In this article: Choosing the Perfect Emerald Green Evening Dress Choosing the Perfect Emerald Green Evening Dress First things first, let's talk about finding the one. You know, that dress that makes you feel like you could conquer the world (or at least the dance floor). Here's what to keep in mind when choosing the gown: 1. Know your greens: There's a whole world of emeralds out there! From deep forest vibes to bright jewel tones, find the shade that makes your skin glow. Cooler skin tones often look best in blue-based emerald greens; while warmer skin tones, from our experience, can shine better in yellow-based emerald greens. 2. Fabric is everything: Silk for that liquid gold feel, velvet for winter glamour, or chiffon for a floaty summer goddess look. Choose what feels amazing on you! 3. Silhouette central: A-Line Dresses A-line dresses are universally flattering, fitting at the waist and gradually widening towards the hem. They are perfect for creating an elegant and timeless look. Mermaid Dresses Love your curves? Go mermaid. This style accentuates your curves and adds a dramatic touch to your ensemble. Sheath Dresses For a sleek modern vibe, you can't go wrong with a sheath. Sheath dresses are sleek and form-fitting, hugging your body’s natural shape. Pro tip: Don't be afraid to try on styles you wouldn't usually pick. I found my dream dress this way, and it was SO not what I expected to love! What Colours Complement an Emerald Green Dress? Now, let's talk about making that green pop! Here are our ride-or-die colour combos(you can refer to these colours for choosing the coordinated accessories and shoes): 1. Metallic magic: Gold or rose gold is ride-or-die. It warms up the green and would make you feel like you should be sipping champagne on a yacht. Silver? It'll give your look a cool, modern edge that's totally fresh. 2. Neutral but never boring: Black is classic for a reason - it'll let that gorgeous green be the star of the show. White creates a crisp, fresh look that's perfect for summer events. And nude? It's subtle, sophisticated, and lets you shine. 3. Bold and beautiful: Lighter green paired with emerald green will have you feeling like royalty. And navy, purple, pink? They can create an unexpected combo that'll turn heads in the best way possible. Pro tip: When in doubt, go for gold. It's like green's BFF – they always look amazing together! Can I Wear Emerald Green to a Wedding? Yes, emerald green is versatile and can be worn to weddings, galas, and black-tie affairs.

10 Tips on Finding the Perfect Pleated Dress for Weddings

10 Tips on Finding the Perfect Pleated Dress for Weddings

Pleated dresses are having a major moment as wedding guest attire. The feminine flair and fluid movement make them an ideal choice for almost any marriage celebration. But with so many pleated options, how do you find the perfect style? Follow these tips. In this article: 10 Tips on Finding the Perfect Pleated Dress 10 Tips on Finding the Perfect Pleated Dress 1.What's the Dress Code? First thing's first - identify the wedding's dress code. This will point you in the right direction material-wise. Formal or black-tie weddings call for luxe fabrics like satin, taffeta or silk chiffon. Cotton or linen pleats hit the right note for casual outdoor "I dos." 2.Look for Forgiving Pleats The most universally flattering pleated dress styles create a nipped-in effect at the natural waist before flowing out in a flattering A-line or fit-and-flare shape. Pleats placed vertically all-over also offer a wonderful draping effect. 3.Consider a Printed Pleated Dress While solids are always chic, a printed pleated dress adds an extra punch of personality. Just ensure the print matches the wedding vibe - think floral for garden affairs or graphic prints for modern celebrations. 4.Play with Layers Part of what makes pleats so on-trend is how beautifully they blend with other textured pieces. Try a pleated camisole dress peeking out from under a sheer pleated overlay. Or do the reverse with a sleek sheath topped by a pleated duster. 5.You Can Wear the Same Thing Twice! One major perk of selecting a great quality pleated dress is the versatility. Many stylish pleated options are 100% re-wearable for cocktail parties, date nights and other dressed-up occasions after their wedding debut. 6.Mother of the Bride or Groom Proud moms, pleated dresses make an elegant yet relaxed choice for your special day! Just avoid white or ivory hues that could upstage the bride. Rich jewel tones or florals look gorgeous. 7.You Don't Have to Wear a Dress While undeniably chic, pleated dresses aren't your only option. Consider pleated jumpsuits or trousers for a cool, modern alternative as a wedding guest outfit. 8.Pleated Dresses Can Be Great for Curvy Ladies Strategically-placed pleats offer a flattering, smoothing effect for curvier figures. Look for stretchy smocked or gathered waistbands and pair with the proper smoothing shapewear for a seamless drape. 9.Consider the Whole Look When slipping into your pleated dress, think about how all the elements - shoes, bag, jewelry, etc. - coordinate for a cohesive yet modern look. Keep the styling simple to let those pleats shine. 10.If In Doubt, Ask the Bride If you have any uncertainty around dress code, appropriateness or formality, don't hesitate to consult the bride before purchasing your pleated look. She'll appreciate you making an effort! No matter what upcoming weddings you have to attend, a gorgeous pleated dress is sure to make you feel effortlessly chic. With these tips, you can find a style that flatters your figure and fits the nuptial celebration perfectly.

What Dress to Wear to Wedding to Flatter a Tummy?

Sometimes I find that women who already have a gorgeous figure are still looking for dresses to hide their tummy. Children have tummies. But I understand that everyone wants to look perfect for a special occasion and some pregant women may want to draw less attention to their tummies. If you really want to cover your tummy and are having a hard time finding the right dress, here are some tips and dress styles that I hope will be a solution. Best Dress Styles that Flatter a Tummy: Empire Waist Dresses 1. Empire Waist Dresses Why Empire Waist is Flattering Empire waist dresses have a high waistline that usually hits just below the breasts or a little lower. This style is perfect for drawing attention away from the tummy and elongating your figure. Tips for Choosing Empire Waist Dresses An empire waist dress can also be frumpy. To avoid this, it is important to find the right fit. Find a dress that cinches in snugly just below the bust, but not too tight around the midsection. Consider an elastic waist for adjustability. Fabric is also key; opt for chiffon, jersey, or crepe that will drape nicely over you. 2. A-Line Dresses Benefits of the A-Line Silhouette An A-line dress is universally flattering and can help conceal a larger midsection. This silhouette does wonders in balancing out proportions and disguising any tummy concerns. How to Accessorize A-Line Dresses A statement belt can help define your shape, creating a flattering hourglass silhouette. Look for wider belts that cinch in at the smallest part of your waist. You can also draw attention upwards by a statement necklace or embellished collar. This can help shift the focus away from your midsection and highlight your beautiful features. 3. Wrap Dresses The Versatility of Wrap Dresses Wrap or faux-wrap dresses are incredibly versatile and can be adjusted to fit perfectly. The wrap or faux-wrap style creates a natural V-neckline, which is flattering for all body types,sizes and helps to elongate the torso. Best Wrap Dress Styles for Weddings For an upcoming wedding, choose a wrap dress in a luxurious fabric like silk or satin. Long sleeve maxi styles with subtle patterns or solid colours are also great as they provide more coverage and complement most complexion. 4. Peplum Dresses How Peplum Styles Conceal the Tummy Peplum dresses have an extra frill or layer of fabric around the waist, which can effectively minimize the waist and accentuate your hips. The point is to make sure the peplum top begins at the right waist region. Choosing the Right Peplum Dress for Formal Occasions Opt for a peplum dress in a rich color or with delicate lace details for a wedding. Keep the rest of your look simple to let the peplum be the focal point. The design is playful yet elegant in itself. 5. Shift Dresses The Simplicity and Charm of Shift Dresses Shift dresses are straight and loose-fitting, making them ideal for effortless vibe. Their simplicity makes them a versatile choice for various wedding settings. Perfect Shift Dress Materials and Cuts Select shift dresses made from structured fabrics like cotton blends or light wool. These materials hold their shape well and provide a clean, polished look. 6. Dresses with Ruching How Ruching Works Wonders for the Midsection Ruching is a fabric-gathering technique that can camouflage a tummy by creating texture and depth. It distracts the eye and smooths out the silhouette. Picking the Right Amount of Ruching Look for dresses with ruching along the sides or across the midsection. Avoid excessive ruching, which can add bulk instead of slimming. 7. Dresses with Patterns and Prints Utilizing Patterns to Distract and Flatter Patterns can be a great tool for minimizing the appearance of a tummy. Opt for prints that are evenly distributed and not too large. Best Prints for Minimizing the Tummy Area Florals, polka dots, and abstract prints are excellent choices. They create a visually busy look that can help to disguise problem areas. Additional Tips for Hiding the Tummy Shapewear: If you're not opposed to shape wear, try it. Shape wear offers support and smoothness, giving you a sleeker appearance. Clutch Bag: A clutch bag might not be the most practical for everyday use, but it's a lifesaver for special occasions like weddings photo shoots. Plus, strategically holding it can draw attention away from the tummy. Tuck in Your Tailbone: This one's a sneaky trick for photos. Just subtly tuck your tailbone in for a moment, and voila! It can make a noticeable difference in how your midsection looks.

Mother of the Bride Outfits

The Best Mother of the Bride Outfits for Women Over 50

When it comes to weddings, all eyes are not just on the bride and groom; the parents of the couple also play a significant role. For women over 50, finding the perfect dress that balances elegance, style, and comfort is essential. The good news is that there are now more stunning options than ever before when it comes to dresses for the mother of the bride over 50. In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into the world of mother of the bride outfits, focusing on the best options for women over 50. In this article: Why Dress Selection Matters Why Dress Selection Matters The mother of the bride dress holds immense significance as it symbolizes the mother's support and love for her daughter on one of the most important days of her life. It's a chance for the mother to shine and feel beautiful while complementing the overall theme and style of the wedding. Therefore, it's crucial to choose a dress that not only flatters your figure but also aligns with the wedding's aesthetic. Trendy Yet Timeless Gowns Long gowns are always a classic and elegant choice for mothers of the bride over 50. Look for styles and silhouettes that balance trendiness with timeless sophistication. Here are some of our favorites: The Lace Gown: From soft florals to geometric patterns, lace imparts sophistication. Look for a style with 3⁄4 length sleeves or a matching jacket for the most versatility. Lace in deeper jewel tones like navy, emerald or plum is especially stunning. The Chiffon Gown: A flowy chiffon dress makes you look and feel amazing on the dance floor. A V-neck, twist knot or draped bodice provides flattering shape. Go for a floral print or soft pastel colour. The Embellished Gown: If you want to stand out a bit more, go for a touch of sparkle. Look for gowns with embellishments like beads, crystals or sequins placed judiciously at the neckline, waist or shoulders. Avoid over-embellishment. The Two-Piece Gown: A gown with a separate top and skirt offers versatility. Get more wear by pairing them with other items in your wardrobe after the wedding. A beaded top with a flowing chiffon skirt is a stylish combo. Figure Flattering Styles No matter your shape or size, the key is finding a mother of the bride dress silhouette that flatters your figure. Here are some of our favorite looks: The A-Line Dress: This gently flared silhouette is universally flattering. It highlights the upper body while skimming softly over the hips and thighs. A classic scoop or V-neckline complements the shape. The Sheath Dress: A tailored sheath can be striking on a mature figure. Look for interesting details like a bateau neckline or draped asymmetrical hemline.  The Empire Waist Dress: This Regency-era style has a high waistline that hits just below the bust. It’s perfect for disguising the midsection and supporting the bust. Select soft fabrics to avoid a boxy shape. The Wrap Dress: Cinch in the waistline with the strategic draping of a wrap dress. Jersey knits work well for more casual weddings while silky wraps make an elegant statement. Chic Jumpsuits & Pantsuits If you prefer pants over dresses, today’s jumpsuits and pantsuits offer gorgeous options for the mother of the bride. The Dressy Jumpsuit: A touch of shimmer or lace transforms a basic jumpsuit into wedding attire. Look for halter, wrap and off-the-shoulder necklines. The Drapey Jumpsuit: Fluid fabrics like jersey or crepe move beautifully in a drapey jumpsuit. Empire or blouson waists provide flattering shape for all figures. The Pantsuit: From sleek to statement-making, today's pantsuits are far from boring. Look for strong shoulders, nipped-in waists and wide or cuffed pants. The Patterned Pantsuit: Make an entrance in a boldly printed pantsuit. Florals and geometric designs feel fresh and celebratory. Keep jewelry minimal. Colour Palette Ideas When it comes to mother of the bride dresses, colour is key for looking vibrant at any age. Follow these guidelines to choose colours that complement your complexion: Fair skin: Blush pink, sky blue, mint green, and violet bring out the pink undertones. Avoid yellow and orange which can wash you out. Metallics like pewter, platinum and rose gold flatter too. Olive skin: Bold ruby red, emerald green, and sapphire blue play up olive undertones. Corals and tangerines are great bright choices. Metallic bronzes and golds glow beautifully. Darker skin: Vibrant jewel tones look best - think deep purple, ruby red, teal, fuchsia and royal blue. Pair them with metallics in copper, bronze and 24k gold. Avoid pastels. Neutrals: Can't go wrong with black, white, navy, gray and blush which work with all skin tones. Choose textured fabrics to avoid looking washed out. Of course, the bride’s colour scheme is also a consideration, so check with her before going too bold! Adhering to a colour palette of 2-3 colours is a foolproof approach. Fabric & Texture Touches Fabric choice and texture details are key finishing touches that elevate any mother of the bride look. Look for fabrics with beautiful drape and movement like chiffon, crepe, charmeuse and jersey. They skim gracefully as you move. Luxurious fabrics telegraph elegance – try satin, silk, lace, brocade, jacquard and anything with a subtle sheen. Embellished fabrics provide visual interest. Seek out metallics, sequins, beading, embroidery and applique in small doses. Layering different fabrics and textures creates dimension. Pair a lace jacket with a flowy dress or metallic shoes with a satin gown. Don’t forget linings! A smooth lining will make any dress or skirt hang properly and move fluidly as you walk, dance and mingle. The Finishing Touches Complete your mother of the bride look with the perfect shoes, accessories and beauty touches. 1. Shoes: The best shoes strike a balance between fashion and comfort so you can dance the night away. Look for 2-3 inch heels, cushioned insoles and ankle straps or peep toes for support. Metallics add flair. Flats or wedge sandals work for outdoor weddings. 2. Handbag: A beaded or embroidered evening bag no smaller than your fist holds essentials without being bulky. Go hands-free with a wristlet or pocket hidden in your dress. For day weddings, opt for a sturdy shoulder bag large enough for a sweater or touch-up items. 3. Jewelry: Keep necklines and embellished gowns in mind when choosing jewelry. Opt for dainty drop earrings or a single statement necklace. Rings and bracelets should be minimal and comfortable. 4. Hair & Makeup: Schedule a trial run before the wedding to perfect your wedding day look. Update your go-to hairstyle with lose waves or a sleek updo. Ask your makeup artist to keep your makeup natural but defined with a bolder lip colour. This will ensure you look great in photos! The Perfect Mother of the Bride Outfit Awaits! Your daughter’s wedding day deserves an outfit as joyful and elegant as the occasion. We hope these diverse dress styles, recommendations and tips help inspire you to find a mother of the bride dresses that lets your inner light shine. Remember to choose an ensemble that makes you feel confident, stylish and comfortable as you celebrate your daughter’s marriage.
