Wedding Wednesday

I first spied this deliciously sweet elopement, captured by Lang Photography, over at Ruffled. The brilliant take on a wedding dress had me at hello.

I also found the bride's look to be a perfect match for the new line of couture hairpieces from Jannie Baltzer.

Leave the bouquet behind and I'd happily rock the complete ensemble to a baby shower I'm hosting this weekend!

Think anyone would think it was over the top?!

Wedding Wednesday {Don't Mess with the Dress)

I've got a new wedding dress crush - too good not to share. The collection, Ivy & Aster has me craving yet another I-do fashion moment. Can a girl get...at least a half dozen in her lifetime? Is that too much to ask??

I'd be happy to be a bridesmaid or a bride!

Because there shouldn't be only one day in a girl's life that calls for a special dress. I call special dress day Tuesday.

Short Wedding Dresses

Short Wedding Dresses - The Way of the Future!


Short Wedding Dresses are becoming all the rage. While many traditional brides love the long gown, there are some that really like the idea of a chic short gown. They are much cooler for a summer wedding. They often cost less to purchase or make due to less material needed.

Many brides opt for both so that they can wear the gown for the wedding ceremony and for the pictures and first part of the reception. The bride would then go and change into the shorter wedding dress to wear for the rest of the evening.

One thing to be sure of, is that if you are going with the wedding gown and the wedding dress, they should be similar in design, so that all of your accessories will match, and it will look better in pictures. This is a great idea, if you can afford to purchase or make both.

Shorter wedding dresses are not only more comfortable and less bulky, but they can look just as lovely as a full gown. They are great for a beach wedding where a heavy long gown would not fit in. A beautiful shorter, lightweight flowing gown would be a better choice.

Many brides just like the look of the shorter dress for them. There is a large selection of the short wedding dresses, and they are beautiful in style and fit. There are many options available that look just as a gown would in the bodice.

As long as you want the shorter dress, stick to your guns as there may be people to try to talk you into buying a gown. If this is a second wedding, the shorter length is very appropriate. If this is an informal wedding, then this is the way to go. You know what you want, and what looks good on you, and if short is your style then go for it.

Short wedding dresses are very stylish and many brides are choosing this option, it is in trend right now, maybe that is why more brides are choosing the shorter styles, or maybe it is that you have seen a short gown in a magazine that caught your eye.

The traditional long gown with the train is still the favored option for weddings. Many brides are not traditional and like to step out of the box in a fantastic short dress. Maybe this is what the groom likes as well. The point is that whatever type of dress you choose, this is your special day, and what you want goes.

The bridesmaids will like the shorter styles as often these can be used at other formal events, so they get more use out of them. This is true with your wedding dress as well depending on the style you might be able to wear your dress to another formal event. If you are a shoe girl the short dress will let you show off that awesome pair of wedding shoes that you chose to wear. Just listen to your heart, get what you want, and have a happy day.

Wedding Wednesday {Dress Redux}

I've discovered another bonus of a destination wedding is the opportunity to throw a hometown wedding reception, which we are doing this Saturday night. Extending the celebration is certainly fun, as is getting to wear my wedding dress a second time! 

My original plan was to shorten the dress for the reception. I've long been a big fan of the short wedding dress. Just look at this Monique Lhuiller - how fun would it be to wear that?!


But when it came time to take the scissors to the tulle, I just couldn't pull the trigger. I'm actually looking forward to experiencing that feeling of excitement and anticipation of putting on the dress again. 

If I could have my absolute fantasy scenario, I'd get to wear an entirely different dress for the reception - and in that fantasy land I'd go even BIGGER! I'm tellin' ya, the tulle goes straight the brain! But wouldn't you want to spend a night in one of these stunners?



Instead, I'm going to relish every single moment of being back in my wedding dress, partying with my friends, family and my HUSBAND all night long!
