a beachy cottage & some serious couture

every bride does it, even when they know better... you know, continuing to look at dresses once their's has already been fawned over and paid for! but this shoot featured in charleston weddings mag took my breath away. shot out on the gorgeous sullivan island, the airiness of the fabrics, that slightly goddess-like appeal = gorgeous.

i love the neckline and detailing of this claire pettibone dress. and combined with the alexis bittar necklace, its amazing!

these last two dresses are my favorite - another claire pettibone "moonlight" and the last being carmela sutera. the hem on the claire pettibone is beautiful.

i already have my dress - there's really no turning back at this point with three months to go. but check out the GORGEOUS designs from the extremely talented Delphine Manivet. although she is based in paris, i would consider making the trip ; ) her work is simply stunning!  feminine, unique, and slightly ethereal. these are a few of my favorites (especially Sacha), but check out her site for more loveliness. 

gorgeous.

a little etsy trip

I went on a little etsy shopping trip the other day and came across this beauty... isn't this just divine? how gorgeous would this dress be for a garden wedding? (p.s. SUCH a bargain!)

wardrobe envy

I know I'm supposed to be out enjoying the sunshine, but I've gotten a little distracted by some of these lovelies. Seriously, can I hire these girls to give me a fashion lesson? They look freakin' fabulous! 

Plus I just LOVE LOVE LOVE both of these shoots. Scroll down the blog and you're probably starting to see a trend in my photography taste. ; ) 

seriously - what an awesome shot. love the colors and texture.

 i love this dress. enough said.

hello.

Can I switch my bridesmaids dresses?  And subsequentially our entire "color scheme" (if you can call it one). Adorable! Who ever said prints don't work for a wedding, was obviously very wrong.

Even though I'm going the birdcage route - this is a very refreshing option for a veil - the netting, the trim - I love the vintage vibe.
