J. Mendel Dresses

Ever since I saw these J. Mendel dresses on Green Wedding Shoes, I couldn't get them off my mind. The are super feminine and flirty. They remind me of cotton candy, or those spun sugar creations that bakers put on cakes. Needless to say, they're so sweet, I just want to eat them up!

Each one would be wonderfully delicious for anything wedding related. I would love to see a bold, fearless bride rock the short sequin dress with the fur coat as a wedding gown. How decadent, and unique!

I had to throw in a suit, for the very modern bride!

Etsy Love - Hats by yellowfield (Behida Dolić)

These beautifully draped cloche hats inspired by the 20's and 30's are wonderful for adding a touch of elegance, authenticity, or style to a themed wedding, engagement or rehearsal dinner. I would wear these hats everywhere! So feminine and stylish.

From Etsy, Behida Dolić (yellowfield7) was born in a small village in northern Bosnia in 1982. Due to the dreadful Balkan wars in the 1990s, Behida, along with one of her sisters and her brother, left Bosnia with many other refugees. She studied fine art & conservation for two years in Florence, Italy. It was during this time that Behida first encountered & fell in love with early 20th Century American fashion, and began making hand-draped cloche hats. In 2003 she moved to San Francisco to earn her BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. She currently lives in Oakland and hopes to open her own shop soon.

Wouldn't you just love to have a vintage photo shoot in these hats?!? Swoon ♥

I ♥ Betty Valentine

I love these party dresses by Betty Valentine as fun, completely wearable beyond the wedding day bridesmaid dresses. Or perhaps a rehearsal dinner, engagement, or reception dress? The possibilities are endless!

From her site, "Betty Valentine's world is one laden with dreams and nostalgia, a place where youthful urgency and rapture reverberate through endless nights like intoxicating music. She hopes to stir the feelings of adolescent anticipation that sleep in your heart."
