All work and no play = stressed bride. Enjoy the holiday on Monday!

Happy Friday! Before the super-busy fall wedding season kicks into high gear, we have a little reprieve coming up: Labor Day!

It cannot be said enough – we simply LOVE lace! There is something just so beautiful, fresh, elegant and feminine about it. Lace has been a leading trend at bridal market the past two seasons (read more about that here and here). And while it is a given that lace can be bridal, it can also be incredibly stylish for your bridesmaids!

We have started receiving the fall 2012 collections featuring the cutest lace gowns from some of our wonderful designers. Check out these stunners by Watters. This collection features styles with floral-inspired names, and the dresses are available with options in six lace colors and more than 25 colors of lining! Watters even offers a few separates pieces in this line.

Yes, these are beautiful and come in a vast selection of colors for your girls. BUT, these little lacy numbers are also great multi-taskers because they are perfect for you – for engagement parties, showers, your rehearsal dinner or as a going away dress!

Watters isn’t the only designer leading with this fabulous design element. Both Alvina Valenta and Noir by Lazaro have presented several fabulous lace gowns. Look at these beauties.

We hope to see you soon in our beautiful Stardust salon, exploring ways to incorporate lace into your wedding! Please feel free to call or come by to visit our bridesmaid experts with any questions on these lovely lace gowns!
