Modern Bridal Style

Modern Bridal FashionRecently I went to the premier of a new bridal collection by Amanda Jennings, the designer behind MinkMaids bridal fashion.The event was held at Zita Bridal Salon, a Milwaukee institution for leading trends in gowns and accessories for today’s bride. Also included in this wonderful event was bridal-accessory designer, Jackie Barutha of JAXIE. It was a pleasure to preview this amazing collection that was full of ideas I’ve honestly never seen before. A floral-print gown for a bride? Sure! Metallics and sequins? Yes! Headbands and tie-on bling belts for the gowns? Absolutely!

Please take a look at my photos in the slideshow below and you’ll see some great looks for both the high-end, or DIY bride alike!

Trends to spot:

  • Gold metallic fabric
  • White French sequin fabric
  • Bias-cut gowns
  • Floral patterns
  • Headbands instead of a traditional veil
  • Tie-on delicate belts
  • Unique accessories 
  • Clean lines
  • Non-traditional fabrics
  • Sleek-versus-billowing gowns
  • Statement necklaces and earrings
  • Subtle sparkle

An important part in making your wedding day memorable is feeling great about the way you look! My favorite gown in this collection was the gold-metallic strapless dress with beaded detail draped on the arms.  To me it felt like a cross between Taylor Swift chic, and Game of Thrones medieval shine.  (Note how the belt ties on!) The bias-cut sequin gown was also a classical silhouette reminiscent of Jean Harlow and old Hollywood glamour. (Note the Grecian-like headband of leaves.)  

Your wedding day is what you make of it, so now is the time to think outside of the bridal box with these stunning ideas!
