2012 Trend: The Peplum

Most of you probably know that Peplums are indeed one of the big trends for 2012 but most aren't sure how or where to wear it.  A peplum, by definition, is a short overskirt or ruffle attached to a jacket, blouse, or dress and is really designed to show the curve of the hip and create the illusion of a smaller waist. 

How Brides and Bridesmaid Can Wear It:
At Kerried Away the Kerri and Lane dresses are our two options of a peplum shown below.  Peplums are great for the bride or bridesmaids.  Brides might wear a cream or white peplum dress to the rehearsal dinner or going away outfit and have her bridesmaids wear a peplum as their dress for the wedding day.  If a bride just loves the look of a peplum she might even consider a peplum wedding dress.  The bridal gowns below are some of our personal favorites.

Ines Di Santo

Monique Lhuillier

How To Wear It Everyday:

The simipliest way to wear a peplum is on a dress but there are other ways to incorporate it into your style as well.  Image from Polyvore below shows you just how many different options there are.  Pair the dresses with heels and bangles or a necklace and the tops with jeans or leggings.  And the skirts paired with a blouse create the perfect work outfit. 

Hope this short guide helps you as you enjoy the search for your perfect peplum!

Alexis and Marcus's Big Day!

We are so excited to share a bit of this beautiful wedding with you!  Alexis and Marcus were married in Lincoln, Nebraska on April 21, 2012.  Alexis choose Daffodil Dupioni for her bridesmaid dresses and each flower girl tutu was made of 20 yards of tulle with a Daffodil Dupioni sash to match the bridesmaids.  Alexis knew from the beginning that she wanted her girls to be happy with their dresses so instead of picking a style she let each girl pick exactly what they wanted in the color she had chosen.  You will see in the photos how well this came together. 

We hope you enjoy the photos of the couples beautiful wedding!  Congratulations to Alexis and Marcus - we wish you all the happiness in the world!
