We are excited to present our wedding dress of the month for November 2011 as “Halo Gown H7944”, a striking modern gown that will make you feel like a goddess on your wedding day.

This elegant wedding dress designed especially for Halo’s 2011 Silver 25th Anniversary Collection is available in store at Garter Girl, Charlestown. The store’s operators Lynne and Janine admire the impressive wedding dress whilst providing us with more detail.

Lynne comments “H7944 by Halo features a V-neck with a dazzling beaded neckline and a low V-back leading into ruffled bustle”. Janine advises that the slim-line wedding dress is made in silk dupion, a popular bridal and eveningwear fabric because of its texture, weight and colour range.

The stunning A-line white wedding dress is currently available in sizes 8-28 from Garter Girl. 

The detailed work within the neckline of the Halo gown leaves little need for a necklace; we recommend matching with a bracelet and earrings only. This beautiful sterling silver bracelet set with cubic zirconia is hand-crafted by Seraph Jewels. Business owner Genevieve, highlights the flexibility of her pieces - “This bracelet is quite stiff and if desired could also be worn in a bride's hair to set-off a fabulous ‘up-style’.  I love pieces which are versatile and can be worn in multiple ways”.

These glamorous dangly earrings, also by Seraph Jewels will ensure you sparkle with every movement! Chosen carefully to accompany both the bracelet and wedding gown, Genevieve describes the teardrop earrings as sterling silver and faceted clear quartz crystal.

From The Newcastle Bride Team

Spring is here and there are some big bridal fashion trends making their way around the world at the moment. As one of the Australia’s best bridal resources we’ve got the inside track and we’re sharing it with you ….

One of the main focuses for bridal fashion in Spring 2011 is detail. Ruffles and lace, accessories and gems are creating an effortless and feminine bridal style.

1. Wedding Shoes – Put a bow on it!

Cinderella had some special shoes so why shouldn’t you? This spring’s wedding shoe trend is all about flowers and bows. Whether your ruffle is on your toes or at your ankle you will add a stylish detail and a touch of feminine grace to the usual bridal footwear. You will feel ultra girly and so you should! Image By Thierry Boudan Photography

 

 2. Bridal Jewellery That Makes A Statement

You don’t have to choose just one bridal accessory because Spring 2011 sees the emergence of long layered jewellery and accent jewellery. Long layered bridal jewellery gives you an elegant and glamorous look, befitting a bride, and accent jewellery can create impact, with elegant and unique pieces with a modern twist. 

3. Stunning Wedding Headpieces

Bridal hair accessories like headpieces and headbands are coming back in a big way in Spring 2011 with short veils, tiaras, flowers and gems creating a look that’s sweet, vintage or simply drop dead stylish. Wedding headpieces are a gorgeous alternative to a long, traditional veil! Image By TM Photography
