So you have selected YOUR dress – THE dress – DREAM dress and you honestly can not wait to wear it on your big day. Why not just add one more dress to the mix? I love the idea of a reception dress. Having one amazing, couture gown for your ceremony and then changing into something fun and flirty for your reception. It just tells your guest you are ready to celebrate – ready to get down and might even just throw them for a loop on your fashion choices. Very recently we had a Nordstrom open here in Nashville and since then this store has been all the craze in town. They have an amazing selection of reception dresses in store and especially online that would all ultimately be a divine choice.
This is your time to have fun – show your personality and kick up your heels. Let’s party girls!
It all started with the royal wedding – beautiful Kate & Pippa both dressed in elegant white gowns. Then came the ill-fated Kim Kardashian wedding, where all the bridesmaids wore white. This got me thinking, is the white on white trend going mainstream or is this something that only royals & celebrities can pull off? I actually like the look if it’s pulled off correctly and doesn’t leave your bridesmaids looking like the bride, but tell us, what do you think of this new trend?
Love this cute engagement session of Dan & Denae in Seattle! I’m a sucker for beautiful light and this session is a perfect example. When planning your session with your photographer, make sure to ask them when the best time to shoot during the day will be. Most will say early morning or right before sunset. Trust me, it will make all the difference! Enjoy these beautiful images by Kaylee Eylander Photography.
I love looking for inspiration outside of the wedding industry and the Giambattista Valli Fall 2011 Couture Collection did not disappoint. Putting on a simple yellow belt can add a pop of color or wearing a bold necklace can make a big statement and totally change the feel of a dress. Coral is turning out to be a popular color for spring and I think it works well for a bridesmaid dress. A fun purse, gold leaf belt and brushed gold peep toe shoes make the outfit complete!
Looking for something sweet to add to your wedding or even replace the cake? Look no further than the Sugar Wagon, right here in Nashville, TN. Tracy & Jane have a super cute retro cart that they can fill with all kinds of high quality ice cream sandwiches and confections. I love that they use organic ingredients from local Tennessee producers and are also able to provide gluten-free & vegan options if needed. Visit Sugar Wagon for more info!
