Marrying Style

The flowers have blossomed and the clouds are clearing making way for the summer sun to make its grand debut. With the arrival of the month of June come the ever-popular summer weddings. Many brides decide to have outdoor day weddings for a more casual feel that reflects their personality. This serves as a challenge for many guests who are unsure of whether to wear Sunday best attire or a black tie dress. We suggest picking something in between because ceremonies tend to last longer than expected and sitting in a heavy or corseted formal gown may be uncomfortable; however, you do not want to risk the chance of appearing underdressed either. Dresses with a pop of color in shorter lengths are the ideal choice in order to stand out from the crowd for all of the right reasons but keep all of the attention on the blushing bride.

This bold number does not need too many accessories and can be worn with a number of different colored shoes from taupe, to silver, to gold for a look that is uniquely you.

The simplicity allows for you to accessorize this dress with vibrant jewelry or keep the look clean with a dainty bracelet.

Jovani 88934Golden goddess in this sleeveless empire waist short dress featuring a breathtaking lace overlay. This fantastic dress speaks for itself and does not need any jewelry, an amazing up-do hairstyle will suffice and not overpower you while showing off the sexy open back.

While weddings are all about the lovely bride and groom, guests go through great measures to dress to impress. Day weddings can be challenging to dress for especially when dealing with the unpredictable elements. One of the fabulous aspects of the dresses above is that you can wear them to day weddings but they are easily reusable and interchangeable to use for other special occasions like a wedding shower or business party.

Life of the Party

Pageant-Mania Is Upon Us

Every seasoned beauty queen knows that she needs a walk in closet just for her pageant wardrobe. Between competition clothing and appearance cocktail dresses  it becomes difficult to manage and keep track of what one actually needs. The biggest nightmare stems from the realization that you do not have an appropriate dress for that appearance tomorrow or worse for the pageant this weekend! With proper planning and some pre-shopping you can ensure that you will not be ripping your hair out last minute looking for the ideal short dress because you will simply be able to pop into your closet and pull out a dress from your personal boutique.

1. Reigning Royalty Dress

This is your time in the spotlight. You have been a fabulous titleholder and your reign is coming to an end. You can be as flashy and ornate as your heart’s content because all eyes will be on you. For most events besides the final crowning ceremony you can wear a gorgeous party dress to be comfortable but be sure to choose a color that pops (and you can never have enough crystal beading).

jovani 93076

2. Visiting Royalty Dress

Never step into someone else’s limelight when attending a pageant as visiting royalty. Your time will come for you to be the shining star; however, when attending a pageant you should celebrate the reigning titleholders and be respectful by wearing a classy short dress that is not over the top. You will be sitting for extended periods of time so choosing dresses without heavy beading and corseted bodices are a practical choice.

jovani 78174

3. Opening Number Dress

Dresses for opening numbers are tricky because they usually require a specific color scheme. The most popular colors are red, white, and pink. You can go in two directions when choosing the ideal dress, you can choose a simple dress like this red dress with lace embroidery detail that serves as the perfect palette to play up with bold accessories or you can choose a dress that already has a lot of beaded details that does not need additional accessories besides earrings. The great thing about these three colors is that they can be re-worn for holiday appearances such as parades and galas.

Fun and flirty short cocktail dresses provide the perfect opportunity to showcase your personality. Unlike evening gowns, these dresses are easy to walk in, flattering, and comfortable.

You have fantasized about your perfect night for the last few months and put countless hours into planning every last detail including where you will go once the venue door has been locked.

An icon in the making, is how we view the beautiful and talented Priyanka Chopra. Pryanka Chopra, has become one of Bollywood’s highest-paid actresses and one of the most popular celebrities in India. We were honored to see that Priyanka Chopra wore Jovani’s iconic dress #7757 in her recent video, “Exotic” featuring multi-platinum artist, Pit Bull.

Priyanka looked breath-taking Jovani dress #7757.  The singer was memorizing in dress #7757, which is richly decorated with heavy embellishments and sheer underlay, for an exotic interest. Jovani Fashion has found a creative way to keep this silhouette iconic, offering dress # 7757 in array of colors with complimenting iridescent embellishments.

Priyanka Copra is revolutionary, so we thought it was an excellent choice to wear Jovani’s bestselling dress in her Exotic video. This collaboration is a work of art.
