I have certainly kicked into high gear with my brides, planning details for their upcoming weddings. Twenty-eleven is looking busy and beautiful – but looking fabulous does not always mean blowing your budget!
The fact that my classically stylish standby, J.Crew, offers a lovely bridal line is not new news…but a few of my recent clients have had wonderful luck finding gorgeous gowns at a great value. Here are just a few of my current favorites {prices for these dresses run between $895-$2500!}:
I adore the stiff volume of the Genevieve gown. Practical pockets will allow you to keep a hankie at hand for your tears of joy.
The gorgeous texture of the silk dupioni Rosette gown would look beautiful with a monofloral bouquet of black-centered anemones.
Subtly colored bridal gowns are hot right now, and the gorgeous graphite Marlene gown is no exception!
The light-as-a-feather organza and chiffon Dune dress would be perfect for any fashion-forward beachy bride.
One of my favorites, the Streamer gown features a simple silhouette with bands of gathered chiffon for a unique and textural look.
My client saw the beautiful French cotton lace of the Simona dress and thought it would look stunning presented against the backdrop of the verdant green grass at her country club, where we’ve scheduled their first meeting and photos.
The silk taffeta Sascha dress is sweetly urban – I adore the over-sized blossom detail at the cinched waist.
