Beauty & Fashion: Color of the Year

2015 Color of the Year - Marsala


Pantone’s color experts recently named Marsala the color of the year for 2015.






















At For the Bride, we love this hue—a red-­brown color that evokes the richness of fine wine. We’re forecasting Marsala will be the hot hue for weddings too!

Marsala for Fashion
The full­bodied qualities of Marsala makes an elegant statement when used on its own or as a compelling accent paired with other colors. The shade combines dramatically with neutrals, including warmer taupes and grays. It’s perfect as a base color and can be complimented with blush and ivory any time of year. Or for a spring/summer vibe match the color of the year with bright golden yellows and oranges. For a fall/winter weddings, Marsala does well teal blues and vibrant greens.

Marsala for Beauty













A versatile color for beauty, Marsala is a sophisticated shade that’s flattering against many skin tones. The hue pairs exquisitely with mixes of peachy pinks - an incredible amount of options for lips and cheeks. Be sure to add a hint of bronze. And to complete your bridal look, use Marsala as a go-to finishing touch for nails.

Here, some inspiration for including this fabulous hue as part of your wedding.

Bridal Fashion Week: Shoes

It used to be that a bride didn’t have many choices when it came to bridal shoes. They were meant to match her gown exactly.

Fast forward to Spring 2015: Shoe designers have vastly increased a bride’s options offering plenty of chic, high-quality designs. What’s more, color reigned supreme on every style from ballet flats to sexy stilettos. Here, the best of Bridal Fashion Week in NY.

SWEET & LOW Beautiful, comfortable shoes are essential for your wedding day. This season we noticed heel heights have been lowered to complement the elegance of the romantic style trends in gowns. Low heels no longer mean less style.

OVER-THE-TOP SPARKLE Spring 2015 also sees lace overlays, bows, metallic accents and other embellishments to give personality and individuality to each design.


NEW HUES Color splashed the runways. Romantic shades of pink, peach, blue and green shoes were on display at the designer shows.

Bridal Fashion Week: Trendy Sleeves

One of the nicest trends we’ve seen recently at Bridal Fashion Week is the return of sleeves. A variety of lengths was introduced in New York including cap, three-quarter and even full-length. Sleeves adorned with everything from beading to embroidery have certainly added a new dimension to each gown they cap!


You’ll also notice that sleeves in combination with shorter gowns are also increasingly popular. Though many designers may see them as rehearsal dinner dresses, many brides today are choosing the shorter dress for ceremonies as well.

Bridal Fashion Week: Stunning Backs

This season, we noticed that making a dramatic exit is just as important as making an entrance. Designers showcased wedding dresses with breathtaking backs featuring buttons, lace, and other embellishments.

The styles were subtly sexy, and we loved the way designers took the look up a notch. In fact, as one designer told us, this fashion is the best thing to happen to a bride's back since Princess Diana’s train.


Here, our picks for favorite back designs—from open and backless to strappy and lace—perfect for your 2015 wedding.
