Red Carpet Style Wedding Dresses

Tuesday, February 26th, 2013

I love watching the Oscars, not so much because of the movies but for the fashion. Every year there seems to be a gown or two that could work easily walk down the red carpet and the aisle. Here’s a glimpse of some of our favorite red carpet wedding inspired dresses we’ve seen in the past few years.

Jessica Chastain Givenchy golden globe gown
Jessica Chastain wore this beautiful, pearl-encrusted Givenchy gown to the Golden Globe Awards. This would look amazing at a vintage-glam themed wedding.

Uma Thurman Versace dress
Uma Thurman choose this white Versace dress for the opening ceremony at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival. The strapless look makes it an ideal contender to double as a wedding dress.

jennifer lawrence oscar dress

One of our favorite dresses at the Oscar’s this year was Jennifer Lawrence’s Dior gown. The color and the long train makes it very bridal but still a perfect choice for the year’s biggest award show.

Jennifer Love Hewitt Romona Keveza gown
This Romona Keveza gown was worn by Jennifer Love Hewitt at the 2011 Golden Globe Awards. You can even find some Romona Keveza wedding dresses for sale on BravoBride.

Anne Hathaway Valentino gown
I love this Valentino gown Anne Hathaway wore to the 2011 Love Ball. The floral hair wreath accessory complements it perfectly and makes it look even more bridal.

jessica pare One-Shoulder Jason Wu Gown
Jessica Pare wore this one-shoulder Jason Wu Gown to the 2012 Emmy Awards. This gown would be perfect for a beach or garden wedding.

Couture Gown – Margherita Missoni – Collaboration w/Giambattista Valli

Margherita Missoni, heiress to her family’s Missoni fashion house, got married in June in a Giambattista Valli wedding dress. It was collaboration between the designer, her mother and her self. I would say this collaboration was a winner. It is a beautiful silk and organza off-the-shoulder gown with lovely detailed flower applique.

Fabulous Flower Girl Frocks

Friday, November 30th, 2012

We all know the flower girl is almost as eagerly anticipated as the bride coming down the aisle. Her dress has also been carefully selected and she probably spent as much time as the bride getting her hair coiffed picture-perfect for her long walk. There is no doubt, she will wonder if she is walking too fast, too slow, smiling enough, carefully rationing her flowers to make it to the end. Now that is some pressure for a little one. So when her job is done and she kicks off her shoes, she will be ready to dance the night away! Here are a few dresses that are cute but comfy enough to wear until the party ends.

Our personal favorites from sweet to over the top fabulous! Take a look at these flower girl showstoppers by DreamSpun.

cotton flower girl dresses
Not only are these adorable in style but equally fabulous in cotton for comfort! Dress on the left is from Sash Couture and the one on the right is by Maliposha Clothes.

How to Wear a Bridesmaids Dress Anywhere

Monday, August 27th, 2012

We’ve all heard the phrase in reference to bridesmaids dresses, “The best part is you can totally wear this again!” but honestly, how often have you worn that chiffon creation since your friend said, “I do?” We’ve put together some ideas on how you can actually work a leftover bridesmaid dress into your everyday wardrobe. With fun accessories even the most formal bridesmaid dresses can become über wearable and fashion forward!

unique bridesmaid dresses
We pulled this first look together with pieces almost entirely from macy’s. From the original bridesmaid dress, to the fabulous bag, these pieces are easy to find and most of them highly affordable! To tone down the formal feel of the floor-length gown, we added a belt and fun pair of wedges. Add a light Chambray button down tied at the waist, and all that’s left is a fun statement necklace to compliment the vibrant gown. We think this look is perfect for Sunday brunch with the girls or a casual summer date night.

affordable bridesmaid dresses
This next look comes to you from the collections at Banana Republic. Starting with a simple yet elegant bridesmaid dress, we softened the look with sophisticated neutrals and an elegant light wrap sweater. But our favorite part of this is the fun play on classic pearls! The necklace and bracelet are traditional yet fun and modern! Perhaps this would work for dinner with the in-laws or even a
church or PTA event.

anne taylor bridesmaid dresses
Last but not least we revamped this Ann Taylor one shoulder bridesmaid dress to be 100% date night worthy! With sexy strappy heels and fun gold accessories you can knock ’em dead in this fabulous look. One of our personal favorite parts of this is the fun little clutch – just the right size to fit your touch up essentials. After all, a glam outfit deserves some all over glamour! Maybe a smokey eye or bright red lip could complete this look.

So next time you open your closet and think you have nothing to wear, you might just want to bring out that old bridesmaid dress after all.
