Justin Alexander Gown 8626

This stunning dress by Justin Alexander exudes glamour and sophistication. The delicate layering of Chantilly lace and tulle offer a modern interpretation of current lace fashions. There are many detailed elements within this dress that could be highlighted with accessories. To emphasize the sleek sash waist and flower detail, choose a fabric flower tiara or comb to compliment. To create a more glamorous look add sparkle with a set stone or crystal side piece tiara or comb.

Dress your Dress: Jenny Packham’s Freesia

Tuesday, May 1st, 2012

Today our assistant designer Anna shows you her romantic mood board with inspiration on accessorising Jenny Packham’s Freesia gown. See more of Anna’s blogs here.

Jenny Packham Freesia

I adore this beautifully elegant dress (FREESIA) from Jenny Packham S/S 2013 range. The asymmetric shoulder and minimal detail is a perfect combination of modern elegance and delicate vintage design. To compliment this dress choose subtle accessories with vintage brooch details. A textured side spray tiara with a sweeping side bun will balance out this asymmetric design beautifully. A statement bracelet will add sparkle without overshadowing the waist and shoulder detail. The drape of this dress suggests an elegant wedding with soft colours and details. Experiment with tones of white, ivory and soft pink to create a tranquil feminine palette.

Bottom Left Richard designs Tiara TR1228A. Dress Alice Temperly (Long Honeysuckle Dress). Top left, Top right and bottom right images from thisisglamorous.com.

This exquisite dress by Alice Temperly is beautifully elegant, the French lace and detailed embellishment using bugle beads and sequins creates a unique and stylish feel to the gown. To complement this gown an intricate side spray tiara would work perfectly, highlighting the sparkle within the embellishment. Choosing a headdress and jewellery with a hint of silver and antique silver will enhance the historic regency qualities of the dress while still creating a modern look. These eye-catching shoes by Benjamin Adams encrusted with Swarovski crystal finish the look perfectly, adding a unique fairytale feel. To create an aura which compliments this beautiful gown, I’ve included a crystal chandelier and gilded mirror, which could be included in the reception venue to complement the look of a stylised vintage glamour bride.

Embellished bodice wedding dress with ruffled skirt Justin Alexander.

This detailed dress design by Justin Alexander exudes luxury and style. The exquisite detail of the embellished bodice, smooth coloured sash and ruffled skirt create a delightful combination of tactile textures, which can be highlighted by the use of accessories. Accentuate the coloured sash by wearing a tiara with a subtle hint of colour; include this also within your bridal bouquet, jewellery and shoes. The small dainty hair combs with Comet crystal and Cream rose pearl enhance the coloured crystal detail on the bodice, and the delicate flower mimics the soft ruffles of the skirt and compliments the flower detail on the bodice.

Dress your Dress: Justin Alexander 8557

The delicate detailing of the lace on this beautiful dress design from Justin Alexander would be perfectly complemented with dainty accessories. Pearl and minimal crystal complements the vintage, yet contemporary feel of this gown without overpowering the embellished waist and delicate sweet-heart neckline.  A fine lace edge ensures a soft, floating veil that does not compete with the detailed all over lace on the gown, but instead enhances its floral shapes. The pearl and crystal details on the tiara and headband work seamlessly with the vintage colouring of the dress, with the shape of the tiara (TR1196A top left) mimicking the flower detail on the dress. Finish off with a lace tied bouquet of blush roses for a beautifully feminine bridal look!
