DOTW: Impressions Syle #2992
Posted by Crystal in Bridal Gowns & Accessories
Dress Of The Week is a weekly feature where we highlight a designer gown that we LOVE and that you can buy for under $500.

This week’s dress is a GORGEOUS chiffon Impressions gown. I love the fitted silhouette and the empire waistline accents. Definitely a hot dress – sophisticated but still sexy and yet – still romantic! This dress retails for $765 and is available from <a href=”http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=108288&u=141476&m=15688&urllink=&afftrack=”>House of Brides</a> for $459!
DOTW: Bari Jay 69934

Dress Of The Week is a weekly feature where we highlight a designer gown that we LOVE and that you can buy for under $500.

For this week’s Dress Of The Week I picked a fantastic gown from Bari Jay (Style #69934). It’s a very unique style with a lot of detailing from the ruffled bodice with rosettes to the tiered mermaid skirt. I know this particular style won’t be for everyone – but I love it. I also love that you get all that detail with a dress that retails for less then $400 and you can get it on sale for $280 from TJ Formals.
My DIY Bridal Hair
Posted by Crystal in Bridal Style, DIY Weddings, Real Weddings
One of the things that we did to save money when we renewed our vows last year was to do our own hair/makeup. To be honest – I prefer to do my own makeup so it wasn’t much of a sacrifice lol. For my hair, I picked a style that I knew I could accomplish myself. I choose this style because it was simple and sophisticated and could easily be dressed up with a little bling. The hair is blow dried over a round brush and back combed to to create a somewhat vintage look. The headpiece that I used cost me about $10. I bought the hair clip from Etsy and the satin ribbon from a local dollar store and then created it myself.

If you’re thinking about doing your own hair – my advice is this:
- Pick a style that you can handle, that makes sense for your hair
- Practice! I actually wore my hair in a similar style for a few events earlier that year just so I could be sure that I could make it look like I wanted and that it would stay all day long.
Martha Stewart has a feature in her Summer 2010 issue showcasing these DIY styles with photo instructions that might be inspirational as well.

DOTW from the Divine Collection
Posted by Crystal in Bridal Gowns & Accessories

This week’s Dress of the Week comes for the Divine Collection (Style D602) from Elegant Gowns. I love the detailing on this dress – from the tiered ruffled skirt to the lace accent bodice and the floral accent. It’s a gorgeous, unique design but still romantic and feminine. Oh – and did I mention it’s $399? Not kidding! LOVE LOVE LOVE this one. This gown is considered an informal style because it does not have a train but Elegant Gowns does offer customization on many of their styles so you may be able to have a train added if you prefer a more formal look.

The Real Deal #26
Posted by Crystal in Bridal Gowns & Accessories, The Real Deal
I haven’t done a real deal post recently but today I found two gowns that I wanted to share:) Both of these gowns are fantastic deals – take a look!

This dress is being offered for $75 – it is used and needs to be dry cleaned but for $75, even after dry cleaning it’s a great deal! It’s a size 14 with a train that bustles and a tie back and includes a garment bag. Check out more pictures of this great wedding dress here.

Okay, this one is a little more expensive at $400 – but it’s brand new. The seller purchased it 6 months ago and never wore it. It’s a size 4 and has amazing embroidered detail on the bodice and skirt. There are more pictures of the dress and embroidery details here.
Camo Wedding Pumps from Wild Diva
Posted by Crystal in Bridal Style, Camouflage Wedding
Back in 2008 we tackled a question from a bride looking for ideas to create a camo themed wedding that was unique and yet still tasteful. The Camo Wedding post has been our most popular post since then – and still gets more traffic then any other individual post on our blog! I guess it’s a hot topic lol. Personally – I LOVE the camo theme idea – provided it’s done right.
Today I am MADLY in love with these shoes:

This week’s Dress Of The Week comes for the Voyage collection by Mori Lee. I absolutely love the detailing on the bodice of this dress – it’s simple, understated and so elegant! The chiffon fabric gives it a light, flowing feel which is perfect for a spring or summer wedding. While this dress retails for $599 – we found it on House of Brides for only $398.
