Red has been popping up everywhere as an alternative to the white wedding dress.

Here is a little history lesson on the Red wedding gown thanks to Luxurious Wedding Style Report.

Throughout the ages, Red was the traditional wedding dress color. Red is the color of good luck and auspiciousness. White was never even considered until 1840 when Queen Victoria had a white wedding gown made to incorporate some white lace she owned. Wanting to be like the Queen, women soon adopted the White Wedding Gown.

Roman brides wore fiery red veils. Today, Greek, Albanian and Armenian brides wear red veils. Chinese brides wear red wedding gowns and are carried to the ceremony in a red litter. Then the bride walks on a red carpet and is greeted by the groom who lifts her red veil. In ancient Russia people also loved the color red which symbolized joy, sun and beauty by wearing a red color sundress.

Roman brides wore red to protect themselves from evil. Brides in the middle ages wore red as a mark of the high status and many Indian brides still hold to this tradition. Chinese brides still wear red on their wedding day as a expression of good luck.

This OUI for MATTISON by Malan Breton gown was the finale for the Malan Breton Fall 2011 Collection.

Peacock feathers are a great way to bring vibrant color and bold texture to your design. They’re versatile, too – they can be used in several looks, whether you’re going for vintage elegance,  modern eclectic, or want to add a touch of whimsy to your wedding. The key to peacock feathers is to use them minimally as an occasional bold accent or inspiration.

This peacock-feather hairpiece looks vintage and romantic, and would be a great accent of color next to a white bridal gown:

In a bouquet, peacock feathers add softness and texture, and are a great contrasting color:

We love lace, and are seeing it everywhere lately… in envelopes, wreathes, and of course dresses. Lace has always been a popular wedding trend, but we love the way it is being translated in to every wedding element.

THE Dress can be different for everybody. It can be long, lacy, pouffy, sleek, white, ivory… maybe even aqua blue chiffon if that’s what suits you. But out of allllll the beautiful wedding dresses out there to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming trying to pick just one! Here, Priscilla of Boston has created a profile quiz to help you narrow down your own style and therefore make the wedding gown shopping a little easier as well. Going in with some ideas of what makes you feel like you will help oodles when searching through all that silk, tulle, taffeta and lace (and even the aqua blue chiffon).

Priscilla says I’m a “classic” bride (go figure). What are you??

One of our brides came to us recently, and presented the idea of having a bouquet created made form vintage jewelry in a set color palette. Now, this vintage trend is all around us! We especially love the work of Fantasy Floral Design, who specialize in vintage jewelry bouquets. A few examples of their beautiful work:

Although you must find the right venue for this trend, we love the idea of Wall Words to communicate a beautiful wedding monogram or favorite quote of the couple. Just another beautiful way for the couple to communicate to their guests.

Here is an image from one of our weddings last season:

And a few more we love:

What is a wedding without a little sparkle? We’ve love bubbles, petals, and confetti, but what about sparklers to greet the bride and groom? One of our couples last year danced their first dance surrounded by love and sparks in the dark…

Here are a few more images of brides and grooms making an exciting exit!

We love when couples allow us to think outside the box when it comes to capturing their guests on their wedding. We love the photo frame wall trend, because with a stationed photographer or camera and a carefully constructed backdrop, guests can have their personalities really shine and create a memorable photo book for the bride and groom. A few of our favorites:
