Dresses Cont'd

Have some issues with blogspot today but none the less wanted to continue on the discussion of dresses.

Onto the big guns. Here are some wedding dresses I am loving for myself right now:


Like more girls I love me some Vera Wang. Her collection is above, however, she is also coming out with a line for David's Bridal. It was already premiered on the Oprah show-- but the picture of the line are few and far between. They are similar to her line above, but parred down a bit and the selection of fabrics will obviously be different. She is still intending to use crepes, organza, and the tulle that she does from the same Shanghai suppliers that supply her more high-end fabrics....
Depending where you are from depends when you can spot these dresses in stores- although all are available online. Tons of stores are having a debut of the Vera Line on February 12th (you'll see me in line In North Attleboro, MA as they are a confirmed store debuting on the 12th). Check online for details! (As you can tell, I'm super excited, I've waited for these dresses since July!!)

Here are a few others I Love:

Tara Keley (Available at Helen's Bridal)
Provinas Spring 2011 Line- "Alison"
I'm obsessed with this dress since I spotted it at a bridal show

Michelle Roth

Dresses and more

When I was thinking of a topic today. I realized one thing I haven't hit on yet is dresses.

For one, the idea of a reception dress. For me, I feel like its more of an "after party dress", beacuse in all honesty for the money I am paying for my wedding dress-I want to spend as much time in it as possible..plus its a dress you will NEVER wear again... so live it up!

But I do like the idea of a late night dress as I'll call it--since I am planning on heading for a drink or two after my reception. For others who have a singificantly longer reception than I do, are ready to dance the night away, or perhaps just a really hot day- changing into a "Reception" dress is probably a good choice.

The ones below are all by Sue Wong and are available at Nordstrom. Most are around $400 except the ostrich feather which is around $500.

Just wanted to give a big congrats to my friend and bridesmaid Miss Kate. She did an awesome article that ran in RI Monthly's bridal mag: Engaged!

It's a really great read for the budget minded and I think that's about every bride out there these days!
