L'ORANGE

Happy Sunday. Here's a new way of thinking of that warm summer color between red and yellow: If bright orange is over powering to you, go for gradual muted tones melting into variations of coral and sherbet . . .

Muse Board: An Americana Wedding


ACCESSORIZING 101

The simpler the gown, the more ornate the accessories can be. Likewise the more ornate the gown, the simpler the accessories. Hats, veils, fascinators, shoes, belts, gloves and bling all fall into the range of trimmings that can compliment your overall look. The paraphernalia with this sophistocated wedding ensemble is all in the silver/white range and includes a handbag, hat, earrings and shoes.

The derby above is going to really jazz up your ensemble and add sophistication and fun. A great choice if you want to look chic and get around easily without dragging a long, flowing veil around all day.

Lately we're finding more handbags paired up with bridal gowns. Once upon a time the bridal purse was held open by the bride for cold hard cash and guests dropped their wad as they 'paid' their respects to the newlyweds. Gone are those days and with the exception of a few cultures, the bridal purse is pretty much now what it is in everyday life: an accessory used for a compact, a small comb and lipstick . . .
