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.

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!

Will You Be My Wedding Dress?

The hunt for the city hall wedding dress continues. I think I may have found some contenders in one of my favorite lines, Thread Social.

What do you think, marriage material?

The shoes are certainly right up my alley! 

Don't Mess with the Dress

Because we're getting married in Mexico, it turns out we also have to get married at City Hall to actually make the thing legal (if only it looked like this!) Some would say I have the pleasure, others the curse, of needing more than one wedding dress and I'm just now beginning to weigh my options. 

There's the fantasy of going super bridal and essentially getting two wedding dresses.

Then there's the nontraditional, yet still relatively bride-y look.

Or perhaps a simple white cocktail dress will do...

Decisions, decisions. This is actually hard, I swear!

Wedding Wednesday {Going Retro}

Don't get me wrong, I am still in love with my wedding dress, but this one has me wishing, just a little, that I'd considered going short...

Because every girl should get to twirl on her wedding day, don't you think?
