2012 Bridal and Bridesmaid Looks by Watters

Aimée — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 21:00:01 +0000

When it comes to your wedding, it really is all about the dress. And when your big day comes and you slip into the dress you want to look and feel like the most gorgeous version of yourself. Lucky for you, the fabulous people at Watters totally get that and I swear they had each and every one of you in mind when they created their 2012 Collection. With layers upon layers of ruffles, fabric detailing and simple girly gorgeous tucked into every single design it’s a guarantee you’re going to feel amazing while donning one of these pretties. They seriously outdid themselves this year with their collections in Bridal, Wtoo, Bridesmaids, Mother of the Bride and they even remembered your littlest aisle attendants with some adorable Flower Girl dresses.

See what I mean? How about that frilly pink frock?! It’s beyond gorgeous and I need someone to rock it asap. Maybe I can talk one of my newly engaged girlfriends into wearing it? I’m so loving the open backs, rich textures, and demure necklines that I could literally gush on and on. And have you ever seen such chic bridesmaids dresses before? All I have to say is that if you’re getting married this year or are in a wedding, you are one lucky chica, because with this 2012 collection, you’re gonna be making quite the fashion statement. Just think of all the fabulous looks you could dream up starting with these pretty little frocks…

Buying Guide: Santa Barbara Wedding by Michael and Anna Costa Photographers Ltd.

Erin — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 20:00:40 +0000

It’s been awhile since we’ve delved into a buying guide but fear not. We’re back and ready to party with today’s gorgeous display of Santa Barbara nuptials photographed by Michael and Anna Costa with the yummiest of florals by Modern Day Design. The wedding may have been beach side but glamour was definitely not forgotten. We are talking tuxes, a breathtaking gown and loads upon loads of romance. Yep, romance was the name of this game. So buckle up and get your buying hats on because we’ve got some fabulous pieces perfect for infusing into your own wedding day extravaganza.

1. Glamour starts with your groom in a classic, black tux and J.Crew has quite the affordable collection for this most special of occasions.

2. The flowers from today’s affair played center stage. To get the look, try pairing bunches of one type of flower per vase (think ranunculus, hydrangea, roses and other textured blooms) then group the vases together for a really striking albeit insanely beautiful look.

3. Sparkling candlelight will set the mood for a romantic evening indeed. We love these mercury glass votives from West Elm. They are a classic that never goes out of style and the sparkle factor? Through the freaking roof.

4. A gorgeous, ruffled wedding gown. Can you really imagine the Bride wearing anything else to this fête? Come one, come all and join us as we say YES, PLEASE to this ruffled beauty from J.Crew

5. Aside from the Bride and Groom, the only other necessity at a classic wedding like this is flutes of bubbly. No need for fancy signature drinks, just pop open a bottle of Champy and your guests will be happy, happy clams

6. We love a good monogram around these parts and can’t think of a better accessory for all your wedding paper goods. These letterpress monogram tags from Paper Source are just the thing for favor boxes. (Add their peacock colored ribbon to complete the look) Another favorite? Betsy White who has a plethora of fabulous monogram designs to choose from.

7. Your favorite ladies will look beyond stunning in this floor length number from Dessy

8. Looking to add a little bling to your ears? These Pear Drop Earrings from Nadri are both sophisticated and timeless and the price tag? Not too shabby my friends.

9. To keep all eyes on those pretty petals making up your centerpiece, go for a clear glass vase. These square vases from Ikea will do just the trick and at $2.49 a pop you can sprinkle them all over the place

Tux: J.Crew / Flowers: Fifty Flowers / Votives: West Elm / Wedding Gown: J.Crew / Moet & Chandon: K&L Wines / Letterpress Monogram Tag: Paper Source / Bridesmaid Dress: Alfred Sung #D511 for Dessy / Earrings: Nadri via Nordstrom / Square Vase: Ikea
