Planning your wedding in a winter wonderland?  When you get married in the off-season, there are plenty of winter wedding trends to choose from.  While snowflakes and pinecones are a staple at winter weddings, this year is all about mixing seasonal trends with elegant details.  To create a magical winter wedding, follow some of the most popular trends of the year:

Basic Bouquets – While the holiday time may have you dreaming of red and green, this is a color combination that is easily overdone.  This year, think rustic inspired with a modern twist.  Try colors including wintry greens, light pinks, whites and creams accented with silver and gold.  Full bouquets full of white flowers and plenty of greenery look stunning with a sparkle from an embellished gold ribbon!

Flattering Bridesmaid Dresses – While black bridesmaid dresses have always been a statement piece for winter weddings, there are plenty of other sophisticated styles to dress the ladies in.  Mix it up with a neutral palette of different colored dresses.  Creamy pastels are a subtle choice that can easily be played up with gold and silver accents.  Looking for a more daring style?  Let your bridesmaids choose their own sparkly gowns made with sequins and glitter.  After all, not all bridesmaid dresses have to look the same!

Winter-Inspired Gowns – When planning a winter wedding, it is important to choose a dress that is stylish yet warm.  Pick a dress that will compliment your wintry ceremony and raise the temperatures at the reception.  This year has brought back great styles including vintage dresses, defined silhouettes, embroidered details and more.  A long-sleeve wedding dress can add sophistication and functionality to your night.  If you can stand the cold, try a deep V neckline, open back or cut outs!

The days are shorter, dead leaves are falling and temperatures are starting to drop.  Autumn is officially here!  As the weather continues to cool down, this is the time to start changing up your wardrobe.  Say good-bye to shorts and tank tops and hello to Fall jackets and boots!  Dressing properly for the upcoming months is essential when dealing with cold weather.  Before you go to the store for a new wardrobe, take your coats and warm clothes into Superior Sewing for all of your tailor and alteration needs.  We can fix broken zippers, add missing buttons and revamp your clothes after a long season in the closet.

Great Way to Save Money

Do you have an old coat that has been sitting in your closet for years?  Instead of buying a brand new coat for the cold season, it’s more economical to repair and alter your existing wardrobe.  Not only is tailoring surprisingly affordable but it also can look better than new clothes.

Tailored Clothes Will Help You Look Your Best

Fall clothes can sometimes be seen as loose and baggy garments.  While layers help you stay warm, they can also affect your appearance if they do not fit properly.  With appropriate tailoring, your heavier outfits can fit like a glove.  By having a tailor fix your Winter coat, you can instantly achieve more shape and a sleeker look.

Being Fashionable and Practical

If you have a great coat that is missing buttons, stitching or zippers, tailoring is the practical choice.  Tailors also have the ability to refashion your coat and create designs based on your ideals.  Add embroidery, trim and accents to give your coat extra style.

If you are ready to fix your Fall/Winter coat before the cold weather arrives, contact Superior Sewing!  We are an economical choice for you to look your best and stay fashionable this season.  To learn more about our tailoring options, give us a call at 563-323-4672 or visit www.superiorsewinginc.com.
