Today, I'm beyond excited to share my latest work with Lover.ly - the ultimate wedding planning search engine. For those of you who aren't familiar with Lover.ly - it's basically a dream come true for any bride! Lover.ly is a one-stop-shop wedding planning where brides and grooms find new ideas, people to hire and oodles of things to buy.
To quickly clarify things: no, I'm not getting married anytime soon (not that I know of... haha) BUT when Lover.ly and I both got to talking, we faced the facts -- let's be real, every girl already has some sort of "dream wedding" pinterest board.... am I right? So of course, when they asked me to take part in their "Set the Scene" challenge, I said yes!
Challenge: Create a dream wedding look for a specific themed venue.
Beach affair, city glam or rustic chic - which did I choose? Rustic Chic. Yes, yes, I know... a lot of my friends would quickly dub me to pick city glam. But for some reason, I love how rustic chic is more simple, romantic and intimate.
Challenge Accepted!
See below for my take on the rustic chic "dream wedding look"!
Since I have tendencies to add glitter to everything... going for a romantic, rustic setting required me to hold back from the glam Vera Wang ball gown. BUT in a weird way, I actually didn't mind at all. Personally, I don't see layers of tulle as a look I'd like for a wedding. I've always envisioned either a sleek satin mermaid fit or the simplicity of a silk empire waist gown. For some reason - simple is just better to me.
As such, when I spotted this beautiful BHLDN Odessa gown - I just knew it was perfect for that rustic chic look. A simple silhouette, but with a gorgeous lace open back - I fell in love with it. It has a sweet, romantic style with just the right amount of intricate detail in the lace but without overwhelming embellishments.
For the headpiece - I considered a non traditional look - such as the vintage clip (above) as well as this birdcage veil. Then last but not least... I certainly had to add some sparkle to the mix - hence the touch of bling on the beautiful Kate Spade D'Orsay heels, the box clutch and pave drop down earrings.
What's your dream wedding style?
Would you do it all big and glam or go for more a simple, romantic look?
