2010 Wedding Trend: Bridal Accessories with Color
The top bridal designers have just shown their latest collections in New York for 2010 brides. When it comes to accessories, one clear trend has emerged: color. Bridal accessories with color will be all the rage for 2010 weddings. Here are some ideas on how to capture this great trend for your own special day.
There are some wonderful ways in which bridal jewelry can be handcrafted with colorful accents while still maintaining that special character that makes it perfect for a wedding. One idea is to choose a handcrafted bridal jewelry set which is created from clear or AB crystals. Add a dash of color by having the designer switch out a few of the clear crystals for ones in your wedding color. This is a great idea, as you can use as much or as little color as you like. Keep the effect subtle with a pastel crystal (pink is especially popular) or go bold and use a stronger color like red.
Another idea for a bridal accessory with color is your wedding hair jewelry. Headbands have been very hot for brides the last few seasons, and they lend themselves to customization. A simple fabric headband can be embroidered with a lovely floral or vine motif in your favorite color. For a bit more pizazz, choose a fabric headpiece and have it beaded with glittering crystals or feminine pearls in a soft rosy color or a rich neutral like bronze. A fantastic alternative is a non-fabric headband made from a wire frame which is adorned with crystals and pearls. A combination of white pearls with colored and clear crystals is modern and fresh. This looks especially stunning when it is a double headband.
When you are thinking about wedding accessories, of course your shoes will be important. Even the most traditional bride can have fun with a pair of baby blue silk sandals peeking out from her conservative white wedding gown. Colorful shoes are also a fabulous accent for the ballerina length and hi-low hemlines that will be hot for 2010. Your accessories are a fantastic place to express your individuality and style, so have fun adding colorful accents that will make your bridal ensemble one-of-a-kind.

The key to picking the perfect wedding gown is to choose one that both flatters your figure and suits the style of your wedding. There are several key silhouettes and design trends that will be hot for 2010 wedding gowns, and this guide will help you to navigate through all of the tulle and taffeta to zero in on the ones that will be the best fit for you. Once you know what to try, the rest will be easy.
The natural waistline is being emphasized in the 2010 collections in a way that we have not seen for years. This means that the bodice ends right around the smallest part of the waist, and it usually is paired with a full A-line or ballgown skirt for a great 1950s party dress silhouette. So who can wear this shape? The ’50s shape is terrific for brides who love classic elegance, especially those gowns which have tulle or embroidered organza skirts. The natural waist is extremely flattering on petite brides, most of whom should never attempt to wear a drop waist which shortens the look of the legs. This is a very versatile shape that will find many fans.
If you are looking for a more glamorous bridal gown for a 2010 wedding, check out the terrific new trumpet skirt gowns in the latest collections. These gowns are fitted until about the knee and then flare out into a fuller skirt at the bottom. It is a style with a lot of drama and a sultry appeal. Many of the trumpet gowns have been created in lustrous silk satin with beaded accents. The sparkle of the embellishments pair beautifully with accessories such as handmade Swarovski crystal earrings. The strapless neckline is very popular with the trumpet skirts, and you are also seeing some with the chic one shoulder neckline. Highlight an asymmetrical bridal gown with a statement making pair of Swarovski crystal earrings which have been handmade to suit your style.
There were many draped bodices on the runway this time around. The draped bodices generally feature a fitted strapless shape with fabric that has been layered, pleated, or shirred to fit closely to the body. The draping is often set to run on the diagonal, meeting near the center of the gown. The result is a look that is not only striking, but is remarkably flattering to the figure. At first blush, one might think that extra fabric would add bulk, but the artful draping actually draws the eye inward, which whittles the waistline. In addition, the layers are magical at camouflaging an untoned torso. Any bride who wants to look like she has a tiny waist should try a draped bodice gown!
