Dressing Up My Bridesmaids.

Perhaps I’m too particular, or I’ve looked at too many wedding blogs, but I just can’t seem to find the right dresses for my bridesmaids - and I know I’m not alone. I drew my inspiration from the ethereal Elie Saab SS2011 runway show and took from it my three core wedding colors: cornflower blue, beige, & coral.

Three colors, three bridesmaids, three dresses. Sounds easy right?

Thus far, the only surviving dress in my wedding party is my sister’s pale blue Melissa Sweet dress (which was a steal by the way for $35 at their salon closing sale!).

Now to find coral & beige chiffon dresses, that are in-stock, flattering, and well-made at a reasonable price. Piece-of-cake… just kidding.


Attention Brides-to-Be!

A new site launched today called Tailored for the brides who have yet to start planning. Much like Pinterest, but geared strictly towards everything wedding, the site provides a short quiz to “tailor” wedding inspiration to your particular style.

Another fun link to check out today is by Refinery29: “12 Simple Styling Tips Any Bride Can Do”.  I’m considering #3!


WHAT I’VE BEEN UP TO…


Wedding planning has taken over my life. The all-consuming crafts, meetings, fittings and decision making has left little time to do otherwise, like shop for clothes (womp womp). With that said, I’m very excited to share the projects that I have been working on. Click through for the DIY projects:

1) Painted Glass Centerpieces

2) Rope Signage

3) Tassel Garland

I scored my white reception dress from Revolve Clothing for $166 (on sale from $495) from ADAM by Adam Lippes.  I’ve also managed to find the PERFECT wedding shoes: Badgley Mischa Randee T-Straps.  Aside from that, I’m slowly envisioning how I want to finish decorating the barn for our July wedding!

Where have I been? What have I been doing?  Well, it’s obvious that I haven’t been blogging. But I have a good reason - I’m actually planning my wedding.

That’s right. I’ve been engaged since March and I am finally getting around to the nitty gritty stuff. And although it’s fun at times and I have insane friends who actually want to help me, it’s eating up all of my time.

Despite my spotty blogging, I do encourage you to check out Asos’s crazy 70% off sale. IT’S AMAZING. You’re welcome!
