Judd Waddel bridal gowns always catch my eye in the bridal magazines. He’s known for architectural styles that showcase the bride, not the gown. Not surprisingly, he got his start in the bridal business at the legendary Carolina Herrera. Think pure romance, clean lines, and classic silhouettes! Enjoy some of my favorites below!
I’ve been meaning to blog about this forever, but earlier this summer White House Black Market introduced their bridal line!
The store that has been providing us with party frocks for years is now going down the aisle! All of the gowns are under $700!
Better Together Events had a fabulously relaxing 4th of July weekend! The hubby was actually granted a couple glorious days off, and we got to spend some time with great family and friends.
Now that it’s back to the grind, I’m getting inspired to get back to my weddings and work with these fabulous retro-inspired wedding gowns by Peppermint Pretty on Etsy. What do you think?
I posted about Carol Hannah – of Project Runway fame – and her fabulous wedding collection before here.
And now it’s expanded with even lovelier designs! And they are super affordable and can be purchased off our favorite Everything Emporium… duh – Etsy! Seriously, these gowns make me want to get married all over again!! Love!

I’m been a big fan of Pronovias for a long-time. With a combination of Spanish-flair and dramatic design, what’s not to love?!? Pronovias bridal collections include flirty ruffles, accordion pleats, tiered skirts, clouds of tulle, and beautiful, unique necklines. In the past few collections, Pronovias has showcased crumb catcher necklines, daring one-shoulder numbers, modest boat necks, and an attention to details whether they be an origami fleurette or a tiny bow. There’s really something for every unique bride! Check out some of my favorites below…
I stumbled across some fabulous vintage-inspired bridal gowns on unique-vintage.com this afternoon. To view the full collection, click here. Love!
Better Together Events is back from Ireland! While I can’t exactly say I’m feeling refreshed after a whirlwind trip and driving miles and miles, it really was an unbelievable experience with beautiful sites!
As I prepare to face wedding season head on, I leave you with some take-your-breath away bridal gowns by Portland’s Elizabeth Dye.
I sort of woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Etsy to the rescue! I stumbled across some incredibly romantic and feminine bridesmaids and bridal dresses. I clicked on the dress details before I realized who the designer was… it was none other than Carol Hannah, who was robbed of the Project Runway crown last season! Figures that I was already a huge fan of the designer!
Anyway, if you have a case of the Tuesday morning grumps, prepare to be cheered by fabulous frocks!
J.Crew’s Spring Preview is here! And oh does it make me feel cool and Summery on this blustery Rochester evening. My absolute favorite is the dress below. Modest, fluid, and completely angelic. It’s just a beautiful dress! Now bring on the new flower girl dresses already!
Happy Friday courtesy of some majorly sigh-worthy designer dresses!
Melissa Sweet started designing wedding gowns in 1996 and she instantly won raves for the balance and proportion of her gowns. It wasn’t long until her flattering silhouettes and flawless construction led to her being scooped up by Priscilla of Boston, where her complete collections are sold and showcased. Her designs really combine the classic bride exemplified by Priscilla’s with the whimsy and fun typically found in Melissa Sweet’s dresses. She is definitely a favorite of mine!
To get your fashion heart aflutter and to enjoy Lady Gaga, check out this runway video from her 2010 Spring collection:
The feather headpieces are a fabulous touch.
