Get Married In Golden Globes Style

Monday, January 17th, 2011 by admin

I never watch awards shows, I just really like to see what everyone is wearing and I feel set. Although, last night, my extremely anemic Tivo led me to do otherwise. It was easy to see the parallels between the red carpet and bridal wear currently out there. Easy if you spend a lot of time looking at wedding dresses, which I do. Here are some of my favorite looks.

Catherine Zeta-Jones (in Monique Lhuilier) looked so stunning and beautiful. She got the entire look right from head to toe, but I knew her dress looked familiar… Same thing happened when I saw Olivia Wilde (in Marchesa). Both wedding dresses are Monique Lhuillier.

I love Kyra Sedgwick’s orange chiffon Pucci dress. Bright bold colors are huge for Spring and she effortlessly rocked it out. Notice the turquoise earrings? Jenny Packham answers the call with this dress.

Theses lovely ladies were red carpet fabulous and wedding style ready. Not loving Sandra Bullocks hair, but the rest is perfection.

A while back I highlighted a trend I was seeing in bridal dresses, sleeves, and not so surprisingly, some sleeved dresses showed up on the red carpet.

I have a friend who recently got married in an Ulla Majia dress, of course she looked stunning, but aside from her, I really have not had a lot of first hand experience with the designer. I did, however, almost fall out of my chair when I saw this lace dress with the golden underlay. Simply stunning.

{Featured Designer} Sassi Holfold

Time to get your Sass on. Admittedly, Sassi Holfold is a line I am not all that familiar with. It caught my attention because about half of the collection has some sort of sleeve option, which can be hard time find, so I thought it would be worth sharing!

{Friday Faves} The Etsy Taste Test

Friday, December 24th, 2010 by admin

I don’t know about you, but I find Etsy can be wholly overwhelming. Love the site, but sometimes I just want to look at things that appeal to me without having to scroll through page after page. Well, maybe the lovely people at Etsy were feeling the same way because they recently launched their “taste test.” It’s a quick quiz like process (it’s all pictures) that creates pages of products based on the things you like. The first question looks like this, but if you don’t see anything that appeals to you, you can refresh the options and try again. It’s a lovely thing, and a great way to start dropping those Valentine Day hints. Yea I said it, Christmas is almost so done for the year. Enjoy the holiday!

Douglas Hannant consistently designs pretty clothes and wedding gowns, but you just don’t hear or see much about him. I really like his Fall 2011 fashion forward “Ice Princess” (my choice of words, not theirs) collection. Thoughts on the wedding suit?

Wedding Inspiration Board of the Week – Coral Yellow & Taupe

Thursday, December 16th, 2010 by admin

It has been so freakishly cold, and I live in the South ya’ll. I didn’t think I signed up for this when I moved back from NYC. Anywho, I fell in love with this color palette because it’s warm and happy, yet subtle. Most beachy color schemes tend to use brights, which are great too, but this gives another option for someone who likes color, but doesn’t want it to scream.

Wedding Ballerinas

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010 by admin

I saw a post on Wiley Valentine today with these gorgeous ballerina inspired images (you can see the full post here). I just happen to have a tentative date with a girlfriend of mine (and our husbands if they are up for tapping into their feminine sides) this weekend to see Black Swan which reminded me of all the tulle I saw on the runways this fall…

Real bridal style. You can go as literal as you want, although the straight up tutu dress is a little too literal for me

You may know the name David Meister from seeing his flattering body-con dresses at stores like Saks and Neiman Marcus, but, have you checked out his bridal collection yet??

Oh Baby It’s Cold Outside

Wednesday, December 8th, 2010 by admin

I have to tip my wool hat to winter brides. I mean winter weddings can be gorgeous, but it’s so cold! I am total wuss for cooler temps (currently still wearing my down jacket in my house), and so, I can appreciate the importance of a good cover up.

{Featured Designer} – Bruce Oldfield

Tuesday, December 7th, 2010 by admin

If the name Bruce Oldfield is starting to sound familiar to you, there is a good reason for it. First off, he is a London based bridal designer who people are speculating just might design Kate Middleton’s dress. Turns out he is no stranger to designs fit for royalty. Princess Diana was a big fan of his, and Queen Rania of Jordan walked the aisle in one of his dresses too. For him it’s probably just another day and another dress for your everyday princess. We will have to wait until April to find out for sure, but as you can see, his dresses are breath taking.
