Royal Wedding Accessories

Nahid — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 15:30:19 +0000

With the royal wedding coming up, we can’t help but be inspired! You don’t need a royal budget to look and feel like a royal princess at your wedding or event. Incorporating the right colors and accessories can turn your event into an upscale and royal affair. Take a look at our inspiration boards for unique accessories and ideas worthy of a princess-to-be!

When creating a royal theme, there are ways to avoid looking gaudy or tacky. Everyone loves a little bling and sparkle, but instead of bedazzling everything from the napkins to the bridesmaid dresses, you can use crystal in your candlesticks or centerpieces. Choosing one or two big statement pieces is a more effective way to save on your budget while leaving a lasting impression with your guests.

Today’s wedding dress couture inspiration comes from Elie Saab’s Haute Couture Spring Summer 2011 collection. The collection is full of color and rich fabrics including: georgette, lace, chiffon, silk, not to mention the rosette details and embroidery. A Lebanese designer, Elie Saab’s dresses are romantic, flowy and seductive all of which are the perfect inspiration for a wedding dress for brides of every taste and style.

For the Romantic Bride:

For the Sexy Bride:

For the Elegant Bride:

Of course, we cannot forget;

the EXTRAVAGANT Bride:

No matter what your style is as a bride, Elie Saab has it in this collection. If you’re going for romance look for flowy fabrics and rosette appliques. If elegance is your style, sequins and lace are details that add that sophistication to your gown. Deep sweetheart necklines and lots of leg inspire a sexy gown. Although few of us can afford Saab’s couture gowns, we can all get a little inspiration from them!
