• Where is it written that brides must wear a white bridal gown?  Before Queen Victoria chose to wear a white wedding dress, many brides wore any color they wanted on their wedding day.   A romantic, dramatic way to express yourself, I have been seeing a rainbow assortment of  gowns everywhere, and a bride in color is just as lovely, as these ladies prove!

    I had a request from lovely reader Lindsay, who is on the hunt for a white dress to wear to her upcoming bachelorette party that is taking place this spring. Additionally, Lindsay prefers that the dress be under $100 (understandably so). While I was able to find a few that are under that price point, the majority of the dresses I found are just slightly over $100 (think $120-$150 range). I am going to show them all here in case you're in the market for a similar dress, and even though I am going to show those that are over Lindsay's price point I'll offer up a suggestion. You'll also need ...

    What is the image you would like to expose at your wedding ceremony? This is the question you should ask yourself before purchasing your dress, deciding for a certain hairstyle or going for a particular makeup. This question is highly important because it will help you realize a detailed analysis about you, which will lead to exhibiting the right bridal look. And if the first image that comes into your head is the one of a white bride, than you should totally choose something like this. Anyway, we believe that no bride could fail to portray a flawless image if she would pick a white look becau...

    Katherine and Adam were married at Phipps Mansion in Cherry Creek (Denver), Colorado. Love the colors!! The maids and mini-maids are wearing Jenny Yoo. The color is “charmed violet”. So perfect. The little man is wearing a custom vest and tie by ‘My Big Guy’ for Annie Girl.  The mother of the bride [not shown] wore Modern Trousseau. All attire was, of course, through the lovely ladies at The White Dress By The Shore. Thanks to Beth, Katherine & Adam, and Julie Harris Photography for sharing these photos with us! And before we leave for the day, we want to share a few more gow...
