Mantillas and drop veils are showing up more and more in the weddings submitted to Bride Chic. I wanted to share this tidbit with you simply because this tells me something about brides and what's going on with their heads: Some of you still love topping it all off with a long and flowing veil.
Defined, a drop veil or mantilla style is circular, has no poufs or gathers at the crown and can literally be dropped onto the head in a single layer of lace or tulle. They're often bordered...

So you're going for a hat on your wedding day. Hats, fascinators, headbands, and many more are all a given these days for topping off your white aisle look.
Not long ago, society's code for brides wearing hats instead of a long, flowing veil meant you were either a second time bride or over thirty-five and marrying for the first time. Interesting isn't it? There were, of course, exceptions to the rule: A bride having a very small or 'going away wedding' as they were called back then...

There's yet another new kid on the block getting into the bridal game. Edisen just launched Say 'I Do', a collection of little white and blush colored party dresses and vintage-inspired accessories.
The new line reflects that kind of 'playing dress-up' feel: 3/4-length sleeved cover ups and wraps, a white dotted nose bridal veil and silk and satin sashes in romantic blush hues. Each and every piece captures the best of the1940's with that twist of 21st Century thrown into the...

This week I did a post on, Adding Character to Your Dress. It really got me thinking about how bridal fashion has metamorphosed the past few years. Thanks to some indie designers and new generation brides, restrictions that were once de riguer can be relaxed or broken all together. Notice I said, can--you have a choice now and if you want to don that long, flowing bridal veil anytime of day be my guest, ditto the long gloves in polka dot if you want. Still, I get clients who ask,...

Here's an ongoing trend alert for all of you pondering options for topping off your white aisle look. I'm finding almost every one of my clients this year is going for some kind of cage veil. Sheath, A-line or full ball gown, the practical cage veil goes with any wedding dress silhouette, amps up the glam factor and is easy and light to wear.
Traditional veils take work and the longer ones like chapel and cathedral lengths (though beautiful) either involve removing layers come...
