Dream Day Style Challenge with Lover.ly

The end of summer if rapidly approaching, but I needed just one more chance to live out a few summer weddings.  Lover.ly approached me to create a style board for their Dream Day Style Challenge, and I started planning a simple rustic wedding.  I love this JCrew dress found through lover.ly . It is elegant,  simple, and best of all affordable. Style the whole look with a beautiful hair piece and a pair of versatile sandals- because we don’t want those spiky heels sinking in the grass.  The whole setting evokes Mid- Summer Night Dream fantasies in me.  Use wildflowers instead of formal flowers and the whole thing will evoke the effortless bohemia I love so much!

The Blank Canvas

I love a great dress, but hate the idea of spending so much money on something to never be worn again.  In comes J.Crew. I love the J.Crew Bridal dresses, as they are essentialy a blank canvas for accessories.
A bridal outfit under $1500.
