Instead of the traditional roses and calla lilies, use beautiful wildflowers in shades of green, lime and white.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stunning simple<\/strong> &#8211; pair a tapered formal tux with a flowing chiffon gown for understated glamour. Use unconventional cuts, wrapped bodices and interesting patterns. Highlight a strapless neckline with a hint of embellishment and textured layers in soft silk chiffon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water goddess<\/strong> &#8211; take your inspiration from water and choose a lightweight material which flatters your figure. Add texture and movement with a wrapped bodice and a shirred skirt.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Summer palette<\/strong> &#8211; don&#8217;t be ruled by whites and blacks. Opt for bright outdoor shades like light blue and pink.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Crazy for cream<\/strong> -cream is fast becoming a color of choice for most bridal gowns.
