{Bridal Fashion} : Little White Dress

With so many options when it comes to bridal fashion, having more than one wedding dress have become the hottest way for brides to incorporate a little more style and personality into their wedding day look. More and more brides are choosing to wear two wedding dresses. Usually, the first one is a long elegant gown and the second look involves a short fun dress.
I am a big fan of the two gorgeous looks that this bride chose for her wedding day. Jordan wore a beautiful timeless, lace gown for the ceremony and the first part of the reception. Then, she dressed in a modern girly short dress for the rest of the evening. How cool is that?

FROM ENGLAND WITH LOVE

Face it, we all have a soft spot for kids.  Stephanie Staub, already well-known in the UK for her Little Eglantine line has just unveiled pieces from the summer 2011 collection..Here's the 'Gallia' green flower girl dress and 'William' green page boy outfit.
The white silk taffeta flower girl dress, with a peter pan collar, puff sleeves and pale green sash is perfect for summer weddings . . .


The 'William' green page boy is made of a ¾ length sleeved shirt, a pair of shorts, both in white cotton, an a pale green taffeta cummerbund to match the girl’s dress.

“I very much like the harmony of white and green. I find it very gentle and refreshing” the designer says.
What makes Little Eglantine so unique not only lies in the exceptional and innovative designs Stephanie offers, but also in the choice of her embroidered, or plain silk taffeta fabrics.

With her attention to detail and refinement, the designer will help you choose and develop designs that will look beautiful and exquisite on children.
“I approached Stephanie without a clear idea or colour scheme for my wedding and she came up with the perfect idea for the wedding. It was all down to her keen eye for colour which was perfect on the day.

The garments were beautifully crafted, original and bespoke. Totally unlike anything one would find in a retail establishment.” A bride

Bridal Session ~ Julia

Earlier this week we posted Julia and James' amazing styled engagement session and now we have more from the incredible shoot with Julia's vintage inspired bridal session. We absolutely adore the idea of a bride taking her bridal session in a vintage gown and Julia did exactly that wearing her mother's wedding gown that looked stunning on the new bride. Wearing her engagement ring that features the diamond from James' late mother's wedding ring and dressed in her own mother's vintage gown, Julia looked absolutely breathtaking in this series of images captured by Ashley Maxwell Photography. With a few modern elements including her gold ballet flats and blush toned floral fascinator Julia gave the gown an updated look, while still keeping true to the gorgeous vintage design.
