Color Trend

The hot new color trend is Purple and Chocolate. Deep chocolate brown is being called the new black. Paired with deep, vibrant purple this combination is a knockout for a late summer wedding. Bronze is brilliant neutral that plays well with the power shades.

3-D Flowers

Bold blooms are hot, hot, hot! 3-D flowers are seen on ball gowns, bags, shoes and jewelry. If you are a romantic bride, these buds are for you!
