Dressing up for a wedding in the season’s latest styles is easier when you keep track of runway trends from fashion week and celebrity styles from the latest red carpet event. Whether you’re the bride or a member of the wedding party, decking yourself out in the right colors, hairstyles and makeup is essential for making the day a picture-perfect event.
Heading off to celebrate a Fall wedding? Here are some of the top style trends to complement your ensemble:
Fall 2008 Wedding Trend: Black and White Color Combos
Whether it’s the bride’s dress or just the overall theme of the wedding, wearing only black and white is a top trend for the season. Look for suits and dresses in white that are embellished with black designs and embroidery; it’s a bold and classic look that adds a sophisticated touch to any wedding.
Fall 2008 Wedding Trend: Old Hollywood Makeup
Classic looks run strong in the makeup department for weddings this year, so turn to glamorous looks inspired by Old Hollywood for a sophisticated twist to the modern wedding. Look for classic red lips and simple but bold eye makeup, chic up-dos and diamond jewelry for the bride and bridesmaids. Coupled with a ’50s inspired gown or suit, this look can make any wedding a truly memorable one.
Fall 2008 Wedding Trend: Gold Jewelry
It’s the season for rich and warm tones, and gold jewelry complements bronzed skin against white and pastel-colored dresses for a breathtaking look. Finish off a deep neckline or off-shoulder dress with gold necklaces and miniature chains that add a chic and elegant touch to the ensemble.
