Looking at all the wedding dresses from the spring 2008 bridal collections, I got giddy with inspiration! What beautiful choices there are for every bride-to-be! Here are three of my favorites and the colors palettes, themes and accessories they inspired…
A Green Spring Garden Party
Wedding dress by Oscar de la Renta, sweet pea and orchid cake from MarthaStewart.com, green bridesmaid’s dress by Reem Acra, Pedro Garcia satin peep-toe pumps from Saks.
A Rich Red Affair, Bursting with Berries and Flowers
Wedding dress by Reem Acra, pink snowberry bouquet and strawberry meringue butter cream cupcake from MarthaStewart.com, “Dahlia” invitation by Ephemera Custom Letterpress, Valentino Laminated Leather Bow Clutch from Neiman Marcus.
A Sparkling Blue and White Cocktail Party
Wedding dress by Monique Lhuillier, Adriana Orsini crystal/zirconia earrings from Saks, Tom Binns Swarovski crystal embellished cuff from Net-a-Porter.com, “Wisteria Vine” linen wrap from AccessoriesLab.com, blue satin Dorian heel by Brian Atwood, navy damask fabric from Waverly.
Love the “Sparkling Blue and White Cocktail Party” — aren’t those Brian Atwood shoes to die for? They’re totally my inspiration shoe. That silly $675 or whatever it was price tag is the only thing holiding me back :o)
I have been looking for a navy/ivory damask everywhere. Couldn’t find the navy (only black) on the Waverly website. Do you happen to know the name or style #? Thanks!
The style # on the Waverly site is 671430- Duchess Damask- Onyx. It looks very navy on the site, but you’re right, with a name like Onyx it may actually be black! Style # 672500- SNS Muse- Indigo is a lighter blue, but still so, so pretty.
i have been trying to find the blu dorian brian atwood shoes…anyone know where i could find them????
It seems, unfortunately, that the Dorian shoes are sold out pretty much everywhere. I went on hunt and all I could find were a couple sizes left on sale (yay!) in black at Net-A-Porter http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/23950. I’m going to write to Brian Atwood to find out if they are re-releasing this style anytime soon since I’ve gotten so many questions about where to find them. Wish me luck!
