    Maybe it’s the neutral grey-brown hues of a winter thaw that have me craving colour. Or maybe it’s all the work I’ve been doing lately that is making me crave something playful. Whatever it is, I’ve had carnivals and circuses on the brain lately and I’ve been thinking of how much fun it would be to have a ‘carnival-chic’ wedding.

    If you want a wedding gown with sleeves, you want to be Mormon chic. No, really, that’s the name of an online shop I came across today. For those who are picky about chic, there is ‘gospel chic’ gear, ‘mommy chic’ gear, and even ‘deal diva chic’ gear, though I’m not quite sure what that’s all about. In their bridal showcase, you’ll find ‘bridal chic’ gear. Okay, I’m done saying chic now. Seriously. But before I show you a gown with sleeves, I thought I’d share some of the gown guidelines Mormon brides who are married in temple must abide by: Gowns must be white, ...
