Best Dressed of the Oscars






Ok, so overall, I felt that the gowns were a little disappointing on the red carpet last night. There were a few stand outs, but if you get the chance to be at the Oscars, why not bust out in the BEST look possible?? Kind of like your wedding day....the aisle is a bride's red carpet. Make it an entrance that will be remembered. These were my favs of the night. All of which I feel like would be great wedding gowns in an ivory tone. The textures, originality, and structure of these gowns are instant show stoppers.

Bananas for Bridal Belts!

Belts and sashes are one of the best bridal styling accessories to ever hit the aisles! This simple and inexpensive addition to your gown can transform a look instantly. A beaded belt can create a glamorous and more formal look, just as a floral belt can soften a gown and enhance the romance of any dress. Sashes with pops of color not only look great in photos, but they can also can be used to help tie together all of the colors from the wedding party. There are limitless ways to practice this trend.

Here are just a few more suggestions and pictures on how celebrities and designers are showcasing bridal belts and sashes:

-Depending on how detailed your accessories are, leave the gown bare for the ceremony to call attention to your bridal bouquet, and as you are bustling your gown, add on the belt for the reception. Now you have two different looks!

-Feature a dark color on your belt to accentuate a tiny waist. Charcoal and smoky gray are HUGE right now, and are a softer alternative to black.

-Use a unique floral or textural belt to create a couture look of your very own.

-Create a vintage look by attaching a brooch to a thick, silk sash...here is a great place to incorporate your "something borrowed."

-Set your belt or sash aside before preserving your bridal gown, and wear it for each anniversary with a great top or dress.

Amazing Gown Arrival!

This IS the dress, people....Lazaro at his finest!!

When we saw this dress, I knew that I was willing to leave my husband of 10 years just for the opportunity to remarry in this gown. Only kidding. But seriously, this dress is literally unbelievable, and would complete the fairy tale wedding of any bride. This is a masterpiece of a wedding gown, and it has arrived at Serendipity.



The hand beaded bodice is heavily encrusted with fantastic embroidery and jewels over a sheer netting. The impeccable boning and structure is completed by a platinum silk satin ribbon at the natural waist. The skirt is a heavenly tufted organza a-line skirt that takes the textural trend to a new level.



Come to the salon to see this and other amazing new stock pieces!! New dresses and accessories are arriving each week!!
