Today and tomorrow should be really fun here on SMP…we are going to feature all of the Little Black Dress entries that I have received for our LBD Color Palette Contest! They are ALL really good and I can’t wait to show them off!
In my opinion, the Little Black Dress is such a great, often overlooked option for your bridesmaids. I mean, let’s face it…your maids will LOVE you, they can wear something that is chic and current (and not at all bridesmaids-y) and they really will wear it again. So, for those of you that are considering going the little black dress route…we have some pretty amazing palettes lined up for you!
Here is the first entry…
Black tiered dress with beaded trim by Patra / “Berry Yummy” blackberry cobbler / Tiered flower girl dress / Quilled place cards by Viva Bolivia / Flowers (featuring MarianneTodd photography) Grape wedding cake
More to come!
I was SO excited to see that SMP was featured in the December/January edition of Cosmopolitan Bride UK. The feature is all about the little ways that you can save money when planning a wedding, so for all of you budget conscious brides out there, this issue is a must have! Plus, the magazine is insanely gorgeous so it’s more than worth the purchase! Also, check out their sister site…You & Your Wedding…for TONS of inspiration!
I wanted to leave you for the day with this amazing Grecian wedding shot by the talented girls at Belathee Photography. May today’s posts inspire you to dream in color when it comes to planning your wedding…to remember that the world is filled with places like these that are just waiting for a beautiful couple to share their vows with.
