the grungy table at the shop where my car was getting a new flex pipe, the three most popular anticipated wedding trends for brides in 2011 are the color black, butterflies, and an change out dress.
Terani Couture released a gown in their Spring 2011 line. It is the P295 gown much like the one Genevieve purchased, but tragically ruined with her magical clumsiness.
Apart from the black trend, brides are opting to have a change out gown. Brides everywhere... who wouldn't want to have two gowns to wear on your special day? One from the moment you walk down the aisle, and the other right before you hit the dance floor! Below is an example of another Terani Couture gown made to party.
