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!

: Long Satin Dress with Chiffon Floral Bodice, $158

: Chiffon and Charmeuse Dress with Rounded Neckline, $149

: One-Shoulder Chiffon Dress with Floral Detail, $149

Jewelry Ideas for Your Bridal Party!

It’s that time of year to begin thinking about accessorizing the ladies in your bridal party and giving them gifts to thank them for being a part of your special day!

Check out the beautiful gold jewelry I came across on ShopNBC.

I love unique pieces like this gold hammered and diamond cut ricami reconstituted turquoise ring below to give as thank you gifts.

14K Gold Hammered & Diamond Cut Ricami Reconstituted Turquoise RIng, $118.62

Classics like these white cultured akoya pearl stud earrings or this lavender cultured freshwater pearl bracelet make great gifts as well and to wear on the wedding day too.

14K White or Yellow Gold AAA Quality 6.5-7.0mm White Cultured Akoya Pearl Stud Earrings, $148.63

6.5"-8" AAA Quality 7-8mm Lavender Cultured Freshwater Pearl Bracelet, $152.73

Looking for ideas to send your significant other? Well, sometimes it’s fun to splurge a little bit. If you want to be indulged, let him know. Give him ideas, like a spa day, a nice massage, or even some more jewelry. You’re the bride so you get to be spoiled as much as you like! My wish list includes this diamond multi-circle pendant and these akoya pearl and diamond drop earrings!

14K Gold Diamond Multi-Circle Pendant w/ Chain, $1,425

14K White Gold AAA Quality 7.5-8.0mm Cultured Akoya Pearl & Diamond Drop Earrings, $593.48

One of the best things about ShopNBC is that you can use the ValuePay option as a sort of payment plan to purchase your gifts! Remember that wherever you choose to shop, whether it be at a Bloomies or Tiffany’s or online at ShopNBC, you must keep your eyes open for large selections. You never know what you may find! Happy shopping!

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+.

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.

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.
