WIW Down the Aisle:  This Monday I had a total day of Bridal Beauty!!! In the evening I “modeled” for Carol Hannah Whitfield’s stunning Bridal Presentation at the Michael C. Fina Store on 5th Avenue. The event drew press and brides alike and the vibe was so cheerful!

Carol Hannah uses silk for her beautiful dresses. Check them out!!

What I Wore Down the Aisle: Great news! I’ve found the wedding dress of my dreams! I haven’t decided whether or not to share photos of it yet, but I can say that its a strapless ball gown (which is totally opposite of what I thought I wanted!) with a vintage feeling to it.

Because I was aiming for sleeves or a high neck, I’m shopping around for shrugs/boleros on etsy. As with the dress, its important for me to have an overall vintage look.

Bridal Gowns: Justin Alexander A-Line Wedding Dress with High Neck Neckline and Natural Waist Waistline
Not practical for a Labor Day Wedding, but like the high neck!
David’s Bridal - Chiffon soft A-line with fully beaded bodice and sunburst pleated skirt.
Love the pleating!
David’s Bridal - Lace cap-sleeve trumpet gown with keyhole back and heavily beaded sash
This is probably my favorite dress right now!

What I Wore Down the Aisle: This is vintage Priscilla’s of Boston (circa 1950), which my brides will know is a fancy (and beautiful) source for dresses. I would get rid of the sleeves and then this is my dream dress!!

A favorite but a 32 bust!!! Nay going to happen. :(
