For all of the Brides to be out there, this is the time of year for some of the best bridal fairs across the country and here at Calico Laine we are always excited to be part of the plans! Whether you are a dressmaker planning your latest designs, or simply choosing your favourite fabrics by yourself, we are confident you will find what you are looking for within our range. As well as some of the more traditional shades for bridal dressmaking such as white, ivory and champagne, there are also many new trends that take a more colourful approach. Having a coloured bridal gown is a fantastic way to start planning a contemporary wedding and in today's blog, I would like to take a look at some of the colour options available to you.... For the wedding dress itself, the most popular bridal fabric we stock is duchess satin which is a fantastic quality, heavier weight of material that is great for the most classic styles of dresses. We are always adding fresh shades to our selection, so why not see what takes your fancy?! One of our most popular shades at the moment is coral, which is set to be another one of the hottest trending colours for 2013! If it is just a slight twist on traditional shades you are after, another option to consider using could be either gold or coffee -  both still elegant colours, but with a modern finish! The options really are endless when it comes to bridal dressmaking, so do feel free to browse through our website, and should you have any queries please don't hesitate to contact us on 0151 336 3939. Also, don't forget to follow us on our Facebook and Twitter pages to keep up to date with all of the latest news and special offers! Until next time, Calico Laine
