Wedding Style

When I'm working on a new collection, I'm ultimately thinking about designing dresses with a definite comfort and distinct style. But with that being said, I find it so important that a bride be able to make the dress her own with accessories and flair. So let's play a little bit...here are a few ways I'd style a few of the 2012 collection...

 

MARCILLE
This dress has layers of delicate chiffon and a soft scooping back so it definitely leans more romantic without being overly dramatic. I paired it with a subtle jimmy choo ballet flat, crochet drop earrings by bhldn, and a delicate twigs & honey veil

 

ELSIE 
Isn't she darling? I love the perfect touch of simple modesty in this dress paired with a delicate peter pan collar. I thought it would be great to go with neutrals for this dress, nude t-strap heels from ruche, a light-weight rose gold diamond ring from catbird, and just a little bit of pop with a deep red butter london nail polish.

 

BELLE
There is a sophistication about this dress that makes it feel very intimate and could really be taken in many directions. I chose to play on the existing glamourous details of its charmeuse trim and add some colorful accessories. First, adding an untamed petals rhinestone comb, followed by a silk pom-pom brooch in ice by bando, and these strapy coral heels from kate spade.

 

LOLA
Tea-length goodness! Another great dress you could dress-up or down, take it formal or casual...so I went all natural with this number. A gorgeous infinity gold ring by melissa joy manning, a soft pink butter london nail polish, and a rustic wildflower halo from kinfolk magazine.

Perfect Heels

I stumbled across a pair of cream oxfords earlier this year in a magazine and completely lost the issue, but the shoes stuck in my mind. To my surprise, one of my stylish brides wore them for her wedding, and they were even better in person. 

Her whole get-up was pretty awesome, see more over on Oh, Darling! or their feature on Ruffled.

Oh! And the shoes are Charles David.

Bridesmaids + Gardens

When I was getting married, I knew I wanted to use dresses with pattern fabric for my bridesmaids. Unfortunately, there wasn't really anything out there at the time -- So, we made our own!

That idea was my inspiration behind the bridesmaid/garden dresses in my collection. Mix and match dress styles, mix and match patterns, and everyone gets pockets! I'm offering 5 fabric options right now, but will be adding to that soon!

Two Big Thanks

One thanks is for Myra of Twigs & Honey. First of all, she's awesome, and secondly, she makes beautiful hair accessories. Sometimes a simple, sweet wedding dress just needs that perfect touch to make it feel complete, and that's where Twigs & Honey comes in. Her work is goregous and well made, so what more could you ask for.

Secondly, I met the Seychelles gals earlier this year at a Smilebooth event. They were so great that they made me want to come work for them! And their shoes were pretty rad too. I just knew they would look perfect with my dresses!
