My City February 2023

C. Elaborate Ballgowns For brides looking to feel like the belle of their ball! D. High-Slit Skirts Sleek silhouettes for bolder brides. E. Shorter Veils Create a starlet vibe – think Audrey Hepburn and Ariana Grande. F. Gloves Adding a sense of soft romance that can modernize any look. G. The CuratedWeddingWardrobe The idea is to assemble several white outfits and accessories that will take the bride through every wedding event, both pre- and post.The current trend is to include an after-party mini dress in the collection. THE BRIDESMAIDS Topping the list of colors for 2023 is green, such as emerald, paired with blush pink, light blue and silver. Neutral-colors are trending (champagne, ivory, white) in bridesmaid dresses, as well as luxe fabrics like silk, satin and velvet. And “mismatched” styles – whether it’s color or silhouette – are perfect for allowing individuality among the attendants. THE GROOM It’s about simplicity – grooms choosing simpler and lighter outfits rather than the full-out tux. Most opt for traditional styles in shades of black, navy or dark gray for formal or fall/ winter weddings, and lighter shades of blue or tan for casual or spring/summer. Monochrome beige and brown are popular, as well. Rather than white, fresh colors and nature-driven palettes make a statement and look great in photos, too! ß
