Inspired by the Oscars

I know its been a few days since the Oscars and our attention has not moved to other things ... but I did want to write a little about the red carpet gowns and how you can translate them into your wedding style!

If you noticed, there was a lot of nostalgic 50's looks. I think that has something to do with the comfort that we feel when we think of the 50's. We think of the Cleavers, perfect June in her darling house dress making cookies and Ward coming home from a long day of work and the boys, Beaver and Wally, getting into a bit of mischief. The perfect atomic family. Its makes you feel a little fuzzy inside.

Any who ... I found a few dresses by our designers that can give you that 50's inspired look!

This Vera gown is very similar to the silhouette of Sarah Jessica Parker's Christian Dior gown. The banding in the skirt is a nice subtle detail. The Vera has organza flower appliques on the bodice and a mikado ribbon to add detail.

The top right is a Melissa Sweet gown that has some beautiful draping detail on the bodice, much like Natalie Portman's gown. The bottom left photo is of a Nicole Miller gown that has pretty draping at the bust with an embellished band that peeks from under the chiffon. This style is such a classic. A soft column dress with intricate draping - perfect for any movie star or bride!!!!

I hope this inspires you! There are so many other style in the store that remind me of that 50's look. Stop by any time to take a peek :)

Happy Wedding Planning!
