WHAT'S OUT

Lately, we're seeing more and more weddings that are rather personalized to the characters of the bride and the groom. With that being said, wedding themes like extravagant fairy-tale concept will finally see the end of its era. It is the fact that couple favor natural and organic elements that's driven them to choose rustic concept over fairy-tale. However, if you happen to have a couple who prefers fairy-tale wedding concept, we suggest you to advise them to go on the more modern and simpler route of the concept, such as emphasizing on the romantic and feminine vibe with touches of flowers here and there. This will also enable your clients who are on a tight budget to save time and money.

Nowadays, brides are looking for something more practical, thus, dresses with extra-long trains are quite a rare sight. Adding into the bandwagon is feathery dresses.
