Save|Spend|Splurge: Oscars Edition

As we mentioned before, we love awards season and the bridal fashion it inspires. So I thought we'd play a little game I like to call, Save|Spend|Splurge, with some of our favorite Oscar fashion trends from this past weekend. For each trend we hunted down 3 possible options in varied price ranges so you can bring red carpet style to your big day no matter the budget.

Peplum

A trend I was unsure of at first, peplum's flirty charms have grown on me and we should all get used to it by now as it's shown up and been reinvented on the runway for several seasons now. On Sunday night, Jennifer Lawrence [Dior] and Julia Roberts [Givenchy] rocked this feminine silhouette that is also perfect for a fashion-forward bride.

Golden Moment

The newest trends for Fall 2014 were showcased this month at New York Fashion Week and gold certainly had a moment on the runway.

The gold embellishments, embroidery and silk fabrics are what wedding dreams are made of. In the future it would be great to see more gold embellishments on bridal gowns and ways of infusing gold into event decor without going full on sparkly or metallic [future post?!]. What do you think of all this gold?

We would love to hear your thoughts & any other favorite trends from NYFW.

Psssst, we're throwing a golden affair over on Pinterest - come see!

TFF Quick-Tips: Trying on Wedding Dresses

This week on The Friday Five we're offering up 5 quick-tips so you can get on with your weekend! This week's quick-tips you can take along with you when you're trying on wedding dresses.

1. Bring a short bathrobe to the bridal salon.
Because it makes the time between dress changes more comfortable

2. Don’t try on wedding dresses that you cannot afford. 
Because there's nothing worse than lusting after something you can't have 

3. Be open-minded. Try on at least one style you wouldn't normally go for.
Because the vision in your head might not include the best dress for your shape

4. Limit the amount of people you bring along.
Because a few opinions are nice but too many can ruin the mood or make you second guess your instincts 

5. Try to go in with a clear vision of your event's style and major details.
Because the attire is affected by things like location, season and time of day

TFF: Friday Favorites

It's favorites time on the The Friday Five.

When I saw a pin of the cake-topper pictured below in my Pinterest feed earlier this week it definitely put me in a whimsical mood, not to mention every song played at my wedding ceremony was a Beatles song. I walked down the aisle to an acoustic guitarist playing John Lennon's Real Love, so let's just say this was right up my ally. Here are 5 favorites that inspired me this week with a whimsy-Beatles-inspired twist...

Speaking of whimsy, any Chicagoans attending Indie Wed tomorrow?! 

It's such a unique event and tons of our favorite wedding vendors will be there.

Happy Weekend!
