Bathed in an Orange Glow

The latest issue of Vogue magazine covers the wedding of fashion editor/socialite, Lauren Davis, to Andres Santo Domingo in Cartagena this past January. The entire day was a lavish affair complete with a $200,000 wedding gown designed by Olivier Theyskens and over 500 guests. The nine bridesmaids wore flowing gowns in a series of beautiful pastels: peach, orange, lavender, silver, yellow and pale blue to complement the church.

I think the photo below of them in their gowns is a wonderful showcase of colors to come. I have previously noted that lavender is going to be a strong color in the upcoming seasons, but orange and peach are following close behind as even stronger accent hues.

The New York Times Style Magazine also came out this week and featured fabrics, dishes and furniture in a similar color palette of brighter shades. You can see from the photo below that orange is a lead accent color in the swatches, paired with fuscia, red and yellow.

Back to Lauren's wedding, the gift she chose to give to her bridesmaids were gold necklaces engraved with each maid's initials. The popularity of personalized clothing, jewelry and giftware seems to be growing, especially in Hollywood, baby and bridal markets.

On our own website, we have created a special store for customization that features our top selling engravable designs as well as our new baby and wedding collections.
