Project Wedding Blog

Don’t get us wrong—we love, love, love the classic look of a floor-length wedding gown. But after rings have been exchanged and vows have been said, what bride doesn’t want a dress that’s a little easier to move in? We’re big time advocates of a second (and shorter!) reception dress here at Project Wedding, and this sweet little Kirribilla number from Weddington Way is one of our faves right now. Add a few bits of (elegant) bling and finish off with a shiny cobalt pump for a city chic ballroom celebration.

Where to Buy: Kirribilla Celeste Little White Dress ($420) • Ban.do Crystal Swirl Brooch Bobbi ($130) • New Look Pleated Satin Box Clutch ($22.02) • Lydell NYC Blue Crystal Stud Earrings ($25) • Kate Spade Emison Satin Peep-Toe Pump ($328)

Sigh. There’s something just plain magical about a full, floor-length skirt, right? When it comes to looking like a princess on your wedding day, nothing sets the tone quite like a classic ball gown. Lucky for us, designers answered our fairy tale fantasies this season, sending one dreamy dress after another down the runway.

A few of our favorites:

no. 1 Amsale • no. 2 Romona Keveza • no. 3 Kenneth Pool

no. 4 Austin Scarlett • no. 5 Mark Zunino • no. 6 Maggie Sottero

Does anyone have big dress shopping plans this weekend?

Happy Friday!

It’s hard to believe, but autumn is just around the corner… I can already feel the buzz of back-to-school…the joys of late summer produce… and the richness of dahlias blooming.  While it’s not quite time to pull out the cable knits, here are five fall wedding dresses that are the epitome of elegance and beauty.  An added strap here and there… a touch of a sleeve… the luxury of fine fabric: all bridal elements that add to the exquisiteness of autumn formalwear.

no. 1 Lazaro

no. 2 Douglas Hannant

no. 3 Temperley London

no. 4 Ines Di Santo

no. 5 Alvina Valenta

That’s really just a peek though… here are thirty fabulous fall dresses that I’ve hand-picked from the 2013 collections.

Happy Weekend

Amato Haute Couture is huge in Dubai – and now you see why! Created by designer Furne One, the line is all the rage amongst celeb types there. I just love the creativity, hair, makeup, and overall style of this campaign! It’s kind of Lady Gaga-esque, no? Enjoy the wedding eye candy
