Inspiration: THE DRESS!

Jump to Comments
Ok, I’m not going to lie…ever since we got engaged the most exciting thing to dream about involving the wedding preparation is THE DRESS! I mean, c’mon! How can a fashion-minded, fabric obsessed, textile crazy lover not be enamored with the idea of draping oneself in all that white crunchy silk, buttery tule, and frilly lace! 

I have lots of ideas about my wedding. I think most women would think my desires for the wedding are a little too unconventional and untraditional for their tastes.  But hey, thats why its OUR day. Nobody elses. A day where we make a promise to love and cherish each other for the rest of our lives. Not a day to impress others with indulgence and extravagance.

I love all things natural. Pure. Clean. Honest.

This is what our day will exude. Honesty and truth in who we are.

With all this being said…I will key you in on the wedding details later. For now its about the DRESS!

Afred Angelo

This is a simple and classic stlye by Alfred Angelo that I thought would be nice if I feel like going a more traditional route. I would then apply my own detail to the dress to give it a little more of my personality.

This Dress by BCBG found at Nordstrom’s is a gorgeous untraditional dress. I am really loving the idea of having a knee length dress that feels a little more casual. I’m also falling for the flower applique on this dress.

 This dress I found on a cheesy website called Dolly Couture. But I like that it has a 50’s inspired feel to it. Doesn’t the top of this dress look edible? Just like the frosting on the cake! Yummy. And that tule skirt?? I would feel like a ballerina! Perfect.

Zac Posen Dress

Here is another little gem that I found. Designed by Zac Posen and can be purchased through Saks Fifth Avenue. Understated, yet still beautiful. The straight pencil skirt look to the dress gives it a more elegant and formal feel while the cotton material and ruffled decal give it a more comforting county feel. That nice little open stripe detail makes the dress really stnd on its own, don’t you think? I can really picture myself in this dress, especially since it has those nice straps to keep it up during dancing! You know I love comfort.bcbg

Uuugghhhh! Thats the sound I make in my head everytime I look at this dress. Its like its sooo pretty that its Disgusting! I’m drooling over that box-pleated collar line. It doesnt even need any more detail at all. The box pleating stole the spotlight. So simple and clean. This is the Molly dress is from the collection by Priscilla of Boston.

 The two of these dresses by Priscilla of Boston, the Talyor and the Drew, are very similar. The Taylor is shown in a satin that really makes it look more like a wedding dress and the below knee length skirt seems a bit more sophisticated. The Drew dress is a little more casual in apprearance because it is a cotton blend. The peeping tule under the skirt gives a more playful feel. I just want to have a country ho-down in this dress! They are both so pretty. 

What do you all think? Which is your favorite? Thanks for sharing!
