Allure Bridesmaids: Romantic shades in Chiffon.









Brides Magazine has been quoted forecasting this season in bridesmaid trends:
"...lots of colorful lace, chic takes on the little black dress, and romantic shades of soft pink. "







    To sum up Allure Bridal's 2012 bridesmaid dresses we would say classic and elegant, feminine and ethereal. Flowing, figure flattering chiffon drapes in a way that re-invents the classic A-line in ways sure to be popular with all the summer weddings this season! Stepping aside from heavy fabrics like taffeta these dresses are not only positively charming to look at but utterly comfortable to wear.

    And what was that about romantic shades of pink? It is true, pastel and earthy tones are having their way with the runway this season! Those who may not be up for following the trends need not worry. Allure Bridals caters to all their clients and offers a very impressive range of colors for their designs. Roughly 45 shades! How awesome is that?





 The empire waist line is reigning supreme on the popularity charts this season! The collection predominantly showcases a princess & natural waistline with occasional peppering of the asymmetric waistline. Overall, we are seeing the dropped waist being phased out of style all together!

Allure 1222S Bridesmaid Dress has a striking 1920s vintage glamour about it that we here at Magic Moments are in love with! The strapless sweet heart bust gives enough contour to be pretty but doesn't scoop so much as to be indecent for the venue.


Another large focal point for this bridesmaid collection was offering options for the neck and hem lines.A single shoulder strap ( often decorated in bits of flounce or rosette ) is a favored style this time around with the classic sweet heart bust falling closely behind. That is not to say that strapless and scoop necks arent doing very well for themselves! They are still very popular styles above that of the halter neck that we are only now seeing hints of.

Nearly half the collection falls in a tea or pencil length skirt but as expected from Allure - they bend over backwards to offer these styles in a floor length. A perfect example would be Allure 1271 being offered in a longer length : Here. The same is true for many of the longer dresses being made in shorter lengths.
