Bridesmaid Dresses

In the midst of all the wedding craziness that is my life, I got to think about bridesmaids dresses. There have always been dresses that I've liked, styles that I've loved and colors I've always wished looked good on me. Well, I came across these bridesmaid dresses yesterday that nearly made me fall off my chair. I just loved them and wanted to share. If I knew where each of them were from I would certainly post, but I don't. So for now I will just stare at this photo for hours on end.

Kelima K Visit

{photo via facebook}

I was given the pleasure of attending an event at the showroom of the so very talented Kelima K. I was so excited to meet her because her dresses are not only stunning, but Kelima herself is just an absolute peach. Her dresses are detailed, yet simple, and really allow for the bride to wear the dress, and not the other way around.  

My date for the evening (hi Ash!) and I were greeted with yummy champagne cocktails at the door, while delicious hors d'oeuvres were passed around the room. We were able to mingle with brides, other wedding vendors, and enjoyed amazing arm massages by fresh (I still need go out and buy the Rose Marigold Floral Water, it was so refreshing!)

Kelima and her team of delightful young ladies were so friendly and a pleasure to meet. I hope to see you all again very soon!

I absolutely love rehearsal dinners. It's like the calm before the storm. As I was thinking up some different idea's for a rehearsal dinner I'm working on- I thought about what brides wear to these dinners. I'm seeing more often now than ever that brides where white to this as well. But I had to throw in a few of my favorite colors (obviously!).

Jim Hjelm Couture

Jim Hjelm is one of my favorite designers (as you can see here). I love lacey, curve hugging dresses, and his designs embody everything I adore. This dress was my favorite from his 2011 Blush collection.

Things We Love, kate spade

My kate spade obsession is at an all time high now that I have come across this post by Felt and Wire. kate spade has come out with a new book, a spin off of their online series that they have been doing for over 2 years now titled, Things We Love. It is a compilation of all things fabulous, wonderful, and naturally, loved by kate spade. 

Short Wedding Dresses

After drooling over all of the fabulous photos everyone took at the Bridal Market just a few weeks ago, I realized something. I am truly loving the short dress! I know I had mentioned how much I loved this white lace Marchesa mini (here) and after that I really have been in love! I am traditional at heart, so I would definitely have to have a floor length dress to start- but think that changing into a short dress mid-reception is a wonderful way to add a little sass (especially during those warm summer months!)

Here are 3 that I found Southern Weddings Magazine Blog and adore!
