Last Thursday's episode of Grey's Anatomy was a tear jerker. Izzy's was an epitome of a modern bride. She was sexy yet elegant. It was perfect! Today, brides opt for those type of bridal gowns. Gone are the days when brides are drowning in tulle and organza. When I styled one of my friends wedding party last summer, I picked a Grecian inspired dress, simple up-do and vintage jewelry. She looked like a goddess on the beach where the wedding was held.
I always get asked the question, how much should the bride spend on her bridal gown. I say, if you have the budget go for the one that gives you butterflies. If not, there are a lot of reasonably priced pieces out there. Or if you've seen one that you totally fell in love with at first sight but its out of your budget, go take a photo to your seamstress and have it replicated. Pick a bridal gown that you would cherish and perhaps pass to your daughter when it is her time to say 'I do'.
My fabulous friend, T.V. Personality and Celebrity Stylist Daisy Lewellyn is currently casting a bridal segment for a T.V. show! She is looking for real women models, aspiring actresses, brides to be or post-brides living in the L.A. area that are at least 5'8" in height that wears size 4, 6 and 8. If this is you, email casting@daisylewellyn.com with your dress size, measurements height, photo, and contact info. Must be avail 5/13 (time tbd) and 5/14 from 6a-10a.

Bridesmaid dresses come in such a variety of colors and styles that shopping for a modern wedding dress may lead you to the Bridesmaid section of the wedding boutique. These choices are stylish, have the variety of lengths, and provide the Bride-to-be with a choice of almost any color. As an extra bonus, the cost of the dresses in this section are much less than the Bridal dresses.
