Blogs - wedspace's blog - Posts As if you didn’t have enough things to consider for your wedding day, here’s another one: What to wear when getting ready.
This (gorgeous, glowing) bride has the right idea! Wear something cute that you can pull up and down or zip off so it doesn’t interfere with your hair and makeup. White is classic bridal of course, but be careful because your clothes may end up covered in shimmer and bronzer after the makeup artist is finished.
And REMEMBER, you’re going to be photographed in it, so don’t just throw on any old thing, and make sure it’s not see-through (this just happened at a wedding I attended and you can see the bride’s boobies in all her getting-ready photos, I swear).
Pass on the hotel logo robe, and Juicy sweatsuits are so Britney Spears’ second wedding, so I vote for a sweet dress with an elastic top and maybe a ruffle, like this bride donned, or a simple cotton maxi dress in a jewel tone. Comfy and looks great in photos.
{photo by Simply Bloom} Obviously Zack & Cori are a fantastically creative, think-outside-the-box couple -- I mean, she wore a blue tiered gown -- and I love the beautiful idea they came up with to pledge their love and commitment to marriage and to allow their family to show support. I mean, I LOVE this.
Here's what the couple said:
"We put a bottle of wine, two glasses, and a set of love letters (written in secret and unshared) into a wooden crate and then sealed it with nails (each nail was hammered by a family member to show their commitment to supporting our marriage and then finally by us). The crate is meant as an act of reassurance, a romantic gesture–if ever our relationship is in peril, we are to open the crate, drink the wine, and read the letters before we make any decisions about our future."

  Who says you can’t wear a classic veil with a short dress?!
Traditions are for the bride who wants them, not for everyone. Don't worry about what Aunt Sue or some other guest or family member will think.
This bride not only bucked tradition with a short dress and veil, she wore black shoes and carried a Baby's Breath bouquet! Who would've thought it would have looked so stunning?
And yet her (gorgeous, I might add) groom looked very traditional in his gray wool suit. Love their style!
The moral is: Break the mold, be your own!
Readers have been sending me questions lately, which is wonderful! Message me a question and I may post it!
Erin Nicole asked: My bridesmaids are wearing purple, and I've seen a ton of other brides choosing shades of purple. What are "trendy" wedding colors now? Is there such a thing?
Depends on what season you’re getting married in. I like deep eggplant and black for a winter wedding that’s super sophisticated, or light purple with yellow or cream for spring/summer. I sort of love this Alice in Wonderland-esque purple wedding, too. It’s very moody and fun. I’m thinking purple with moss and artichokes and wood would be amazing and dramatic. I don’t believe anything to be "trendy" when it comes to weddings. I see one style one day and something completely opposite and equally cool the next day. Except mustaches on a stick. Those are trendy and I AM OVER IT.

Welcome back to the WedSpace blog ... Sorry it's been so long!
There's no better way to say hello & welcome to 2010 than to tell you about one of my most favorite vendors and Etsy sellers, b.poetic.
You may have seen b.poetic's beautiful handmade rosette pins, shoe clips, belts and hairpieces featured on blogs like StyleMePretty or Jessica Claire's fabulous photo workshop.
A b.poetic piece, made from vintage fabrics, can transform a simple dress or pair of shoes into stunning ... here are some favorites! {Visit their Etsy store, blog and lookbook HERE}
Sweet shoe clips make a simple pair of heels drop-dead gorgeous and lavish looking without spending a fortune.
 How about a cute headpiece with big, bright blooms? Ask for a custom color ...
 I love these colorful flower pins, cluster a few together for a beautiful "bouquet"
 These cloth banners are new and fabulous! Jessica Claire used them over the cake table in her workshop and they were just perfect.
 Isn't this the cutest thing?! This sweet guy had a photog capture his proposal. What do you guys think of this idea? Would you spend the extra cash to have a professional shoot your engagement? Could make for some great memories ...
I love how his girl jumps into his lap!
  Love this!! A personalized hanger, by Lila Frances. It's the little things that make weddings so fun!
{via OnceWed} If my fairy godmother appeared right now, I'd ask for this incredible gown and one of these two insanely beautiful necklaces from the 2010 Vera Wang Collection.
The Moonstone Necklace gives a a tough and glam edge and the Rose Necklace is so sparkly and gorgeous. Both $650 from Neiman Marcus. Which do you like?
   Did you know WedSpace also has a Tumblr?
It's a short-form blog where we post beautiful photos and inspiration not always seen here on our main blog.
Go check it out! wedspace.tumblr.com
Beautiful, simple idea of the day: Personalized decor that your guests will all stop to admire. String twine or ribbon between pillars or trees, then clothespin postcards from your favorite vacations or classic family photos or pictures of you as a couple.
