The Year of Color

Gown by Stella de Libero / As Seen on Wedding Inspirasi
Three years ago when we created our blog, one of our first few posts already rallied to go for colored gowns. To be more specific, we entitled the entry "Anti-White" and it was our 9th post in the blog. This has always been one of our "propaganda movements." 

Over the past few years since that post, we've been so overjoyed to see the same battle cry from fashion heavyweights the likes of Vera Wang. So when the folks over at Simply Bridal shared with us their 2014 Fearless Forecast, we couldn't be happier. According to Simply Bridal, they predict that 2014 is DEFINITELY the year for colored gowns. So in support of their forecast, we've scoured the web to also give you sample gowns based on their forecast. Enjoy! :)

Simply Bridal says: 2014 is the year of going against the grain with weddings, especially when it comes to color! Instead of traditional white wedding gowns, brides will select colored gowns to show off their unique style and personality. Here's some of the hottest hues for wedding dresses and what they say about you:


CAYENNE

PLACID BLUE

"You are steady in your ways and persistent, with a very strong need for security."

"You are sensible, respectable, and love freedom.

RADIANT ORCHID
Gown by Stella de Libero
"You have a deep need to belong to groups and help others. 
Everyone knows they can rely on you."

SOFT GREY
Gown by Elizabeth Dye
"You are composed and reliable, and have a tendency to conform for peace."

RED
Gown by Claire Pettibone
"You are enthusiastic and this attracts many friends. You have a passion to experience life."

CELOSIA ORANGE
Gown by Reem Acra
"You are energetic and love to socialize. You are always the life of the party."

DAZZLING BLUE
Gown by Reem Acra
"You seek a calm and peaceful life, and often the mediator when there's conflict."

FREESIA
Gown by Carolina Herrera
"You are affirmative, creative and express yourself in a very realistic and logical way."

BLACK
Gown by Elie Saab
"You are independent, and convey a strong sense of power to those around you."





"THE LITTLE WHITE LIE"


If you are a regular RB reader, you know by now that the belief embedded in our society that white is the traditional color of gowns since time and immemorial is one of the BIGGEST FATTEST LIES to date. But in case you haven't read our feature on this yet, VISIT: THE LITTLE WHITE LIE

So what now rebels? Are you finally ready to take the big leap towards colored gowns? Always remember that this is NOT about following the latest trends in weddings. It's about staying true to yourself especially if deep down inside you've always wanted to wear a colored gown on your wedding day. Based on this helpful infographic shared by Simply Bridal, which color/personality do you think best suits you? :)

Veejay Floresca's RTO

"Albay" - Madore Collection / Veejay Floresca
http://veejayfloresca.blogspot.com/

I have three ultimate favorite Filipino bridal designers, one of which is Veejay Floresca! And not just as a designer but also as a humble superstar human being! I will never forget a conversation I had with a videographer and a photographer in one of the weddings I attended--they said that they are always around beautiful gowns, even Vera Wang gowns--but when it comes to perfectly fitted gowns, nothing comes close to Veejay's gowns.  And I love his whole concept of "Ready-to-Order"--I know this is yet again a super delayed post (yikes!) --but who cares as long as we get to spread the word and promote the fab talents we love, right? Here are some of our rebellious favorites from Veejay's Madore RTO collection!



"Makati"

"Cebu"

"Vigan"

"Davao"

Of course we are partial to the non-white gowns but if you are looking for the whites, visit Veejay's blog to see the entire collection! CLICK HERE :)

Rebellious Bride Haidee's Bridal Style

Photography by We Do It For Love

We are lovin' Rebellious Bride Haidee's Boy Kastner Santos anti-white bridal gown! And wait 'till you see the back! You know that a gown has attitude when you can look at it from any angle and it's stirring up so many rebellious emotions inside of you. This look is so inspired. So refreshing. So charming. Equally charming is how the bride put the entire look together. And not everyone could have pulled off the shoes that Haidee paired it with. But with the tasteful eye of We Do It For Love, combined with the bride's effortless chicness, somehow it all worked out fantastically! Here's more!


Best wishes to Sherwin & Haidee! :)

Rebellious Bride Stephanie's Rajo Gown

Photography by MangoRed
We just absolutely ADORE rebellious bride Stephanie's Rajo Laurel gown! Here is another living proof that a bridal gown doesn't have to be pearly white, doesn't have to be heavily beaded, and most definitely doesn't have to have all the frou frou. And how easy of a choice it would have been for the bride to opt for an extravagant gown--after all, she's working with one of the most formidable institutions in the country's fashion industry and she herself holds her own status. But she didn't. And for that, she is a rebel bride in the truest sense. 


The guests themselves oozed with understated stylish ensembles. Best dress code ever!



Congratulations to the lovely couple! View the complete MangoRed set HERE

Bridal Spring 2014 - Rebellious Honorable Mention: Romona Keveza (Part 4 of 5)


http://www.wwd.com/runway/bridal-spring-2014
Probably the only Bridal Spring 2014 collection that fully celebrated color this season was Romona Keveza that's why this is one of my two most favorite collections from this showcase.


I have to admit that I wasn't familiar with the designer's work 'till now. But this really took my breath away. The collection was so rich in vivid colors and you can barely see the usual lace or breadwork typical of bridal wear but it really works just as dramatically and beautifully.


This collection is perfect for the Rebellious Bride who is womanly and comfortable in her skin in every sense of the word. 





UP NEXT: Vera Wang!

Bridal Spring 2014 - Rebellious Honorable Mention (Part 1 of 5)

From the Angel Sanchez Bridal Spring 2014 Collection / Source: The Knot
The bridal gowns have been walked down the catwalk aisle and what's our verdict? Though majority are still pretty white and traditional, it's getting there, it's getting there. So much so that this Bridal Spring 2014 report of ours will be 5 parts in total.

We applaud the efforts of designers to showcase something out of the ordinary. But the stigma of wearing something unconventional for brides will never go away if the media, bloggers, observers in general won't stop writing headlines that say "Would you wear something this outrageous?"

It's because of this kinds of headlines that seem harmless that viscously feed on more controversy or debate that makes brides think twice before fully owning their individuality. 

Oscar de la Renta / Source: The Knot
That's why here in Rebellious Brides, we REFUSE to write such headlines or descriptions. Instead, we'll call these wonderful creations as the Rebellious Honorable Mention. It's not even about being unconventional per se. It's about opening up yourselves to other options beyond white gowns and beyond the veils--because you know what? It's a form of brainwashing. Knowledge is power and if you actually research on the history of white wedding gowns and the use of veils, they are not even mandatories but fads or current situations of specific periods in time. 

We say, pick an inspirational bridal look that personifies who you REALLY are. And one that genuinely resonates with your own personalities and not what is accepted of society.

Here are the honorable mentions but this is just the beginning. There were designers that had full-on unconventional collections. So we are paying individual tributes to: Monique Lhuillier, Reem Acra, Romona Keveza, and Vera Wang. But before that, here are the other designers who had a few noteworthy rebellious ideas:

Theia White played with the concept of the usual train. And in this unnerving hot weather in Manila, don't you think it makes sense to consider a short textured bridal gown such as the one on the left?

Amsale created options for unembellished bridal pantsuits. 
This may be missing the usual full skirt but it definitely looks luxe! 

http://www.wwd.com/runway/bridal-spring-2014
These Angel Sanchez bridal looks are perfect for the Rebellious Brides who want to take the concept of Mad Hatter Tea Parties or Romantic Garden Weddings to the next level!

http://www.wwd.com/runway/bridal-spring-2014
Anna Maier's 'White w/ a Twist' creation proves that bridal gowns need not be heavily beaded...nor does it have to look too white even if it's white---does that make sense?

http://www.wwd.com/runway/bridal-spring-2014
Oscar de la Renta goes back to classic fairytale gowns---but couldn't resist putting on some pinks and blues in the end! 

http://www.wwd.com/runway/bridal-spring-2014

Which one is your favorite? I'd probably go for the Amsale pantsuit and the pink Oscar de la Renta!
