The Perfect Occasion Skirt

We always find ourselves looking for the perfect holiday or party dress, but what about a really fabulous skirt?! Recently, we had a client design the perfect skirt for any formal occasion and had to share it with all of you.  The skirt is our floor length Angelica skirt with a gathered waist band and finished off beautifully in the back with a self tie bow(which actually hides the zipper too so it looks great and serves a purpose!).  There is no doubt this skirt is going to look great with a black sweater and heels.  For all of you out there who would prefer a different color or length, we have over 200 colors to choose from and all of our skirts and dresses come in any length.  Remember to order you can visit our showroom in Murfreesboro(123 S Church Street), call us at 615.924.7222, or we have just listed this item on our etsy storefront where it can be purchased as well.

Dresses and Skirts for Everyday and Social Occasions


At Kerried Away we dont just have options for the bride and bridal party we also offer great choices for everyday and social occasions.  With Fall upon us and Winter right around the corner, we thought we might highlight a few of our favorite silk solids that would be great on a skirt for work or a dress for a holiday party!  Remember, don't be afraid to go bold!  The hot pink skirt in the picture above is a great example of how much fun a pop of color can be!

Accessories for the Bride and Bridesmaids

Kerried Away offers many accessory options for brides and bridesmaids. Sometimes brides need a little something extra to make her dress her own. The sash below is a great way to add a little sparkle to a wedding dress or even a rehearsal dinner or reception dress.  This sash is an example of just one of many sashes we offer at Kerried Away.

A more casual wedding might call for something a bit different.  The sash below can be made in any color combination.  You can see that we also made pins for the bridesmaids which helps tie the whole look together. 

Hair accessories and jewelry are another great option for your wedding day look.  Here's a peek at a few pieces we favor at Kerried Away.  Regardless of your wedding style, accessories are a great way to make your wedding day attire alittle extra special.

Choosing the Perfect Bridesmaid Dresses

We recently had a great event with Ashely's Bride Guide and Love Bird Style.  During the event we talked alot about wedding style and choosing the right bridesmaid dresses.  We found it only fitting that we share some of these tips with everyone.  Tips are presented through Kerried Away's 3 step design process - 1. Choose You Style, 2. Choose Your Fabric, 3. Choose Your Details

1. Choosing Your Style
Lets remember that women are NOT "One Size Fits All" so think about choosing a style that flatters many body types.  A dress that can be worn again is always a plus.  You will also want to think about your wedding style - Formal? Vintage? Beach?  Check out the dresses that one of our brides choose below...You'll notice its a one shoulder dress with a slightly gathered skirt both of which are great on many body types.
 
100% Dupioni Silk in Color Platinum - Patricia Dress w/Ruffle Detail 
 2. Choosing Your Fabric
 Cotton, Silk, Blends, and More!  These are all options at Kerried Away but it is important to choose a fabric that will flow with your wedding style.  Think Cotton for more casual weddings and Taffeta for evening affairs.  When thinking about color, first think about your wedding colors and then think about which ones will look great on all skin tones.  Brights and neutrals are always great choices.  Outdoor or Vintage Wedding?? Don't be afraid of mixing solids with patterns!  The Kerried Away dress below would be great for an outdoor spring or summer wedding.
Cotton Melanie Dress
Lastly....the Details
3. Choosing Your Details
Ruffles, Bows, Pockets and Sashes are a few details we offer at Kerried Away.  You might think about highlighting your Maid of Honor with a detachable bow.  The great thing about this is the wearability aspect - she gets 2 looks out of one dress!   The rose colored Taffeta dress below is a great example of 2 looks in one. 

This is also the phase in the design process where you think about cost...Style, Fabric, and Details all affect the cost of dresses.  A general price range is $150-$350.  If you fall in love with a style or fabric that is more expensive, consider covering a portion of it as a gift.

Your bridesmaid dresses are very important...afterall, having the right dresses can make a big difference in how your bridal party photographs turn out.  We hope our tips prove helpful as you start looking for your perfect bridesmaid dresses!
