Delicately Detailed Wedding Dresses from the Spring ’09 Runways

May 5, 2008 | editorial team

This weekend I attended the wedding of my dear friends Michelle and Chip, and couldn’t stop oohing and ahhing over Michelle’s beautiful dress. It had a fitted bodice with a simple halter neck and drop waist, but the skirt was what stole the show! It was delicately embroidered with a white on white floral, leaf and vine pattern that perfectly personified the sweetness of spring. She looked fresh and glowing and absolutely gorgeous, and reminded me of how much I love the wonderful detailing on wedding gowns!

In honor of springtime brides everywhere, here are some of the fantastically detailed wedding dresses from the recent Spring ’09 bridal runways that will make you fall in love with the season.

Bridal Hair Accessories and Boutonnieres from Bonbon Oiseau

May 2, 2008 | editorial team

I arrived at my computer this morning to such a treat! An e-mail from Deborah, designer of gorgeous handmade wedding accessories for Bonbon Oiseau and a glowing post about Junebug on her delightful blog, Your Destiny is Stone Golden. Anyone who makes such beautiful fashion accessories and tells the world that Junebug is “as glossy as a candy apple and just as delicious,” automatically wins my heart. Thanks Deborah!


Visit her site to see all of her wonderful one-of-a-kind bridal hair accessories made from vintage flowers, feathers, crystals, pearls and semi-precious stones, and to see the list of stores across the country carrying her designs. To order a custom piece, Deborah can work with you one-on-one if you’re in the Brooklyn area, or she can show you design examples over Skype if you can’t quite make it to her studio. How fun! I love the blue feathers in the Something Blue hair comb, and the sweet little flower clusters in her hair tucks. Pretty, pretty, pretty.


Bonbon Oiseau also makes creative boutonnières for guys in all sorts of shapes, sizes and materials. What great keepsakes these would make after the wedding!

Pretty, Pretty Peonies for a Spring or Summer Wedding

April 30, 2008 | editorial team

I adore the romantic, luscious and slightly disheveled look of peonies, and think they make fantastic wedding flowers! Generally available in spring or early summer, there are so many gorgeous colors and varieties to chose from. They are sweet and timeless and can inspire your wedding style from beginning to end with the countless ways they could be incorporated into your bridal bouquet, invitations, wedding cake, reception decor, craft projects, accessories and fashion. So lovely!
