My apologies for the long delay since my last weekly wedding post. I've been under the weather and miserable in the nearly 100 degree weather. Anyways, I'm ready to jump back into fantasy wedding planning with a cool blue and silver winter wedding. I want this wedding to be elegant and timeless, but also simple and understated. No huge princess ballgowns here, just classic beauty that takes inspiration from ice and snow in the outdoor landscape.
I love the one shoulder design of this dress! It's more unique than the run of the mill strapless wedding dresses (nothing against strapless, I wore one for my wedding, I just wanted a more unique look here). The fabric of this dress looks elegant and the hint of sparkle is perfect for the winter wonderland inspiration. I would pair this dress with some simple but elegant crystal jewelry, a polished low updo, and blue shoes to match the blue of her bouquet and bridesmaids dresses.
Once again, I think a mixture of bridesmaids dresses in different styles but the same color and fabric looks more natural and stylish than having each woman in the same dress. It allows each bridesmaid to find a dress that fits her the best and I think will end up looking less "dated" in photographs.
Each bridesmaid would wear simple crystal jewelry and silver shoes. To add a bit of continuity throughout the wedding party, all the bridesmaids could wear matching jewelry and shoes. These dresses are all from the same line at David's Bridal in satin and the color is marine.
For music, a local university string quartet would provide a beautiful ambiance for a reasonable price, and would play an array of classical pieces for the prelude, ceremony, cocktail hour. The bridal party bouquets would be a small to medium sized bundle of blue and white flowers, while the bride herself would have a slightly larger and more complex bouquet interspersed with glittering brooches.
* I realize that the spacing on this post is weird, and I apologize for that. I may try doing picture collages instead of the individual item pictures in the future, and then just list the links separately. For the sake of saving space, check out the rest of my ideas for this wedding at
