All eyes will be upon you when you choose a bright, scarlet gown that makes your skin glow and matches the color scheme of the season. If you love short, strapless gowns that give you the look of a Cosmo cover model, be sure to indulge in a hot design, such as the embellished red number shown above.

Simple and luxurious, the flattering lines of the plum-colored gown featured above will make the most of your curves on New Year’s Eve. This knee-length cocktail gown is the perfect backdrop for glittering necklaces, dramatic drop earrings, and chic high heels…so be sure to have fun with it – accessorize to the hilt and make a grand entrance on the night of December 31st!

Channel your inner goddess with this luscious, flowing scarlet number. A gorgeous halter neckline shows off your arms and throat, while a nipped-in waistline gives you the perfect hourglass silhouette. Striking and very grown-up, this dramatic red evening dress will make you feel like a queen on New Year’s Eve. This sort of dress doesn’t require a lot of accessories – however, it does require sophisticated makeup (neutral tones always look elegant with a red gown) and the perfect holiday hairstyle. Metallic high heels in a strappy sandal style will add a touch of bold style to your ensemble!

Golden Girl…

 New Year’s Eve is the perfect time to get a little more flamboyant with your personal style. After all, women naturally gravitate towards metallic and sparkly evening dresses during the holidays. If you’re feeling daring, show off your glowing skin with a golden evening dress that really stands out. This gown is strapless, sexy, and sure to stop traffic. Accessorize with nude platform heels that make your legs look endless, and top off your New Year’s party outfit with a choker necklace that calls attention to this sizzling dress’ plunging neckline.

Not for the faint of heart, this beautiful design will add warmth to the skin – to get the perfect hair and makeup look, go for burnished bronze eye shadows, a touch of light bronzer on the forehead, cheekbones, and bridge of the nose – then, add a neutral lip color topped with a dollop of glistening golden lip gloss. Your hair should be soft, silky, and volumized…

Runway Ready…

Black and white is pure chic on New Year’s! If you’re into Paris runway style that echoes the look of Chanel or Yves Saint Laurent, you’ll love this whimsical style. A pretty strapless bodice features delicate pin-tucks and an elegant bow. Designed to highlight your decolletage, this clever evening gown comes complete with a high-waisted black skirt that is so slimming. Accesorize with a tousled up-do and scarlet lips to keep the whole look stylized and graphical. Nude heels will work – so will basic black, or any subtle, antique metallic. Jewelry is really optional, but drop earrings will look fabulous, as long as they are sleek and sophisticated.

Fixing the Moms’ Evening Dresses Dilemma

Mothers love to be pampered on their daughter’s or son’s wedding even if they do not make it an issue. But for your wedding day, let your moms dress up in evening dresses and they’ll love it. After all, the wedding is their special day too.

Behind the Wedding Preparations

Elegant evening dresses are always associated with the brides and their bridesmaids. Seldom is it connected with the mothers of the bridal couple. Here’s what, even if your moms are in their late fifties or sixties, they can still wear chic dresses with panache. It wouldn’t be tough looking for the appropriate dresses; stores have an array of the right mix of dresses for all ages and there would be dresses that moms would be willing to wear with pride.

Moms usually favor simple lines or the uncluttered look; but at the advice of the fashion stylist they can venture into new styles and match their dresses with the right accessories and hairstyles. Although they are all set to experiment with the latest trends in evening dresses, comfortable wear still tops their list. However, brides and grooms should watch out for the dress choices of their moms. If one is going to splurge on a caliber evening dress, the other should also be dressed up with a fancy designer label.

The two moms could offer to buy their own dresses or the bridal couple could offer to buy their respective moms their evening dress. This arrangement should be agreed on early during the planning stages to deter any misunderstanding or should you say, hurt feelings? If you are going to buy your moms their dresses, be clear about the budget for the dress. Your moms may put up some amount if they want a particular dress that goes beyond the agreed budget.

The Shopping

When the bride starts shopping for her wedding dress, she should set a different shopping schedule for her mom and the groom could ask a sister or cousin to take his mom to a store that carries a line of designer labels for evening dresses. Both moms should have agreed to some dress expectations – length or color of the dress. Their dresses should complement their styles not clash for attention. So early on the wedding planning, careful attention should be given to the mother of the bride and groom.

Moms can be defiant and won’t settle for anything they don’t like. They are ready to scour the whole city to find the dress that they’ll love at first sight, whether they find it in a yard sale or in a ritzy NY shop. Most often brides let their moms tag along when shopping for the bridal dress. It is not advisable to let mom look at evening dresses when at the same you are shopping for your wedding dress. This would be stressful for both of you.

Time the shopping for your mom’s evening dress separately so you can focus on your mom’s needs. You can help her browse the offerings from different online bridal shops or magazines to give her ideas for her evening dress. Invite your groom’s mom if it is possible for her and your mom to shop together for their evening dresses. The shopping can give them time to know each other and enjoy the outing together.

Shopping for evening dresses and your wedding dress in stylish bridal shops is fun and exciting. For your flowers for wedding, Toronto bridals have these too, which is also convenient. Visit BestforBride.com today for all your wedding needs.

The Bridesmaid Dress That’s Worth Your While

With tons of bridesmaid dresses vying for your attention, it can be a circus choosing the best bridesmaid dress. What’s worse is ending up with a horrible dress you cannot return or exchange for another.

Unsure About the Style?

Unless you are always glued to fashion magazines and stalking fashion models, you might not have any idea what would look good on you. Then when you are asked to be a bridesmaid, you can’t think of anything and hope that anything will be alright. Wrong. You must choose a bridesmaid dress that looks good on you and you look good in it. That is the secret of fashion models.

bridesmaid dresses

Instead of trusting what looks good on ramp models, check out what looks good on you. Choosing the right dress will be worth your while and your money. Your bridesmaid dress should highlight your best features and camouflage your imperfections. There’s nothing wrong about asking the sales clerk for a dress that gives a slim silhouette if you are a size 12 or a dress that makes you look tall than your 5’8″ height because bridesmaids all over are doing the same thing.

If you want someone to do the critiquing over the dress, ask your fashionista friends to come along to the bridal shop. Luckily, bridal shops have specialists who can help you tremendously when choosing a style that fits and makes you look gorgeous. These people have the keen eye for details and have been in the business for long that just one look at you they can figure out which fashion style is for you.

Practical Tips

Fashion magazines have every tip for a perfect dress sense. Basically it has to do with the body shape, weight, and coloring. With the basics tucked under your belt, it becomes systematic when shopping for dresses with a particular style you like or want to try. One thing about shopping for dresses is the amazing variety; it really is fun shopping for dresses but you must be able to buy the right dress for your bridesmaid role. Stick to the basic rules when looking at a bridesmaid dress presented to you.

Don’t waste your time looking dresses not your size. Go directly to the rack for your size and from there on choose particular styles that attract you. Try them on for size and ask your friends how they like it. The bridal specialist will be on hand to give you advice and may offer you other selections whilst pointing out what makes you look good in each dress.

If you want to do your shopping online, then it’s simpler and convenient. The dresses come in specific sizes and styles, and you can click the color chart for a particular shade of red, blue, green, or pink. Again, don’t waste your time plowing through hundreds of dresses. You must have a style of bridesmaid dress in your mind before you happily click the mouse.

While shopping online, take note of the fabric used for the dress. If you are allergic to synthetic fabrics avoid them. There are dresses available in various fabrics available – silk, sateen, organdy, lace, and chiffon. For your bridesmaid dress, take the time to shop but shop smart so you won’t waste your time and your money.
