Mother of the Bride Dress and Special Occasion Dress Tips to Accentuate the Hourglass Figure

November 21, 2010 By blakean

Special occasion dress wholesalers and mother of the bride dress wholesalers should know how to make a woman look her best. Mothers of the bride or mother of the groom with an hourglass body type have to be dressed with specific criteria to make them look their best. Generally, women with hourglass figures have equal bust and hip measurements and a much narrower waist. Also, a mother of the bride with an hourglass figure will usually have larger breasts, full hips and thighs, and a short waist.

When selecting a special occasion dress for a mother of the bride with such a figure it would be wise to opt for V-neck tops and blouses with a scoop neckline. This type of cut on a special occasion dress will typically slim the chest and neck while giving the mother of the bride a thinner and smaller appearance. It is also a good idea to choose a top that is lighter in color and a darker color for the bottom half. This will help to accentuate the thin waist.

Soft and light fabrics are preferable to suit the hourglass figure and a sash or belt may be a good choice as well.

By dressing mothers of the bride in special occasion dresses that match their body shape, not only will your clients look better, but so will you.

The Wedding of the Century May Be Just Around the Corner – Do You Know What Dresses Your Clients Will Be Wearing?

November 9, 2010 By blakean

Celebrity weddings are one thing, Kate Middleton’s wedding will be the one of the most celebrated weddings of the century. What? You’ve never heard of Kate Middleton. She has been Prince William’s girlfriend for the past 9 years. She is also on track to become Prince William’s wife.

It seems that the couple is finally ready to announce their engagement. Middleton has been giving signs as of late that she is very much the Royal bride in waiting. At various special occasions in the Royal circles, she has been having custom made special occasion dresses made.

Due to the hefty pricetags, these one of a kind special occasion dresses are not for everyone. Clients who want to look like a million bucks without spending a million should turn to couture special occasion dresses and gowns by Daymor, Damianou, Ideas by Barbara, SIA SIA, Scaravelli, JSS Knitwear and VM by Mori Lee.

Middleton has been turning to the same special occasion dress designers used by Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Keira Knightley, Eva Mendes and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

Blake and Company’s New York Wholesale Special Occasion Dress Showroom has plenty of wonderful styles to make your clients look like superstars. At our NYC Wholesale Special Occasion Dress Showroom you can find stylish dresses to be worn for daytime events and evening cocktail parties.

Rumor has it that Kate’s mother, Carole Middleton, a former stewardess, has been preparing for a June or early July 2011 wedding.

Official word from the Royal Palace is that there is no official word, but that hasn’t stopped a number of leading caterers from submitting wedding proposals.

While Kate and Prince William’s friends maintain that they are unofficially engaged – custom dictates that Kate must wait patiently for Prince William to ask his grandmother, the Queen for permission to make the announcement official.

From past comments, Prince William has made it clear in previous comments that he is not planning a wedding in the Queen’s diamond jubilee year and he has mentioned a quiet wedding location, perhaps in Scotland.

Scotland or England, this wedding is sure to be the wedding of the century and it may be a good idea to come check out the latest styles of special occasion dresses at Blake and Company’s NYC wholesale showroom – just in case you end up with an Royal invitation.

Latest Trends in Wholesale Mother of the Bride Dresses and Special Occasion Gowns and Dresses

November 7, 2010 By blakean

Wholesale mother of the bride dress vendors should make themselves aware of the fashions that are expected to make a splash this season. Not too long ago, most mother of the bride dresses used to be beige in color. However, today pastels and even navy blue mothers of the bride or groom dresses have joined the list of acceptable colors. Today’s special occasion dresses and gowns offer even more ways for mothers of the bride to express themselves. Other colors that have become great options for mothers of the bride or groom are purples, greens and earth tones.

A removable jacket can do wonders for a mother of the bride dress. Mothers of the bride or groom can remove their jackets for a whole new look. Mother of the bride dresses are also delving into various sleeve lengths.

Mothers of the bride who wear plus size dresses should select tiered skirts as they can be flattering to a woman who is going for a slimmer look.

Whether its missy or plus size or every size in between, floor length mothers of the bride or groom dresses are out of fashion this season. Instead, clients can choose from a variety of hemlines that have been appearing in the latest mothers of the bride or groom fashions. Cocktail-length mothers of the bride dresses, knee-length mothers of the bride dresses, and handkerchief hemmed mothers of the bride dresses are all great choices this season. For a client who is feeling more daring, the hi-lo dress lengths featuring a high hemline in the front and a long one in the back is a superb selection.

Another trend in the mother of the bride wholesale dress industry is eco-friendly fabrics. As of late, more and more brides are opting for environmentally-friendly weddings. It is an excellent idea for dress wholesalers to offer the options of environmentally-friendly fabrics when it comes to mothers of the bride or groom dresses.

Mother of the Bride Humor

October 11, 2010 By blakean

Mother of the Bride wedding humor is upon us as the Bridal Couture Event of the Year is about to hit New York City. Be sure to visit Blake and Company’s wholesale mother of the bride and special occasion dress showroom.

Here’s the joke:

A beautiful young bride was excited as her wedding day was fast approaching. She was flying high and nothing was going to burst her bubble – especially not her parents’ nasty divorce.

Her mother had discovered the perfect mother of the bride dress to wear for the special occasion. Her mother was going to be the best dressed mother of the bride in the history of mother of the bride dresses!

However, a week before the wedding, the bride found out that her father’s hot new young wife had purchased the same exact dress as her mother.

What would you do? Well, the young bride calmly explained the whole situation and politely asked her father’s new young wife to pick out a different special occasion dress.

The young wife refused to get a different dress and demanded that the mother of the bride change her dress instead.

The bride didn’t know what to do, so she turned to her mother for advice. Her mother told her not to worry about it, that she would just choose another dress.

Her daughter was thrilled and together they went shopping for a new dress and they found one that was gorgeous!

After purchasing the dress, which was kind of expensive, the daughter asked her mother if she needed the receipt to return the original dress. The mother told the daughter that she decided to keep both dresses.

The daughter was surprised and asked the mom what occasion would she be able to wear such a fancy dress to.

The mother just smiled and told her that she had the perfect occasion to wear the original dress to – the rehearsal dinner, the night before the wedding!

It seems that the mother of the bride got the last laugh.

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.
