Wedding Wednesday: Introducing Stella McCartney Bridal

{ Via: Stella McCartney }

This chic collection was launched last November, but I have not had the opportunity to share before today. With the likes of Meghan Markle choosing Stella to create her reception gown, one wonders what took her so long! 

 In her own words: "I wanted to design pieces that would be comfortable and special and have a strong emotional attachment, but still make you feel like yourself," Stella McCartney exclusively told Brides. "So when it came to designing ‘Made With Love,’ I thought it was important for the name to feel more personal and loving and reflect the experience and feeling of that special day."

This 17 piece collection is not for every woman. It's a new perspective on the traditional that is effortless, confident and naturally sexy, made with signature Stella attitude. Here are some of the signature looks.

Who could forget Meghan's breathtaking and oh so sexy look for her evening reception? Yes, it was designed by Stella McCartney! 

Crepe Halter Gown

A strikingly similar style to the Duchess of Sussex's own gown. Very simple and chic. See it at Nordstrom or

The Pearl Jumpsuit 
Made for the "Made With Love" Collection  is a departure from the traditional, yet still very romantic. Pieces feature sustainable updates on luxurious couture fabric.

Clear Pumps
Transparent pumps also get the monogram treatment this season. An unexpected take on a classic shape.

Wedding Wednesday: Wow Wedding Gowns

Wedding Wednesday: Sheer Comes The Bride ~ Transparent Trends

The wedding gown trends for 2016 veil very little. I don't get it. Is there really a need to look half naked on your wedding day? It use to be "that" was saved for the honeymoon.  I can appreciate any kind of fabulous design, sheer or draped in fabric, but this trend is not for the faint of heart (or modesty.) 

HERE: 15 Dresses Sheer To Seduce 

Bonita Couture 

This dress is beyond gorgeous, and maybe....just maybe appropriate for the beach. That slit almost goes "beyond."

Shabi & Israel 

No one will care what the front of this number looks like with what's going on in back!

Pronovias Caraola

A unbelievable creation of sheerness and lace. The bride, however, best stand perfectly still.

Galia Lahav Bridal Spring 2016 

Super pretty, both the bride and the dress! That side panel of embroidery looks like a danger zone.

Claire Pettibone

This sheer back is etched with embroidered lace. Gorgeous, but does a bride need to to tell the world that she isn't wearing undies?

Christos Costarellos Bridal Collection Spring/Summer 2016

Boho chic and "free spirited."

Inbal Dror Fall 2016

Pockets are fun and the mini skirt is, too, but you can see through both.

Berta Fall 2016

Sexy shimmer and encrusted crystals create a sheer but sensational look.  Every dress in this line is done with the utmost of seductive style.

Jim Hjelm

Incredibly sophisticated if it wasn't totally sheer!

Vera Wang Fall 2016

Fabulous style, but really where would this gown be appropriate?

Pallas Couture 2016 

Perfect for your Vegas wedding at the Chapel of Love

Mira Zwillinger Bridal 2016

Would be delightful if lined.

Marco & Maria Bridal 2016 

This would have totally worked as a great reception outfit if it wasn't for the see through bodice. A beaded bra maybe?

Marco & Maria Bridal 2016 

A pretty tame look, even with the undone laces, until you get to the barely there bodice.

~ And One I Just Love ~

Yolanchris Spring 2016

I would say "I do" in this haute couture number. It's for the bride who cares more about fashion than being the princess bride! Love it for an afternoon wedding.

Wedding Wednesday: The Best Of Bridal 2016

Wedding Wednesday: Say Yes To A Dress With Sleeves!

Do you ever watch "Say Yes To The Dress?" I actually love the show and anything to do with weddings. If you watch, you may notice that rarely do you find a gown with sleeves. Am I the only person that wouldn't go sleeveless? Don't get me wrong, a sleeveless dress can be gorgeous, but they aren't for everyone. Even if you have fit and fabulous arms, these gowns just may convince you to cover up.
