Most of the world was obsessed with the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. The days leading up to their big day, there were speculations flying as to what type of gown Kate would be wearing, how she'd have her hair done, and so on. Well, I don't "know" Kate Middleton. She's not in my house on my television every Sunday night, and I do not "Keep up with the Middletons". I do however keep up with the Kardashians as I'm sure most of the country does, and because of that, I am UBERexcited about Kim's nuptials this weekend! The fact that it's been said that her wedding is going to trump the recent royal wedding fills me with that much more anticipation to hear about it and see pictures! Those are big shoes to fill, but Kim knows how to strut her stuff in them!!
Personally, I'm obsessed with wedding attire and I think it's fun to take guesses at what the bride will be wearing. Some people like to bet on basketball games, call me crazy, but I like to make bets with myself about what people are wearing! So, as you can only imagine, I've played detective and disected everything that's going on in the media and have come to my own conclusions. We'll see how close I come to getting this right.
Things we do now know are that the dress code for guests is very strict. Everyone has been asked to wear black and white. That being the case, I don't believe Kim will be blending in by any means. We also know that Vera Wang who made sister Khloe's gown, is also making Kim's gown. What I know about Vera Wang is that she has been playing with a lot of color in her wedding dresses. She has really been pushing the envelope. She's not just creating pinkish hues that we've already seen, but she's been using blues, silvers, reds, greens, and so forth. Some of her gowns even have mixtures of colors. Could it be a new trend in the making that the guests show up in black and white and now the bridal party is in color? Flip it and reverse it! Hmmm...keep that in mind as I ramble on.
One might think that as a socialite, Kim would wear pink. I think that color has probably been claimed by Paris Hilton, and in girl code, should not be touched by another socialite (What? You don't have a socialite guidebook too?). Some would suggest red as it would in fact be dramatic against the black and white. A thought then came to my mind. I often see Kim decked out in GREEN in pictures. It seems to be her color of choice to wear. In fact, she does have a t-shirt she wears that says "Green is the New Black". Maybe she is claiming that color. Maybe for more than one reason...
I then thought I'd research a little bit about Armenian wedding culture since Kim is Armenian and embraces her heritage which her late father taught her about. Through my research, I found out that there is a ceremony in Armenian weddings in which green and red ribbons are used. The red symbolizes health and the green symbolizes happiness! We KNOW Kim is happy settling down with Kris Humphries! However, I don't think this had anything to do with the color choice.
What may have inspired Kim though is something she has recently done! Being the new face of Midori liquor, I shouted "BINGO"! When I googled Kim and Midori...I found the following ad that shows Kim "standing out" in green with the folks in the background wearing white! Kim MUST be wearing green! Vera Wang even has some very pretty gowns that are part of her collection now in shades such as celadon! I have to be right!
Then I saw in the media that when Kourtney was asked by a fan on Twitter what color the bridesmaid dresses were, she replied "GREEN". Well, that was a blow to my ego. I thought I had it all figured out. So now, in my head, only a few things remain and I narrowed it down to my final guess.
1. If the bridesmaids are wearing green, would Kim wear red (to represent health and happiness)? No. Her pictures would look too much like a Christmas card.
2. Could Kourtney be fibbing? Why would she give up that detail so easily? Maybe they're wearing a different color while Kim is wearing green? Then again, why would it be necessary to keep the bridesmaid dress color underwraps especially knowing it only makes people like me (not sure how many of me there are) sit here and spend endless hours conjuring up all possible scenarios of a wedding I'm unfortunately not invited to. lol. Or, maybe the bridesmaids are wearing green and Kim is going to wear something like a nude color hue? That would look pretty!
3. ORRRR...Since the guests are all in black and white and we are going to be introducing COLOR...could we be going to Emarald City?!?! Could ALL of the girls be wearing green? I think it's possible! It'd most likely be a first in the wedding world! There have been brides who have worn white and dressed their bridesmaids in white as well, but have you ever seen a bride in a color matching her bridesmaids to her?!?!
Now, as for the silhouette of the dress...it has been reported that Tyra Banks gave Kim some advice the other day telling her to "go with a silhouette she doesn't normally wear". Kim must've been swaying with trying to make a decision. Kim flew to New York the other day and I saw where Vera Wang did some tweeting telling Kim something on the lines that she was glad they made those changes, but time was basically of the essence.
As for my thoughts...Kim is generally always in short dresses. I don't think she'll be doing short and if she was, I have a feeling there is now a skirt attached and maybe that is the change. She's done the one-shoulder several times, so I do not see that happening. Khloe's gown was a mermaid and Kim has done mermaid on the red carpet, so I'm thinking that might not be it either. Being known for her curves, Kim has shown them off plenty of times in tight fitting dresses and gowns, so doing something different, to me, would mean that Kim IS going to trump royalty when she makes her debut in somewhat of a ball gown! My guess is that Vera is busy in New York adding tons of tulle and ruffles.
Whether I unlocked the secret to this weekend's big day or not, it sure was fun just playing for a moment! Although it's a sin, I bet a lot of people will be seeing green on Saturday whether it's a color incorporated in to the wedding or not! Kim is a trendsetter and I'm so excited to see what the outcome is!
