WHITE DRESS BRIDE - SHELBY DAVIS LAROUSSE

Nothing helps cure the mid-week blues like a beautiful bride on her special day. Luckily for us, we have Shelby Davis Larousse to help get us to the weekend with these gorgeous photos from her October wedding. 

Shelby and her husband, Trey, are obviously so in love and they looked so happy to be joining their lives together. 

Shelby's lace dress from Justin Alexander was perfect for her rustic barn wedding. Just look at this back:

GORGEOUS! Shelby was such a beautiful bride. Thank you for allowing us to be a small part of your very big day!

PERFECTLY PRETTY PROPOSAL PHOTOS

Nothing beats a perfect proposal. Whether it's simple and intimate or showstopping and spectacular, it's the starting point for two people's lives coming together and that's beautiful.

BRIDES Magazine has collected some beautiful photos of the moment the question is popped. Take a look at some of our favorites below and see the whole collection HERE.

BRIDESMAIDS QUIZZES

It's Friday! Maybe you've had a long, hard, and stressful week. Hopefully your week was full of cupcakes and rainbows and all things wonderful. Probably, it was somewhere in between. But, the week is coming to a close and sometimes you just need to do something that doesn't have much of a point, but is still kind of fun. Enter internet quizzes!

We've all taken them. We all know they can be kind of silly and pointless. But we also know they can be a fun way to pass some time and sometimes reveal deep truths about ourselves. Ok, probably not so much that last one, but you never know what you might learn!

In honor of our November promotion wherein you can get one FREE bridesmaids dress (up to $280) with the purchase of any regularly priced wedding gown, we've gathered some internet quizzes with a bridesmaids theme. So, if you need to let off some steam or take your mind off of wedding planning or anything else, we hope the list below will provide you with some ease of mind, respite, or at the very least a small chuckle or two.

WHITE DRESS BRIDE - JULI LESTINA PLANK

There is nothing like a beautiful bride in a beautiful dress on a beautiful summer's day... case in point, Juli.

Juli and Quintin were married this past July and Bentonville, AR, and it could not be more clear how in love and happy these two are. I mean, just take a look...

💓💕💓💕💓💕💓💕💓💕💓💕💓💕💓💕💓💕💓 swoon...

Juli looked stunning in her lace dress from Allure. We love the cut of that neckline on her! It cuts in just enough to show off her shoulders and the lace detail is just gorgeous. She was a statuesque picture of beauty and elegance on her big day!

To these awesome newlyweds we say congratulations and thank you for allowing us to be a small part of your very special day!

100 YEARS OF WEDDING DRESSES

If you follow us on social media (and if not, what are you waiting for?), then you know we love a good #ThrowbackThursday post. It's so fun and interesting to see what weddings and brides looked like in years past. Lucky for us, BRIDES magazine has put together a fun video that covers 100 years of wedding dresses. Watch below and comment on which era's gowns you love the most. Happy #TBT everyone!

 

WHITE DRESS BRIDE - NAWON LOSLI

This may sound a little odd, but bear with me... You know those older couples you see walking and holding hands that you know are just as in love with each other as they were when they first fell for each other? Well, I have a feeling that Nawon and her husband, Cole will be that older couple in about 50 years. 

See what I mean? You can almost feel the love between these two.

Nawon was so sweet and charming and a pleasure to work with. We love the Justin Alexander gown she ended up with and the lace jacket she chose is the perfect compliment!

You looked absolutely stunning on your big day, Nawon! Thank you for letting us play a small part in such an important time of your life.

Congratulations to Nawon and Cole! We hope your lives are full of love and happiness and we'll be watching for you strolling along together in 50 years or so - just as in love as you are in these photos. 

WHITE DRESS BRIDE - CASLER DALATI

If you are getting married, why not do it in one of the most beautiful places on earth? That's what Casler Dalati (nee Champlin) and her husband, Jebreel decided to do when they were married in Honolulu, Hawaii this past April.

Casler chose a beautiful lace Enzoani fit and flare gown for her big day and she looked simply gorgeous!

These two look like they were just meant to be. You can just see their joy and the love they have for each other. Swoon! And that scenery - it makes us want to jump on a plane and head for the islands!

All photos courtesy of Casler Dalati

Congratulations Casler and Jebreel! We wish you both a lifetime of happiness together and feel honored to have been able to play a small part in your special day. 

WHITE DRESS BRIDE - MORGAN MCCLOY PARRY

We are so privileged to work with beautiful women - inside and out - to help them find the perfect dress for their big day. The dresses in our store just accentuate the beauty that is already there. One such beautiful woman is Morgan. She looked so gorgeous on her wedding day this past November, we can't get over it! See for yourself:

SO STUNNING! Morgan's Kenneth Winston lace gown was elegant and timeless and the illusion back made this dress beautiful from all angles.

And just check out these shoes!

As beautiful as Morgan's wedding dress was, it paled in comparison to how beautiful the love emanating between Morgan and her groom Craig was on their big day. Just look at these two:

13 THINGS BOUND TO HAPPEN ON YOUR WEDDING DAY

1. You won't eat much.
    Nerves, getting ready, chatting with guests... other things will more than likely take priority.

2. Something will go wrong...
    It's inevitable. Don't fight it. Just prepare as much as possible and take it as it comes. 

3. ...But you won't really care.
    You have more important things to focus on... like marrying the love of your life.

4. You will be nervous...
    Some anxious butterflies are to be expected.

5. ... But also strangely calm.
    Just relax as much as possible and enjoy the day.

6. You'll secretly love the attention.
    It's your day - enjoy. Have your Beyonce moment. 

7. Tears will flow.
    Maybe you'll cry, or your spouse, or your parents, or the officiant... someone will cry.

8. Your cheeks will hurt.
    All the smiling will take it's toll, but it's worth it.

9. At some point, it will hit you that you have a husband/wife now.
    Super weird and super awesome.

10. You'll have a blast. 
      Enjoy. Live it up. Bask in the wedding glory.

11. The day will fly by.
      It will seem to move at the speed of light.

12. You'll be glad, but also quite sad it's all over. 
      You're relieved to be free from all the planning, but will strangely miss it all. 

13. You'll be married!

      Congratulations!

WEDDING TREND TUESDAY - DUSTY ROSE

Choosing your wedding colors can be a daunting task. You want to reflect your personal style and tastes while also encompassing the theme or ideas you have for your big day. Sometimes it can be helpful to start with a neutral and blend accent colors that you love. Enter Dusty Rose....

Brit + Co

One of the hottest colors of 2017, dusty rose is like rose gold's non-metallic cousin. This muted pink shade is a great neutral and can be paired with jewel tones like navy and emerald or with softer colors like blues and grays. It also is a very flattering color on many skin tones, so would be a fantastic choice for your bridesmaids. 

Sorella Vita

Wildflower Linens

Bows -n- Ties

Green Villa Barn & Gardens

This lovely, soft hue would be perfect for a vintage wedding, a rustic wedding, or a more elegant soiree. It really is a perfect option for a lot of brides. Would you consider adding dusty rose to your wedding color palette?
