The Ballerina Bride

1. Dolce&Gabbana Lace Top; 2. Christian Louboutin Pigalle; 3. Simple Bun; 4. Tulle Skirt (or here) 5. L'Agence Wrap Sweater; 6. Protea Bouquet

I have always loved ballerinas.  They are just so elegant.  Puffy tulle skirts, wrap sweaters, tight tops equal simplicity and to me perfection.  This to me is a perfect winter elopement. If you are having a more traditional wedding-perhaps you could put your bridesmaids in colored tulle skirts.  I wish I could have another wedding just to wear a tulle skirt! Plus I love how the skirt can be pulled out for years to come and worn in a million different ways: 1. Cashmere sweater plus tulle skirt and ballet flats- adorable.  2. Tee shirt plus tulle skirt and sneakers, oh so dreamy!  3. Tulle skirt plus a sparkle top and heals- perfect for a holiday party!

The Italian Bride-Alberta Ferretti Bridal


While strolling in Rome, I spotted the Alberta Ferretti bridal shop and was smitten.  The dress in the window from the 2013 collection seemed to call my name.  It was structured and airy, formal and effortless, girly and classic.  I loved it.   I usually don’t love a classic white dress but I was ready to run in and try a few on.  Upon further inspection, all of Alberta Ferretti ‘s bridal collection showcases the body while adding just the right amount of lightness to the dress! If you are looking for a gown, check out this collection- I don’t think you will be disappointed!
