Us AYDE girlies love to stay on top of the latest trends. One of my own personal ways of doing that is by watching award shows. And Award Show season started with last night's Golden Globes. More than watching the show itself I LOVE to watch the red carpet pre-show ...show! It's a great way to see what the trends are in fashion, color, hair, jewelery, accessories and just STYLE!
How does this translate to Wedding and Event planning you ask?? Well... inspiration can be found in ANYTHING!! I saw a documentary on Ralph Lauren a while ago. Turns out the man is not only an amazing American fashion designer, but he is also an insane car collector. He found inspiration in his car collection to create fashion. The windshield of a Farrier inspired a pair of fashion forward sunglasses and the leather seats of a one of a kind Mercedes inspired a beautiful leather jacket.
There are no hours of operation on creativity. The shop is open as long as my eyes are.... inspiration is everywhere. And last nights Golden Globes was no exception. Here are a few of my favorites:
Marion Cotillard
could do no wrong in my book. I LOVE the emerald of her one shoulder Dior gown. This is a perfect example of "it's all in details" ... the tiny bit of lingerie peeking out of the slit adds just a touch of sexy.
For a wedding... maybe you take the tiny bit of black lace and add it around glass candle cylinder? Varying sizes of cylinders on the center of a table can create a romantic an sexy centerpiece.
January Jones of "Mad Men".... two things: head band and platform pumps. 'Nuf said.
Chace Crawford was rockin' the sexy scruff. Sometimes it's ok for grooms and groomsmen to get their scruff on. Things to remember... hair is on point, there are TWO eye bows and the suit is looking crisp. It's about maintaining balance. A little tiny bit of sexy scruff needs a whole lot of neatness in order to be pulled off correctly. We don't want our grooms to walk down the aisle looking like a lumber jack.
Glenn Close is a goddess. What I see first... a bright and beautiful spirit that shines through. What I see next... awesome posture, glowing skin and toned arms. Brides... your bridal beauty will shine though if you don't let the little things get to you. Enjoy your day, be happy and be in love. Your beauty will shine through.
Enjoy award show season,
Sara
