Bones Wedding!

Tonight is the much anticipated wedding on Bones! I love weddings on TV shows since they are trying to be real people they have more realistic parameters surrounding them and they aren't unrealistic celebrity weddings! In last week's episode where Bones showed the picture of the dress she dreamed about as a little girl we were excited because we spotted some of the latest trends that we love too!

We love the lace top, natural waist and flowing skirt! We have found a dresses that can give you this look and the best part is, you don't have to be a best selling author/forensic anthropologist marrying a FBI murder solving/elite snipper to have this look for your wedding! Ok maybe it isn't very realistic parameters for the wedding! But check it out anyway and let us know what you think!

While not as plunging as the Bones dress, we think this 2014 Allure Bridal style will give you a similar look. The top is a sweetheart with an illusion neckline to give you a little more coverage. The cap sleeves could easily be cut down as well to give you more of the shape if you had to have the Bones dress. The natural waist highlights your skinny and the full skirt is so on trend for this year! A simple embellished belt would finish the look and give you what we think could be your winning look!

We wish we could include a look alike for the groom too, but that is just wishful thinking!

Do you love Bones? We would love to know your thoughts after tonights wedding!

Trend Report-2 Piece dresses

I guess the saying is true, what is old is new again! 

In August Miss Arkansas Teen USA wore a 2 piece gown. 

Which made me think isn't that the look that Miss America 2005 wore?

Award winning designer Tony Bowls has made it possible for everyone to have this winning pageant look in his Tony Bowls Evenings Collection!

Would you rock this look?

Trend Report-Jersey

Jersey has been a fabric that has been in pageant and prom gowns for years but not one that you have seen in bridal very often. This year at market we saw multiple designers showing a couple styles in jersey. One of the characteristics of jersey is the the pile(thickness of the fabric) and its ability to drape nicely. This is one of the jersey dresses styles available by Allure Bridals that will be available in the Boise store for Spring 2014. What do you think? Would you dare to wear jersey?

Trend Report-Peplums!

Peplum's started becoming a fashion statement in the 1860's but the term come from the greek word "peplos" from the early Greeks who also had a sense of fashion and had a decorative detail on the skirt!

This style can be seen all over ready to wear and has transitioned to bridal! What do you think of this trend is it a I do or an I don't?

Miss America Dress Swap

Did you see the fabulous letter in fourpoints magazine about what Miss America has been up to since being crowned in January? What a fun year traveling coast to coast and getting to meet some incredible people!  Well we did and saw this fabulous photo thanks Matthew Boyd for taking this photo. We did some checking and you guessed it, the dress she is wearing in the photo is available at Margene's Bridal! There is no swap here, you can get the real deal! It is from a brand new company that we recently picked up and we are so glad we did! The best part is. . .this dress is only $398! It would be great for a pageant, formal event, prom, or just to wear around the house!

Miss Brazil Dress swap!

Miss Brazil wore this amazing gown during the Miss Universe pageant, the lines of beading create a burst effect at the waist that shows off how TINY she is!

We recommend to get this winning look this black gown with similar beading pattern! This black dress is part of a new collection of gowns available at Margene's bridal in 2013!
