Bridal Trends for Spring / Summer 15

Wedding Hosiery Blog

Much like any other fashion, the styles and colours of bridal gowns change from season to season. Here at Tights Tights Tights we provide hosiery to compliment almost any dress, no matter what design, fabric, or shade! Modern or traditional, we're certain you'll find the perfect pair of tights, hold ups or stockings to make you feel even more beautiful on your big day. Mint Green Wedding Dress Gone are the days of ivory or white being the only colour options, the hottest colours for Spring 2015 include shades of blue, grey and mint green! Obviously with a bold colour choice, patterned or ivory hosiery would look rather busy and somewhat distracting. Good quality leg wear in natural shades can look just as special as ornate pairs and come in a range of finishes. Wolford Satin 20 give a glossy, sparkling finish with good coverage (fantastic for any blemishes such as scars, birthmarks etc.) and come in Tights and Hold Ups. If matte is your preference, but you also want coverage then Falkes' Sensation 20 are totally seamless for a smooth silhouette. For a very light dusting of colour, Falke Shelia are only 12 denier but have the strength to last the entire day. They come in Tights and Hold Ups, both with the choice of a closed toe or open toe - so you can wear peep-toe shoes in comfort, from walking down the aisle to the last dance of the night. If its stockings you're looking for, Falkes' Seidenglatt 15 denier Stockings (which shine without making legs look oily, and are one of our best selling bridal stockings) come in powder (as well as ivory) and have a beautiful bridal lace top which are guaranteed to provide a sense of occasion. Tulle Wedding Dress Tulle is a fabric which was featured prominently on the Spring '15 bridal catwalk, and makes for an elegant, full skirt. While it provides texture and volume, it remains quite a plain, simple fabric - which can really allow you to go all out and dress your legs in almost any pattern! Lace is an obvious choice, and comes in a variety of styles and patterns in itself. Charnos Floral Net Tights and Hold Ups are a classic lace design combined with the strength of a net. They are more open than most lace patterns (which can often verge on old fashioned) and this pulls the motif into the modern age and allows the designs to remain light and delicate. For something a little different, take a look at Eryn tights by Trasparenze. The subtle criss-cross pattern, dotted with miniature diamond shapes, gives a distinctive yet elegant illusion, and are perfect for any brides who love anything unusual. Jonathan Astons Sweet Roses Tights and Hold Ups are a more classic, intricate lace with a gorgeous vintage style back seam. Ballerina also provide a variety of delicately patterned ivory Hold Ups with intricate lace tops to add something extra to your bridal outfit. Twenties Style Wedding Dress Every season wedding gown designers take inspiration from decades gone by, and Spring '15 was no different. 1930's inspired frocks flooded the runways, making Art Deco the new seasonal must have. Go all out with our vintage style Girdles (ivory, pink, red and black) and Deep Suspender Belts (white and black, plain or lace front) by Nylon Dreams. Perfect to pair with stockings, such as Gios' Point Heel Stockings, fully fashioned with an elegant, classically feminine back seam, and made with machinery from 1940! You can opt for ivory or bronze. However, these kind of dresses can often cling to the body due to the fabric and cut, so hold ups or seamless tights might be a good option. Trasparenzes' Jessy Hold Ups in Seta are beautifully sheer, seamed and are a light ivory shade, combining a variety of options in one gorgeous pair. A delicate pearl back seam on sheer ivory tights will pair well with this theme, and Charnos provide the perfect set with their Pearl Backseam Bridal Tights. Crop Top Wedding Dress Another outstanding and innovative look was two-piece outfits, perfect for any younger brides who feel a full dress isn’t for them. Most encompassed a plain full skirt with a separate bejewelled or embellished cropped top. Suspender belts may sit a little high for this style, and tights may also face this problem as they tend to be worn to the waist. Wolford Fatal 15 Tights are specially designed to be work on the hips and still be comfortable and unmoving while giving an even, matt effect coverage and are available in Hold Ups. For all the bridal elegance of an ivory lace top, but with a modern sheer natural leg, Charnos have crafted Bridal Lace Top Hold Ups and Bridal Satin Band Hold Ups in champagne. You can have the best of both worlds with a touch of tradition while making sure your legs look smooth and blemish free. Falke Seidenglatt Hold Ups come in off white and powder and are some of the sturdiest, well-made hold ups we have ever come across. Brides-to-be have ensured this is some of our bestselling wedding hosiery, and they do not disappoint. The wide, decorative lace band ensures they sit in place all day long and they have a breath-taking shimmering finish.
