What sort of headpiece would you like for your wedding day? I've always wanted a simple, classic veil,  but here are 5 options worth considering...

A Guide to Summer Weddings: Getaway dresses

I've always thought it'd be so fun to darting out of you reception and hop onto a tandem bike, jump into red convertible or zip off in a jet. But the thought seems incomplete without the addition of a fun dress! Here are a few of the dresses that will allow you to ditch your wedding gown and slip into something that's perfect to "getaway" in!

I don't know about you, but I've certainly been guilty, many a time, for overpacking suitcases and overstuffing purses. I've since improved my packing skills, and I'd like to help you avoid overpacking this wedding season. In this post, I'll show you my favorite must-haves for guests of summer weddings, along with a couple of packing tips:

A Guide to Summer Weddings: Ladies, what should you wear?

Wedding season has officially begun! This means traditional church nuptials and preppy country club receptions, trendy downtown ceremonies and ritzy black-tie soirées. To kick this thing off, I've decided to start a brief new series called A Guide to Summer Weddings in which I'll feature a few ideas and tips to help brides and guests alike get through the summer. First up: guest attire for women. Enjoy!

 Love! Bookmarked.

Campground wedding

I couldn't get over these stunning photos of this gorgeous bride, Monique, who wed her husband, Josh, on a drizzly campground in New Hampshire this past June. Her gown is just so elegant, and I love her simple rose bouquet, beautiful loc updo, and chic cardigan.

And what a beautiful wedding party!

Spring wedding gowns

BHLDN has just updated their website with their collection of spring wedding dresses. Here are my three faves!

Iced Confection Gown, $1800

Parrish's Princess Gown, $1200

Lita Gown, $2400

While each gown is unique in its own special way, they all give off the same hopelessly feminine and elegant air that BHLDN has come to be known for. Which one is your favorite?

Tiered column corset gown

I've been admiring this gown from BHLDN for a while now...isn't it lovely?? The slim column skirt is complimented wonderfully by the rows upon rows of fluttery silk chiffon. Wouldn't this be perfect for a peaceful garden wedding, where you'd be surrounded by calming lavender plants and your closest friends and family?

Colored engagement rings

Oh my goodness...how gorgeous are these?? Typically, women are proposed to with a white diamond ring, but how would you like to be offered one of these beauties? I'll admit, I still have my heart set on a beautiful yellow diamond, but any one of these rings (especially that amethyst stunner...gee whiz!) would still be quite spectacular.

What about you? Classic white diamond or something a little different?

Colorful summer style wedding

Look how exciting and colorful this "Summer BBQ Party" wedding is! I really love that the bridesmaids wore different dresses and that the groomsmen wore different ties...it all works so well! Would you have an outdoor wedding?

Wedding Album: Barbie and Ken Edition

I came across these images on Glamour and I couldn't resist showing them to you guys! Photographer Beatrice de Guigne came up with this idea and subsequently shot all of these brilliant photos. Look on...

What a genius idea! It actually looks like it could be a real wedding!
