Here Comes The {Fashion} Bride

{ Via: Harpers Bazaar }

I am ecstatic about what's happening in bridal for 2020. The modern brides-to-be are looking for high fashion frocks. Forget the royals or wanting to look like a princess, the fashion bride will reign this year. Perhaps it's thanks to Instagram, but brides this year want to create a "look" that is "Insta-worthy," and reflects their own fashion forward personality. Today's roundup features exaggerated bows, black, fringe, feathers, pants and pastels. It's all so ceremony chic. 

Danielle Frankel 
Her Ruby Silk Wool Gown is one of my favorites. The tulle sleeves are so elegant, don't you think?  This gown will ship by May 14th.

The Doris Gown
From the Vera Wang Fall 2020 collection. This gown features a black faille double tier skirt and a jersey tank with Obi belt. The hat and gloves set it apart from any other wedding look you have ever seen. Love!

Wedding Wednesday: Say No To The Traditional Dress

( Via ZsazZsa Bellagio )  

Not all brides-to-be dream of tulle and tiaras. Some also don't want to look like a Princess. Not that there is anything wrong with any of that. My own Ms. Shop This, would rather float down an aisle in feathers than flowers. I say, why not express yourself in whatever makes you feel special and happy? This edit is for a 2nd time bride, the girl who is more of a fashionista than traditionalist, and for brides who just want to have fun on their special day.

HERE: 12 Wonderful Wedding Looks

Grace Loves Lace Wedding Dress
Short yes, but not short on style or luxury. Made from the finest lace in Australia, this mini dress is then accented with floor length chiffon panels that run free from the skirt's waist.  Cool and very chic.
