Vera Wang does it again by pushing the boundaries in bridal! Her spring 2013 line consists of cardinal, crimson, and scarlet hues that have frothy, full skirts with floral details and horsehair trims. This style is traditional to wedding attire in Eastern cultures, but how does everyone else feel about this bold choice in color and style? We love it!

While in Westport last week for a few meetings with our October bride, we stumbled upon The Plumed Serpent bridal boutique and were in awe of the beautiful wedding dresses that they carry. So much so, that we convinced our bride to try on the MOST BEAUTIFUL Monique Lhullier dress we had ever seen and of course she looked flawless in it! Carrying brands from Monique Lhullier to Oscar de la Renta and Carolina Herrera, the Plumed Serpent saves their brides a trip to NYC for designer selections while offering a personalized experience that every bride will appreciate.

This past weekend, I was in Houston for a wedding and of course made time for a quick visit to BHDLN (pronounced beholden). The store was even more beautiful than I had imagined and was filled to the brim with gorgeous wedding dresses and insanely stunning jewelry and shoes. In addition to the clothing, there was a beautifully stylized room (as Anthropologie does best) that contained tons of stationery, bridesmaids gifts, candles, cake stands and more. I felt like a kid in a candy store! If you can’t make it to Houston, check out the equally beautiful website, BHDLN. Happy shopping.
We are drooling over some of the designer dresses that graced the runway this year at New York City’s Bridal Fashion Week. Check out this gorgeousness from Monique Lhuillier and Vera Wang (black dresses-SJP style) for yourself!
We wouldn’t be good wedding planners if we didn’t blog about the Royal Wedding today, right? To recap from the beginning…
OH, the hats! Weren’t they phenomenal? We wouldn’t have expected anything less, as this is the wedding of the century. From quaint to crazy (umm, Princess Beatrice?), there was eye candy abound.
Prince William and Prince Harry looked incredibly regal, and we loved the little laughs the two of them shared preceding the ceremony.
The dress: we adored it, but definitely expected her to go a little more modern, as she is a “modern princess.” However, while it was beautiful and classic (with a nod to Grace Kelly), the panels on the gown and the fact that it was made by Sarah Burton from the House of McQueen gave it it’s contemporary edge.
We thought Princess Catherine did a great job bringing her “English Garden” theme to a historic and grand space such as Westminster Abbey. We loved that she was able to bring in oak trees to line the aisle, especially since oak trees are now part of her family’s Coat of Arms, as they were prominent in the area she grew up.
All in all, she was absolutely stunning, and the couple looked incredibly happy and in love – even a bit nervous…to be expected with MILLIONS of people watching! And didn’t you love her reaction to the throngs of people as they walked out onto the balcony at Buckingham Palace? “Oh my!” This was truly a fairy tale for the ages. Congrats to the new bride and groom, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge!
Seems everyone is jumping on the Bridal wagon! Now, Dogeared, one of our fave online jewelers, is offering customizable and special gems for the bride and her gals. Love it!
Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could purchase your wedding gown from one of your favorite ready-to-wear designers and/or online stores? Well, now you can! Shopbop, BCBG, and Net-a-Porter have all added chic wedding gowns to their repertoire. Isn’t this dress to die for?
