Five Must-Try Fall Fashion Trends

by Carmen Ondonez

Fall is right around the corner and with the change in season comes a change in fashion trends. From winter whites to fabulous burgundy and brocade fabrics, this fall there will be several trends worth trying. Here are five of my must-have picks.

Burgundy- This fall we’re seeing tons of rich hues like burgundy. This sultry color is sure to make a fashion statement anyway you wear it.

Style F14169

Brocade- Brocade invaded the runways. Not only is it timeless, but it’s also chic and great for dressing up, like this dress here from David’s Bridal.

Style 83262

Hunter Green- This shade is another one of my favorites for fall. It acts as a neutral in your wardrobe and is the perfect substitution for black.

Style F15103

Military- The military trend is back and strong this fall. Look for the print in coats, sweaters and dresses to easily add structure and sexiness to any outfit.

Leather- Leather is always in style, but this fall we’re seeing more of it. Try it in a skirt or dress, or opt for leather accents to create an edgy ensemble. I personally love seeing leather accents in unexpected classic pieces such as a pencil skirt or a sheath dress.

Other tips that might spark an interest:

ome pointers that weren’t mentioned on the show!

• No need for a wedding planner, everything can conveniently be done online!

• Incorporate your bridal party, family and friends to help back your cake, do your hair and make-up, create decorations, be the photographer, or even DJ! Your guest list is sure to have great talent so utilize them!
• Make a CD of your favorite playlist or have a guest bake treats as your favors.
• Stick to appetizer and dessert, people tend to get full on finger foods anyway.

• You can save a ton of money booking your wedding on a day other than Saturday. Look for a Friday or even a Sunday and compare prices.
• Find a venue that isn’t known for wedding, they tend to be less expensive.
• Buy flowers that are in season, they tend to be less expensive!
• Use your bridesmaid’s flowers as centerpieces.

We hope that these tips inspire inspiration to keep your wedding fun and affordable!

Sister Dresses
by Dan Rentillo

Congratulations!  You’re engaged! Wedding planning can be a stressful process but choosing your bridesmaids’ dresses doesn’t have to be. Sister dresses—a popular new bridal party trend—allows brides to pick silhouettes for their party that are different in style but complement each other in color or detail, ensuring everyone looks great and feels confident. Here are some of my favorite picks in Apple, the color of the season.

Beautiful Bows: Junior bridesmaids can feel like a true part of the party while wearing a faux one-shoulder with decorative three-dimensional details.

Style JB5051

Bold Bubble Hems: Form-fitting bodices create a gorgeous waistline while pickup skirts add volume and dramatic flair.

Style 84091

New Neckline Updates: V-necks flatter a variety of body types and provide extra coverage larger busted women.

Style F14823

Long & Flowing Gowns: One-shoulder necklines add a modern twist to a figure-flattering ball gown skirt.

Style F14430

Happy shopping!
