2007 Gown Round-Up

Thank you all so much for your great feedback with the site design! It looks like design A is the clear winner so far! Next week, I am going to put A against a new design to see what you guys think. This round however, will end on Sunday, so don’t be shy about commenting.

One of my readers asked if I would do a little round-up of some of my favorite gowns for 2007….Um, of course!!! I still honestly believe that my wedding gown is the most beautiful gown ever in the history of wedding gowns, but I suppose there are some pretty ones out there this season. Just teasing. To me, a wedding gown is a lot like a child. Yours is always better.

Here are some of my favorites for 2007…

Okay, let’s discuss. The top row are gowns that are a little more traditional. With that said, each one is completely infused with a contemporary style that I love. From the left, the designers are Melissa Sweet, Jim Hjelm and Amsale. I loooove the Amsale dress. It reminds me of something that Chloe from Project Runway would do.

The second row gowns are all a bit more flowy…almost grecian. This style, for now, is more of what I gravitate towards. It just feels whispy and romantic. I envision a low, very loose bun and antique gold earings to complete the look. I am still kind of obsessed with lace and I love that these designers brought in a very sexy appeal to such a traditional fabric. Designer on the left is Oscar de la Renta and the center/right are Badgley Mischka.

The gowns on the third row are sweet, almost innocent. And yet, they seem so timeless and elegant to me. I absolutely love the detailing on each of these gowns…the first has such a pretty silhouette, the second has gorgeous lace detailing without seeming over the top and the third has such beautiful layering. You don’t see gowns like this often. From the left, the designers are Angel Sanchez, Carolina Herrera and Angel Sanchez again.

If you know about my love affair with all things Vera, you are probably wondering why I don’t have any of her designs up here. To be honest, it’s a totally different beast. Tomorrow, I am going to have my new favorite Vera dresses…I thought they deserved a post all on their own.

   Lately I've also been going towards the more whispy/flowy/grecian look. I love your selections!

   Ooooh good choices, I love them all, especially the Carolina Herrera. As a fellow Vera lover myself, I can't wait for tomorrow's post.

   Since your gown is your all-time favorite, how about showing us another photo from YOUR wedding (that shows the front?)...so we can ooh & ahh over it!

   I just went to one of my dearest friend's weddings in Chicago and she wore a gorgeous Carolina Herrera gown with 3/4 length sleeves and tiny bows ties at the end of the sleeves. It was so gorgeous and great to see sleeves done so elegantly!
