Royal Wedding Mother of the Bride Dress 2011: Blake and Company Blog

mother of the bride dressSo, as it turns out, the most famous wedding dress of the millennium, Kate Middleton’s Wedding Dress, has been designed by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen.   The wedding dress was selected because of its fine craftsmanship, beauty and because it is a product of Britain.

The dress itself featured a hand-engineered lace floral design.  Ivory satin material adorned the bodice.  The dress took several workers hours and hours to create.

However, while the wedding dress was spectacular, there is another outfit that caught our attention here at Blake and Company.  The outfit that caught our attention is the one worn by Carole Middleton, the mother of the bride.

The mother of the bride outfit was a beautiful sky.  Apparently, it turns out that the mother of the bride changed her mind at the last minute and ditched the mother of the bride outfit designed by designer Lindka Cierach.  It is rumored that after several months and several secret fittings, the mother of the bride, Carole Middleton, opted for a different mother of the bride outfit leaving the original mother of the bride designer stunned.

It is predicted that as the Royal Wedding was being broadcast, mother of the bride dress designers and wedding dress designers were busy making replicas.  It is highly likely that similarly styled designs will be featured in the months to come.

vm by mori lee dresses nycYou don’t have to spend a million bucks to look like a million bucks.  You’ve heard that saying before, but when it comes to special occasion dresses in New York City – Blake and Company means it.  Wholesale special occasion dress clients can find what their customers are looking for without breaking the bank.

It is important to understand that money doesn’t always equal style.  It is a good idea to consider the cut, construction and fabric of the special occasion dresses.  It is also worth remembering that confidence is important when women want to look their best.  A little confidence can go a long way when it comes to looking great in a special occasion dress.

We live in a society filled with images of runway models and red carpets, women must know what it is that makes them fashionable.  For the most part, women in their 40’s are targeted to wear clothing modeled by women in their 20’s.  In addition to that, the model photos are all digitally retouched.  So how does the average woman determine their own individual style?  Women rely on the opinions of special occasion dress vendors.  Women tend to have their favorite designers or favorite special occasion dress cuts and pretty much stick to their comfort zone.

Special Occasion Dress Tips by Blake and Company: New York’s Premier Mother of the Bride and Special Occasion Wholesale Dress Showroom

special occasion dresses nycHave you recently been invited to a wedding?  Spring and Summer weddings are upon us and guests must decide on what to where.  When selecting a special occasion dress there are a few tips to keep in mind.  First, let’s remember the cardinal rule: Never wear a white special occasion dress to a wedding unless you are the bride.

Okay, now that we got the obvious rule out of the way, some of the other tips may be a bit more subtle.  Do you think it’s a good idea to wear a black special occasion dress to a summer wedding?  It’s not.  Be bold, don’t bother playing it safe.  Black special occasion dresses can be used for a night on the town, but be bold and instead choose a bright special occasion dress to a summer wedding.

If you really want to make a hit this season, try a long, soft, floral print special occasion dress for a chic and trendy.  Blake and Company has many different special occasion dresses on display at our New York City Wholesale Special Occasion Dress Showroom.  We are the official dress showroom of Daymor Couture, Damianou, Ideas by Barbara, SIA SIA, Scaravelli, JSS Knitwear and VM by Mori Lee.

Special Occasion Dresses Steal the Show at the Oscars

special occasion dress nyAnne Hathaway’s dress selections at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards were stellar.  She added style to the Oscars in her special occasion dress choices.  Fashion fanatics look forward more to the red carpet arrivals than the show itself.  The latest special occasion dresses and gowns adorn the carpet for the whole world to see.  Special occasion dresses complete with feathers and décolletage line the red carpet.

The Academy Awards is a time for fashion to take center stage.  Special occasion dress choices are sometimes right on the money and other stars choose gowns that are unflattering to say the least. 

Jennifer Hudson, for example, chose a dress that did not compliment her body type.  In fact, the dress was distracting because of the lack of support on top.  Halle Berry, on the other hand, wore a special occasion dress that was a perfect match and accentuated her body type.

Women need to be in touch with their bodies.  Special occasion dresses should be selected based on making them look as beautiful as possible.  Most women at the Oscars have stylists to help them select special occasion dresses and give them advice on hair and make-up.  Unfortunately, most women who are not Hollywood actresses have to rely on their own insight when selecting a special occasion dress. 

Other winners at the Oscars include Mila Kunis and Jennifer Lawrence.  Cate Blanchett’s special occasion dress takes the cake for worst dressed.

This wedding is sure to be a star studded event as the finest special occasion dresses will be on display.  Sarandon is no stranger to gala events, but I’m sure that she won’t be digging in her closet to find a special occasion dress for this event.  As a former Hollywood starlet, it’s possible that once Sarandon heard about her daughter’s engagement she immediately began the hunt for the mother of the bride dress.

It will be very interesting to see what style mother of the bride dress the Oscar winning Sarandon will go for.  Maybe it will be honeysuckle – the color of the year for special occasion dresses in 2011.

Sarandon’s daughter, actress Eva Amurri, 25 got engaged to former Major League Soccer player Kyle Martino, 29.  Amurri’s father is Italian director Franco Amurri.

The up-and-coming actress, Eva Amurri, appeared in The Banger Sisters with her Oscar award winning mom and she has several movies in production.

Eva currently lives in California and mom Susan Sarandon spends much of her time in New York City.  Who knows – maybe Sarandon will stop by Blake and Company’s New York City Mother of the Bride Dress and Special Occasion Dress Showroom to check out the latest styles.

Special Occasion Dresses and Mother of the Bride Dresses Go Green!

environmentally-friendly-dressesGreen is among the latest trends at weddings – and I don’t mean the color green.  I am talking about the latest eco-friendly special occasion dresses and mother of the bride dresses.  Eco-friendly is in and the wholesale dress industry better take notice.  Not only are the dresses going green – but the wedding themes in general are becoming more environmentally-friendly.  Eco-conscious couples are turning towards donations towards charitable causes in lieu of wedding favors.  Free range chicken has made it onto the menu at recent weddings.  It only makes sense that special occasion dresses would follow suit.  It is a terrific idea for dress wholesalers to prepare themselves for the eco-conscious brides.  Special occasion dress wholesalers and mother of the bride dress wholesalers need to offer environmentally-friendly fabrics.  Some eco-friendly fabrics used to make special occasion dresses include organic cotton, silks, hemp and in extreme cases recycled newspaper.  (I still believe that the New Times is meant to read – not to wear as a special occasion dress.)

However special occasion dress wholesalers need to take notice that the terms “organic” and “eco-friendly” aren’t just for the grocery.  Going green has taken the fashion world by storm.  What makes special occasion dresses eco-friendly?  These special occasion dresses are made of biodegradable materials that do not harm the environment.

What was once considered the fashion of the hippies has emerged as a booming fashion industry.  Eco-friendly designers are special occasion dress lines have what it takes to continue being stylish for 2010 and beyond!
