Bright neon colors had a huge presence on the 2011 Spring/Summer runways. Luckily, designers today are getting it right and these rainbow hues look much different than they did in the 1980’s! The combination of sleek design and neon color is feeling, oh-so-chic! While Spring and Summer brides may not be asking their maids to wear electric blue- that doesn’t mean these vibrant colors cannot find their way onto your registry or bridesmaid gift list! Take a look at some of these bright ideas for fun ways to use neon this season!
2) Jil Sander has always been an advocate for bright hues, so it is no surprise her Spring/Summer runway looks got extra attention this year. Wear this Jil Sander look with your favorite bauble necklace to an engagement party, shower, or even your rehearsal dinner! Then, wear it again on your honeymoon with a simple white tank. If Jil Sander prices don’t fit into your budget- BCBG’s Sofia Pleated Full-Length Skirt is a more affordable option. I have the BCBG version and I have been living in it!
5) Pack these Ray-Ban sunglasses for your honeymoon. The bright colors in the collection are so fun, and the classic cat eye shape looks great on almost every face!
6) Not your momma’s kitchen- KitchenAid has added some style to their standup mixer. Your registry just got a little more exciting!
