Whenever I’m lucky enough to get down to Portland, OR for a weekend away, I love to stop by The English Department. Owner and designer Elizabeth Dye carries a number of lovely bridal lines as well as designing her own custom pieces. Since I don’t get down there nearly often enough, I was super excited to run across her shop on Etsy where she sells these ridiculously adorable shrugs and boleros just for brides. Some are made from vintage pieces, some are brand new and customizable, and all would look gorgeous over a wedding dress (or in my opinion, jeans and a tank top too!) Check them out!
Net-a-Porter’s New Wedding Boutique
One of my favorite places for online shopping (and window shopping and daydreaming!) is Net-a-Porter.com, and to my delight they have just launched a wedding boutique! For the non-traditional fashion forward bride, or for anyone looking for that one super special piece, this shop is a gold mine. They have their wedding boutique divided up into sections for the Bride, Bridesmaid, Mother of the Bride, Wedding Guest, Lingerie, and Honeymoon so there’s all sorts of fun finds to shop through. If you need a little eye candy or a spring fashion pick-me-up, head on over and check it out!
