Vera Unveiled

I spotted Vera Wang‘s Emmeline gown on a real Style Me Pretty bride, and I was oh so smitten with the unique neckline and oodles of  organza.  Gorg…

I’m obsessing over Elizabeth Fillmore’s 2012 Bridal Collection.  It’s filled with lace, organza, and all sorts of feminine details.

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. :)

Little Black Dress – Love

I’ve been catching up on the latest season of Project Runway, and I’m just obsessed with this look by designer Joshua McKinley.  This is just a perfect go-to black dress – of course I am loving the lace details and the full skirt. And how hip and cool are the model’s blue platforms?!?  I’d love to see this dress marketed in different colors as well – I see uber chic bridesmaids in the future!

Reverie by Melissa Sweet for Priscilla of Boston 2012

My faithful readers out there know of my undying love for Priscilla of Boston because it is a wedding design house that just continually produces amazing dresses ranging from the traditional to the sassy, all with impeccable craftsmanship.

The Reverie line is perfect for the second dress, a destination wedding, a trip to the islands?  Love, love, love.

A Look at Vera Wang’s David’s Bridal Bridesmaid Dresses

Just a few months after Vera Wang debuted her wedding dress collection for David’s Bridal, she is at it again with bridesmaid dresses.  A set of seven dresses will be offered in beautiful and current colors like amethyst, orchid and champagne come June, ranging in price from $158 to $200.   According to Women’s Wear Daily, one of the most exciting aspects of this line of bridesmaid dresses is the range of style: there are traditional a-line cocktail dresses along with more avant-garde looks with bubble skirts and one-shouldered bodices, like the one below.   Here’s a sneak peak!

Vera did tell Women’s Wear Daily that there would be some long looks included in the collection.  David’s Bridal already has some very contemporary and sophisticated long bridesmaids dresses available now.  Check them out below!

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!

Costco Couture

Now you can shop for your wedding gown while grocery shopping with Costco’s new line of wedding dresses by designer Kirstie Kelly.  Prices range from $699 to $1,399 (comparable to Vera Wang’s David’s Bridal line).  Sizes range from 2 to 24.

I love the back on this one:
