Mother of the Bride Dress and Special Occasion Dress Tips NYC

December 11, 2010 By blakean

A previous Blake & Company wholesale special occasion dress blog entry listed 3 tips for the daring special occasion dress consumer. These tips are not for amateur special occasion dress wearers with little imagination. These tips are only to be attempted by women who are brave mother of the bride dress consumers. Only special occasion dress fashionistas will be able to pull off these tips that are guaranteed to make you look just fabulous!

Tip #4: Breezy, ruffled special occasion dresses are usually thought of as summer wear, however if you are feeling particularly brave – try this look in the fall or winter and the results can be fantastic if you can pull it off.

Tip #5: Belts are a hot accessory this season. You don’t have to be a fashionista to wear a belt. But – to truly show your style – a true fashionista will spruce up a special occasion outfit with not one – but two belts! That’s right, it sounds risky – but the payoff might just be worth it!

Tip #6: The ’70s are back! Try a high-waisted set of flare pants to make your special occasion outfit stand out! This look can be good for the casual, daytime look, and can also be used as a cocktail outfit for a more formal evening event.

Tip #7: Sequins, sequins, sequins! Sequins are definitely in! For special occasion dress clients who want to shine (and I meant that literally) sequins are the answer! Sequins add an edge to an otherwise boring special occasion dress. If you are feeling extra brave – go for a draped black dress made from lace accessorized with sequins.

More tips coming soon…

Wholesale Mother of the Bride Plus Size Dress Tips for Looking Slim!

November 5, 2010 By blakean

Mother of the bride dress shopping should be a time for mother and daughter to relish in their time spent. Finding the right mother of the bride dress can be stressful. It seems that the main goal of a mother of the bride dress is for the mother of the bride not to look old. The next goal for most mother of the bride dresses is for the mother of the bride to not look fat.

The key to choosing the right mother of the bride dress is that it should find the right balance between modern and age-appropriate while being flattering to the mother of the bride’s body type.

For a mother of the bride who wears a plus size dress, it is a good idea to wear dark colors instead of light colored dresses. Some good options are navy, charcoal, chocolate and wine colored gowns.

It is also a good idea to steer clear of horizontal striped mother of the bride dresses. Horizontal stripes tend to call attention to a person’s width. Thin vertical stripes on a mother of the bride dress can subtract ten pounds.

Mother of the bride dresses can make you look thinner if the trim matches the dress. High contrast is not a good idea for the mother of the bride aiming to look thinner.

It is also a good idea for a mother of the bride dress to show some leg off. Since the legs are generally the thinner parts of the body, it is a good idea to accentuate them. Opaque black tights can also keep the legs looking even thinner in a mother of the bride dress.

A solid color mother of the bride dress is more advisable than a busy print. By adding an accent high on the body by wearing a brooch or necklace, the mother of the bride can give a slimmer appearance.

A wide selection of mother of the bride dresses are currently on display at Blake and Company’s New York City Wholesale Dress Showroom, where you will find plenty of great deals on beautiful wholesale dresses! Come and see our mother of the bride and mother of the groom dress collections for yourself!

What Color Should The Mother of the Bride Wear?

October 15, 2010 By blakean

When it comes to Mother of the Bride dresses, the most commonly asked question asked by a Mother of the Bride is “What color dress should I wear?” Selecting the right color can be a daunting experience.

There are several items that must be examined in order to determine what colors are appropriate for a mother of the bride dress.

What time of year is the wedding? How formal is the event? What color are the bridesmaids dresses? What are the colors of the wedding flowers? What is your personal taste? The answers to these questions must all be taken into consideration before the mother of the bride and mother of the groom can be confident that they are choosing a color that works for the particular situation.

Traditional wedding etiquette stipulates that the mother of the bride dress should not be white. With that in mind – every other color is a possibility. As mentioned in a previous Blake and Company blog entry, black can be an excellent choice – especially for a black and white themed wedding. A red mother of the bride dress can be striking in the fall and winter.

The best route is to coordinate the mother of the bride dress with the bridesmaid dresses. The color doesn’t have to be a perfect match, but better to come close than the clash. This style is a classy way to coordinate and a mother of the bride can never go wrong with this strategy.

A more daring idea that can be a hit if it is done right is for the mother of the bride to contrast with the bridesmaids. To select the complementary color may be risky, but if done right – can be a homerun!

However, the best advice is to take the bride with you for a second opinion! This way, you are playing it safe, so that if anything goes wrong – the mother of the bride is not to blame.

Mother of the Bride Wholesale Dresses: Blake and Company Fashion Advice

October 13, 2010 By blakean

Mothers of the bride should depend on feedback from the bride and groom regarding what style mother of the bride dress to choose. This advice applies to mothers of the groom as well. Mother of the bride dresses should complement the bride and bridal party, so it is a good idea to wait until those styles have been selected before purchasing the mother of the bridal gown.

It is best if mother of the bride dresses complement the dresses of the wedding party. That doesn’t mean that they have to match, but they shouldn’t clash. Everyone should know that the only color that is off-limits when it comes to mother of the bride, mother of the groom and guest special occasion dresses is white. How about the color black for a mother of the bride dress? Black is not only allowed, but it is actually gaining popularity. Mother of the bride dresses and mother of the groom dresses can be black – as long as they are not designed with intricate prints that would draw attention away from the bride.

The mother of the bride should be afforded the option of selecting her dress prior to the mother of the groom dress being chosen. It is also best if the mother of the bride and mother of the groom plan their attire together.
