Essential guide to dress your bridesmaids: ten trends of 2022

Leave a reply

Your time has finally come, you are getting married and you are going to be able to say the long awaited “I do” that so many women long to say in their lives. Now, although weddings are a wonderful event that always generates enthusiasm among all the guests and among the people who help the bride and groom to organize the big day, they also involve a lot of extra work, especially for the bride who has the difficult task of choosing the design of the dresses for her bridesmaids.

And although it may seem like a simple game for little girls, having the task of choosing the right dresses for your bridesmaids is really complicated. The reality is that for many brides this task is a real nightmare that only ends up generating more stress and make them see the wedding day as a deadline and not as the best day of their lives. Because yes, getting the bridesmaid dresses right is not always easy and there are thousands of weddings in which the bridesmaids have stolen the bride’s thunder by being “overdressed” or, on the contrary, “in too bad taste”.

For all these reasons, and because in Cicinia we believe that a bride should not have to suffer while preparing what will surely be one of the most important days of her life, below we are going to give a detailed list with the 10 most talked about trends in bridesmaid dresses this season. A list in which we will talk about the most fashionable colors, textures, cut or headdresses that bridesmaids of any wedding can wear with pride knowing that they have succeeded and that their dress is perfect for the occasion.

Take note!

10 Stylish Bridesmaid Dresses in 2022

1 .Warm and earth tones

During the previous year, warm and earthy colors were a trend, especially among bridesmaids at fall weddings, offering a wide chromatic versatility that favors all skin tones and combines perfectly with a wide variety of dress cuts. In addition, opting for a terracotta or cinnamon tone if you are getting married in the middle of the harvest month is a very nice way to theme your wedding and create a beautiful photo album that will perfectly mimic the landscape of the season.

2 Nature theme and geometric patterns

After spending more than half a year away from our loved ones and isolated in our own homes, our need to reconnect with nature and the outdoors intensified and that is something that was clearly reflected in bridal fashion. If you are a bride who is not afraid of flashy colors or overloaded designs with floral or fruit prints, going for some classic geometric cut dresses with some bright green tones or with prints full of flowers and varied colors can also be a winning bet.

3 Pastel and satin dresses

Pastel tones have always been one of the most used looks at weddings and all brides love it for the romantic and delicate air it brings to the ceremony. On the other hand, the fashion of satin bridesmaid dresses is back, a style full of elegance that combined with a pastel tone your bridesmaid dresses will be beautiful.

4 Mauve shades

Mauve has been in fashion for years and among bridesmaids as well. Everyone knows that lilac is a symbol of feminism, so if you want to fill your wedding with this powerful and striking color, do not hesitate to choose a dress of any cut along with the tone that empowers all women. With it your bridesmaids will never go unnoticed.

5. Cow Neck Dresses

And you will think, cow neck? But haven’t they been out of fashion for more than two decades? Yes and no, dear friend. Cow necks were a trend throughout the 90’s and the most influential women in the world wore all kinds of dresses with this neck, however although they had been missing for years there are many evidence of their return. 

Go for a cowl neck on your bridesmaid dresses and you will make them look light, flirty and elegant at the same time. They have it all!

6. All in pink

Pink is the color par excellence of weddings, all bridesmaids know that there is a high probability of ending up in a dress of this beautiful and delicate shade. The reason? Very simple, it is a neutral tone that combines with any cut and headdress, it is not too flashy and flatters any figure and skin tone. You will only have one more thing to do if you decide to go for pink: choose among its many shades, it is full of possibilities!

7. High necklines

High necklines and spaghetti straps are another favorite choice among brides for their bridesmaids, so deciding to go for a classic satin cut dress with a nice high neckline and long straps on both sides will always be a success. 

And why stop using the usual looks, if they always look good? Do not hesitate, they are a win win!

8. Tropical prints and orange tones

Are you getting married on the beach? Aren’t you afraid that your wedding will look like something out of an American romantic comedy filmed in Hawaii? Then don’t hesitate to go for tropical prints with orange tones, because they have been in fashion for two years and wherever they appear, they triumph. They are fun and will never, ever make your bridesmaids look boring or underdressed, everyone will look at them!

9. Royalty-inspired wedding dresses

We’ve all admired wedding dresses from royal weddings and sighed thinking about how we wish we could wear a dress similar to what women like Diana of Wales or Kate Middleton wore on their big days. Well, trying to imitate their dresses is now also a trend and there are many brides who choose to recreate the designs of royal weddings in their bridesmaids: swan necks, crepe fabric, tiaras of rhinestones, etc.. 

Just search the internet and you will find hundreds of designs from the most famous royal weddings. Get inspired and create your own fairytale wedding!

10. Puffed sleeves with bright colors

In recent years, old traditions have been left behind that forced all the dresses at a wedding to be discreet and elegant. Now the extravagant is in and weddings are an explosion of colors and textures in which current fashion is mixed with tradition, being this year puffed sleeves and bright colors like green or fuchsia some of the favorite bets.

These 10 are some of the trends with which from Cicinia’s team of stylists we believe that any bride will be able to find the ideal style for her bridesmaids and have a wedding worthy of being remembered. 

If you want to know more about trends or ask us anything else related to your wedding wardrobe, do not hesitate to contact us. We are a brand specialized in bridal fashion with a lot of experience and we will be happy to assist you!

Marvel Second Printings

Leave a reply

Fans will get a chance to dive into Marvel Comics‘ most exciting new launches and ongoing series with new printings of “MARAUDERS ANNUAL #1,” “MOON KNIGHT #7,” “SILK #1,” “DAREDEVIL: WOMAN WITHOUT FEAR #1,” “SILVER SURFER REBIRTH #1”, “DEVIL’S REIGN #3,” and “CONAN THE BARBARIAN #1 FACSIMILE EDITION!” These sold-out issues will be available at comic shops starting on March 9, complete with new second printing covers. 

No one is safe from Kingpin‘s wrath in Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto‘s “DEVIL’S REIGN #3.” New York City stands at the brink of disaster as MAYOR WILSON FISK has at last reached a breaking point, with an army of supervillains at his back, and a deputized crew of supervillainous THUNDERBOLTS on the streets and in every police station. Worse still, he’s put the Marvel Universe’s most powerful tools into (all six) hands of one of its most diabolical minds, unaware of the disaster that could befall the entire city as a result! As a gauntlet of supervillains stands between Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Daredevil and liberating the heroes who have been captured by Fisk’s law enforcement, they’re all about to learn that the danger is closer than they ever thought possible.

Chip Zdarsky and Rafael De Latorre‘s “DAREDEVIL: WOMAN WITHOUT FEAR #1” brings readers the next pulse-pounding chapter in the saga of New York City’s Guardian Devil, this time starring Elektra as Daredevil! This continuation of Zdarsky’s landmark DAREDEVIL run spins directly out of the shocking revelations in the pages of DEVIL’S REIGN! Elektra is the world’s deadliest assassin—and she’s taken a vow not to kill. Someone puts themselves directly in her path with deadly consequences. What else would you expect from the Marvel Universe’s Greatest Hunter?!

A new crew of X-Men set sail in Steve Orlando and Creees Lee‘s “MARAUDERS ANNUAL #1”! With Kate Pryde at the helm, the Marauders are ready to renew their mission of mutant rescue! She’s got the mission—all she needs now is a new boat and a fresh crew to match. Pryde and Bishop must unite a crew of mutants, new and old, to spring Daken from imprisonment at the hands of a leader who’s as cruel as he is charismatic: the primal provocateur known as Brimstone Love! It’s the Marauders versus the Theater of Pain, a torture troupe that’s set up shop in Xavier’s School’s old backyard! Come aboard for the first adventure as Orlando takes the helm with the X-Men’s sea-faring mutant team.

Joined by artist Federico Sabbatini, Jed MacKay‘s hit run on Moon Knight continues in “MOON KNIGHT #7!” How do you fight someone that no one knows? Moon Knight is out for blood and hits the streets armed only with a name, but he soon finds out that in the twilight half-world of NYC supervillainy, sometimes the streets hit back. And while he’s fighting his way through the super-crime underworld, he’d better watch his back.

The “best character ever” is back in her own series and about to glam up the whole Marvel Universe in Rainbow Rowell and Roge Antonio‘s “SHE-HULK #1!” Jennifer Walters is no longer savage and needs to put her life back together. She’s got a career to rebuild, friends to reconnect with (and maybe represent in a court of law), and enemies to… well, she may not want to connect with them, but they are definitely going to connect with her. And the last page of this first issue is going to send Jen down a road she’s never traveled and that will shake up her life and possibly the whole Marvel Universe.

Don’t miss the comics debut of stunning storyteller Emily Kim and the return of legendary comic artist Takeshi Miyazawa in “SILK #1!” Cindy Moon returns as the web-spinning Spider-Hero SILK in an all-new, all-star series! As Silk gains popularity in the public eye, Cindy is questioning her place in the world. But existentialism will have to wait when a powerful new villain is turned loose! In a race against the clock, Silk discovers the dangers of ancient Korean magic—and social media.

Legendary creators Ron Marz and Ron Lim return to tell a story set during their fan-favorite run of SILVER SURFER in “SILVER SURFER REBIRTH #1!” Someone has stolen the Reality Gem, an object that allows the user to fulfill any wish no matter the consequences! But whoever has taken it is doing things like bringing back the dead hero Captain Mar-Vell. It’s up to Silver Surfer to team up with the least likely of allies, Thanos, to find the Gem and restore reality to its proper form. The second printing variant cover of “SILVER SURFER REBIRTH #1” will feature all-new artwork by Ron Lim.

Also returning to shops will be the special facsimile edition of “CONAN THE BARBARIAN (1970) #1!” Over fifty years ago, legendary writer Roy Thomas teamed with visionary artist Barry Windsor-Smith for the first comic book adaptation of Robert E. Howard‘s pulp novel icon—introducing True Believers to swords and sorcery in the Mighty Marvel Manner! Conan comic books soon became a huge, industry-changing success story – and it all began with “CONAN THE BARBARIAN #1” in 1970! Join the young Cimmerian warrior as he and an Aesir raiding party invade the land of Vanaheim—setting Conan on a path of adventure leading to winged demons, a dark temple, and the mysterious Star-Stone, which would offer a vision of Conan’s future as a king! It’s one of the all-time great Marvel comic books, boldly re-presented in its original form, ads and all!

Iron Man Twenty

Leave a reply

Over the course of Chris Cantwell‘s run on IRON MAN, Tony Stark has traveled across the galaxy, battled against Korvac, and struggled with gaining new cosmic powers—but he hasn’t faced this epic journey alone. By his side has been his new love interest and partner, Patsy Walker aka Hellcat! In true Marvel fashion, the pair’s blossoming romance has developed amidst a backdrop of interdimensional conflicts and Celestial-level threats. Now in May’s “IRON MAN #20”, Tony, back on his feet and seeking much-needed stability, will bend down on one knee and ask Patsy to marry him! Could the next Marvel Comics wedding be on the horizon, or will more chaos keep these lovers apart? 

Here’s what Cantwell had to say about the exciting future of Tony and Patsy’s relationship:

“Since Issue #1, bringing Patsy Walker/Hellcat into this story just felt right. She was the perfect kind of grounded presence in Tony Stark’s hyper-octane world that I believed could help bring more balance to his life. Patsy Walker’s best super-power in my mind has always been her ability to be human and sincere. And like Tony, she has had her share of demons in the past (some literal in her case). Both Patsy and Tony have gone through fundamental transformations in this story. And as the dust settles, and Tony sees Patsy as this phenomenal force in his life, he does the only thing he can think to do in order to keep her near him and connected: he proposes they be together for the rest of their lives. Of course, marriage is freighted for Patsy in ways it is for a few other Marvel characters. Just one of her previous relationships took her to the very depths of hell. It’s not an easy decision for her in the least.”

Find out Patsy Walker’s answer when “IRON MAN #20” hits stands on May 30! In the meantime, stay tuned for news about “IRON MAN/HELLCAT ANNUAL #1”, a special issue coming in June!

Wedding Must-Haves

Leave a reply

Happy wedding season! Let’s look into some marital must-haves to make your special day perfect.

  • DJ/Band

This is an absolute must-have, of course. Music plays such an important role in having a romantic, enjoyable, and memorable celebration. Finding a DJ isn’t super hard, and their services can vary in price. A band, on the other hand, can be a little more difficult. However, bands provide a different atmosphere to add to the day that the guests can look forward to.  Music keeps things lively and energetic, and is sure to get everyone dancing.

  • Barda

Whether guests pay for drinks or you provide an open tab, having a bar is very necessary. Having both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks for guests during the reception is a great party idea.

  • Photographer/Videographer

Photographers have always been a necessity for weddings. They capture beautiful moments to always look back on to remember the wonderful day. Something that this generation has made more popular for weddings is videographers. Personally, looking back at videos is one of the best ways to relive a memory. Videographers not only film, but also put together a romantic short films to re-watch the most precious moments.

  • All You Can Eat Appetizers

Who wants to celebrate when everyone is hangry? Having consistent appetizers is so important to keep guests happy. Sometimes, people don’t love sitting down for a huge meal–especially when drinking and dancing. Having small bites will keep everyone happy.

  • A Playlist

Make sure you have an idea of what songs you do and don’t want to play. Don’t stress about it on the day of!

  • Wedding Direction Signs

Not every wedding needs direction signs, and honestly, sometimes guests don’t even bother looking. However, providing directions to parking, restrooms, reception, food, ceremony and other wedding venue locations could be beneficial for guests.

  • Wedding Menu

If you choose to have a buffet or serve the same meal to every guest, the wedding menu is not needed. However, wedding menus can be beneficial and guests will appreciate having dish options.

  • Sparklers

Sparklers are usually used for the bride and groom’s grand exit. They add a beautiful and spectacular touch to moments, photos and videos.

  • Plan For Inclement Weather

If the wedding is planned for outdoors, it’s always important to think of a plan B, just in case the weather changes. Coming up with a backup plan will save you the stress.

  • Just Relax

Forgetting about materialistic things for a moment. Remember to enjoy every step of the wedding planning journey and your special day. Everything happens for a reason and will fall into place, no matter how stressful it seems at the time.

Flora Cash shares new single – Chronically Beautiful

Leave a reply

RIAA platinum-certified indie-pop duo Flora Cash has today unveiled a tender and reflective new single. “Chronically Beautiful” is available now via the Swedish/American band’s own Flower Money Records at all DSPs and streaming services.

“’Chronically Beautiful’ was sparked when we were having a conversation about what it means to be beautiful,” says Flora Cash, “especially when looked at through the lens of real love. It’s not an acute, momentary perception; it’s the feeling that the person you love; the person that you waited your whole life for has a beauty that transcends any given moment and isn’t dependent on what they happen to be wearing or how their face looks that day or week or month; they’re chronically beautiful.”

Listen to “Chronically Beautiful”

“Chronically Beautiful” marks the latest new music from Flora Cash following the arrival earlier this year of the poignant new single, “Soul Mate,” available now for streaming and download. Now boasting more than 2.5M worldwide streams thus far, the track is joined by an equally powerful official music video streaming now here.

Listen To “Soul Mate”

Watch “Soul Mate”

Flora Cash was born in 2012 when Minneapolis-native Cole Randall uploaded his music to Soundcloud and caught the attention of Sweden-based Shpresa Lleshaj. The pair soon began playing music together, forming a relationship that would eventually blossom into marriage. A series of independent releases were followed by an acclaimed seven-song mini-LP, Can Summer Love Last Forever?, in March 2016. Flora Cash’s full-length debut album, Nothing Lasts Forever (And It’s Fine), arrived the following year, highlighted by the global smash single, “You’re Somebody Else.” First released in 2017, the RIAA platinum-certified single has proven a true viral phenomenon, currently boasting over 250M worldwide streams while ranking as one of Shazam’s Most Shazamed Alternative Songs in both 2019 and 2020. Hailed by Forbes as “arguably the most intriguing song on the radio this past year,” “You’re Somebody Else” was equally popular at multi-format outlets nationwide, reaching #1 at Alternative and Triple-A while also ascending to the top 5 on Billboard’s “Hot Rock Songs” chart. The track – which has also inspired countless TikTok videos in recent months – is joined by an official lyric video, now with over 133M views via YouTube alone.

As creative and engaging onstage as they are in the studio, Flora Cash lit up stages around the world with a wide range of international live dates, including tours alongside Sir Sly, Joywave, lovelytheband, Judah & the Lion, and AJR as well as festival appearances at Life is Beautiful, Bumbershoot, Austin City Limits Music Festival, Hangout Music Fest, Firefly Music Festival, and the KROQ Weenie Roast & Luau, to name but a few. The duo is currently slated to perform at Hamburg, Germany’s MS Dockville 2021, set for Friday, August 13th; additional dates will be announced soon. For updates, please visit here.

In 2020, Flora Cash released their much-anticipated sophomore album, Baby, It’s Okay, highlighted by the hit singles, “Missing Home” and “They Own This Town” and praised by Atwood Magazine for its “stunning display of stripped back, emotive songwriting, minimal introductions and impressive vocal lines are laced over lush, electro-pop instrumentals as delicate as they are organic, all delving into relational themes…a stunning second album.”

“Well-thought-out, congruent, and brilliantly detailed, Flora Cash explores themes such as post-breakup blues and coming to terms with oneself, all coated in melancholic and bittersweet vibes.” – ATWOOD MAGAZINE

“A sound that’s equal parts earthy and ethereal” – SUBSTREAM

“Bitingly bittersweet (Flora Cash’s) crystalline guitar and spine-tingling melodies give voice to that feeling of emptiness that’s recently become all-too-familiar.” – THE LINE OF BEST FIT

“Alongside artists like Billie Eilish, Maggie Rogers, and Francis and the Lights, Flora Cash is on the front lines of modern musicians redefining alt-pop by injecting their music with heartfelt conviction.” – EARMILK

Sum 41 x Catching Fire

Leave a reply

Sum 41 has dropped a reimagined version of their previously released track “Catching Fire” featuring nothing,nowhere. Deryck Whibley wrote this ballad for his wife, Ari Whibley, after her suicide attempt and they are& talking about it for the first time ever in hopes to raise awareness during Mental Health Awareness Month.

Sum 41 fans from all over the world collectively submitted their stories of loss seen in the beautifully shot black and white video for “Catching Fire.” The vision behind the powerful video-turned-memorial is to shine light on suicide prevention and help tackle the stigma behind mental health head on. The video was directed by John Asher, who previously directed Sum 41’s music video for “Never There.”

On the new single, Whibley shares “Writing this song was cathartic for me in dealing with my emotions for the first time about almost losing my wife to suicide. When I first played it for her, it was the beginning of us having an open conversation about what she went through. In sharing her story, we are hoping to let others know they are not alone and that if you need help, there is no shame in saying so.”

Featured artist nothing,nowhere. continues, “As someone who has had to deal with mental illness throughout my life – it was a no brainer when Deryck approached me to get on this song. I think it’s important to let those close to you know that you love them and that you are there for them unconditionally. I’m a lifelong sum 41 fan and I’m honored to be a part of something like this.”

Fans can stream “Catching Fire” now and check out the music video here: smarturl.it/Sum41CFVideo

Armed with the most honest and intimate songs of his career, Whibley poured everything he had into Order In Decline. Producing, engineering, and mixing the album in his home studio, he painstakingly crafted and fine-tuned each song, highlighted by fast and full riffs, guitar solos from lead guitarist/backing vocalist Dave Brownsound, harmonious chords from guitarist Tom Thacker and the heavy, heart-thumping rhythm section of bassist/backing vocalist Cone McCaslin and drummer Frank Zummo. Looking back at the band’s storied 23+ year career, Order In Decline is undoubtedly Sum 41’s heaviest and most aggressive album to date, while also being their most dynamic and raw.

Order In Decline is available now at http://smarturl.it/OrderInDecline.

After over 15 million records sold worldwide, a Grammy Award nomination, 2 Juno Awards (7 nominations), Kerrang! Award in 2002, as well as multiple Alternative Press Music Awards, Sum 41 is quite simply a rock band uncompromising and honest with no intention of slowing down.
