Ariana Grande in Giambattista Valli

Perhaps the most iconic dress of the night belonged to a Ms Arianna Grande! Although she had a couple of outfit changes, the most show-stopping was of course the huuuuuuge Giambattista Valli ball gown. The pop princess transformed into just that, and paired the tulle dress with matching satin gloves, Louboutin shoes and her signature high pony. It’s safe to say we’re obsessed.

Alicia Keys in Versace

Speaking of outfit changes, the hostess with the mostest Alicia Keys had a whopping 5 outfit changes and we legit can not fault her for it. Our favourite pick however was the metallic silver Versace dress she started the night in. FYI, this was followed closely by a hot pink co-ord set with blazer and wide leg pants. With a thigh high leg split, asymmetric bodice and hundreds of Swarovski embroidered crystals, it’s safe to say this was the dress of our dreams.

Maggie Rogers  in Chanel

Maggie Rogers wore a STUNNING vintage Chanel dress which was covered in gold embroidered star detailing. The high boat neck bodice featured some vertical detailing, an illusion neckline and some super cute short sleeves. She was spotted on the red carpet carrying not a bag or clutch, but a matching Chanel water-bottle. When questioned, she commented saying that she carried  the item “as a nod to the importance of sustainability and the urgency of our climate change reality”. Gorgeous musician, AND environmental queen? We have no choice but to stan.

Lizzo in Christian Sirano

When it came time for crowd-favourite Lizzo to accept her well deserved grammy… boy was she dressed the part. She wore a show-stopping Christian Sirano a-line ball gown that was studded with rhinestones and featured a stunning off-shoulder detail. On the stage (under what’s probably way too many lights to count) that dress glistened and gleamed so naturally and beautifully. The classically trained flutist looked liked literal royalty and was one of our favourite picks for the whole night. A 10/10 look for sure.

Dua Lipa in Alexander Wang

Modern pop icon Dua Lipa received some super harsh criticisms for her look when she rocked up in a two piece Alexander Wang design. Personally we love this look and think that she’s rocking that satin gown like a champion! Basically, with the blue eyeshadow and neatly styled up-do she’s embodying a minimalist inspired angel from the 90’s. We have no criticisms tbh.

Jameela Jamil in Georges Chakra

Last but definitely not least, actress Jameela Jamil wore an incredible 2019 couture piece by fashion god Georges Chakra. The electric blue panelled dress featured a strapless bodice with tulle gathering and a flow a-line skirt with edgy mesh insert. She paired this ah-mazing gown with slightly curled hair and minimal inspired rings. We’re totally here for it guys.

The post The Sky is the Limit: Bridesmaid Dresses in Blue appeared first on Sentani Boutique.

Vera Wang, who? // The Designer

The dress was designed by fashion God Virgil Abloh and his team at the Italian-based label, Off-White. Usually creators of streetwear pieces with bold colours and silhouettes, we think they did an stellar job designing this playful and sophisticated dress.

Up in arms // The Sleeves

Hailey opted for a long sleeve gown – she’s all about that understated cool vibe. This style is proving very popular this bridal season! So far we’ve have seen megastar celebs like Kim Kardashian & Cecelia Liu get on board, as well as literal royalty Meghan Markle.

The perfect fit // The Silhouette

The off the shoulder bodice of this gown features a subtle sweetheart neckline, complimenting the décolletage while still erring on the conservative side.  The breathtaking low back detail is the perfect contrast when paired with those long lace sleeves. The entire dress is adorned with intricate beading and embroidered details.

The finer things //  The Embellishments

True to the streetwear style loved by the bride, the logo of the label is repeated along the sleeves and skirt. The words “Wedding Dress” (quotation marks included, btw) are stitched underneath the beautiful low back in the same beaded style.

Arguably one of the most iconic elements of her wedding outfit was the long flowing veil. The show-stopping accessory had “Till death do us part” embroidered on the hemline in block text, just in case anyone had forgotten what the day was about! That thing was super long, and super extra, but we loved it.

It’s personal // The Bride 

What we love most about this dress is that it’s perfectly fun and practical while still incorporating plenty of traditional elements – beading and lace details in a classic colour. It all worked together seamlessly to showcase the Bride’s personality, which is exactly what the perfect wedding dress should do.

The post Why we’re obsessed with Hailey Bieber’s wedding dress appeared first on Sentani Boutique.

In our top 10 bridesmaid dress trends for 2019 we explore colour palettes, what real bridesmaids are purchasing and what’s hot on the runway.

MIX & MATCH

Catering to different body shapes and tastes is always a challenge when choosing gowns for your bridesmaids. Mix and matching gowns in the same colour allows for self expression and variety. We offer gowns of different styles in the same fabric to help ensure your maids are coordinated, while maintaining their individuality. Get in touch to find out which styles work best together!

Shown above, the LIBBY and LUCIA bridesmaid gowns.

HALTER

Halter bridesmaid gowns deliver a touch of demure sophistication. The Tania Olsen SYLVIA and CASSIDY gowns (above) maintain elegance while introducing off shoulder and cut out back features. Both of these gowns are coming soon as part of a new Autumn/ Winter range… stay tuned.

LACE

Lace is a classic, whimsical fabric that will bring understated elegance to your bridal party. Consider a classic lace trim gown with v-back and flowing georgette skirt such as the Tania Olsen TALIYAH shown above left, or the long-sleeved VALLARIS bridesmaid gown – above right.

ONE SHOULDER

Channel your finest Grecian goddess in a one shoulder gown. Year on year one of our most popular bridesmaid styles, above left is the new stretch tulle SABRINA gown (coming soon) and ELOISE in blush on the right.

WRAP DRESS

Nothing is more versatile than a wrap dress and we are pleased to offer three variations on this style of gown. The PETRA pant suit (above left) and ETERNITY gown above right, are the newest evolutions of this look.

Use the long straps to wrap each of these gowns your way, ensuring you find the ultimate expression to suit your event and body shape. View some of the looks achievable in our CLASSIC WRAP DRESS.

WHITE

Something that has traditionally been an absolute no-no for weddings, white bridesmaids dresses are becoming increasingly more popular. Find a style very different from your own gown, but in a complimentary shade, then have fun with colourful floral arrangements to provide some pop to your party!

Shown above, the CLAIRE and ELOISE bridesmaid dresses in white.

‘UNDER THE SEA’ TONES

Pantone’s warm, spirited colour of 2019  ‘Living Coral’ may be a little bright for your bridesmaids, but complimentary hues from the accompanying Pantone UNDER THE SEA colour palette provide some beautiful inspiration.

Shown above, the Tania Olsen LIANA GOWN in Teal.

BLUSH

This soft, feminine tone doesn’t look to be going anywhere this season, and for good reason! Complimentary to most skin tones and easy to coordinate, a light pink hue is romantic and versatile – a bridesmaid classic.

BELOW THE KNEE

Slightly shorter, more casual gowns can soften your bridal party, providing a contemporary look for a location wedding. The KELLY cocktail dress above left features a high cross over neck and slightly wrapped skirt, while the BRIT bridesmaid gown on the right (coming soon) is a delicate dress of crepe.

OFF THE SHOULDER

Draw the eye upwards to accentuate beautifully sculpted shoulders. Find gowns that draw in at the waist to define shape such as the ARIANNA GOWN above left or the lace and soft jersey knit JAQULYN above right.

The post Top 10 Bridesmaid Dress Trends for 2019 appeared first on Sentani Boutique.

Trending this year are bridal gowns influenced by princesses, modern takes on old classics, embellishments, and pant suits and colour for the more adventurous bride. Plenty of truly breathtaking looks to draw inspiration for your special day.

Here are the top 10 wedding dress trends for 2019 that brides need to know! From New York to London bridal fashion shows and beyond, we have selected from designer collections and also slipped in a few of our own. Proof you can flaunt the designer look, without the price tag.

1. PRINCESS

Elie Saab Spring Bridal 2019 takes us back to the balls of Vienna, bringing to life childhood dreams of princess gowns with cinched waists, exaggerated full skirts and exquisite embellishments. We can thank the recent royal weddings for a resurgence in this style of classic gowns, often complete with tiaras a la Princess’ Kate and Meghan.

2. ROCK STAR

Perhaps your daring enough to consider a jumpsuit with off shoulder puff sleeves, thick waist belt and detachable tulle skirt? Naeem Kham’s latest bridal collection celebrates the wild, carefree woman or “rockstar brides”.

3. COLOUR

Vera Wang broke from the more classic mould of the season by adding vibrant pops of colour. Use colour to transform your wedding dress from something traditional into something extraordinary.  Soft pinks, lavenders and blush are popular shades for 2019.

Above right is the Tania Oslen BIANCA gown paired with our detachable tulle skirt in Tearose.  Which brings us to number four..

4. DETACHABLE SKIRTS

A stunning yet practical trend for this year, make an entrance with a detachable skirt of sweeping tulle – the perfect transition from day to night. Shown above left, the Tania Olsen Ornela gown with detachable skirt in vintage white.

5. EMBELLISHMENTS

Opulent gowns adorned with beaded embellishments feature across many collections this year (Inbal Dror on left, Theia on right). These exquisite creations invite the wearer to truly sparkle, indulging in the ultimate wedding fantasy.

6. LACE

Head to toe lace is the timeless embodiment of bridal femininity, and this season’s wedding gowns are no exception. Modifications to this timeless look include cut out or razor backs, ensuring you will cut a dignified yet modern silhouette in your gown of lace.

Shown above the TANIA OLSEN MYAH GOWN.

7. FLORAL APPLIQUES

Nothing says romance more than flowers and we simply love these stunning gowns from Elbeth Gills and Julio Vino 2019. Embroidered, appliquéd or lace, use touches of floral to truly embody your femininity.

8. BREATHTAKINGVEILS

2019 Bridal Shows saw a return of wedding veils in spectacular fashion. Shoulder-dusting fringes, full trains with floral detailing, Spanish ‘matilla’ inspired veils of lace –  find the perfect compliment to your wedding gown.

9. HIGH NECK

Leave everything to the imagination with a full high neckline or frame a plunging neckline with sheer illusion high neck. Find something that shows off your shape or perfectly frames your face, there is a variation for every need.

10. CAPES

Add a touch of interest and hint of demure with a Bridal Cape, a wedding trend that continues to reign supreme after hitting catwalks last year. Full-length or shorter, these are perfect to use as a cover-up during your ceremony.

When choosing your wedding gown, take wedding inspiration where you can find it but always remember to select a style that truly represents YOU. A timeless creation that will continue to be relevant as you look back on what is one of the most important days of your life for years to come.

The post Mix and match your Bridesmaids in Lace appeared first on Sentani Boutique.

Some people may shy away from darker colours for their bridesmaid gowns. However, a soft charcoal or even black gown truly can set a stylish, classic tone.

The addition of  lace and a halter style in this gown creates a truly feminine look.

Cameron and Claire tied the knot at Bendooley Estate, Berrima.  Mark Jay Photography was able to brilliantly capture the bride and groom’s special day.  Their style was simple and minimalist with black, white, navy and glamorous greenery enhancing the already stunning venue.

An outdoor wedding venue will look spectacular on the day and translate beautifully in photos, as demonstrated at Cameron and Claire’s wedding. The blushing bride was accompanied by three lovely bridesmaids wearing the soft lace bridesmaid dress – Harlow.

Show off the fine dress detailing with an up-do and pair with silver or rose gold jewellery. We love the gorgeous wedding rings by Raphael Jewellers. A pale bouquet, like the one supplied from Clementine Posy, can also create a beautiful contrast between colours.
