Trend and Inspiration: Orange symbolizes love and vitality

Orange trees are a symbol of love and marriage in many cultures.
Brides traditionally wear orange blossoms in their hair or carry them in their bouquet at their wedding also orange blossoms are often part of the decoration on a wedding cake.
Tid-bit of history; Queen Victoria was given a coronet of gold and enamel orange blossoms by her husband Albert. When their children were born, he had a jeweler add tiny green oranges to the coronet. You may also find oranges in Renaissance paintings of married couples, one of the most famous is Jan Van Eyck’s “Wedding Portrait of the Arnolfini”.
The color orange symbolizes vitality. People who like the color orange are said to be thoughtful and sincere.
Lady luck’s color is orange.

The latest and greatest emerging fad is colored wedding dresses! Colored bridal veils have been running right along the side with the colored wedding dress trend. I have never been one to be afraid of color and I simply adore this idea!
From the top left is a stunning bride in her equally stunning purple wedding gown! View more of Aimee’s dress and her gorgeous real wedding photos at Simply Bloom Wedding Photography Blog.
The gown on the top right is a gorgeous Black dress that makes use of a variety of wonderful fabrics. Doesn’t she look chic?! According to the experts, women feel amazing in a black dress and I am one for a wedding dress that you feel comfortable in. What do you think?
The bottom top left is the infamous Gwen Stefani, her dress features both classic white and just a hint of pink, her favorite color, made by Christian Dior.
On the bottom left is a magical photograph by Gordon McGowan a super talented photographer from the UK. I first saw this dress via Intimate Weddings Blog, the brides Blue wedding dress is stunning! This photograph took my breath away!
The Multi fairytaile colored wedding dress was first spotted by me on Offbeat Bride’s Blog. The dress was originally a prom dress bought by the bride at a dress shop in downtown L.A. To read her story visit HERE.
The bottom picture is Emerson, by EmersonMade. I am a fan! She is wonderful and makes gorgeous fabric flowers, clothing and much more. I love the photograph for two reasons. #1 What girl wouldn’t want to lay in a gorgeous dress along side a bed a beautiful flowers, real or fake? #2 Yes, the dress is gorgeous! Emerson looks like a beautiful bride and I don’t even know if it is a wedding gown or not, but I love it and think it would make a gorgeous gown and the colors she has combined together would make the perfect color palette for any wedding! Seriously, be sure to shop her site, TONS of goodies over there!
This real wedding is darling! The images by Di Bezi Photography are wonderful and Katie, (the bride) is beautiful in her frothy yellow wedding gown made by Vera Wang! Image found on Brooklyn Bride’s Blog! Be sure to read more about Katie and Michael AND to see more of this gorgeous gown on Brooklyn Bride’s blog.
Morocco and Rhajastan
Friday, March 12th, 2010Lavish, decadent and beautifully unrestrained is what I think of when I look at Amanda Wakeley’s bridal gowns. The photography is stunning. I picked my favorites from Amanda’s Morocco line :
Strapless dress with folded ribbon detailing on the bust cups and layered silk georgette skirt. {My fav!}
V-necked georgette dress, embellished with gunmetal chains {gun metal chains!-SEXY!}
Strapless silk satin, corseted dress with pleated waist detail and full skirt {The gown looks so creamy dreamy!}
From her Rahjastan line I picked this one:
Silk georgette halterneck dress with Cleopatra beading detail {absolutely a dream gown-seriously gorgeous!}
I am positive any woman would feel like a goddess in any one of Amanda Wakeley’s gowns. They are so beautiful there needs to be another word to call them besides gowns or dresses. Seriously, can you think of another word? Amanda also has a pretty swanky jewelry line, some killer shoes and much more! You must check out her website! www.AmandaWakeley.com
Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend and happy-happy Friday! TGIF!
