Sequins for 2014!

We stumbled across this lovely blog http://www.beforethebigday.co.uk/2014/01/wedding-trends-of-2014-sequins.html and it inspired us to do our own post about this sparkling new trend for 2014.

When we heard this new trend, panic did strike us slightly... As when you think of sequins, your mind might wander to the bright pink or tacky gold sequins that adorned your childhood dressing up box. But the designers of the catwalk pieces that have inspired this trend have chosen striking and unique colours and shapes that have completely transformed the idea of your average sequin!




Something we've not come across before, statement table cloths! You can bring sequins into your wedding breakfast by dressing your table in striking golds and subtle silvers. Dark petrol blues also look stunning and will set the mood for the whole room. 


There are so many different styles, shapes, textures and colours of sequin wedding dresses. One of the main and most elegant styles we have come across are dresses adorned with sequins mainly around the bodice that spread out and become more sparse as you move down to the skirt. Teamed with chiffon, this would become a more charming, light and soft look. 


Sequin dresses aren't just gold and silver it seems! This bride has steered clear of tradition, wearing beautiful sea green sequins on a flapper style 1920's dress. Teamed with a Gatsby-type head dress, this bride has created the perfect look for a 2014 wedding. We love it!





Sequin head dresses are also in with a bang this year! If you feel that the average wire or metal head band is too heavy or frustrating to keep on your head throughout the day, a sequin head dress is a perfect alternative. Most feature a tie up back, and they're extremely light and comfortable.


Sequins aren't just for traditional, indoor weddings. This dress, bouquet and head band combo are the perfect ingredients for a bohemian outdoor woodland wedding http://www.wasing.co.uk/wasing-woodland-weddings-_202/.




Using sequins as confetti, during photographs or as your decorations are also options! Whilst browsing Pinterest, we came across the idea of filling empty light bulbs with differently shaped sequins and hanging them with thin threads. This would look magical in any indoor or outdoor wedding. What a fantastic idea!
