I am going to play favorites and share with you two of the dresses that I have just fallen in love with. Style 12169 and style 12199 are just so darling.
The top two images are of 12169. Let me first start off by saying - WOW! I have had a favorite dress for quite some time, but this one really has stolen my heart. It is made with Dove colored Duchesse Silk and Charcoal Tulle. It can come in white or ivory. So don't worry! You can still have this fabulous dress even if the color is a little too nontraditional for you.A little tid bit of bridal trivia for you - white dresses were originally only used for weddings because the bride was unable to afford a dyed fabric. Only wealthy brides could wear a coloured gown.
I love the ribbon accent and stars on the dress. Both are optional but could be a fun touch to add for the reception if you didn't want to wear them down the aisle. You may even be able to turn the stars into earrings and a matching necklace. I will have to explore that option with local jewelers.
Style 12199 is also a fantastic option! She is made of Duchesse Silk as well (shown in ivory) and has an aquamarine garland. The garland can also come in a crytal color so that it is a little more subdued. The back sash is shown in black elastic but it can also come in oyster, ivory, or white grosgrain ribbon.
I just adore the bodice of this dress. The neck line is beautiful! Sweetheart necklines are a nice option for something a little different than just straight across. The draping of the skirt is lovely as well. I believe that this will create a nice slim shilloutte.
I just can't wait to see these girls in person! I know that these two will be on the top of many magazines best dress lists for Fall 2009! I hope that they inspire you as you search for your wedding gown.
Happy wedding planning!
