wed / two piece dress

I'm not even sure where I first spied this two piece stunner from Reem Acra, but I am IN LOVE. 
I love that the dress reflects the current two piece trend while also being somewhat traditional. For a bride who doesn't want to go so bare, I'm sure a seamstress could connect the two pieces with netting or lace. 

wed / gowns

I realized I haven’t posted a wedding gown in awhile and think it’s high time I shared a few that have caught my eye recently.

The first two are very much the kind of dress I’m typically drawn to and while Olivia Palermo’s Carolina Herrara wedding ensemble isn’t new news, it knocks me out every time I see it. Love it!

wed / elie saab for brides

How is it wedding Wednesday again? Ever since some brilliant costume designer put Blair in a blue Elie Saab couture gown for her quickie wedding on Gossip Girl I have been enamored with his ethereal textured gowns. (Plus not gonna lie, I love that his name and mine are one letter off.)

While I’m a traditional white or ivory (or even gold or champagne) girl when it comes to wedding gowns, these could convince me that color is the way to go! I’ve always loved gowns with a 3D detail on them (like I posted about years ago right here).

Take a look at a few more of his stunners…

And I should mention that Elie Saab has a small bridal collection through Pronovias!
