Pakistani Wedding Fashion: Pantene Bridal Couture 2012

Pantene Bridal Couture Week 2012 was a three-day event in Pakistan. The last stop was Karachi, where some of the most prominent designers in Pakistan brought their designs to the runway. Their elaborate designs are a symbol of the country’s rapid, and modern progression proving they are more than what the media portrays Pakistan as i.e. extremist and full of political turmoil.

Oscar de la Renta Spring Bridal 2013

Vera Wang wasn’t the only person to pick up some non-traditional bridal colors in their spring 2013 collection. This season Oscar de la Renta revealed delicate bridal dresses and designs perfect for your “something blue”! There even was a red dress in the collection–color is definitely in this season. We loved the Spanish inspiration behind the styling of certain looks with the dramatic veil headpieces. Would you rock a blue or red bridal dress?

Vera Wang Bridal Collection 2013

It’s New York Bridal Fashion Week! All week long, we’ve been drooling over all the latest designs from some of our favorite designers. Today we’ll show you guys some of Vera Wang’s breathtaking designs from her 2013 Spring Bridal collection. As always, she is the trendsetter in breaking the mold when it comes to bridal fashion. Last year it was all about black, nude, tulle and lace. This year’s 2013 collection highlighted a bright and unusual color for brides–red! It’s a bold choice and definitely perfect for that memorable reveal down the aisle at your wedding.

We think you’ll love that she included different tones of red, ranging from muted to vibrant, and wine to coral. If red is too contemporary for you, consider letting your bridesmaids rock the color!

Jimmy Choo Spring 2012 Collection

A stylish shoe and handbag can make or break an outfit, which is why you’d be in good hands with the Jimmy Choo Spring 2012 Collection! We think any stylish fashionista will go crazy over the bold colors and prints in this 2012 collection of clutches, stilettos, and chic handbags. 

These are just SOME of what the talented designers at Jimmy Choo had to offer. There’s something for everyone–brides, career gals, and the everyday trendsetter. The beading and glitter details on the flats and special occasion heels are delicate and intricate. You’ll really love the tribal/boho chic trend with the basket weave clutch and fringe bag (paired with red skinny jeans/pants, and a flowy blouse.. so chic!) Let’s not forget about THE stiletto in the bottom right corner! It’s the perfect shoe for the brave risk-taker who wants to turn heads.
