There are no guarantees when it comes to marriage.The same might be said of the impact of Prince William and Kate Middleton's April 29 nuptials on the wedding industry this side of the pond."I think it's really a big matter of anticipation at this point," says Amy Eisinger Designer Prom Dresses, associate editor at http://www.WeddingChannel.com.But that hasn't stopped speculation as to which elements -- the flowers, music, cake and, of course, Middleton's keenly anticipated wedding gown -- might be embraced by happy couples or wedding planners stateside.Eisinger cites the recent announcement that the couple's wedding cake will be a multitiered fruitcake, in keeping with British tradition."I think there's been a little bit of interest in that," Eisinger says. "We've had brides who said, 'Gee I never thought about a fruit wedding cake.'"American florists might receive more requests to incorporate myrtle into bridal bouquets."This is a tradition started by Queen Victoria," Eisinger says. "Since then, all royal brides have carried a sprig of myrtle in their bouquet."The "tastefully luxe" royal wedding might hasten a return to the kind of lavish affairs that had fallen out of fashion during the recession, she says.In 2010, brides cut back on the guest list as a way of reducing costs. But according to the Knot.com & WeddingChannel.com 2010 Real Weddings Study, the average amount of money spent on a guest remained at $194, the same as it was the previous year.Consumers already have begun to spend more on weddings again, she says.At some local establishments, however plus size prom dresse 2011, the royal wedding has yet to translate to the bottom line.Those passing by Turner Jewelers in Hampton will see a replica of the sapphire engagement ring that William gave to Kate. The display includes photos of William and Prince Harry with their mother, Diana, Princess of Wales. General sales manager Mary Garrison says the replica has generated interest, but no sales yet."Some prospective brides are inquiring about what it would cost to have a ring made like hers," she says.Sapphires are a less costly alternative to the traditional diamond engagement ring -- something that might appeal to prospective bridegrooms, Garrison says. A diamond version of Kate's sapphire engagement ring likely would cost at least $30,000."The ring we have in the store is $5,500," Garrison says. "You can get a much bigger look with the sapphire engagement ring than you can with the diamond."Pam Olivo cheap prom dresses, owner of Bridal Beginning in Mt. Lebanon, says she has a private-label designer who will enable her to produce a replica of Kate's wedding dress fairly quickly."It's going to be very interesting to see the impact she has on our industry," Olivo says."People are intrigued by the upcoming marriage, but every bride's wedding is equally important."Jaime Dray, associate event planner at Trends to Traditions in Cranberry ball gown dresses, says the royal couple might spark a trend for Friday weddings.Tara Ruckert of New Kensington says she's following the details of the royal wedding and probably will record the telecast. But, she says she's not likely to follow William and Kate's lead when it comes to planning her own Aug. 6 wedding to fiance Chris Stevens.Says Ruckert, 26: "If I hadn't bought my dress, I may have waited until after the wedding to see what she wore. But I'm already done." Middleton's dress stirring speculationAs the wedding between Prince William and Catherine Middleton draws near, three things seem to be on everyone's mind: the dress, the dress and the dress.Bloggers, the press and oddsmakers all have speculated on what -- and who -- the future princess will wear as she takes the long walk down the aisle April 29 in Westminster Abbey.Amy Eisinger, an associate editor at the wedding website http://www.theknot.com,says speculation is so keen that those mentioned as just possible designers of Middleton's gown have gained increased name recognition. They include Sarah Burton, Bruce Oldfield,Phillipia Lepley and Daniela Issa Helayel."Even if these people aren't picked, it has created a buzz," Eisinger says.Whoever Middleton chooses, the result might be more widely imitated than the ivory silk-taffeta tumbleweed worn by Diana Spencer in her 1981 wedding to William's father, Prince Charles. Randy Fenoli, of the TLC reality series "Say Yes to the Dress," ranked it as among the worst wedding dresses ever."With all due respect, it wasn't the most flattering dress that we've seen Diana wear A-Line prom dresses," Eisinger says.Middleton, who turned 29 in January cheap prom dresses 2011, is not likely to let a dress wear her. She is more worldly and fashion-forward than Diana, who was a shy, 20-year-old kindergarten teacher at the time of her wedding.Yet even Middleton might have to curtail her individuality in deference to royal tradition, says Diana Williams, vice president of sales and marketing for Maggie Sottero, a Utah-based designer label."I can't possibly imagine that it will be the most fashion-forward," Williams says. "I still think there will be that British reserve, the influence of the royal family."Two wedding gowns from their Sottero-Midgley line, the Emmaline and the Pascal, have been cited by ITV as something that would suit a princess prom dresses 2011, Williams says. The dresses both feature a closely fitted waist, a hallmark of Maggie Sottero.Middleton's dress might feature a full, dramatically flared skirt, a feature favored by many British brides, Williams says."When you think Westminster Abbey and the size and scale cheap grad dresses, she doesn't want to look too diminutive," she says.While mass-produced replicas are likely to roll out mere weeks after the wedding, most major design houses already have produced their fall line of wedding dresses, Williams says. The soonest brides-to-be might see a royal influence is in the spring 2012 collections.Read more: U.S. brides might take cues from royal wedding - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pitt...#ixzz1JB4D9rGz 上一页 目录 下一页 Made by an Unregistered version of eTextWizard V 1.99Topics related articles:2011 Prom DressesLong Prom Dresses2011 prom gownsPlus size prom dressesDesigner Prom Dressesprom DressesProm Dresses 2011Cheap Prom DressesShort Prom Dresses http://avantmom.com/pg/blog/eachti21...1ball-gown-dre http://bzjd.989.at/read.php?tid=35867 http://www.brickappleproject.com/pg/...hort-prom-dres http://www.qiangfan.org/read.php?tid=17489 http://it.hinews.cn/bbs/read.php?tid=463149
