Oh, Happy Day: Anthro’s Short Gowns

I am loving these two short gowns from Anthropologie’s BHLDN line of gowns.

And if my Bridget’s Vintage Sunshine First Birthday party had a wedding gown inspiration or two, these might be it.

Designer Spotlight: Temperley London

Ah London, Bridget Jones, Mr. Darcy, Colin Firth…. and Alice Temperley (Temperley London), a Better Together Events kind of bridal atelier. Her dresses are gorgeously draped, supremely romantic, and with a 40s/50s edge. Love. I must report, you’ll pay a pretty penny for these truly unforgettable gowns ($3,000-$12,000).

Designer Spotlight: Ivy & Aster

Ivy & Aster makes just gorgeous wedding frocks at affordable prices (<$300 for bridesmaids and around $2,o00 for bridal gowns). I just love the ethereal and romantic quality of their dresses, and their short bridal pieces just scream sass! There are no stores that carry them in the Rochester area, but you can shop online this summer! Enjoy!

Priscilla of Boston: In Awe of Wedding Dresses

Long before I ever started planning weddings, before I was engaged and looking for wedding dresses myself, I can remember being introduced to the wonderful world of Priscilla of Boston passing by their flagship store on Boston’s Boylston Street. When it came time to shop for my own wedding gown, I couldn’t wait to enter those doors with my own special purpose.

I’ve blogged about Priscilla of Boston’s wedding dresses before, but today I want to focus on a few new favorites which showcase some of the latest trends in bridal couture: ruffles, sleeves, and one-shouldered looks! Even though these looks are in tune with the latest trends, you’ll still see the timeless elegance that made Priscilla of Boston wedding dresses famous. Prices range from $1,200 to $5,000+.
