Happy President's Day, my dears! I hope you enjoyed the First Lady Feature! Today's Modest Monday is all about a trend that's plagued the bridal runways: capes. Whether short or long, beaded or lace, graceful capes have floated into the world of bridal fashion. Don't want to drag around a floor length cape? A light and whimsical capelet is the solution to that problem. That's a wrap lovelies!
-C. Don't get me wrong: I adore the traditional long dress. But a tea or waltz length gown truly speaks the 1950's, when a-line silhouettes were all the rage. It provides the bridal feel without the hassle of a long and heavy dress. Tea length gowns allow a bride to be extra comfortable on her big day and still look like a bride. That's a wrap lovelies!
-C. Every girl wants to feel like a princess on her wedding day. The ball gown is a classic wedding dress silhouette that speaks feminine and luxury. The epitome of wedding dresses stands out from the rest with its volume and extravagant train. You're sure to be the belle of the ball in a ball gown! That's a wrap lovelies!
-C. The epitome of dainty is lace. Delicate, beautiful lace. This fabric has been a staple in bridal fashion since bridal fashion existed. A true veteran of wedding dresses, lace's romance and feminine charm has graced thousands, if not millions of bridal gowns in the world. This post is for you, lace. Keep being...well, lace! If you still haven't "Let it Go", here's a gorgeous lace wedding dress by Illume Gowns. Check out the Frozen inspired shoot on Wedding Chicks or on the Illume Gowns blog! Interested in the amazing gown? See here! What's a tribute to lace without mentioning its past? Vintage dresses were laden in lace! That's a wrap lovelies!

-C. What's light, whimsical and oh-so-lovely? The answer my lovelies is tulle. It's been bustled, ruffled, bedazzled, you name it! This simple net fabric has been used in bridal for decades and is still a go-to for many brides. The cloud effect it gives off is absolutely stunning. From mermaid dresses to the ever popular ball gown, tulle is one fabric to take advantage of! That's a wrap lovelies!
-C. It is a huge trend in bridal fashion for designers to create dresses that are not white. Many designers, although they hate to say it, believe that not many women look good in white, much less in ivory. Now many beautiful gowns are tinted in gorgeous shades of blush, sea foam, lavender, and the list goes on! Sometimes even just a pop of color is enough to wow! Remember this amazing bride! The black accent is so chic! That's a wrap lovelies!
