Handpicked | Ruche Bridal Collection

It's no secret that I'm in love with Ruche, so when they recently released their own Bridal Collection my heart did a little flip!!  One peek at their To Have and To Hold Lookbook and I was in total love :o)  So I dove in to the collection and Handpicked my nine favorite pieces (what a rough life I lead, lol!).  Enjoy!

1)  Audrey - $249.99 - The perfect vintage silhouette!
2)  Hydrangea Dress - $145.99 - I would kill to wear this as a bridesmaid dress :o)
3)  Rose Pale Pink Dress - $58.99 - Simple, yet elegant - love it!
4)  Forever Fancy Rosette Bolero - $76.99 - I must find a way to incorporate this into my own non-wedding wardrobe, lol!
5)  Exquisite Adornment Clutch - $54.99 - The mint tone of this is fantastic!
6)  True Adulation Pearl Gloves - $24.99 - These would be the perfect addition to the Audrey. . .
7)  Just Because Heels - $99.99 - . . . as would these ;o)
8)  Ever Thine Taupe Fascinator - $42.99 - Heavenly!!
9)  Love You Open Toe Heels - $49.99 - I need to own these shoes, ASAP!

Another little bonus to add to this already amazing thing - Ruche also released the most fabulous Wedding Bliss Guide full of great tips, advice and DIYs!!!  The Bridesmaid Styling Tips are my favorite - I would love to see an ombré bridesmaid ensemble :o)

Wedding Wednesday | Vera Wang's Spring 2012 Bridal Collection

The time for Vera Wang to continue to amaze us is here!  Her newly released Spring 2012 Bridal Collection is full of volume, bows, lace and ruffles. Here are just a few of my favorites.

Hannah

Strapless natural-waist ballerina ballgown with veiled layers of degrade 

floral laser-cut organza and detachable trapunto-stitched bustier.

This is actually my absolute favorite, it looks elegant and fun at 

the same time... even comfortable!

Hayden

Strapless sweetheart soft mermaid gown with draped bodice of sunburst 

pleating and cascading fan back train. I think this gown would look great 

with a simple off white veil, to give a little bit of brightness contrast.

Hazel

Strapless sweetheart natural-waist ballerina ballgown with sunburst pleating

 and tiered confection skirt. The fullness of the gown is gorgeous!

Hilary

Strapless mermaid gown with full-length floating textured lace appliques and 

sunburst pleated back under-train with floating organza sprig embroidery. 

The lace is beautiful, I love that it gradually becomes less towards the bottom.

Holly

Strapless mermaid gown with piped and pin-tucked drop-waist corset 

with voluminous organza petal skirt with floating sprig embroidery.

Beautiful voluminous bottom!
