The clear winner on the Primetime Emmy Awards red carpet this past Sunday was navy blue.   Small screen sirens Lea Michele, Jane Krakowski and Jayma Mays were just a few of the many who graced the carpet in this shade. Not as hard as black and more sophisticated than lighter pastel hues, navy blue universally compliments every skin tone. Consider giving it a try for your next wedding, gala, charity event, holiday party or special occasion. Visit moncheribridals.com for more navy blue evening dresses.

Reminiscent of whipped frosting and just as delicious to look at, pick-up skirts remain at the top of wedding dress trends this fall season. That doesn’t mean that all pick-up skirts are created equal. Heavier fabrics like taffeta and satin create voluminous pick-up silhouettes while lighter chiffons create a romantic light-as-air effect. Can’t decide between the two looks? Consider the formality, location and overall theme of your wedding. Visit the 2beBride online wedding dress gallery as well as Mon Cheri Bridals and James Clifford Collection to browse more wedding dresses with pick-up skirts.

Draw the eye up and away from problem areas below by wearing a gown that highlights or exposes your collarbone. One of the most graceful parts of a woman,  the collarbone exudes sophistication and elegance. Queen Anne and off-the shoulder necklines expose the collarbone in a subtle way while one-shoulder and strapless styles dare to bare even more. Check out the Montage and Cameron Blake dress galleries for a plethora of options.

Looking for a flower girl dress beyond the basic A-line? Consider one with a bubble hemline for a touch of the unexpected. Sweet and age-appropriate , flower girl dresses with bubbled skirts are on trend for fall and available in the latest Joan Calabrese for Mon Cheri collection.

The fall’s hot new bridal party color combination is a neutral mix of deep brown and beige with just a hint of pink. If you’re planning a “green”, eco-friendly affair or having an outdoor wedding, you can’t go wrong with this trend. Consider dressing your maids in one hue, your maid or matron of honor in another and your flower girl or junior bridesmaid in a combination of both main colors with a hint of pink. Crisp and stylish, this color combo can be found in the fall 2010 Mon Cheri Bridesmaids, Sophia Tolli Special Occasion and Joan Calabrese for Mon Cheri collections.

You chose a wedding locale that’s off the beaten path so why wear an ordinary wedding dress? Consider a dress with a neckline your guests won’t expect like a  hand-beaded illusion Sabrina neckline over a sweetheart bodice or a jeweled modified halter neckline with diamond keyhole opening. The Fall Destinations by Mon Cheri collection offers informal wedding dresses with interesting necklines that are ideal for destination weddings or weddings abroad.
