Not Your Mother's Dress...

Claire Pettibone's fall 2011 collection features dresses that were all about feminine flower power.
 I love this floral bolero!
 Loving the mandarin collar
 My mother definitely had a dress almost exactly like that!

Winter Weddings: Look 2 - Winter Romance

For the second look, I put together a more casual, romantic-vintage look.
Dress: JCrew. A pretty petticoat lace gown in cream with a faux fur wrap or silk bolero would look beautiful in the winter.
Bouquet: Bardin Palomo. A more casual arrangement of chocolata garden and lovely lydia roses, sweet peas, hypercium berries, tied with a pink velvet ribbon. (photo from Instyle.com)
Cake: Ron Ben-Israel. A gorgeous icy turquoise cake goes perfectly with large burgundy and deep magenta sugar peonies. The cake is a dark chocolate with dulce de leche and raspberry buttercream. (photo from Instyle.com)
Earrings: JCrew. Finish off the look by adding vintage looking jewelry like these pearl glass earrings.

Winter Weddings: Look I - Winter Glamour

I decided to have some fun with winter weddings and post two looks, featuring the work of talented floral designer from NYC, Bardin Palomo.
Dress: Monique Lhuillier. Duchess Satin gown with matching lace trimmed overcoat.
Bouquet: Bardin Palomo. Gorgeous winter white bouquet featuring peonies, French lilac and stephanotis, studded with crystals (photo from Instyle.com).Handbag: Marc Jacobs. Gilda fur & sequin bag. (photo from Saks.com)
Shoes: Christian Louboutin. "Maralena" mesh crystal peep-toe pumps with crystal covered stiletto heel. (photo from Saks.com)
