Did you hear? The BHLDN's winter gown collection is now available. Not so sure how I feel about their gowns though. I do love the first one that I showcase below - it's absolutely stunning and perfect for holiday weddings. I'm loving the metallic embroidery. What do you think? Would you wear a non-white gown?

Fairy Story / $3,000

Now, for the gowns that left me thinking . . . Maybe it's just me, but this one doesn't quite seem to be appropriate for a wedding gown. I know it has a lining in it - but it appears to nude revealing which wouldn't fly if marrying in a church. Of course, there's no denying that the lace is gorgeous.

Esprit de Corps / $2,200

And, now for one more - you can see the entire winter gown collection here. While this one is beautiful for a 2nd dress to wear during the reception, I personally think it might be a little too short. I'd be afraid of bending over in it and giving my guests a show LOL.

Dainty Diversion Mini / $600

Now I open it up to you - what do you think of the new BHLDN gown collection? It seems obvious to me that these gowns were designed for the slender bride only which is a bit disappointing. The sizes do go from 0-14, but wouldn't it be great to actually see wedding dresses on say maybe 3 different sized models?

Simply Bridal has an amazing concept and it's perfect for brides looking for something that is just for them. At Simply Bridal you will work with an experienced seamstress that is dedicated to their work and they will make you the wedding dress of your dreams. You will receive a handmade dress that is created just for you with your measurements in the fabric you've chosen. Right now, I happen to be a huge fan of ruffles so I am loving the first dress below. Which is your favorite?

On the Simply Bridal web site, you will be able to browse through the collections using the categories of fabric, silhouette, neckline and more. Do you prefer silk or lace? You can simply start clicking to find the wedding gown you've always wanted. I love how Simply Bridal words this, so I'm going to leave this in their words . . . "We provide ethereal, classic and fashion-forward gowns that will match your body and personality. We keep our prices low, so that every bride can afford the dress of her dreams."

When shopping at Simply Bridal, you will know exactly what your dress will cost, and they will even ship it to you for free. And, right now you can save 10% with coupon code BRIDAL at checkout.

And, lastly, I'll leave you with a full size photo of another favorite of mine so you can see all the detail and the lovely beading around the waist. This particular dress is $279.99 and many of the others I showcased are either a bit less or a little more, but I didn't see any over $400.

I can still remember the first time I got my first glimpse of the wedding world and it was long before I ever knew my career path would lead me into the wedding world. I was standing on Boylston St. in Boston and glanced up to see the beautiful display of wedding dresses in the window of the Priscilla of Boston signature salon. I was in awe.

Today I'm sharing with you some of the many gorgeous wedding dresses by Priscilla of Boston that are made from the finest imported laces, beading and natural fabrics. Each season brings fresh wedding dress creations of timeless elegance, chic sophistication or something a bit more on the whimsical side. Prices range from $1,200 to $5,000+ which makes it easy to find a dress that is uniquely you and within your budget.

Along with designer wedding dresses, Priscilla of Boston also offers the couture fit which allows you to have your gown handcrafted to your exact measurements. And, if you desire, you can even have your gown recreated in muslin {a thin cotton} for the first fitting {this is the traditional way design houses have done fittings for centuries}. After you've approved the muslin version, the artisans at Priscilla of Boston will begin creating your very own unique wedding gown. And, if you're wondering what the advantage to muslin is . . . it helps keep alteration costs to a minimum because the dress is made precisely for your body.

The Limited has just announced the introduction of their Wedding and Events Collection - featuring bridal and bridesmaids dresses. And, from now thru June 21st, you can save 30% off all dresses.
