Flower Power: Spruce Up Your Space For Spring

Wedding Wednesday: Wow Wedding Gowns

{ Via: ZsaZsa Bellagio }

My motto is that life is too short to not wear a "wow" gown. It's your special day. Why not make a statement?  This season and going forward in 2019, designers went for it, and have showcased unapologetic strong silhouettes. Vera Wang did an entire season in color.  Newcomer Danielle Frankel, designed fabulous fashion forward frocks, and Claire Pettibone did Boho chic like none other. Every design in this edit made me say "wow." Let's see if you do, too.

 
HERE: 10 Bridal Wows

Yolan Cris 
You see this designer's gowns on the red carpets often. They always stand out to me. I mean you don't often see a bride wearing a cape and a scarf! This is bridal haute couture, 
for sure.
Yolin Chris

Danielle Frankel Spring 2019
Pleats please! And those sleeves.....fabulous. I also always think that a long sleeve on a wedding gown adds a certain elegant touch.
Danielle Frankel

Atelier Pronovios Spring 2019
The Carina is both sexy and glam at the same time. The wow factor comes from the sleeve veiling! Now that's unique. Again, the long sleeves make a statement. 
Pronovios

Vera Wang
Blush and nude ball gown with a multi layered tulle skirt. I probably could do without the giant bougainvillea, but that is part of the 
wow factor.
Vera Wang

Francesca Miranda Alina
Spring 2019 for the modern bride. High-low hand embroidered tulle skirt, over crepé ‘skinny’ pants. Fun!
Francesca Miranda

Costarellos Fall 2018
The Greek designer's coveted aesthetic is marked by Goddess-like silhouettes and his signature intricate lacework. The sleeves above are just dreamy. See this style HERE. Shop a trunk show of Costarellos classics at 
Moda Operandi 

Temperley London Toledo Dress
Soft and ethereal, with exquisite and intricately placed embroidery in a rich color palette, which is folkloric in feeling. This is a timeless Temperley statement bridal piece. Perfect for a desert wedding, no?
Temperley London

Monique Lhuillier
Oh how fabulous! No veil needed. Can you imagine how it moves on the dance floor?
Monique Lhuillier

Claire Pettibone Shangri-La Gown
The multi colored embroidery is layered over gold lace, and might just transport you to your own utopia.  Boho chic at its' finest!
Claire Pettibone

Alan Hannah
Spring 2019 Bridal Collection
I am crazy for British designer, Alan Hannah's gowns. There is something very unexpected about each design. Isn't this gold veil such a
 luxe look?

Woven Wonders: The Best Basket Bags & Totes

{ Via: Shopbop }

Hopefully you had a fabulous long weekend. Even though it is still officially Spring, the warm weather certainly feels like Summer.  So does a straw bag. These woven wonders have become the "IT" bags of the season.  I just love them. These bags can go from the beach to the bistro, and look casually chic no matter how you carry them. Designer Rebecca Minkoff has designed two of my favorites, as seen above. You can shop them at Shopbop (and by the way, you can also use your Amazon Prime for shipping.)

 bag for every budget.
