Starting today and throughout this month I will be sharing with you the new collections of wedding gowns from some of the top designers. To start, I wanted to share with you the Fall 2014 collection from South African designer, Sarah Janks. This collection was inspired by the flower for which it is named and "utilizes delicate laces, beading, and floral appliqués to effortlessly portray femininity and poise. The delicate juxtaposition of materials creates a collection with a sophisticated yet whimsical aesthetic. Sarah Janks, known for her beautiful body-hugging silhouettes, continues to impress this season with the romantic Forget Me Not collection." Since this collection was inspired by Forget Me Nots, I just have to share the forget me not wedding invitation and forget me not place cards I created for a vintage inspired floral wedding stylized shoot last year that featured these pretty little blue flowers.

BHLDN Weddings has just launched their Spring II Wedding Gown Collection for Spring 2014. My Oh My ... the gowns are stunning! And, the details are breathtaking. What do you think? Do you have a favorite? Here's a few of my top picks from the new BHLDN Weddings collection. It's hard for me to decide but the Emma gown is likely my favorite with it's beautiful and subtle gradient, a pale ombré pattern. This gown was inspired by the blossoms of the Japanese cherry tree and each lasercut petal is hand-appliqued with a glass bead to the airy tulle. It's gorgeous.

Happy Friday! Hoping those of you that have a 3 day weekend have some wonderful plans. I'll have a brand new post up on Monday, but since it's my hubby's birthday that day and our daughter is home from school and he's home from work, I think I might just have to take the day off as well to celebrate :)

But, before the weekend begins, I have an elegant way to end the work week as I introduce you to an affordable luxury line of dresses that feature timeless shapes to flatter all body types. Rickie Freeman is a woman owned business and has been designing beautiful feminine dresses for over 35 years. She understands how to flatter a figure and many of her Teri Jon dresses range in sizes from 2 thru 18. She designs quality dresses that are made to fit real women and make them feel and look BEAUTIFUL! You will find dress choices for the mother of the bride, sister of the bride, second weddings, as well as dresses for the rehearsal dinner, and bridal shower - even wedding gowns for the bride herself. Below is just a sampling of the many dress choices you will find in the Teri Jon online shop.

BHLDN Weddings has just revealed their Wedding Gown Collection for Spring 2014. And, oh my are the gowns gorgeous! There's even a short dress for $300 that would be perfect for a beach wedding or even a special "reception" dress. What do you think of these gowns? Aren't the backs stunning on the Onyx and Tia gowns? Here's a few of my favorites from the new BHLDN Weddings collection. What I love about the BHLDN site is how they show you the gowns with coordinating accessories including pretty sashes that add the perfect finishing touch for the waist. I'm also loving their shoes too.
