put a bow on it As bridal fashion continues to introduce surprises, bows are big this season, whether on the front or the back, as well as V-necks, capes, tulle, and sleeves. By Julie Simmons Put a bow on it and call it a wrap! From bows and streamers to deep-V’s and mandarin collars, bridal fashion is presenting all sorts of surprises this fall. Perhaps this season’s biggest new trend are bows. Whether on sleeves, the back, the front, or on the waist, bows are all over the runways this year. Along with bows, another new trend in bridal fashion is the V-neck, particularly in offerings from Oscar de la Renta, Marchesca, and Lela Rose. According to fashion experts, the V-neck is growing in popularity with some brides because it can be flattering, and it can elongate your frame. Marchesca adds 3-D floral appliques surrounding the dipped neckline that are absolutely gorgeous. On the back of the gown, the open back is still a popular element, with the addition of sheer elements this season. 32 AMELIA ISLAND WEDDINGS
