Now usually I don’t do this, this is definitely not a celebrity gossip site. But you have to give credit when credit is due.
So I was surfing the internet when I came across the
headline that Solange Knowles just got married. I decided to follow the link
because who doesn’t love love and weddings? I more than likely always click on
links to wedding photos or celebrations. I also like to get ideas about my big day.
The wedding of Solange Knowles and Alan Ferguson, congratulations to the couple
on their nuptials, gave me plenty of ideas.

First off, I love the quirkiness and playfulness of the
ceremony. The fact they arrived riding white vintage bikes, and took party pictures in an aging, borderline dilapidated, building with everyone wearing white,
gave the photos in instant classic vibe. The wedding seemed very vintage and
chic. Two things that I am all for. It also says to brides and grooms, “this
is your special day, do it your way.” It was understated and absolutely wonderful.
I am not going to be a traditional bride and it is nice to know that I am in
good company.

So let’s start by saying I love cream, I love gold, I love
the combination of cream/white and gold, I love jumpsuits, and I LOVE capes! I
was thinking about writing a piece on fall summer trends and I landed on capes.
Capes are so wonderful! I tend to lean towards pieces that were popular in a
time now past. Capes have that vintage
feeling, but they are also very dramatic, luxurious, and regal. Let me just say
this again, I LOVE CAPES! I can just imagine myself in New York City with
knee-high boots, a thick beautiful cape, a muff for my hands or elbow length
leather gloves. So classy, and so classic. So chic!

Back to Solange’s particular ensemble. Everything is right
about her outfit. It kind of feels like a throwback to the seventies, but the
cream color, the material, and the plunging neckline, not to mention the cape
of course, gives it a wonderful playfulness while remaining classy and
gorgeous. And of course, nods to her red lip and afro, two of my staple looks.
P.S. She didn’t only wear a cape with her cream jumpsuit!

I like her outfit, as well.
ReplyDeleteThat model, I didn't like her cape though.
This was a fun wedding. I've been to one wedding, and it was boring. This looks like you could laugh, play some music, and truly enjoy two people committing to each other. I love the length of her cape, and her 'fro was nice.
The red lipstick? In my opinion, doesn't look good on her, but to each her own.
That building is classic!
Yeah, I thought the same thing about this wedding. It looked like a wedding you could have a lot of fun at. Love the building, cape, and fro. I kind or agree about this particular red lip, but because I love a red lip, it worked for me. The dress had great contrast with her skin tone.
