Color Me Beautiful: Grammy Trending

Grammy inspiration

With the Grammy Awards airing last night, we are just brimming with red carpet fashion inspiration from some of Hollywood’s most beautiful starlets.  After watching gown after gown traipse by the flashing cameras, we couldn’t help but notice a trend.  The high-necked gown is back!  We love how the dresses donned by Adele, Taylor Swift, and many others cover up just a bit more while still embracing a feminine, alluring shape.  We found some gorgeous gowns for bride and bridesmaid alike that feature this neckline, including the classic wedding dress of Grace Kelly.

Color Me Beautiful: Sheer Beauty

Inspired by the Chrisitan Dior Ready-To-Wear 2012 runways, we were thrilled to find so many ways to incorporate sheer details into your wedding celebration.  Sheer details on wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses bring a soft, subtle sexiness that we love.  Winter and early spring brides have the perfect opportunity to cover up a bit more while also evoking a flirtatious femininity in a sheer sleeved gown (we are all about that Monique Lhuillier number!).  Sheer fabrics in table and room decor showcase color, lace, and detailing without adding heaviness; they tend to reflect and soften light which brings an airiness that we cannot resist.

We are so thrilled to show off all the gorgeous details of Liz and Scott’s glamorous affair.  From the bride’s exquisite gown to the ethereal tent glowing with floating lanterns, this wedding was out of a dream.  Liz and Scott were married at Clifton Inn this spring, and these photos only begin to show the deep love they share with one another. Many thanks to Holland Photo Arts for capturing these moments.
