Olivelli owner Karen de Villiers sure keeps updated with global trends by attending expos in Europe & America and of course staying in touch with major designers. “I would love to share some of the latest trends with future brides and with all visitors to our website” says Karen.
Lavender joins the pastels
First up is the broadening of the bridal gown colour palette. At a time all gowns were White but Blush, Ivory and Champagne recently made their debut and are very prominent and popular in wedding aisles! Now there’s a newcomer…. top designers have started making waves with the cool shade of Lavender!
Dare to be different in a head-to-toe look of whisper-thin tulle or lace and lead the way in a Lavender gown or Ivory gown with Lavender undertones!
PS … watch this space for the advent of light, heavenly blue….
Lavender undertones are on trend in Honor by Rebecca Ingram with soft Lavender under Ivory tulle and lace. Click here to book a fitting…
Halternecks
Designers have gone crazy for high-neck halters this season, following on Megan Markle’s famous Stella McCartney dress! Regal and elegant these are particularly good for taller brides and also brides with fabulous shoulders and slender necks. Halter-necks are gorgeous on any style dress so why not get with this trend! Olivelli has several for you to choose from.

Feather fantasy
Suddenly, designers have gone all out with feather touches. Think feather details, either soft or bold, plumes galore, feather-edged boleros and little feather details.
When it comes to this trend, don’t skimp. Be theatrical, yet chic. Feathers are part of the 2019 trend whether edgy or minimal.
Feathers, feathers everywhere … Maggie Sottero’s Ally will arrive soon at Olivelli. But right now, this exquisite feathered bolero (E184) is in stock. Click here to book an early fitting…

Minimalist vibes…
Here, in elegant crepe: McCall, Evangelina & D2473.

So, if you’re recently engaged and prepping for your big day but an elaborately embellished gown is not for you, Olivelli has you covered. You’ll fall in love with our carefully selected assortment of gowns for the minimalist bride.
