More controversy on the Royal Wedding, Kate's Maid of Honor, her sister Pippa,  wore White! Gasp! Holy Cow! Shut the front door! The world is coming to an end.



Now that you are breathing again. We think she looked lovely. Her dress was simple, elegant, and fit her beautifully! With you sister becoming the future Queen of England, would it have mattered if she wore a bathrobe? Probably not. All eyes are on Kate...so Pippa wearing white, is a fashion trend that we like.



It shows that the bride the confident and understands that color is just that. A color.



And a quick note on Kate's dress, the leaves were a beautiful suprise. Love the Chantilly Lace and then beautiful clean lines! Can't wait to see more of this!

If I could do IT again

I often talk about getting married again, well, not getting married to a different man...the same man, I love John, and I couldn't imagine my life without him.



But if we could do our wedding over again, what I would do differently... you know I'd hire a photographer, I've talked about that before.



But what about what I would wear?



Definately not WHAT I ACTUALLY wore... because that was anything but timeless... can you say helllllllllloooooooo 80's!



I mean, big, everything...

I'd probably be a two dress bride.

Maybe?

We’re Starting a Movement – No More Ugly Hangers!

You’ve spent so much time in search of “The One”… the one perfect wedding dress, that is. So why would you then hang your gorgeous gown on a hideous hanger?! Join us in our movement to ban ugly plastic hangers! Pretty ones will make your wedding dress photos oh so lovelier, and the great thing is you can customize them to your taste. We were inspired by these wire dress form photos on Pure Photography by Lindsey.  And these from Etsy are personalized with your new name or monogram!



Come on, join our movement - your dress deserves it!

Color Controversy

Most girls dream of walking down the isle in a big white dress. It's one of the only consistent wedding traditions. Now we see most brides leaning towards an off white dress and every once and awhile a modern bride comes along who wants to make a statement. Her statement just happens to fall in the midst of a white tradtion. She goes against the grain and wears a colored dress:

So for our bride readers out there who are leaning towards the colored dress trend, we say to stop and think first.

Disadvantages:

• You may not be the only one wearing your color.
• You can always wear a colored dress.
• What color will your bridesmaids wear? Colors are harder to pair up together.
• When can you honestly wear another big white dress again?

Advantages:

• Colors compliment most skin tones better than white or ivory.
• Don't have to worry THAT much about staining your dress.
• You're the bride, so you will stand out regardless of the color of your dress.
• A colored dress can incoprorate your color scheme and vision more.

So how far is too far for a pop of color? Do any of you brides plan on wearing a colored dress? And do any of you traditional brides think it's going too far?
