Peplum Gowns

Wednesday, June 12th, 2013

I normally try to report a bit from New York Bridal week. I’m a wee bit late this year but wanted to show a few features because it is everything about bridal style.

One look that featured this year is a style that we’ve seen on the catwalks so of course it was a natural progression into wedding gowns.

It’s Peplum gowns.

What is a Peplum you ask? Well you know then when you see them but the description is pretty much a short flared piece of fabric attached to the waist of a woman’s jacket, blouse or dress. It’s a great look for accentuating a waist. Whether you have a tiny waist or not a peplum will make one for you by flaring out from the waist.

Here are some of my favorite wedding gowns with this feature.

Pretty in Pink by Angel Sanchez 2014

Marchesa

Jenny Packham

Alyne

Amsale 2013 collection

All are beautiful and I love how they are mixing the fabrics and the skirts.

Is this your bridal style??

Paper to Reality

Thursday, June 14th, 2012

When I have my office fully finished {it never will be} I will have wedding gown sketches in beautiful flourished white frames all over the place. I love them. Just the sketches and just about any gown will do, they are so simple, elegant, beautiful and just – art.

Have a lookie here to see the sketches and the gowns as they turned out.

I just love the detail, the possibilities and elegance of the sketches.

If you like these, you may like to see this post I did featuring Pretty as a Picture, who can do a sketch of your own gown for you. Love that idea too!

Affordable Vera

Thursday, February 23rd, 2012

Well I’m just back from my trip home to Los Angeles. It was a real family visit and although I did have some bride meetings, I really didn’t do much wedding related things, unfortunately.

What I did do was pick up some American wedding magazines. I always love flipping through wedding magazines from other countries and pick them up whenever I travel abroad. Because of that I should have some fun new posts for you with hopefully a few different fun and creative things.

This first post on my return isn’t exactly on anything new as it stars Vera Wang. But what I do want to do with this post is show you, Irish brides, the very affordable Vera Wang gowns you can get from David’s bridal in America because yes, they do ship to Ireland.

I’ll tell you the cost in dollars and convert it into Euro at the current rate but keep in mind that there will be tax, postage and probably customs {unless you are sneaky – but keep in mind that I don’t condone evading customs — ahem} but they are all under the Irish national average on wedding gown spends.

Ready?

There are other colors in this lovely and it’s only $1,248.00 = about €950

Super gorgeous and reduced to $1148.00 = about €890.00

Romantic and only $1498.00 = €1,130.00

So pretty in Pink and discounted to $848.00 which = about €640.00!

See the full Vera Wang White collection at David’s Bridal here

And how about your maids?? More pretty pretty Vera for them too and all are under $200.00 = €150.00!

Love.
