Our favourite looks from the CFDA Fashion Awards 2013

CFDA wedding gown inspirationWe love looking to the red carpet and seeing what stylish celebrities and models are wearing at the moment. A couple of weeks ago, the CFDA Awards was held in New York and awarded fashion individuals in the American fashion industry. (images via style.com)

Above are a few of our favourite looks from the guests of the awards night. The beautiful Alessandra Ambrosio opted for a one shoulder gown, slim and elegantly sophisticated, paired with some lovely long earrings. Joan Smallswore a fitted bodice strapless dress with a straight neckline, matching it with a statement necklace. A lovely statement yet minimal style with hair tied back into a bun. And Lauren Santo Domingo wore a lovely textured tiered dress, with sleeves, an asymmetrical open neckline and a belt at the waist. It looks so effortless and beautiful! It would be a perfect style for a winter wedding.

So which style is your favourite?

We also offer couture service where we can design the favourite elements of dresses you’ve been researching and create your one of a kind wedding gown with you every step of the way. From selecting fabrications, to lace, to beading and to crystal embellishments! Our goal at The Wedding Boutique is to make you feel as beautiful as you are on your special day!

The Great Gatsby Style

We’re very excited to see The Great Gatsby film in cinemas soon! Other than the beautiful Carey Mulligan and charming Leonardo Di Caprio, we love the roaring 1920s era of America with so much change in art and fashion and inspiring new dress styles. It’s not only going to be a great film to watch but for us, a great inspiration for wedding themes, gown inspiration and styling inspiration!

The Great Gatsby wedding inspirationLove the set design and locations of the film. How romantic are the candles along the stairs? Perhaps it needs to be a bit safer though like having candle holders that cover the flame…

The Great Gatsby wedding inspirationHow about a fancy wedding reception by an outdoors pool side at a grand chateau?

The Great Gatsby wedding inspirationThe long peals on her neck and the blush pinks and reds with white in the background is such a graceful colour combination along with her champagne coloured dress.

The Great Gatsby wedding inspirationSome lovely lace applique and beading on the back of the dress adds to the elegance and vintage feel of a gown.

The Great Gatsby wedding inspirationA longer lined waist, or a drop waist is so quintessentially 1920s! With a fitted upper bodice, your waist line will still be accentuated with the fitted bodice following the lines of your hips as well.

The Great Gatsby wedding inspirationWho doesn’t love a bit of sparkle? We love our beaded gowns and beaded laces paired with crystal head ribbons and headbands for that art deco look!

The Great Gatsby wedding inspirationLayering organza or silk tulle with lace applique is also a nice idea, with a soft bow to the side. So elegant!

And finally, some lovely decor inspiration for your wedding. Leonardo Di Caprio doesn’t look too happy there but with all the sweets and cakes and flowers around him, still makes a lovely romantic setting. The sheer volume of the flowers is quite effective, giving an indoors area a more natural feel to it.

Hope you all manage to see it when it comes out! Wedding inspirations can really come from anywhere! So have fun with it. Collect images and inspiring dress styles and speak to us about our couture services and design your perfect dress with us.

Real Bride Katherine in Hilde Heim Harmony Gown

Katherine had her gorgeous wedding photos taken in Milsons Point, Sydney. With beautiful views of the Harbour Bridge and fun snaps of Luna Park and a lovely church ceremony, it was really an amazing Sydney wedding. The delicate and elegant Harmony gown by designer Hilde Heim, features a draped liquid silk satin bodice and skirt with a lightly silver beaded French lace overlay on the skirt, and the French lace also features on the cap sleeves of this stunning dress. The beaded head piece chosen really adds some fun and character to Katherine’s wedding look as well. We love the simple elegance of this gown on Katherine and we’re so happy for how spectacular her and her husband’s special day was!

We’re very excited to share with you some beautiful new head pieces available on our online store. The few below are just some of the amazing headbands and combs available.

Sara Gabriel Dia Comb

This Dia Hair Comb will sit perfectly in a volumous up-do hairstyle as it doesn’t go all the way around the head, it will be easier to control and style. But at the same time, it does give a similar effect as the headband, adding interest to your hairstyle on your special day.
