  • Wedding headpieces fit for a Princess

    wedding tiaras headpieces
    Headpieces by Stacey Hannan Designs

    By Karen Birney

    After that wedding last month, tiaras are officially back in vogue. Whereas for many brides tiaras are seen as being a bit too traditional, Kate showed us they can be worn with sophistication, simplicity and class. If you are still airing on the side of caution, hair-wise, you can easily do a take on the tiara with gorgeous pins, headbands, and slides. Now few of us can hit the stores and find ourselves a vintage Cartier fit for a Queen, but not to worry, there are so many brilliant Irish designers creating delicate pieces to adorn the crowns of brides today that we needn’t lose any sleep!

    And what better way to see these stunning pieces than on the brides themselves?! Compiled by Karen Birney

    carolina-herrera

    Venezuelan-born American designer Carolina Herrera wanted to create a gown for every personality in her Spring 2012 collection. Her traditional styles were given a twist with added block colour and unusual accents. The princess dress was a major theme throughout -we can definately see Kate Middleton wearing one of these when she gets married in two weeks time!

    Friday 18 March 2022 - Fashion - Tags: day-after-the-wedding-dresses, honeymoon-dresses, high-street-dresses, shoes, summer-dresses, wedding-guest-style

    day after wedding dresses
    1. River Island, �49.99, 2. House of Fraser, €265

    I saw some girls chatting on the forums about what they were going to wear the day after the wedding. The day after is a really exciting day for many brides as it's the day when they know any wedding stress will be gone, and they can spend quality time with their guests...and with their hubby! The day after the wedding you want something fresh, comfortable and fabulous, and something that makes you feel like a new woman!

    Check out these 12 dresses we've chosen for the day after -they're all super stylish in their own way, and my favourite thing about them is they will flatter ANY figure. I know a lot of stylists say this but these dresses really will!

  • Fashion: McQueen 2011 Bridal at Paris Fashion Week

    Thursday 10 March 2022 - Fashion - Tags: paris-fashion-week-2011, alexander-mcqueen, bridal-runway, high-couture, ruffles

    alexander mcqueen 2011 bridal

    With the commotion surrounding the Royal Wedding this year, all eyes were on Alexander McQueen's Bridal offering at Paris Fashion Week. Sarah Burton has taken the reigns of the avant-garde label since Lee McQueen's premature passing, and is evidently sharing a smile and a nod with the gifted designer by continueing the mad hatter type looks that united him with fame monster Lady Gaga, so well. The hard, asylum-esque theme was fiercely apparent in every costume that steamed down the runway, but was balanced with a soft, fuzzy edge in fur and billowing organza (perhaps an indication into the style Kate Middleton may be going for?). Clearly these looks aren't for every bride (or, correct me if I'm wrong, any bride?), but we are certain to see these 'heritage' silhouettes, contrasting textures and fabrics, and hardline details making their way to universal bridal wear. And in terms of those contemporarily stylish Royals, all I can say is 'watch this space'.

  • Wedding Inspiration from the Oscars!

    Wednesday 2 March 2022 - Fashion - Tags: celebrity, wedding-inspiration, high-couture, bridesmaid-dresses, colour-inspiration, bridal-runway

    Ahh! So Award Season has officially come to an end, and men and women all over the world can finally breathe a sigh of relief (and let their bellies out). Sigh. I have to start by letting you all know, however, that I was not one of the ones glued to twitter and my TV screen this year, in the hope of spotting a designer before the next fashionista, I instead decided to sit back and let the wave of beautiful people wash over me while I sat in PJs drinking red wine and eating bread. The super stylish world of a magazine editor there ladies and gents. Anywho, I decided to jot up a little piece on all the sartorial goings on on Sunday night, and how they will translate into weddings the world over this year -a flashcard for the bridal-trend curious if you will.

    Finally! Just to note that there are some very prominant members of the EL AY fashion society not present here, this is either a) They wore nothing worth noting or, b) they wore something I didn't like, and unlike most eds I don't believe in doing the 'who got it right/who got it wrong' saga, as it often comes back to bite you on the behind.

    Here's how I see trends translating into bridal style. As it does every year. What were your fave looks of the night?

    The Bridemaids:

  • Vera Wang Fall 2011

    Thursday 28 October 2021 - Fashion - Tags: vera-wang

    We love Vera Wang here at the WeddingsOnline.ie/B Mag office. We love her so much that we really feel we are on a first name basis with her. So when "Vera" is mentioned, all the WOL women pause, sigh and take a moment to ponder the queen of couture and all her gloriousness.

    So in honour of Vera here is a glimpse of the Fall 2011 collection that was shown at the Bridal Market (the bridal fashion event of the year) a couple weeks ago.

    Sigh......

  • B on the hunt...Camille's Boutique in Malahide!

    Monday 20 September 2022 - Fashion, Supplier Spotlight - Tags: None

    There’s a certain satisfaction knowing you are shopping where the celebrities shop, there is even more satisfaction knowing you are shopping in a place where all your deepest Mad Men style fantasies can come true! Oh blessed day that the B Magazine gals stumbled upon Camille’s Boutique in Malahide. We really did go with the intention of research (you know...because we feel it’s our duty to all you lovely Wollies...), but the dresses were too amazing, so we simply had to buy one or two...or four...

    Camille opened her boutique last year and has since made quite the stylish splash on the Irish fashion scene, kitting out clients such as Kathryn Thomas, Amanda Brunker and Jenny Masterson (to name but a few). She is one of the exclusive stockists for the vintage inspired brand Stop Staring! which was voted the best line for plus size women, by Oprah's O Magazine! Celebs such as Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian regularly sport Stop Staring! dresses for their exquisite slimming power. No matter what your shape or size, these dresses will make you feel and look fantastic (and we are not just saying that because we bought 6 of them).

    Camille has just launched the British line, Mina and also does custom gown design and can create fab wedding dresses. So if you haven’t found the perfect gown yet, drop by and speak to her about creating your very own design!

    Whether you are a guest or looking for the perfect dress for the day before or after your wedding, Camille’s Boutique is a must-visit!

  • B on the hunt...jewellery!

    Monday 6 September 2022 - Fashion - Tags: None

    This week the girls from B went shopping for wedding jewellery (ahh tis a tough job we have). Here's some of the pieces we found.

    Our first stop was the Aladdin's Cave of wedding jewellery, Gollum's Precious in the Powerscourt Centre. Oisin was an absolute gent and took time out from his delicate work of changing stones, tightening clasps and what have you to show us around the shop. Gollum's Precious has an array of very different pieces, and what's great about it is, if you like something but maybe want to change a diamond to a pearl, or shorten a pair of earrings, or add a brooch to a necklace, they can do it for you! They also work with various bridal shops in the area to rent out some pieces so you can try them on with your dress. Brilliant.

    Gollum's PreciousVarious broochs at Gollum's Precious, they can even make them into hair clips if you fancy!Crystal necklaces: Left - Vintage €138, Right - Modern €252Gollun's PreciousClockwise from left: Various hair flowers, Silver headpiece with crystal detail, €38, Three-flower comb, €38, Swarovski pearl and crystal headpiece, €86Jewelery shop powerscourtPearl vintage style swarovski crystal drop earrings, €69, Swarovski three-strand bracelet, €136, Swarovski pearl and crystal necklace, €86, Swarovski crystal bangle €610Powerscourt centreBlack and silver ball necklace, €44, AMAZING champagne ring €109 (If anyone who knows me is reading this btw, I love this ring, HINT HINT)Jenny VanderA quest for jewels wouldn't be complete without a trip into our friends in Jenny Vander. There's not much I can say to explain this place, you just have to see it for yourself (Also, PLUG, keep your eyes open for the shoot in the next edition of B mag, Jenny Vander kindly lent us some stunning vintage pieces to shoot in it. One of the necklaces is to die for...and by that I mean I honestly would have died for it)Jenny Vander vintage shop dublinHave you something for your wedding that you need, but don't have time to route for?

  • B on the hunt...high street bridal shoes!

    Monday 30 August 2022 - Fashion - Tags: bridal-shoes, b-on-the-hunt

    The girls in B Magazine are doing the shopping so you don't have to! This week we were on the mad hunt for bridal shoes.

    Our mission was simple, go into every high street shop on Grafton Street and route around till we found the absolute best bridal shoes. After a cup of coffee, an iced tea and a total disregard for the comfort of our shoe model Karen’s feet, I think we managed it.

    So the below are the cream of the bridal shoe crop, and our picks for the best in high street fashion.
