Roberto Cavalli’s Anniversary Party and His Inspiration to Special Occasion Dress Designers

Special Occasion Dresses Roberto Cavalli

Cavalli’s vision will surely continue to inspire the finest designers for years to come.

Celebrity Weddings took a back seat earlier this week, as Roberto Cavalli celebrated the 40th Anniversary of his company in Paris with an over-the-top anniversary bash!  Over one thousand guests including the likes of Taylor Swift, Naomi Campbell, Janet Jackson and Heidi Klum attended and partied the night away.

The guests dressed in stunning occasion gowns and beautiful dresses that would make Hillary Clinton’s mother of the bride dress look like something off the rack at Walmart.  In the meantime, those privileged enough to be invited chowed down on exotic foods and sipped expensive champagne.  The room was the size of a football field and was decorated with lovely arrangements of flowers and large topiaries.

The celebration honored Roberto Cavalli and his most notable contributions to the fashion world which include animal-printed evening gowns, distressed denim, and a method of printing and patching different fabrics together.  Cavalli’s designs have inspired special occasion dresses and mother of the bride dresses since the mid 1990’s when he burst onto the scene with his exquisite dress designs for the affluent partygoer looking to get noticed.

Cavalli has worked with many of the world’s leading fashion houses including Pierre Cardin and Hermes.  Roberto Cavalli’s clothing and accessories can be found in over 50 countries all over the world.

Cavalli’s vision will surely continue to inspire the finest designers for years to come.

Does the economy have an impact on Fall 2010 Wedding Trends?  Of course!  In the wholesale dress industry, it’s important to know the economic market that we are in and make decisions accordingly.  One thing is for sure, there will plenty of weddings and somebody’s got to dress all of the mothers of the brides and mothers of the grooms– why shouldn’t it be you?  And don’t forget about all of the other wedding guests who may decide to splurge for that special occasion dress that they have “just got to have!”

While, the economy has an impact on the style and fashion of the weddings of the season, it is also important to keep in mind that couples are becoming more creative in their wedding choices and wholesale dress vendors should capitalize on the latest trends.

Mismatched bridesmaid dresses continued to flourish this year as women were encouraged to choose dress cuts that flattered their particular body types.  The latest trend in 2010 was for brides to give their bridesmaids to not only choose their styles, but to also choose their designers.  While, the colors of the dresses remain the same, the styles can vary tremendously.

For several years now, strapless dresses have become very popular.  Many guests are opting for sleeves, straps, and other methods for covering their shoulders, but the strapless special occasion dress phenomenon will be here to stay for the immediate future.

What Color Should the Mother of the Groom Wear?

 

Mother of the Groom DressesWhen choosing a mother of the bride or mother of the groom dress, one should consider the color.  Do you think that it is a good idea for the mother of the groom to wear the same color as the mother of the bride so that they match?

As a rule of thumb, it is a good idea to wear something that coordinates with the wedding colors. However, it is important for the mother of the groom to blend in.  Therefore, it is not a good idea for the mother of the groom to match the same color of the mother of the bride.  Instead it is a better idea for the mother of the groom to wear a complementary color to the mother of the bride; but not the same color.

In addition, a mother of the groom must think about how the wedding photos will look.  Does the mother of the groom want to stand out? – hopefully not…

It is a good idea if everyone wears colors within the same hues or colors that are considered complementary. For example, it is not a good choice for a mother of the groom to wear a dark color dress to the wedding if the wedding colors are light or if the mother of the bride is wearing a light colored dress. 

Also, if the wedding colors contain deep fall shades, it is best not for the mother of the groom to blend in rather than dress is a pastel color.

When thinking about dressing a mother of the bride or mother of the groom, it is important to keep one word in mind – blend.  If a mother of the groom does not coordinate with the wedding colors, then it will be the first thing that everyone notices in the wedding pictures and it would probably get the mother of the groom off to a bad start with her son’s new wife.
