BOHO

If Dior's 'New Look of 1947' was a reinvention of elements from the Antebellum period, it seems Boho is 'Summer of Love' reborn. Defined, Boho is a fashion look borrowing from the peasant, early bohemian and hippie looks of the sixties. Boho can be earthy and ethereal all at once, with gowns sporting diaphanous fabrics topped off with head wreaths made out of fresh florals and greenery like ivy. 

So what does Boho have in common with bridal? Just take a look at the pictures directly above. Boho is an over-the-top romantic look and if weddings are anything they are just that. If you're into celebrating with a lot of green--both real and the eco-conscious kind, really think about this look if you haven't already incorporated some part of it into your wedding style.

OUT OF A JANE AUSTEN NOVEL

Lizzy, Jane and Emma--a trio of strong female characters from this literary icon's romantic novels that have endured the centuries.  Evocative of 19th Century oil paintings, these images celebrate the essence of romance--simple silhouettes in soft flowing fabrics and delicate laces.  Add some fine china and a few carefully chosen accessories into the mix and it's a real teatime o f inspiration for all you die hard romantics.  BTW the china is from my own collection--I've been scouting flea markets and garage sales for years now and have ended up with a hodge podge of flowery and flow blue teacups, salad plates, tea pots--you name it,   my clients always get the royal treatment . . .
