Wedding Season

We have been to more weddings in the past year than we have been in the past five years.  And, coming up this June is my brother's wedding.  Whoa!  It's a destination wedding, Park City, Utah, where he and his intended go to ski (she has a condo) and hang out.

I noticed Anthropologie has launched a new wedding line: BHLDN.  That's a bit awkward. But you say it BEHOLDEN.   Well, why didn't they just SAY that..?  The line is officially out there on February 14 (Valentine's Day, in case you are snoozing..) but there are sneak peeks all over the google-machine.  I am rather fond of the one below, mostly because I could totally picture my daughter wearing it.

Price range?? $1000-$4000.

They have some pretty offerings..





I also like this one because it is just so simple.  I could see it at a beach front or backyard wedding, or at a small chapel in the woods.  It is just not trying so hard. And I love the cream color and the eyelet that is reminiscent of an earlier time but with a little twist.. and lovely scalloped hem.  Guess this is would need to fit you properly in terms of length right off the rack because you would not want to alter that beautiful hem.

This is sort of the "stately wedding" dress that I could picture someone of any age wearing.  It has some pomp and circumstance, but without a lot of ... frou frou.  I mean it would work for an uptown large church wedding or a simpler affair as well.





This one is sweet as well.  Love the little pleated organza underskirt that peeks out at the hem.

Also worth checking out is the WHITE by Vera Wang Collection that is going to be sold by the ubiquitous David's Bridal shops as of February 11 (that's today!!)  Even though they have the coveted Vera Wang label (a wedding classic) they will be in the price range of $600 to $1400.  The initial collection will be in size 0-14 with a color range from ivory to champagne and blush.





My brother Dan and his fiance Peg are getting married in June at the Silver Lake Lodge at Deer Valley.

  1. The only thing prettier than those Anthro dresses is that lodge. Have so much fun!
