Red Carpet Dresses for Less: CMA Awards 2012

The 2012 Country Music Awards was held on last Thursday in Nashville, Tenn. As always, we captured many stylish red carpet dresses. More specifically, we were attracted by three trends: textured embellishments, chic black and white and sexy deep V. But how to have these look in a budget-friendly way? Just check out 3 beautiful dresses inspired by each of the three trends:

1. Textured Embellished Dress

Embellishments are pretty much always in style, but for this red carpet, Taylor Swift wore gowns with floral embroidery to create a one-of-a-kind look. Textured embellishments take the print to a whole new level and can create a red carpet-worthy look.

How to Choose a Perfect Wedding Veil

We know many brides choose not to wear a wedding veil nowadays. However, not only wedding veils make brides look more gracious and elegant, but with more creative styles, they have become popular in bridal fashion. Here at DressilyMe.com, we believe that choosing a right veil can amp up your bridal look. But how to choose? Read on to learn a few tips and some fabulous pieces from DressilyMe.

Tips for Choosing Perfect Wedding Veils

• Consider the length. Long veils can look fabulous with dresses with no train or a very short train, but medium length wedding veils are perfect for dresses with details in the bust or waist. While short lengths such like birdcage veils are hot these years especially for brides with ultra short hairstyle, they can be hard to pull off. The most flattering to rock this veil is to pair with a high neck wedding dress. 

• Think about your hairstyle and the veil style itself. When you’re trying to choose the style of the veil, your wedding dress will play a big factor as well as your hairstyle. If your dress is more on the elaborate side, you should stick with a simple and elegant veil such as fingertip veils. However, if your dress turns to be a simple without beadings, lace or appliques, go for sophisticated veils like the flusher or flyaway. 

• Keep the color match. Make sure that your veil will match your dress perfectly. There are many dany dresses in pink or yellow undertones and you’ll need to select a veil that works perfectly.
