Would You Wear a Wool Wedding Dress?
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?
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 although I adore this 2012 bridal style trend (I've always been a pink girl!), I'm just not sure I'd have the cojones to ultimately choose a pink gown. I guess it's because I've been programmed to think that my wedding dress will be white (or ivory, ecru, candlelight, etc.), come hell or high water. And I'm already thinking about what my mom would have...
