As a fangirl of all things wedding, I love an impeccably designed wedding dress. As an art director, I pine over an aesthetically awesome, thoughtfully planned out set. When I went to Paloma Blanca’s website, they delivered both to me and immediately stopped me in my web hopping tracks. I really love how the antique [...]

Dreamy Dresses from Caroline Seikaly
Tuesday, August 4, 2009
I always get giddy when I get the opportunity to discuss the work of fellow Rhode Island School of Design alumni. It’s great to see people who went through the same four years of craziness do well in the outside world; it’s like we’re part of a dorky little club and we should all cheer [...]
Lovely Dresses from Martina Liana
Monday, July 27, 2009
When it comes to wedding dresses, my taste is defined by one overarching rule: don’t put a lot of junk on it. Lace and bead work is fine, but if there’s so much on a dress that it weighs more than you do, I think it starts to feel like overcompensation for something the design’s [...]
Amsale: Dresses to Impress
Tuesday, July 7, 2009
While researching more wedding dresses, I took a deeper look at the current Amsale collection. It’s surprisingly diverse stylistically and has the potential to appeal to a wide audience of brides. They all have something special about them in their details that keep them from feeling like they’re all over the map (design-wise) and that [...]
To Die-For Dresses from Romona Keveza
Tuesday, June 30, 2009
A little while ago, some of you asked me to start featuring more wedding dresses (yes, a surprising lack of posts in that area for a wedding blog) but I wasn’t really falling head over heels in love with anything I was finding. I blame wedding burn out from my own planning! Anyway, I found [...]
Reader Request: Cute Maternity Bridesmaid Options
Thursday, May 7, 2009
Julie from Up Up Creative asked me if I wouldn’t mind doing some digging to help her find the perfect hip matron of honor dress for her sister’s upcoming wedding – with two side conditions. First, it should (if possible) come in brown, which is fairly easy because most vendors carry some shade of brown [...]
Here Comes The (Fashionable) Flower Girl!
Monday, May 4, 2009
I’ve wondered for a while why every single flower girl dress seems the same – and for some reason, they all inevitably have a bow or some sort of midsection ribbon. All the rest of the bridal party gets to look fashionable, but the poor neglected flower girl gets banished to the land of cookie [...]
Romance and Ruffles: Dresses by Katie Jean Walker
Thursday, April 23, 2009
Call me a sap, but in some ways, I’m still a little girl. I still cling to those grand romantic visions of knights in shining armor and damsels in distress. Needless to say, as I’ve grown up, the fairy tale visions have been replaced by a more mature storybook romance – one in which a [...]
Recessionista Chic: Bridal Gowns Under $750, Part Two
Tuesday, March 10, 2009
Who says affordable can’t be unique? Thanks to SarahSeven, brides looking for something “a little different” on a little budget can rest easy. Hop on over to your local tailor to get measured, submit your measurements, wait for your dress, and head back to your tailor for alterations as usual – easy peasy! A Peaceful [...]
Recessionista Chic: Bridal Gowns Under $750, Part One
Tuesday, March 10, 2009
First, let me start by apologizing for not having a post yesterday. I thought I had covered my entire trip but I just realized I hadn’t scheduled anything for my “travel home” day. It was a whirlwind long weekend (more on that on Wedding Chicks later) and it apparently went beyond my notice. Woops. I’m [...]
