David’s Bridal Partners with Vera Wang on Line of Affordable Wedding Dresses

Last week Vera Wang revealed a line of affordable wedding dresses available for purchase at David’s Bridal.   Available in sizes 0-14 and priced from $600-$1,400, the gowns are beautiful and not out of reach for many brides!  A range of lovely veils and accessories are also part of the new line.  Wang says, “Every bride deserves to have great design. I believe the bride knows who she is and how she wants to look and feel on her special day. Every gown I create reflects that respect for other women and how much design means to me.”

The White Collection of these wedding dresses hits stores on Feb. 11.  And that’s not all; come June, Vera Wang will add a line of bridesmaids dresses available at David’s Bridal ranging in price from $150-$200.

Check out a sneak peak of the wedding dresses below.

Oh ‘Crew, You’ve Done It Again

Thank you J. Crew for continuing to design some amazingly chic and affordable bridal gowns.   Happy Fall indeed thanks to J. Crew’s Fall Wedding and Parties Look Book.

I adore this one… it combines so many of my dress loves: organza, lace, subtle polka dots, ruffles, buttons, and curls!  There is a lot happening, but it somehow works beautifully.

And this is the essence of romance with tulle and organza.

Who needs accessories with this striking neckline?

More polka-dots!

For a dress switcheroo perhaps?

Designer Spotlight: Judd Waddell

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!

Designer Spotlight: Pronovias

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…
