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+.

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!
