How to Dress Up a Simple Wedding Dress!

     The thought of buying a simple wedding gown used off Ebay or even brand new, is enough to some brides cringe; but let's face it, sometimes options grow more narrow and we're forced to explore all our options.

I want to open your minds and maybe spark some creativity in today's modern bride. We live in a new era for weddings, because the rules of tradition and etiquette have come face-to-face with today's rebellious DIY brides. These rebellious brides have off-set the rules and opened our minds to new possibilities - making the way for brides who wish to show-off their creativity!

Today I want to show you a very simple gown that I actually found on Ebay recently. This gown is going for $119. Honestly, would YOU buy it? Could you envision wearing this for your wedding day?



Well, what if I told you this gown was designed by J. Crew? Suddenly a light bulb goes off in your head, "Hey, that's a good designer with quality clothes!" What if I gave your some details?


"Crafted of floaty silk chiffon with a delicate crinkled texture, it features a fitted crossover bodice with shirring at the shoulders and bust and a flattering wide waistband. "

Oooo! Now, allow me to show you an actual picture from the designer:

SOPHIA: This gown is currently on clearance for $298 on J.Crew 

If you're not quite convinced, let's explore a few more options.


What if we added some more sparkle?
 

some vintage class?


Or pure romance - showing off your girly side?



It's amazing what a few embellishments will do to an outfit - or a wedding gown! So, before you close the door on simplicity, stretch the imagination.

Blush in the Nude - Inspiration boards

Through the pages of fashion, my inspiration was awakened by the simplicity of blush and nude colors for this up-coming spring season. 

For the fashion-forward bride, keep your eyes open for sheer fabrics, peek-a-boos with lace and slits, ballerina styles, new necklines, and sleeves! Thank you, Sarah Burton, for bringing this timeless classic back!


White has runaway into the history pages and has been replaced with sheer elegance.
