Enzoani Takes Cabo

The phrase, “Work Hard, Play Hard” came true to life in June as our owners, Marsha and Jenny, headed to Cabo to experience the debut runway show of the Enzoani Collections.  While dining and dishing over the latest bridal trends, our top ladies were able to view the STUNNING line of gowns new to our StarDust family.  The evening began with cocktails and a delicious dinner with a delectable Runway Show for dessert!  Exquisite, impeccable, elegant, embellished, intricate are just a few of the words that describe and embody this Enzoani line.  We are counting down the days for these gorgeous gowns to arrive in our salon!

See below for more fun sneak peeks of the event and the runway shows! #EnzoaniTakesCabo #StarDustTakesCabo

Bridal Trends Straight Off the Runway

Embellishment:

Pearls, crystals, beading, oh my! Designers are encrusting bodices, lace or even an entire gown from head to toe to make sure a bride shines in a whole new way on her special day. Sparkle your way to the altar in a few of these favorite frocks!

Plunging Necklines:

Dare to be different or even a little risque on your day! Dramatic, deep necklines are all the rage on the bridal runway with sheer illusion plunging to the naval. Some designers are providing a little bit of modesty with lace applique or embellishment and some seem to be encouraging the “bare all” approach.

Sleeves:

Whether you are channeling your inner retro vibe with a trendy bell sleeve, attempting for a little more coverage with a fitted 3/4 sleeve or want to embody all that is Jackie O classic beauty, the bridal gods did not disappoint. We are so in love with this trend that we can’t decide which is our favorite!

Unique Backs:

Open backs, low backs, strappy backs, illusion and lace backs, jewel-encrusted backs…designers are finding every which way to provide the most amount of interest as you stand at the altar.  The dramatic back craze is a trend that has surfaced the last few seasons and is developing into a fashion staple we do not see turning to a fad any time soon!

Feathers and Tiers:

From one end of the spectrum to the other, we are seeing the re-emergence of feathered frocks for the trend-setting bride and the fun and flirty, tiered skirt for the fashion-forward. Designers have adorned gowns with threaded plumes to add dimension and fluff to a skirt and are adding billowing layers of sumptuous fabrications to create tiers from waist to finish. Either way, you cannot go wrong donning these new trends!

High Neckline:

Opposite the plunging neckline, Queen Anne collars, halters and high neck chokers are the newest fashion for your bridal style.  Sometimes accompanied by a bridal cape or a flutter sleeve, this new style captures the essence of modern chic and vintage, all-in-one!

Dimensional Florals and Lace:

Gone are the days of the quintessential corded, two dimensional lace. While we do still love this classic look, designers are utilizing various fabrications to embellish and enhance lace to new levels and heights – literally! Whether using an architectural or modern patterned lace or utilizing a classic Alencon, designers are garnishing these fabrications to provide top-notch, unprecedented texture!

8 Hot Trends at 2016 New York International Bridal Week

We are back from a whirlwind trip of runways, designer showrooms and the cutting edge of bridal fashion at New York International Bridal Week. We have been busy pouring over all of our notes and photos and could not be more excited about the parade of gorgeous gowns that will be headed to our salons over the next year. While we always love seeing those classic bridal elements like delicate lace, sumptuous fabrics and sparkly accessories – we noticed these 8 awesome trends that appeared on several runways.

Crop Tops
We’ve seen the thigh high slits, plunging necklines and open backs but a crop top is great for a bride to show off a subtly sexy flash of skin in a young, fresh way

Two Looks for the Cost of One
Talk about versatility – Get two looks in one with this super cool trend of a full airy skirt for that walk down the aisle and then remove to dance the night away at your reception!

Sparkle
Yes, beautiful bead work has been the specialty of some designers for years, but now we are seeing sparkle in bigger and bolder ways. Expertly placed on more red-carpet inspired silhouettes, these gowns would make any bride shine like a star. You know what they say… Never let anyone ever dull your sparkle!

Floral Details
This romantic garden-inspired trend popped up with many of our designers from printed pastels to delicate embroidered appliques. We can’t get enough of the sweet, feminine feel it lends to these gowns.

Off the Shoulder Neckline
We love this neckline because it feels inherently timeless and feminine but adds a flirty twist to a gown with straps or sleeves.

Textured Skirts
Whether it’s a ballgown, fit & flare or mermaid silhouette, dramatic textured skirts continue to make a showstopping entrance. Miles of feathered organza and layers of ruffles paired with embellished bodices or illusion lace make for one glamorous bride!

Light & Airy A-Line Silhouettes
Ethereal has been a word bouncing around the bridal fashion world for a few seasons now and that light, dreamy feel has been perfected in these soft a-line silhouettes. With subtle sparkle, color or lace, this shape is universally flattering for any bride-to-be.

Color

More and more, we see color that emphasizes the bride’s skin tone. Designers are emphasizing mixed metallics, prints, contrasting lining colors and even color blocking.

There you have it, and that’s just the highlights! Check out our trunk show schedule for dates throughout 2016 to view your favorite designer’s collection and be sure to book your appointment in advance.  To inquire about a specific gown or designer, please call our bridal salon at 972-781-1619.
