The Perfect Spring Wedding Dress

Finding the perfect spring wedding dress is no easy feat, and it is a good idea for the spring bride to start the search long before the weather begins to warm up.

Starting early means that you will have the best selection and the best prices, but waiting until the last minute can leave you frustrated and disappointed.

As with other aspects of planning the perfect wedding, choosing the perfect spring wedding dress will take some time.

The key To Finding A Spring Wedding To Fit Your Style

There are of course many different places to find that perfect wedding dress, from traditional sources like dressmakers, bridal shops and department stores to less traditional outlets like vintage clothing stores and antique shops.

The key is to find a wedding dress that is a reflection of your own unique taste and style.

Shop Around Widely

For some brides that may mean a traditional spring wedding dress, complete with flowing train and beautifully accented headpiece. For others the perfect wedding dress will be quite a bit more casual, with a short, sexy and sporty style.

No matter which style is right for you, it is a good idea to shop around widely in order to find the perfect dress.

Using Resources To fit Your Dress

If you are at a loss as to which wedding dress is right for you, it may be possible to draw some inspiration from the many wedding planning guides and bridal magazines at the local newsstand or bookstore.

The styles for spring wedding dresses are always changing, and keeping up with the latest wedding fashions can be a difficult process. Paging through a recent bridal magazine can give you some great ideas on what to look for when you go shopping.

The Advantage Of Shopping Early

Of course most of us will be looking for a good deal on that spring wedding dress as well, and that is another advantage of shopping early.

Many major markets will have one or more outlet stores where top quality wedding gowns can be purchased for a fraction of their original prices.

By scoping out the sales smart brides may be able to find the perfect spring wedding dress for their special day and save enough money to pay for the perfect honeymoon as well.

Barneys Co-Op to Open Brooklyn

After months of rumors WWD announced yesterday that Barneys will in fact be coming to Brooklyn. They are planning to open a Barneys Co-op store in Cobble Hill. The store will occupy the space at 194 Atlantic at the corner of Court. No word yet on when the store will actually open.

Wedding Wednesday {It's Party Time}

My dears, as we reach the last day of March, I feel the need to pause and take a moment to reflect. So much has been going on and so much is about to happen. For starters, we leave for our wedding in just 3 weeks! So much work has been done and we're in the home stretch now. That alone is enough to break out the party gear.

And then the darling Caitlin of Sacramento Street (who happens to be getting married very shortly herself!) pointed out that I overlooked another important milestone - the 2 year anniversary of Apartment 34! In fact, today is my 800th post. I can hardly believe it.

When I started this little experiment more than two years ago I never could have imagined this is where I'd be today. I never thought it would take me on this journey or connect me to such wonderful people. It makes me want to put on my party shoes and kick up my Louboutin-clad heels.

As I'm about to take the most major step of my life, I can't predict where the years ahead might lead. I do know that I cherish the pleasure and privilege of sharing all these random thoughts and ramblings with everyone here. This little blogging experiment has grown to mean so much to me. It has brought me great strength, joy, courage, creativity and warmth. The fact that you seem to enjoy it at all is a small miracle in and of itself.

So thank you, dear readers, for two great years - and here's to what's next, whatever that may be!

Cheers,

Sole-full Decor {Spring Edition}

I'm loving the mix and match of the spring trends. They provide the perfect amount of versatility and my favorite, tons of sky-high heels. Translate it all into decor and no matter which direction you go, you really can't take a wrong turn.

You might prefer sweet whites,

Or perhaps spring pinks,

then there are the supple neutrals,

And the exuberant brights.

Really, there's a look to suit any mood. Now if only changing decor was as easy as shoes! That's why I invest in big closets.

Earrings by Plume of The Banquet Brooklyn

I am loving the lavishness and decadence of these earrings by Plume. The gold and diamond cascades remind me of another era one with more style and grace. While the studs can be worn daily adding just the right touch of glamour for any outfit. Available at The Banquet (formerly Council) in Brooklyn.

Monday Work Wear {Spring Boots}

The arrival of spring in Seattle has also brought on an onslaught of spring showers. All the better to keep my favorite boots in rotation. I'm particularly in love with versatile booties that can help you ride out the unpredictable weather.
