Ruffle some Feathers...




What is it about ruffles? From flower inspired to deconstructed and jagged, with bling or feathers or without, they are everywhere right now, and there is just something about what they do for a dress! They add instant oomph and drama, but there's just something so darn romantic and feminine about even the craziest concoction that just makes you want to get married tomorrow... at least if you're me : )

Some people worry about the trend factor, that in a year or two there will be no more ruffles, but I really don't see that happening. There are always little changes and innovations, but 1) Bridal fashion changes more slowly than regular fashion and 2) There really isn't any one trend that the bridal industry follows these days. There is so much variety, and brides are all looking for such different things, that you really don't have to worry about having the experience of everyone who was married in say, the 80's or even the 90's. The bridal industry is so much more varied now.

So, if you dig it, embrace the ruffled/textured look and fear not. Ruffle it up.
