Mornin' Monday. Or good afternoon, really. Sorry for the late post, but I've been biz this morning. With the royal nuptials this coming Friday, I can't help but get a bit swept up in wedding fever. I myself had none of that fever and got married in Vegas in an off the rack dress, but that's not here nor there. (I don't regret it for a second PS).
Regardless of whether Kate wears McQueen or some such high end designer, the world will surely copy whatever dress she is wearing, as knock off artists wait in the wings to get said copy ready in a hot minute for a new generation of royal watchers and brides to be.
I myself have always loved when brides don't wear white or ivory, even. To me, it's all about being a bit different, and since we all know that the virgin thing no longer applies to most of us when we get married, why pretend? And besides, if the saying is "blushing bride" why not go, well "blush" when it comes to a dress? These dresses by Vera Wang are no joke, ladies. No. Joke. Look at the one at the top of this post with the corseted top. It's possibly one of the prettiest I've seen in years (besides you in it, of course). The one right below this is also a favorite, so elegant and effortless.
Take Reese Witherspoon, no hussy by a long shot but hitched for the second time around. Her choice of pinky Monique Lhullier was astoundingly on point- I adored it. And I for one am very much in favor of breaking with tradition and going the nude/rose/taupy route. It's pretty against the complexion, it's soft, and I find it very sexy. Here are a few of my favorite looks- if any of you are going to the chapel soon, you may want to rethink the norm and do something incredibly chic, and that's that. Cause that's what's up this rosy Monday in the MIA. XO
