Our mother of the bride collection, Intermezzo, features a wide array of classically elegant gowns. Enchanting shapes and fashionable accents make each of these dresses special in their own ways.

Modest designs are mixed in with fun and flirty options to give you a large selection fo choices to fit any mood or personal style. You will find gowns featuring everything from subtle chiffon to shiny sequins.  

Temple Maids
This particular collection, also listed with our bridesmaid dresses, offers another array of gorgeous gowns to choose from. Our Temple collections provide a bit more coverage for the modest girl, but without appearing old-fashioned. There are a variety of skirt lengths available, and you will find understated styles alongside numbers that offer a bit more razzle-dazzle.  

Temple Prom
Just because these dresses are listed with our prom section, don't think that means they are only for the younger crowd. The sophisticated designs look every bit as wonderful on a mature woman as they do on a young lady. You will find incredible silhouettes with both long and short skirts. Among the other amazing details on many of these dresses are beautiful beading and lace-up corset backs.

How To Choose The Most Magnificent Colors For Your Wedding

Color plays a very big part in the look and feel of your wedding. Lots of color displayed everywhere can really make your beautiful white wedding dress stand out. A more neutral palette with touches of color here and there can also be gorgeous with a wonderful flow. 

Your color choice will be evident in many different aspects of the wedding: bridesmaid dresses, stationary, florals, table decorations, favors, groomsmen accessories, and possibly even the wedding cake. Some brides even like to pull the wedding color into their own fashion with the accessories like a sash or jewelry. There is an infinite number of choices to pick from, so today Venus Bridal has a few tips to help you narrow them down.

Stick with what you love
If you have had a favorite color your entire life, so much so that your friends immediately think of you when that color is mentioned, then that one is the obvious choice. A wedding celebrates love, and surrounding yourself with things that you love only makes sense. Then your only decision will be which shades to use, and if you will add in a few complementary colors.

For those of you that don't think you have a favorite color, take inspiration from the things you have around you regularly. Open your closet and take notice of what colors pop up the most, or look around your home and see if one particular color keeps catching your eye. If you love the beach, go for ocean blues and sandy browns, or if you prefer the country, lean towards earthy tones like that of the trees and flowers found there.  

Convey a feeling
The use of color is an excellent way to set the mood for your special day. Light, airy pastels seem romantic and sweet, while bolder, bright shades give off a livelier vibe. Red can make you think passion, yellow - warmth and happiness, and blues are often serene. Don't feel like you have to stick with one feeling throughout the day. Use romantic shades of a color during the ceremony, then take that same color and jazz it up with darker shades to add excitement to the reception.

Take cues from the venue
Some wedding venues are like big, blank slates before you begin decorating, but there are quite a few that already have a main color scheme in place. If it's a color that you like the look of, that will work perfectly. If it's a color you can't stand, you may want to consider looking for a different venue. Initially, you will want your decorations to blend well with the decor that is already set in the room. For weddings taking place outdoors, let the nature around you inspire the colors that you choose.

Borrow from the season
Even if your wedding will not be an outdoor one, nature can still be a wonderful inspiration for the colors that you choose. Warm colors in the fall, bright whites and metallic shades in the winter, delicate pastels in spring, and bright, sunny hues in the summer. Holidays are wonderful places to turn to influence your decision too. Reds and greens around Christmas, or even deep purples and blues. New Year's Eve weddings may be done in a formal way with blacks, silvers, and golds. Valentine's Day could have romantic pinks or bold, sexy reds.    

At the end of the day, you really don't need to overthink it. Keep your eyes open for colors that draw your attention when you are out and about during the day. Once you take notice of that, your color scheme will begin to emerge. This wedding is for both the bride and the groom, so work together to find the colors that you both want to incorporate into this special day. 

Once the decision is made, you'll be ready when the bridesmaid dress shopping begins. Venus Bridal has a large selection of colors, fabrics, and styles to choose from. Many of the color choices that we offer work beautifully together if you want to incorporate the mismatched bridesmaid look. Our dress color charts may even help to inspire your final color choice. It's definitely worth a look!

Fabulous Fall Wedding Inspiration

Autumn is just around the corner, and fall has become a very popular wedding season in many parts of the country. The rich colors, vibrant aromas, and savory flavors of the season are all wonderful fall wedding inspiration. If you are getting married this fall, you still have time to incorporate a few of these ideas. If you are newly engaged, then maybe some of these ideas will get your creative juices flowing for next year.  

Fashion

Venus Bridal is all about timeless wedding dresses, glamorous bridesmaid gowns and stylish special occasion dresses. No matter what season we are talking about, our minds turn to fashion first. 

Autumn can be unpredictable temperature-wise in most places. It's a good idea to choose dresses that will be comfortable in warm weather, but also have a plan in case it gets chilly. Statement furs showed up on fall fashion runways this year. Wearing one could be a great way to both stay warm and add a fun pop of color to your wedding day look. 

Metallics have been popular this year in wedding decor and fashion. Bridesmaid dresses can be your shimmery way to incorporate this trend, or you can choose to add it through jewelry. Rose gold and yellow gold are perfect to convey a warm fall feel. Another popular item on the runway this year was big, chunky chokers. Whether you can get away with this all depends on the bridal gown you have chosen to wear.     

Colors

Fall brings to mind all of the colors of turning leaves, pumpkins, and apples. Many people this year are leaning toward a romantic Victorian look to their bridal clothing. A nice way to switch things up a little bit is to throw a few muted pastel colors in with the darker tones of the season. 

Flowers

Flowers and plants in natural colors rather than bright blooms work well for a fall wedding. Think about the beautiful coloring and elements that occur in nature that you would see visiting a pumpkin patch. Deep oranges, rich reds, golden yellows, and silky browns and tans. Plants such as succulents are beautiful table decor, and they can even be used for boutonnieres. A few flowers that you will find in season, which means the prices won't be outrageous, are: 

• Dahlia
• Gerbera Daisy
• Alstroemeria
• Calla Lily
• Chrysanthemum
• Sunflower

Once you've settled on a wedding date, make finding your wedding dress one of the first tasks on your list. Finding it early will allow you to get exactly what you want, and your bridal gown can be a big influence on the look of your entire ceremony and reception. Venus Bridal offers an incredible selection of gorgeous dresses for every season of the year. No matter when you decide to say "I do," - Fall, Winter, Spring, or Summer - we've got the perfect dresses for you and your wedding party.

A Rainbow of Color Choices for Your Wedding

There are a few different methods for choosing the colors that you will be using for your wedding. One thing that should factor into that decision is the color that you want your bridesmaids to wear. Venus Bridal has a very large selection when it comes to available colors for our beautiful bridesmaid gowns.

The trend in the past was to always put bridesmaids in the exact same dress. That look can still be beautiful today, but there are many brides that choose to put their bridal party in different looks with a coordinating theme. This could be a variety of styles all in the same color, matching gowns in a variety of complimentary colors, or a mix of varying shades of one main color.  

Mixing Styles

Not everyone looks good in every dress, so allowing your bridesmaids to wear different styles is a good way to make sure they all look their best and feel comfortable. You will want to make sure there is one unifying element, like color, to tie all of the looks together. 

Keep in mind that different fabrics, even when dyed with the same, may vary slightly in color. Compare swatches closely before ordering bridesmaid dresses, or insist that all of the gowns be made from the same fabric. That way you know they will all match when the orders arrive. 

Mixing Colors

Another option is to pick one style for all of the bridesmaids to wear, but put each on them in a different color, or varying shades of one color. The important thing is that they all compliment each other. Consult a color wheel to refresh your art class memories about which ones work the best together. You can also use the season or the wedding venue to pull color inspiration.

The Rainbow of Venus

You will see the wide variety of color choices for your bridesmaid dresses on our Venus Bridal website color chart. There are far too many to list here in the blog, but you will see names and samples on that page. Please realize, though, that depending on the way you are viewing our site, colors may vary slightly due to different screen resolutions. 

Use the website as a guideline to help you with your main choices, but visit one of our authorized Venus Bridal retailers to see fabric swatches in person for the most accurate color matching. The colors that you choose for you wedding can help to tell a story and set the mood. Once you figure out the way you want the overall event to look, Venus Bridal is here to make sure your wedding day fashions fit into that picture perfectly.
