Fun dresses and accessories for your bridal shower, rehearsal dinner and bachelorette party

April 18, 2008 | editorial team

With wedding season arriving across the country, I know lots of you are in party mode, with bridal showers, bachelorette parties and rehearsal dinners to attend. Being slightly fashion obsessed myself, I know what I would be thinking if I were in your shoes, “What am I going to wear to all those events?!” If you’re looking for a few fun ideas for new outfits or for freshening up something you already own and love, here are two spring looks based around the basics.

Start with a simple white dress of any style, and liven it up with richly colored accessories for a fun loving look. Try combining colors you wouldn’t normally think of putting together and see what happens! You might find a new favorite!

Top row:
Thyomas Wylde Mamissi sheer white silk dress
Eugenia Kim multi-strap headband
Celestina Bente Uno cuff
Lauren Merkin Lucy patent croc clutch

Bottom row:
Pollini Studio pollini suede open toe wedge
Love Quotes scarf in lime ice 
Kipepeo gold hoop earrings

 

For a slightly dressier look, start with a little black dress and layer on different metallic accessories, Mix and match tones of silver, gold and bronze for a truly modern take on a classic.

Top row:
DKNY floral appliqué black strapless dress
L. Erickson wrap skinny double headband
Nordstrom gold and silver diamond-cut bangles

Bottom row:
Giuseppe Zanotti silver ballerina flats

Happy partying!!!

Royal Blue and Metallic Wedding Color Palette

April 14, 2008 | editorial team

This past week I’ve been such a lucky girl! I’ve gotten to visit local Junebug member dress shops and choose all the wedding dresses, veils, hairpieces and bridal accessories we’ll be photographing for our book later this week. Fun! Yesterday I picked up this stunning Birnbaum and Bullock tulle ballgown from The Bridal Garden, and I fell in love with the idea of combining its classic beauty with cool rock and roll details. I love the way the grays, metallics and vibrant royal blues in this inspiration board add a lush but slightly edgy modern feel to this wedding day look. So romanitc, yet so current and playful!

Top row:
“Leigh” crinkle silk chiffon ball gown from Birnbaum and Bullock, available at The Bridal Garden
