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

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!

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

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!
