Bridal Gown Inspiration

Wedding planning is in full force right now and the big day will be here all too soon! I thought it would be fun to keep you in the loop as I sort through all of the decisions that have to be made. I could easily talk about this stuff every day, but I promise to keep it to no more than once a week. And what better day than the middle of the week, Wedding Wednesday?

I'm trying on dresses this weekend and I'm pretty torn. I've always thought I would want a big poofy ball gown, but now that it's time to pick out a dress, I'm finding I'm open to a lot more than that. Tea length, mermaid, one shoulder--I want to try them all. Except strapless. Why are so many gowns strapless? I don't want every photo of my wedding day to be me tugging at my dress.

Anyway, I digress...

In honor of this weekend's appointment at the bridal salon, here are just some of the beautiful bridal gowns I've found from across the web.


Love the texture on this dress spotted in Ruche's new bridal collection!



The tulle shoulder detail on this Alvina Valenta gown is super feminine.



I adore all of the little details on this dress. So daring!



The 3D details add a lot of depth to this gown.



The lace edging and the bow make for a really romantic frock.



The one shoulder detail mixed with cascading ruffles is absolutely stunning!


And if you've wondered why posts have been semi scarce for the last couple of weeks, it's because I've been designing and building my wedding site from scratch. It's been an overwhelming, but satisfying project and I hope you can all pop on over to peruse it!

Yay!!! You are going to have soooo much fun! I could easily talk wedding every day too...in fact I do LOL :-) I went to try dresses on for fun this past weekend and it was such a blast, I wasn't 'seriously' shopping yet since my date is so far away, but it was tons of fun playing dress up--I want to do it every day! I hope you find 'the one'!! <3

I loved shopping for my wedding dress... Growing up, it's something I always thought about, but to actually do it is quite the experience! Good luck, and happy hunting!
