With the latest trends hot off the catwalk from London fashion week, the Rainbow collections are absolutely on the button this season!

'Say high to heels!'

The latest collections showcase the highest ever heels from Rainbow, all made super wearable with the clever use of both classic and concealed platforms.
So those brides who are keen to add as much height as possible will be delighted with the latest killer heels.
Platforms are available in all four brands, with heel heights up to 10cm.

'Embrace lace'

Lovely lace and all things vintage continue to fill the pages of all of our favourite fashion bibles from Grazia to Vogue.
Gracing the hems of skirts and the collars of blouses, lace and embroidery is the perfect accent detail for all accessories.

'Grown up Glamour'

Luxe and glamour abounds! Think tailored looks combined with minimal detail and elegantly understated sexiness.
This is a grown up look for sophisticates who can carry it off with effortless chic. Glamerous accessories can transform your look from day to evening in an instant, think killer heels and dressy clutches.
Shoes are sky high and cut to flatter the foot.

'Embellished'

The ultimate in sparkle! embellishment is hot news on the catwalks of London and Milan and the bridal world is no different.
Whether bejewelled with fabulous Swarovski crystals set into chunky silver settings or beaded with pretty hand sewn crystals, embellishment is a key look.
There are stunning pieces ranging from gorgeous fashion forward styles to vintage chic in both shoes and handbags.

We love Wildeve by Hassall - see them and you'll want them!

'Hearts and Bows'

Big impact bows and witty hearts continue to be big news, adopted by designers around the globe to add a touch of fun and humour to the latest collections.
Delicate diamante bows, chic fifties bows and softly padded satin hearts add a little English eccentricity to many pieces.
Round toes and cute peep toes work well with this look.

Top tip - Bubblegum from the Else collection, fun, flirty and great for bridesmaids too.

Feathers!

Feathers are a top fashion story this season, with everything from feathered hems to marabou minis being sported by ‘A Listers’ galore.
Feathered fascinators, chokers and clutch bags have all been spotted on the red carpet, and make great statement accessories.
Our favourite feathered beauty.

'Brown is the new black - it's official!'

Almost every shade of brown, from deep chocolate to rich rusts and gleaming copper has appeared on this Season's catwalks.
So dare to be different with your bridesmaids or treat yourself to a divine pair of evening shoes in one of these chic new shades, and commission our colour studio to hand colour you a pair of shoes to be seen in.
Embellishments add extra interest with styles like 'Serlio' looking magical when hand coloured in these daring hues!

Chain reaction

When it comes to handbags it's still all about the clutch! However, this season's hottest clutches feature 60's style chain straps.
Rainbow Club and Rainbow Couture offer a selection of gorgeous clutches, which can be worn with or without their chain straps.

Our favourite - Jude by Rainbow Club

Beautiful beading!

With embellishment being a key theme for 2010, it's no surprise that hand-beading is hot news. Sequins are still very strong and chunky pearls are also big news.
Beading is now more three dimensional with beautiful beaded corsages and accessories available from designer to high street.

Look out for the stunning Nicole from Rainbow Club, an elegant peep toe with fabulous hand beaded florette!
