Our Wedding Accessory Trend Predictions for 2013

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2013

2013 is here and we are sure it will be a year filled with weddings and joy. With new designs already on their way for 2013, we share our predictions of what will be hot for the new year.

Last season saw the continuation of a love of lace, and we think 2013 will be no different. With designers using lace in new and unexpected ways, we are sure to see some stunning lace creations in the coming year. Finishing lace with subtle silver sparkle and a touch of pearl adds glamour to this elegant look on both veils and tiaras. Our new veil C409B includes each of these key fashion trends.

Reflecting the popularity of lace, headpieces that mimic delicate woven shapes will be hitting shelves next year. Texture and depth are key to keeping this style current, with light laces, fabrics, diamante and pearls layered together, like in our TR1534A.

Crystal & Feather Tiara TR1534A

Heavy silver detailing is making way for delicate crystal and tiny pearls, creating an overall more sensitive and lighter look. Our Romeo & Juliet inspired collection will fulfill the need for romantic flowers and soft shapes.

Belts and shrugs will be the must-have accessories for 2013. Silver beaded belts such as our Belt009 are a great way to create an embellished waistline, and can be added or removed to transform your look from day to night. Lace shrugs and removable lace cap sleeves will be a must for your ceremony, as illusion necklines take centre stage.

The new collection is absolutely stunning, and we know it is right on trend for next season. Including influences from the 1920s era of frivolity and fashion, the collection is delicate and sparkling.

Tiaras are intricately detailed with an abundance of crystal and an aspect of silver. Traditional shaped tiaras come to the forefront and we have created several new styles including crystal, pearl, lace and even handmade flowers.

Embroidery has been carefully used to mimic the shape and details of lace, which will work perfectly with the abundance of lace gowns available.

The new jewellery is beautiful and easy to wear. Long necklaces with Swarovski crystal can be layered to create a luxurious, flamboyant look so reminiscent of the 1920s.
