Wedding Styling!
baitandswitch asked:
I am looking for a boat neck shift dress to get married in. Can you help?
There is nothing I love more than styling up wedding looks. I would get married to Brandon every single day if I could just so I would get to 365 different, beautiful dresses through the whole year.
Obviously I need to channel that dress obsession somewhere, so thank you for asking this question and giving me an excuse to drool over gorgeous gowns!
Since I don’t really know your personal style likes and dislikes, and since I also don’t know your budget, here are a few different options!
I love this. It’s so soft, romantic and casual. Perfect for a backyard, family-only wedding. The key word here is soft: soft makeup, soft hair, soft pastel-colored shoes. This is the kind of wedding look that you think of when you’re dreaming—everything just perfect and natural.

I love how modern this look is, although the dress itself is rather modest and traditional. (But it DOES have pockets, which I love!) The hair is sleek, but romantic with a few flowers, and the shoes are a cheeky nod to something blue (also, similar to the Tiffany’s signature color). This is a classic bridal look that looks good on 99% of the human population.

Another short dress, but this one has a totally different feel. It’s more formal, and the lace is a nice nod to vintage styling, but also to modern lace overlay trends. The shoes are more bare, to show the dress off as much as possible. The entire look is given a great vintage feel with a birdcage veil, fascinator and minimalistic retro-style stud earrings.

This dress just screams classy and elegant. Or whispers it, I should say. The detailing is beautiful, but the overall effect is so sophisticated. It’s also very difficult to find bridal gowns that have sleeves (or sleeves that look good), so this is a goldmine right here if you plan to get married in the winter months. I wanted to play off the slightly stuffy look of the dress by choosing hair, makeup and jewelry looks that are more natural and loose, but do not sacrifice style or class.

This is completely Old Hollywood glam. This is what you wear when you want jaws to drop and gasps to ricochet off every corner of the massive church that you’re getting married in. Bridal looks don’t come more glamourous than this, and there’s really nothing more to add but a pair of fabulous shoes and a movie star updo and you’re good to go.
- La Sposa “Dorothy”, around $1,500 to $3,000
- Lauren Jones “Zandra” Pumps, $109
- Charm & Chain “Navette” Earrings, $55

So, ladies—which look (if any!) would you choose for your wedding day?
