patterned bridesmaid dresses = giant yes

February 28, 2012

If you’re a friend or a client of mine, you probably know that I’m kind of super into patterned bridesmaid dresses right now. Some of my current favorite patterned dresses are from North Carolina based designer Whitney Deal, and I’m particularly into her Willow Dress: Also – this pattern (and will someone please wear that [...]

Schone dresses

November 26, 2011

I am digging this dress by Schone. A little expensive for bridesmaids, but I think it could make an awesome less traditional wedding dress for a casual outdoor wedding (it’s also available in many other colors.) Or, alternatively, it might be the perfect piece to buy just so that you can live in it all [...]

seafoam

November 23, 2011

I’d really like someone (apparently a size 4 someone, as it’s a sample) to wear this dress to their wedding: Cassandra gown from Leanimal, $1285 I’m definitely having a non-white wedding dress moment these days, and sea foam green seems like a sort of particularly lovely option, no? Also “The skirt is draped so perfectly [...]

October 4, 2011

I’m a longtime fan of Thread, who’re mainly known as a bridesmaid dress company.

L to R: Breck, $420; Marilyn, $480; [...]

Ann Taylor Weddings

September 28, 2011

I love wedding dresses from unexpected places. Like this Silk Strips Gown from Ann Taylor, which is gorgeous in both colors: Also? It’s less than $400. Awesome. In fact, their entire wedding collection is under $1000, with most of it being well under. Rad. images: Ann Taylor

oh, BHLDN

August 5, 2011

So, I have preface this by saying that overall I am not enamored with BHLDN, Anthropologie’s much touted new-ish wedding line. Mainly because I find it way overpriced, and secondly because I feel like it’s quickly become (or started out as?) another arm of the indie-WIC conspiracy to make you feel like your wedding needs [...]

maxi dress

July 13, 2011

I’m a big fan of maxi dresses, and all of my current favorites are now several years old and wearing out. I’m liking the backs of both of these dresses from J. Crew: left: Doria Dress right: Summerstock maxidress In general, I find J. Crew clothes to be overpriced for their overall quality, and these [...]

LulaKate

July 6, 2011

If you’re going traditional with your bridesmaids, I’m kinda digging the simple bridesmaid dresses from LulaKate. In the right colors, some of them seem like actually might be wearable again*… on left: the Ashley, on right: the Pam *most dresses that are official “bridesmaid dresses” are decidedly, really, when it actually comes down to it, [...]

Canoe

April 13, 2011

Have you seen Miss Natalie‘s new line Canoe yet? Featuring vintage American work wear along with hand tooled leather goods, it’s really great stuff. At the moment I’m particularly eyeing this keychain – I think my keys could use a makeover for summer. (what? you don’t accessorize your keys seasonally?) I miss running into Natalie [...]
