I loved the wedding dress that Project Runway designer Kenley Collins made so much that I had to post it! What do you think of the feather silhouette?
I also adore the corresponding bridesmaid dress (even though it’s a little too short for the average person):
Bold colors pop and are making their debut in this year’s fall fashion finds. Here are a few that I love.
These jewel toned accessories are sure to captivate you, your bridesmaids and guests with modern style and charm. Hobo International Dawn clutch wallet in amethyst and Bettye Midler Muller Oxford in raisin and teal, both from Piperlime make a striking statement.
Today’s brides have a lot more options to look gorgeous on their wedding day. Take your hair for example. Do you want long voluptuous locks like Jessica Simpson or Beyonce, but don’t have the length to do it? Well, some brides are wearing hair extensions to achieve the look they want. One bride on Weddingbee recently used extensions and her hair looked gorgeous.Would you do these faux hairdos for your big day?
Check out a couple of examples that impressed us:
1. Looking cute on Jessica Simpson, these hair clips from HairUwear go from day to night. Perfect for that wedding day switcheroo I recently blogged about, they are created by Jessica Simpson and her famous hairstylist Ken Paves.
2. It’s hard to believe, but these bridal up-dos are actually extensions. Extensions.com has a variety of bridal hairstyles with info on ways to do it for your big day!

Yesterday afternoon, my sister’s best friend from high school asked her to be her maid of honor. Already thrilled by the news of her upcoming April wedding, my sister readily accepted and is now gearing up for nine months of maid of honor mayhem.
As she pours over bachelorette party invitations and bridal shower blogs, I can’t help but think that she is the ideal maid of honor–reliable, charming in front of an audience, always willing to host a stylish soiree and still the most flawlessly fashionable person I’ve ever met. Her input will undoubtedly prove invaluable from the flower shop to the bridal boutique, and her wit and charisma make her the perfect bridesmaid leader.
For those of you still searching for a maid of honor, check out The Knot’s list of Maid of Honor Duties while you consider your options. The perfect MOH doesn’t have to be your flighty college roommate or your favorite cousin who lives out of town. Choose someone local who understands your personal style, knows how to handle a crisis and always brings out the best in you, as my sister does with nearly everyone she meets.
