Prom should be the most exciting night for high school students. It’s the one night you get to be dolled up and stay out late dancing like there is no tomorrow. 
There are sequins popping up this year, but in less abundance. The 2013 prom dress trends point more towards sequins in a concentrated area—specifically on the bustier and who doesn’t love a dress with a bustier? It allows just enough sparkle on your special night without outshining or blinding your date.
While if you fail to fall in love with the bustier, here are other styles that are also hot.
Necklines
The lace high necklines have featured everywhere and are highly recommended here. You really won’t go wrong with this look. If you want to stay on the sophisticated side, a dress that’s all one color would be great. But if you want a little more pop, you’d better go for a two-tone dress.
Another neckline that is popular this year is the asymmetrical neckline. I personally like to take advantage of any opportunity to not wear a bra so this style would have me sold. The neckline jazzes up the dress just enough for you to feel a little edgy while still keeping it classy.
Peplum
From the runway to weddings, this style is popping up everywhere. It’s a great classy look that really allows you to feel confident no matter what body type you have. Not only does the extra layer help to slim you down and hide any areas you may be uncomfortable with, but it really works to give you an hourglass shape that girls dream of. As an added bonus, it totally shows off your legs.
Vintage
The vintage flapper dress that is popping up definitely has sequins, but it puts a whole new spin on the sequins used when I went to prom. The flapper dresses are fun and flirty with their short length and tassels. I just can’t get enough of them.
Mesh Cut Outs
Some girls believe sexy has to mean cleavage, but I’m personally the opposite. I like to allude to a hidden sexiness so the mesh cut outs featured this year are awesome. They allow a peek-a-boo appeal without revealing too much.
Colors
Dresses this year vary from neutral hues to funky bright reds and blues. It’s really more about what you feel comfortable in, but I love the ombre look that’s trending. It allows you to have the best of both worlds and it works with most of the styles trending. Another popular look that sort of took me by surprise is the prints and embroidering. Floral? Bring it on. I love it.
Sleeves
Sleeves this year are all over the place. From the one sleeve to the capped sleeve, I’ve seen more sleeves in both wedding fashions and prom fashions. They really are making a comeback.

If you decide to choose royal blue color for your bridesmaid dress, congratulate! Royal blue bridesmaid dresses are the right choice for the elegant style of your wedding celebration. Most of the times the choice of color goes for softer nuances especially when there is a less formal style selected for the wedding. But with the choice of royal blue there is a more sophisticated note introduced in the ambiance of your wedding. As a result, all the other details should be in the same note with the elegance and royalty of this color.

There are various shades of blue and all of them are great choices for bridal party apparel. There is the light blue that goes very nice for a spring time wedding celebration or the baby blue that is perfect for a wedding celebrated by the beach. But for a wedding ceremony taking place within the sumptuous place of a cathedral the right choice for bridal apparel would be royal blue bridesmaid dresses in full length.

There are various designs to choose from: sleeveless long dresses in normal waistline, halter neck long dresses, off the shoulder bridesmaid dress, even strapless style can be a good choice although for this style one should make sure that they have the approval from the religious officiants who perform the wedding ceremony service.

When shopping around for the bridal party apparel, you must do this together with your bridesmaids to make sure that you go for the right design that suits them all. There are many versatile styles that can shape perfectly for any body silhouette and one such style comes in the form of column dress with a halter neckline of the bodice. The choice for sleeveless column style is again the one that fits perfectly for any type of body shape and shows less nakedness than the halter neckline does.

It is very important to choose the royal blue bridesmaid dresses accompanied by your bridal party as in this way you will not only get the dress to fir them all in a right way, but you will know whether or not the specific design might need any alterations. These alterations must be done in due time to make sure that the bridal party apparel is perfectly ready to enter the scene of the wedding.

It’s generally known that weddings are expensive. In fact, the cost of having a wedding in the United States is approximately $20,000. This makes many American couples to seek for cheaper alternatives when purchasing wedding items. From the cake to the wedding ring, there are many popular choices that won’t compromise quality when it comes to being more affordable. You simply don’t want to start out your marriage with a hefty wedding debt. Here are some ways that you can have the wedding of your dreams on a newlywed’s budget. 
1. Keep it Private
Consider cutting down your guest list to only your close friends and family. Intimate weddings can be much more meaningful, and they can save you thousands.
2. Select an Off Season Date
When selecting a date for your wedding, don’t be afraid to stray away from the norm. You may be able to afford that amazing venue if you plan to have your wedding on a Sunday or a weeknight. Also, planning your wedding off-season will save you money as well. Instead of planning your big event during the height of wedding season, opt for an elegant fall wedding or a white winter wedding.
3. Skip the Cake
Just because cake is an age old wedding tradition doesn’t mean you should have one at your wedding. Consider other dessert options, such as elegant tarts, éclairs, or beautifully decorated cupcakes or cookies.
4. Rent Your Wedding Gown
Many women insist on buying a wedding gown, which can cost thousands. After the big day, they have it dry-cleaned (another added expense), and then kept in storage. Why not just rent your wedding dress and save the additional cost?
5. Use Contemporary Invitations
While the internet makes it possible for you to order anything online, consider customizing your wedding invitations. Simply upload an adorable picture of the happy couple, and use a print website to customize the rest. You’ll be amazed at how easy and affordable it is to make your own wedding invitations. Ask guests to RSVP by phone or email and skip the added cost for including a return envelope with your invitation.
6. Limit Your Menu
Guests don’t expect a lavish sit down dinner when they attend a wedding. Keep it simple. Select your favourite beverage, such as pink lemonade, and serve it alongside ice water with lemons. It is easy to set up a beautiful buffet table, and fill it with simple hors d’oeuvres. During your reception, guests can munch on delicious snacks and indulge in tarts and cupcakes.

Fall weddings are just as beautiful as the summer weddings. If you are planning to have an autumn wedding, think about romance. The season offers us beautiful sceneries with changing colour, so use this as a theme.

The autumn weather can be quite unpredictable, so take this in consideration when planning your wedding, especially if it is outdoors. You can still wear a dress which does not cover your arms; in fact, a strapless wedding dress can make you look gorgeous in the wind. However, if you choose a dress which reveals your arms, make sure to buy a suitable shrug or bolero which will keep you warm. Even if your wedding is indoors it is still advisable to get one; the wedding photos might be taken outdoors.

Autumn weddings are all about the surrounding warm colours. The leaves at this time of year can be breath taking. When choosing the flowers, take the warm earthly colours such as red, yellow, brown and green, in consideration. Not only the flowers but also the bridesmaids’ dresses, the groom’s and bridegrooms’ outfits could be influenced by the autumn colours.

Your wedding dress does not necessarily have to be white. A romantic ruby coloured dress or an eye catching emerald green wedding dress will give you a warm look. However, if you are feeling a bit more traditional and rather wear a white dress you can still accessorise with a ruby or emerald satin bow or ribbon around your waist.

If you choose to have an autumn wedding, remember to use the beautiful colours of this season. Many online stores offer a collection of beautiful dresses to wear to a wedding – for everyone involved.
