Love this.

I speak from experience when I say I am way over forcing bridesmaids to wear the same dress, hairstyle, jewelry and makeup look. This bride was smart to give her girls a subdued palette to achieve the vibe she was after, but gave them freedom to find cute dresses that complement their personal styles, body shapes and budgets. Plus, I guarantee you these girls will wear those dresses again.

Amsale = Amazing!

This dreamy wedding dress from Amsale took my breath away! The sweetheart neckline, tiers of extravagant ruffles and whimsical sash bow belt is romantic, ultra-girly and pretty much fabulous, no?

Because I Love Bridal...

It's quite clear that I'm a bit bridal-obsessed (nope, no ring on my finger yet--far from it, actually!), and I've been called on by countless friends and loved ones to help with their Big Day. From event design to program assembly to favor inspiration and accessory sourcing, there's not one detail that I haven't uncovered in the name of nuptial bliss--for someone else. My favorite aspect, though? Wedding dress shopping, of course! It never gets old, and to me, it's always insanely exciting.

For this reason, I've always got my eyes peeled for pretty, fresh, flirty designs and these wedding dresses by Priscilla of Boston are no exception! There's truly something for every bride: short and sweet, over-the-top ballgowns, sexy mermaid styles and even, a frothy few from a fabulous Vera Wang collaboration.






Take a look at the site and see for yourself...and don't forget to check out the bridesmaid dresses (I'm on the hunt for one now for a September wedding that I'm in), fetching little flower girl dresses and amazingly ornate headpieces.

My personal favorite bridal gown? A sassy sweetheart neckline design of Swiss dot fabrication and a whimsical sash bow to top it off.


I'm dizzy with delight!

Swoon! Vera Wang Wedding Dresses!

Wedding season (my favorite!) is just around the corner, and there's some excitement brewing over at David's Bridal beyond their typical enormous selection of wedding dresses and bridesmaid options for all. If you're one of the countless brides who struggles with appeasing her designer taste with a realistic budget, rejoice in the newest collaboration: White by Vera Wang for David's Bridal.

Wang has smartly created a breath-taking selection of frothy dresses for every woman--from organza ballgowns to structured mermaid styles, the gowns are every bit designer-gorgeous as her originals--without the hefty price tag! This collection of Vera Wang wedding dresses impressively ranges from $600-1,400. Amazing, right?




And as if there weren't dreamy enough, White by Vera Wang also has a sizable stash of seriously to-die-for accessories including crystallized headbands, brilliant sash belts and stunning hair combs.

Love is in the air, ladies!

Behold...the latest in Bridal

It's here! The much-discussed bridal line BHLDN from Urban Outfitters finally debuted today and offers much for the indie bride-to-be to pick from! The gowns are vintage-inspired, whimsical, and certainly lovely for the bride who wants anything but a traditional white princess ballgown. Most of these aren't my personal style, but I appreciate how beautifully they're styled, and the price points (all are under $4,000) aren't too shabby either.







Check out the site--plenty of frilly dresses, lingerie, accessories and more!
J. Crew, eat your heart out!

Bridesmaid Beauties

This morning I had the divine honor of modeling a one-shoulder Joanna August silk bridesmaid dress on KTLA for a TV segment for my friend, Ali's Plan my Wedding blog.
It was a lot of fun and the dresses were gorgeous! Joanna was an awesome designer, and totally made all of us feel comfortable and beautiful in her gowns. If you're ever in the market for a special occasion dress that oozes sophistication and elegance, I'd highly recommend her.

Here's the video:
