Yemi Kosibah on bridal trends for 2013


Hallo everyone!

As well as including wedding and event planners, florists, stationers, cake makers, and bridal gown retailers in my 'Bridal Trends 2013' series, I wanted to feature wedding dress designer/makers whose work I respect and admire.

One such designer/maker is the multi award-winning Yemi Osunkoya, of Kosibah. Working from a studio in London, Yemi's beautiful couture bridal and evening wear designs are worn by women the world over. His work both celebrates and enhances the female figure, emphasising a woman's natural grace and elegance. He is known for his impeccable craftsmanship, his elegant corsetry, his use of luxurious fabrics and his sumptuous embellishments.

Over to Yemi, for what to look out for in 2013:


I see the resurgence of the fitted fishtail gown 
with lots of light and or
 
textured volume on the lower part of the dress. 
The Red Carpet has a heavy
  
influence in this trend. 
Gowns with shoulder covering and/or sleeves are
 
also going to be popular. 
Sleeves would be sheer in fabrics such as lace, 
tulle and organza. 
The dress 'Odette' epitomises most of these trends. 
Colour
 
also will play a significant part in gowns for 2013.







A very warm thank you to Yemi for so generously sharing his thoughts with me. I really love the sound of all of his ideas, and look forward to seeing yet more of his beautiful bespoke gowns. 

Please do check out Yemi's wonderful website and Facebook page, and follow him on Twitter too - he's a most generous and gracious tweeter!

Lea-Ann Belter on bridal trends for 2013


Hallo everyone!

I'm really delighted to introduce another fabulous post featuring some of the wedding industry's leading figures on bridal trends for 2013.

With specially-selected stockists in Canada, the States and the UK, Lea-Ann Belter is a designer with an international reputation. Each dress is designed, handmade and hand finished in her Toronto studio. The emphasis is on elegant and timeless designs, on luxurious fabrics, on understated details and on the most exquisite workmanship. Her insight has the easy, natural authority borne of over twenty years experience spent designing and making gowns to the very highest standards. Over to Lea-Ann for what to expect for 2013:


On our studio wall here in Toronto, sketches for Lea-Ann Belter Bridal's 2013 collection hang ready for production.
We've got gowns of Chantilly and French Alenรงon lace, English net...all soft and romantic!






While that feel is often reflected in my gowns, like many bridal designers preparing for next season,
I'm increasingly drawn to a more shabby-chic yet modern aesthetic.





Lace, which has been an ongoing trend, harmonizes beautifully with this sort of dreamy style,
so it will certainly continue to be seen on runways far and wide.




As for silhouettes, expect to see pared-down interpretations of classic shapes –
A-lines, mermaids, column, and bias-cut sheaths.



A heartfelt thank you to Lea-Ann (and her wonderful team!) for so generously sharing her work and vision with me. You can follow Lea-Ann on Twitter and Facebook, and read more about her beautiful designs on her blog.
