Who doesn’t love a little (or a lot) of sparkle? If you want to truly shine on your big day, a dress with a bit of glimmer is the most glam way to go. And, on this dreary Friday in D.C., bejeweled bridal gowns are the perfect pick-me-up to carry us into the weekend!  Here’s a glimpse at a few we fell especially hard for:

no. 1 Jenny Packham  • no. 2 Reem Acra  • no. 3 Marchesa

no. 4 Ines Di Santo • no. 5 Amsale • no. 6 Mark Zunino

See even more glitzed out options in our full slideshow.

Is there anything sparkly on your wedding planning agenda for the weekend?

Lace made a huge comeback on the runways this season and we couldn’t be happier reveling in this classic fabric.  What we really love, though, is all of the contemporary styling and the suggestion of modern romance. Makes our hearts go pitter patter.

no. 1 Anna Maier • no. 2 Temperley London • no. 3 Alvina Valenta

no. 4 Jim Hjelm • no. 5 Marchesa • no. 6 Reem Acra

Here are thirty dresses that put lace back on the bridal radar

Have a wonderfully romantic and cozy weekend!

After Ruche came out with their debut bridal collection,  stylish brides on a budget rejoiced (and so did we)!  This week, the follow-up collection, Lace and Lavender, was released and it is just so lovely… Here’s a peek!  

Captured against a lush, romantic lavender field, these vintage-inspired beauties are just about as pretty as pretty gets.  See the full lookbook here.

Have a sweet summer weekend ya’ll…

The classic sheath silhouette made a comeback on the Spring 2013 runways.  A great sheath dress reminds me of refined elegance, maturity, and sophistication…  Traditional sheaths fit close around the hips and taper toward the hemline, creating a very tailored look.  However, a bit of room and flow at the hem is more figure- flattering for a bride with some curves.

Are you thinking of a sheath?  One of these just might fit your fancy!

no. 7 Monique Lhuillier no. 8 Theia no. 9 Romona Keveza

What’s your take?  Are you a sheath kind of gal?

Wishing you a lovely little weekend…
