The Perfect Combo
Our new collection of bridal cocktail and informal dresses have only been with us a short period of time, and already we’re smitten. Nothing elevates the vibe of an already fabulous wedding reception quite like the bride emerging in a fabulous second outfit. It signals to your guests “we’re just getting started :)”
Our brides have been loving this new collection, and we can’t wait to help even more brides find their perfect After Party dress this February! We love the challenge of finding the perfect cocktail counterpoint to a bride’s gown - it’s all about translating the vibe of your bridal look into an after party look without trying to copy your gown exactly. With the right finesse, you’ll feel equally as fabulous as you did in your wedding gown with the added benefit of comfort and dance-ability.
While there are a multitude of gown/after party combinations to explore, here are a few of our favorite new arrival bridal gowns paired with an After Party look that makes for a match made in heaven!
When you wear a fab gown with a detachable tulle sleeve, it only seems natural that your reception look should do the same :) We love the look of Cameron by Made with Love paired with Lottie from Untamed Petals. The plunged neckline and glittery texture compliment each other perfectly, and with the detachable elements on each dress, it’s like having four looks instead of two!
Style D3631 from Essense of Australia is a timeless classic, with her crisp fabric and elegant off-the-shoulder detail. We think she pairs perfectly with the Anastasia mini-dress by Untamed Petals. We’re thinking a pearl-encrusted heel for look #1, and pearl embellished sneakers for look #2 :)
They say birds of a feather flock together…which is why we think these two feathery frocks were destined to be worn by the same bride. Style D3604 by Essense of Australia is a wow-factor gown that requires an equally wow-factor second look. The feather embellished skirt of the Celine dress makes for a perfect party dress for your reception, or as a “teaser” to your bridal look at your rehearsal or bachelorette :)
We love the regal vibes of the neckline on style 1517 by Martina Liana - so chic. Which is why we love the idea of carrying that neckline over to a second look with Clara by Untamed Petals. And don’t worry about being too covered-up; the flirty hemline of this cocktail number is perfect for the dance floor.
We love a “forever modern” style: something that feels fresh-yet-timeless you’ll love for decades to come. The “Florence” gown by Made With Love embodies this perfectly, so naturally she needs a short counterpart that does the same! The Frankie dress is the type of style that can go anywhere: to a chic bridal shower or a rooftop rehearsal dinner. We love the idea of pairing her with a headband when you’re ready to hit the dance floor!
And last but not least: one a shimmer girl always a shimmer girl. With a stunning sparkler like the Gia gown by Made with Love, one needs an after-party look that’s equally festive. The Veronica dress is a chic column of iridescent sparkle that will keep you dancing comfortably in it’s stretchy shape. We love this one paired with a block heel like our bestselling Fabiola heels for a modern combo.
