ruffle love: wedding

Tuesday, August 30, 2011

I know I already got married but...

I think it's a little unfair that we have to pick one or two dresses to define us as a bride. What about us fashion whores? When you're a shopaholic there are probably a few dresses you have your eye on... not that I'm condoning that kind of spending, but you wait your whole life for your "big" day and damn, maybe we don't like being forced to choose just one! If Oscar De La Renta didn't exist it might be easier to choose just one, but that's not the world we live in...

Meet my first love...

It took me forever to track down this dress, I saw it on a photographer's website. Yes. It's Oscar De La Renta and it's gorgeous, per usual, but damn man I couldn't bring myself to spend over $10k on a dress...

Flower Girl Fashion Fiasco

People always talk about how stressful planning a wedding is, but I happen to enjoy "planning" so I haven't found it to be the burden everyone talks about. That is, until I started researching Flower Girl dresses. Who knew there would be such a shortage of adorable, stylish, fairly priced, NOT cheesy Flower Girl dresses out there!? I will gladly design some if someone wanted to provide funding! Sheesh, what a head ache though.

Our wedding colors are yellow and grey, and since our bridal party will be in grey, I thought my niece would look super cute in a sweet pale yellow, ruffly number. I assumed there would be tons to choose from, especially when Spring time rolled around... Yeah, well, no such luck. Finally, after WEEKS of searching EVERYWHERE, I moved onto whites and creams and came up with a handful of faves that I wanted to share, in hopes of saving you (or someone you know) all the time and effort I put into my search. Even if I end up helping just one person, it will all be worth it!

To start, I want to give Chasing Fireflies a shout out because they have the best selection BY FAR.
