INSPIRATION: Get Red Carpet Style from the Oscars on a Budget
Many of our 2009 wedding style predictions came true on the Red Carpet at the Academy Awards last night! SmartBride predicted (ok - maybe 'desperately hoped for') a few figure flattering trends, and we hit the trend jackpot at last night’s Oscars.
- Pleats are coming on strong, rivaling beading and embroidery on necklines, hemlines and bodices. They make a dress look elegant and sophisticated without looking busy.
- Soft fullness and floral embellishments replace heavy tiered skirts.
- Resurgence of the Off-white Evening Gown
- Mermaid style gowns with interesting necklines.
Let us show you how you can have Red Carpet style for your wedding and stay on budget! Click on the images to go straight to the dress for sale on SmartBrideBoutique.ca.
