    Dress Idea: For those of you are who HUGE fans of the vintage-inspired, tea-length gowns of Stephanie James Couture (but can't afford it), you MUST take a look at Dolly Couture's gorgeous gowns. They range from $395-$595 (the exquisite Marin County above is my favorite, and only costs $495!)....

    I am a sucker for a perfect, cocktail style short wedding dress. Probably because I am not sure I could ever take the plunge myself (though have such jealously for those who do!), but also because there is so much room for such fabulous style when you shorten the hemline. So, when the wonderfully talented Alice Hu sent me photos from a recent shoot that she did for Dolly Couture, I swooned a little bit… Adorable, aren’t they? And the leapard pumps…well, perfection. Here are a few details from Alice… This shoot was shot at the amazing Pacific Edge Villa in Laguna Beach.  Both of these...

    We were so charmed by all the eclectic little details of Jeff and Andy’s midcentury, museum, Los Angeles wedding, documented by Made U Look Photography - but we were particularly taken aback by her vintage-inspired dress! There’s so much to fawn over - the playful, scalloped hem, the sweetheart neckline, the polka-dot illusion sleeve. This customized Dolly Couture concoction reminds us so much of the fabulous party dresses Elizabeth Taylor made famous in the 1950’s. ...

    Well hello lovelies! A little late but no less lovely with today's final feature, courtesy of photography Sassy over at Assassynation. And forgive me, but I couldn't help think this feature was perfect given the current state of the British weather.  Whose idea was the hosepipe ban?!? This is Sarah and Richard, and they tied the knot on 20 January this year at the gorgeous Belle Epoque. Now Sarah has been a little shy in completing her form so photographer Sassy has a few words to say, and we've included some credits at the end of this feature. I'm just loving the 1950&#...

    Today I came across the wonderful work of DollyCouture.net - a custom vintage-inspired short wedding dress website. All of their hand-made gowns are under $600 and are so fabulous! This is perfect for the bride wanting something unique to wear on her day...I think this would also be a perfect "reception dress," for the brides who are desiring to have a two-dress wedding...a longer, traditional and formal look for the ceremony, but a fun and short look for the reception!I think the "Milan" is my personal favorite! Love, love, love the chiffon rosettes!   - Amber Housley, A...
