Transformation – Sparkle Bridal Couture

Sparkle Bridal Couture says that separates will be a big trend in 2017. With so many options, committing to one look for the big day is a tough decision, but separates allow brides to transform their looks throughout the day. These looks use a ball gown skirt to achieve a casual look with an everyday top or can take a more formal ceremony look to a sleek look for the reception.

Out of a Dream – Lazaro 3607

Our friends at House of Fashion Bridal Salon and Tuxedos says 2017 is all about the skirt. Brides are going to love detachable skirts, over-top-skirts, sweeping skirts and mixed media skirts. This top pick for 2017 features a circular tulle skirt accented with lace appliques and trimmed with horsehair. The skirt may be the scene-stealer, but the bodice is an award-winning co-star.
