The ruffle- what a fabulous fashion trend!  Here at LulaKate we are all about this new craze. It’s the perfect way to add a bit of flair to your wedding party or rehearsal dinner dress. {Albeit the ruffle is not for everyone, but WHAT IS? That is why at LulaKate you don’t have to dress your entire party in the same dress!}

We have a few styles that already incorporate a ruffled look: the Christy Dress, the Bridget Dress, the Alex Dress and the Meredith Dress, but the list doesn’t stop there. There are so many great ways to incorporate ruffle styles into dresses that we have to limit ourselves- but that doesn’t mean you have to!

You would be surprised what a little ruffle can do for a simple style. In fact; there are so many options that it would be impossible for us to produce them all for our collection. So, if you are a ruffle fan at heart, get creative with our styles, our Bella Bridesmaid stores sure do!

For instance take the Alex ruffle and add it onto the Pearl Dress, it’s super cute (pictured right).Or take the Christy ruffle and add it to the Elle Dress (in fact we will be adding this to our collection in a short time!). Or even the Pam Dress with a Christy ruffle (pictured left). Throw a ruffle on a sash, or insert an exposed waist seam ruffle to the waist of one of our styles for a little extra spice.

We are  more than happy to mix and match ruffles and dress patterns for YOUR wedding party! Just let us know if there is something you’d like to do and we’ll be happy to tell you if it’s possible- and chances are it is. We love seeing you get creative and add your own flair to our designs- who knows you could come up with a fabulous frock we haven’t seen before!

If you have any questions about any of our styles, or want to ask us if a dress idea is possible call us or email us at info@lulakate.com!

We are so excited today because we are featured on Real Simple’s blog for our bridesmaid dresses! How exciting!! In fact, I think just yesterday I was perusing Real Simple for a new recipe, and today they are talking about us! Everyone knows, Real Simple is the place to go place for great ideas and inspiration. Fashion and Beauty blogger Julee Wilson is wearing a LulaKate dress in an upcoming wedding in the Dominican ( can we come?!) and blogs about the many uses for her dress after the wedding. Julee talks about the new wave of bridesmaid dresses that are ultra chic and wearable long after the wedding (that’s what we are hoping!!). She gives some great advice on how to wear the dresses to work, during the day and out to dinner; and true to form, this Real Simple blogger has some great ideas! Check out the full article here, and leave your comments; what is your favorite way to wear your LulaKate dress?
