Color – Greek Blue and Moody Indigo are the “it” colors for 2015
Metallic – Copper is trendy in fashion and design
China – China dinnerware will be a must-have for all events
Pastels – Muted pastels and neutrals will be paired with smoky grays, soft blacks and creamy white tones

Mixing the old with the new is also a huge trend in 2015

Cuticle Tattoos by Ciate

I remember when French Manicures were a big nail trends. Cuticle tattoos have been around for a year or so but now these temporary tattoos have become very popular. Ciate a London leading nail care company has rolled out their nail care embellishment (bows, flowers, diamonds).

Kate Spade - For The Bride

I have to say that Kate Spade is one of my favorite designers in the world. Well, I have to tell you that I'm in love with these feather/sequin items from Kate Spade's bridal collections. Oh so cute for the stylish bride who isn't afraid to go BOLD!

Trending 2013 Body Veils

I've seen several blog posts referring to "body veils" that were featured at Bridal Market.  Below are two Reem Acura's gowns with removable veils "coverings" that encase the body. Cover the body for a modest, traditional look and change your look for the reception. What do you think of this trend?

Glamorous Camping Trend Wedding

Just when you thought you saw it all - here comes another new trend for weddings and events described as "glamping" Glamorous Camping. This idea is the brainchild of Shelter Co. Just wish I lived in the San Francisco area so I could try this out. Well, the company states they have tents where the bride can get ready and guests can enjoy the outdoor camping experience. The beds are full-size with 450 thread count sheets and comforter with a host of amenities so you never have to rough it. Their inventory includes lounge furniture, children's tents, vanity tents with rolling racks for bridal party, Adirondack chairs, hammocks and camping boxes with welcome kits.

Nail Trends - Big Business

I love the beaded caviar nail trend, its not an every day look but so cool for a special event. Caviar nail made its debut at the Cushnie et Ochs runway show. You can find tons of tutorial and easy DIY on line to create this look.

Caviar nails

Who knew that nails would grow into such BIG business? According to Swagger New York, "While nails are the smallest segment within beauty, perhaps not surprisingly - at least to us? - nail products have had the most robust sales. Overall sales in the category are up 68%. Nail color is up a whopping 70% and top and base coats are up 100%. So don't expect those trendy top coats to go anywhere soon."
