Monochrome. Is. Everywhere. From catwalks to your local high street, to street stylista bloggers, to A listers at award ceremonies, this is a trend that has captured the imagination of the fashion industry.
I find it to be classic look that comes with lots of options: stick to one or two monochrome items, such as a skirt and black high heels, and add a splash of colour by wearing a bright pink top (or any colour which takes your fancy). Alternatively, keep your outfit monochrome from head to toe, and add colour into your look by using your makeup – a bright red lippie for example, or a cobalt blue nail polish (which is also a huge trend at the moment). Don’t be afraid to accessorise – colourful earrings, a print scarf or statement necklace can also lend a more playful look.
Monochrome can also work well as a theme for your wedding. It can be a very striking and glamorous style which makes a classy statement and could be included in a multitude of wedding day elements such as your flowers, wedding invites and décor!!
Perhaps the most exciting element of the monochrome wedding style is how you can integrate it into the outfits of the wedding party! It may be a step too far for your wedding dress, or a really inventive move, I’ll leave to you to decide! But it can definitely be incorporated into your bridesmaids dresses, and let’s face it, when it comes to suits and formalwear, men have been wearing it as both a classic and alternative look for decades if not longer!
If you are looking for a traditional feel to your wedding, perhaps you are unsure about your bridesmaids wearing any kind of white or cream. Nowadays I think more guests wear cream, and that this is to be expected after trends such as lace, and the amount of celebs who wear cream or white on red carpets. Wearing monochrome can be a nice way to complement the bride.
I hope these ideas give you food for thought, let me know about your monochrome weddings!
