According to fashion magazines and latest trends Emerald Green seems to be the colour of the year.
You can believe it or not, but actually there is a special reason for that: Pantone. This company is perhaps the icon of colours and it is they who get to choose the color that the entire world-wide fashion and design industry follow to set collections and trends.
Most of the trend watchers thought the deep ocean Monaco Blue, would have been the choice instead this year. But not at all, Pantone went for the green Emerald. So should we all say thanks to Pantone for this?
Anyway, decorating in 2013 is definitely going to be fun for lovers of green, and we are happy with that!

We’ve loved it so much since it made his apparence at the Wonderful World of Oz and named Emerald.
It immediately brings to mind precious gems, plus it is sophisticated and luxurious, it has a touch of vintage and it is timeless..
It seems like some colors have more staying power than others and this is the case with Emerald, as over the seasons, it is still up to the best choice.
Green is definitely a must in fashion collections, including wedding trends and home collections.

So whats the reason for that? According to Pantone press release, the official reason for choosing Emerald, Pantone 17-5641, is it “enhances our sense of well-being further by inspiring insight, as well as promoting balance and harmony,”
We must add: it is chic and sopisticated and almost perfect for any scheme. So yes, we can can imagine why our clients choose this pallette for their wedding day. Perhaps, small details, like green heels, or a green tie, or what about a green cake? .. We have choosen some images for you. Truly unique!

From sweet veils to romantic gowns, and vintage decors: brides have fallen for lace!
Every Winter and Spring, metres of beautiful lace make an appearance on the catwalks of the world.
It has been popular for over a hundred years, but never that glamorous. It is definitely trendy to say I DO with some lace on!
Romantic, sexy, classic, sophisticated, vintage or baby. Chantilly, macramé, rebrodé, in white and ivory with a pastel touch. Ornate and delicate: designers definitely know that lace is the perfect feminine touch.

Also very versatile, whilst lace is romantic in style, it can easily surprise you and turn into a something new.
Carefully mixed to make sure its not too much but also not to minimal. Choose soft colours, more towards pastels or vintage palette, like greens for more nostalgic themes or pinks and greys to evoke a vintage theme.

With Flowers you should go for very soft colours selection of wild flowers to reflect your theme. Consider using baby’s breath, orange blossoms, hydrangea, for example, and why not some fruit for an extra touch.

I just adored Kate Moss’s bohemian, 1920s-inspired wedding dress. But an original interpretation of this vintage vibe kept her John Galliano-designed gown fresh and even a little edgy. Although Kate was originally inspired by F Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and his wife Zelda’s Jazz Age style for her wedding vision, she put her own spin on things.
Whilst the ethereal Fitzgerald theme obviously inspired the beautifully embroidered veil, the hem is all about Kate’s own character – spangled with tiny golden paillettes and decorated with the beaded plumes of an imaginary phoenix, a creature that is “delicate and defiant, like Kate,” said Galliano.

Kate and her dress designer worked together to create her dream day – she says:
“I wanted it to be kind of dreamy and 1920s, when everything is soft-focus… That light and that kind of fun decadence. It’s rock-’n’-roll Great Gatsby!”
The result? A refreshing mix of old and new – of Kate and her groom’s rock’n'roll interests and delicate, retro references – something truly unique, just perfect for the Chic Weddings bride!

Looking for something similar? The English rose designer Alice Temperley embraces the same aesthetic with her feminine, floaty dress designs – and she’s just set up a bridal line! As the designer says, “People come in for something a bit more relaxed, not a normal bridal dress. They think of Temperley, and they think a bit more romantic and soft, and of a dress that will look as good on the dancefloor as down the aisle.” Here’s a sneak peek at the Ophelia collection…

When you go to New York for a short pleasant trip, you expect the best happening to you. Colours, images, chaos, work, a fast city rushing under your eyes while walking and enjoying a hot dog.
This time, I missed something… and maybe for the first time I noticed that Manhattan is missing that little creative side, which you can now find in Brooklyn. I had a long conversation with a woman living in THE island for more than 20 years and she confirmed that NY was different then. Artists, gangs and folks from the creative world would dine, seat to seat with high end top managers, bankers and lawyers. Nobody cared what the other was doing to survive, which type of job or business because NY was the city where dreams came true. And sadly, I missed this atmosphere. Big brands have now taken the lead, shops look all the same as any other city and only a few are spared. Space rental fees are very high and only big brands can afford them and still survive. This trend, unfortunately, will kill creativity, obliging the good creative minds to move somewhere else.
While surrending to this branded society, I was walking through the women’s department at Bedford and Goodman and… I have been illuminated!
Creations! FABRICS, LACES, RIBBONS, DREAMS!!! This is something I was hoping to find! Marvellous creations made by a Brazilian designer named Martha Medeiros. It might be that Martha is already famous in most of the Latin American countries but I was not aware of her existence until I have touched her jewels.
I have to admit that these are not coming at the cheapest price but one artist, among those millions lost out there, caught my attention. My favourite gown is this light pink and I thought it could be the perfect one for my wedding :)… but then I turned around and I found another one, which could also be the right one… a black one…and then another green…
Or maybe an Oscar de la Renta light blue…I am not sure anymore! At the end of my days in the city, I can say that these were the dresses which caught most of my attention. For one moment I wished I was in Brasil to discover more about their creative potential and powerful resources.

Is there anything more luxurious than beautifully crafted lingerie? The sumptuous silk and lace, the exquisite attention to detail… the almost-edible colours! – are all reasons we lust after these classy confections. There is simply no better confidence boost than the knowledge that you are rocking fabulous, flattering lingerie under your everyday outfit!
Traditionally, brides have tended to choose white for their wedding night. But with so many gorgeous shades and styles on offer, why not opt for something a little more eye-catching…?

Ah Spring, the pretty season where style takes the form of candy pastels and memories of happier times. If you’re lucky enough to be getting married this spring, how about making a Bollywood inspired statement? There are two takes on the bollywood style. First up you have the full on Bollywood glamour which requires lots of rich colour and golds, heavy fabrics, lots of swarovski crystals. Then there’s Vintage Bollywood Glamour. This style takes on a more muted palette that brings out the stunning details like delicate embroidery, soft silks and chiffon fabrics, vibrant floral arrangements and understated but chic decor. Here are some inspiring ideas:

The beauty of Vintage is that it never gets old. It will forever be a timeless collection of days when the world was simpler, when jewellery and hair bands were delicate, fabrics intricate, and every item had a sense of individuality and importance.
Magpie Vintage is a local London company that will design those special items for you on your day. Their items have a sense of class and timelessness, they hold a presence of a type of craftsmanship that seems to have been forgotten in our fast paced world. They remind us that that something “new” can also be something “old”.
