Would You Wear a Wool Wedding Dress?

March 23rd, 2012, by Bride Chic

We've been going over 2012 bridal trends the past few Fridays and here's another worth looking into. Have you heard some designers are using wool for wedding dresses? Not too long ago I fashioned the Harlowesque-style above out of wool crepe. Sleeveless with silk flowers on the shoulder and waist it definitely had all the earmarks of a spring bridal gown. The big question I asked brides was, "Would you wear a woolen dress on your wedding day? In spring?" I got back the...

Would You Wear a Pink Wedding Dress?

February 22nd, 2012, by Azure

Gwen Stefani did it first and now it's all the rage... non-white wedding dresses in shades of rosy pink. And I'm loving it!

And I'm already thinking about what my mom would have...
