Hi Friends,
Hope you are having a nice weekend! Sorry I disappeared for a week but I’m working hard on my new e-store and re-vamping our website. Big Things ahead for the wedding and party world…
So I’m loving all the new little WHITE dresses popping up in all the wedding design houses. Amsale, Oscar de la Renta, so many wonderful designers!
I’m finding that alot of my brides are now keeping their wedding gown on til the end of the evening. What I would LOVE to bring back is the “Going Away Outfit”. When all my friends and I got married we didn’t change our outfit to continue dancing but we actually changed our outfit for the departure. The last dance took place in the Going Away Outfit, the groom even changed out of his tuxedo and into a suit or nice pants and a button down shirt. I loved “The Exit!”
But now with the popularity of the “After Party” the last people to leave are usually the Bride and Groom! No send off …I really can’t wait for the old tradition to become new again…The guests line up on either sides to make an aisle and the couple runs through as the guest toss, petals or at that time it was rice…the decorated car was waiting at the end of the line and off they would go…the guests then went back in to dance or say goodbye to the host and hostess…
Did you notice that every designer is loving designing for Bridal! Wedding fashion is so important not only for trends , it even lends itself for giving us inspiration for decor for an entire event. The little white dress has so many uses now engagement parties, showers, rehearsal dinner, wedding, brunch. Enjoy the pics of some cute Going Away Outfits

Mindy I couldn’t agree with you more! I love the idea of a “going away outfit” and adore when I see modern brides doing it. I wanted that Stephanie James Couture suit oh-so-bad for my get away outfit!! Wish I could have done that.
I love the ol fashioned “Going Away Outfit.” It was the way all the guests got to say goodbye and good luck to the new Mr. and Mrs. I had a beautiful turquoise linen suit made for my “Going Away” outfit. Except I partied till the end and never got to wear it!
LOVE this! I definitely am a fan of the fun exits! Let’s bring it back!!
Completely agree with you Mindy! My wife wore a “going away outfit” for our wedding and it was such a timeless moment to be sent off in that fashion. I’m with you… let’s bring that tradition back as it’s long overdue.
