Wedding Attire 101: What to Wear To A Wedding

Weddings are a $50 billion annual industry, with the average American couple spending more than $35,000 on their special day.

It can be easy to let that price tag intimidate you when you open your invitation. But of all the things you have to worry about — like finding a perfect gift for the newlyweds — your wedding attire doesn’t have to be one of them.

Here are the “I Do’s” and “I Don’t’s” of Wedding Attire

Before you proceed, there are a couple of rules you should keep in mind, especially if you’re a lady.

No. 1: Avoid white, off-white, or ivory. After all, you don’t want to detract attention away from the bride.

No. 2: Black is actually permissible now. Traditionally, the color used to be reserved for funerals and mourning, but Glamour Magazine reports that it’s become more socially acceptable because of how flattering and versatile it is. Some weddings are even specified as black-tie affairs now.

If you’re not sure what the dress code is, ask the bride to see one of her wedding programs to get a better idea of what to expect. It’s also helpful to note the setting and time of the wedding, that way you can stay comfortable and fashionable at the same time.

For the Ladies

There are a few guidelines to follow once you know the time and location of the wedding. For instance, avoid black and sequins if the wedding is during the day, as this will make you appear overdressed.

Additionally, remember that the wedding will be attended by guests of all ages, not just your own. This means you should probably save that low-cut, high-hemmed, revealing, or form-fitting dress for the bachelorette party — especially if the wedding is taking place in a church or other modest setting.

Moreover, you want to accessorize properly. Ditch the tote bag in favor of a clutch, cross-body, or mini bag. All you’ll need is your keys, phone, ID, credit card, and lipstick. And as for the shoes, you want them to balance the formality of your outfit, not over- or underdo it.

Lastly, if a dress just feels a bit too feminine for you, you’re allowed to wear pants. Just be sure they’re not denim; stick with a pair of elegant slacks, or find a comfortable pantsuit.

For the Gentlemen

Although wedding attire for men is significantly less diverse, it’s still possible to screw it up. However, feel free to personalize your look with a pocket square, cufflinks, or tastefully patterned tie.

Rule number one: No shorts. Ever. Not even in the summertime. Remember it’s a wedding and not a Saturday frat party before the game.

Your safest bet will be a suit and tie, but remember to stay away from black. Navy is a better alternative if you’re drawn to the darker, neutral shades. And if the dress code is “black tie,” stick with a tuxedo and black bowtie.

Before We Part…

No matter what you decide to wear, make sure your wedding attire is properly tailored for the occasion. The last thing you need is a wardrobe malfunction on the dance floor.

Keep the theme of the wedding in mind as well. Some couples like to get creative over their shared interests, so this might allow you some extra freedom with your outfit. And if all else fails, it can’t hurt to run your idea by the bride and groom for approval beforehand.

Pronovias 2018 Bridal Runway Show: Innovative Designs and Feminine Curves

The 2018 Atelier Pronovias bridal runway show, which took place today in New York City. Notable front row guests included Actress Katie Cassidy, Bloggers Mary Seng and Jessi Malay, and TV Host Andy Adler.

The new Atelier Pronovias 2018 Collection is defined by the concept of a WISH. Taking inspiration from dreams and desires, with water as the main element, this collection highlights the magical movement of waves, the fluidity of currents and the sparkle of water droplets in exquisite models designed to enhance the bride’s femininity.

The new looks are a fresh take on volume, a highlight in this collection, with innovative designs that lighten up patterns and reinvent silhouettes such as the flared line, designed to emphasize the bride’s curves and bring more movement and fluidity to the skirt. The envelope was pushed this season to give brides endless possibilities to play up their figures. Pronounced side cleavage, with elegant sheer effects, brings those attractive feminine curves to the forefront.

Thread embroidery, the star of this collection, is a testament to the atelier’s firm commitment to a thoughtful combination of materials and fabrics. Silk gauze, organza and Mikado add volume, while crepe and soft satin outline the bride’s figure, which is set off by the French lace that is a hallmark of the atelier’s dresses.

This year’s brides will sparkle more than ever with white gemstone embroidery that gives the collection a very sophisticated touch. Sensational jeweled dresses add a special glimmer to the designs and are combined with sleeve and neckline appliqués, creating a magical effect reminiscent of falling water, another distinguishing feature this season.

And convertible dresses give brides countless ways to shine on their big day. These transformable designs are complemented by layers, trains, overskirts and detachable boleros, allowing brides to show off different styles as the celebration progresses.

The new Atelier Pronovias 2018 Collection dazzles at every turn, making it –once again– the essence of good taste and quality.

About Pronovias

Pronovias was born as a family business over 50 years ago. The brand began operating under the name ‘El Suizo’, a prestigious Barcelona store in 1922 that specialized in lace, embroidery, and high-quality silk fabrics. The company presented its first collection of prêt-a-porter wedding gowns in Spain in 1964 – and Pronovias was born.

For over five decades, Alberto Palatchi Ribera has managed the group and its expansion process, conveying a philosophy of quality and design that typifies its work. In July 2017, the group BC Partners became one of the stockholders with the purpose of promoting the brand’s international growth.

Pronovias is currently present in more than 105 countries with 155 shops and over 4,000 points of sale. The firm’s goal is to continue to grow and open shops, both in the countries where it is already present and in new markets. On an international level, Pronovias recently opened flagship stores in cities such as Paris, Mexico City, Rome, Brussels and Berlin. Today, Pronovias Fashion Group is a global leader in bridal fashion that is present around the world.

Berta Bridal Launch from Raffaele Ciuca

On the first of June Melbourne bridal retailer Raffaele Ciuca launched the stunning MUSE by BERTA collection to Melbourne, Australia. The evening was an intimate affair in their High Street, Armadale Bridal Emporium and brought together and showcased the best talent in Australia’s bridal industry.

The beauty look for the evening was synonymous with Berta’s signature bronze palette and was re-created by a team of makeup artists from the NATIONAL ACADEMY OF BEAUTY. Hair was styled by Kristina Youseff of KYK HAIR in loose tresses parted in the centre then adorned with VIKTORIA NOVAK crowns.

Upon arrival guest were greeted with a pomegranate ginger palomas served by waiters in tuxedos and black velvet bowties.

Canapés of black rice crisp, ocean trout, salmon pearls, celery cress.  Seared Port Phillip Bay scallop, coconut and sweet pumpkin, salsify and shiso and camomile tea smoked quail taro chip, quince relish roamed the room on mirrored trays.

Guests were treated to a two course dinner and a MUSE inspired take home dessert  designed by Lisa Van Zanten Executive Pastry Chef of ATLANTIC GROUP.

Guests were invited to Melbourne Meets Muse with a unique pairing, but beautifully luxe unification, of black on black invitations. The rich foiling of the text grasping their attention and carrying on to the menus. Created by the talented team at GIANT INVITATIONS.

The luxe marble dining table ran the length of the Armadale Bridal Emporium between rows of wedding gowns. Each place setting was dressed with precision, featuring all black plates, cutlery and napkins all hand- selected by HARRY THE HIRER.

The smell of fresh peonies was in the air… every surface in the store has been covered in rich, dark floral arrangements by BABYLON FLOWERS and burning candles creating a wintery and romantic mood.

Blair Eadie: Pronovias’ 2017 American It Bride

PRONOVIAS, the leading Company in the world of wedding dresses, moves full speed ahead with its successful digital project, #PronoviasItBrides,  conceived with the purpose of inspiring all future brides to say “I do” while wearing  their dream dress that enhances one’s individual style and personality.

Thanks to the success of the project, Pronovias plans to support it further as it believes in the importance of uniting the tradition of the Spanish company with the most influential digital ambassadors, creating relationships with the best-known and loved faces in social media. Last year, Pronovias worked with American influencers Whitney Port, Danielle Bernstein, Rumi Neely, and Jennifer Grace to head the It Bride campaign in the USA. This year, the American face of the Atelier Pronovias 2017 Collection is NYC-based Blair Eadie, author of the hit fashion blog, Atlantic-Pacific.

With a total social media following of over 1.5 million followers, Eadie was an obvious choice for the bridal firm; she knows how to effectively connect with her audience, creating authentic content and always making sure her posts give her followers an added value. Moreover, Eadie’s personal fashion aesthetic was an ideal match for Pronovias, taking ultra-feminine bridal gowns and giving them her unique NYC-chic twist.

Eadie wore a total of 6 gowns during the New York City photo shoot, which included backdrops of the iconic New York City Public Library, mid-town Manhattan traffic, and a scenic rooftop in Brooklyn. Out and about in the big apple was the perfect location for this shoot, showcasing how the fast pace of today’s world can still pause for a moment to capture beauty and celebrate ever-evolving bridal style.

As both parties of the collaboration begin to publish the photos and video from the #PronoviasItBridesshoot, the goal is that Eadie’s personal style shines through and brides-to-be everywhere are inspired with the fresh, fashion-forward finished product.

The new Atelier PRONOVIAS 2017 Collection, designed by Hervé Moreau, the firm’s creative director, reflects contemporary elegance, making beauty and comfort possible for all brides.  The collection works with materials such as crepe, Mikado silk, and ethereal, translucent gauze, including Valentina gauze.
