and the bride wore plaid

Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love a good pattern. It should be no surprise that I am completely and totally obsessed with this unique elopement I spotted on A Cup of Joe. The brides plaid dress was a replica of a Ralph Lauren number she loved! How very cool.
How happy does this couple look!

For those looking to elope- read over to this brides advise here: A Cup of Joe. She has some wonderful pointers.

and the bride wore magenta

I saw this dress and nearly squealed.  I had a vision of a bride in it.  I don't really know what appealed to me about it, I think it was the color, but to me it screams winter wedding in a city. With simple everything, I think it would be to die for.   I love how the cut is super classic, but the colors are off beat.  For the right person- this dress would be a moment!

The use it again dress

I am personally not a fan of the wear it once dress.  It seems silly to spend so much money on something that you can never really wear again. However as with all things, if your dream is a white gown, then by all means go for it, but if it isn't here is a more practical option.

Meet twobirds, a company specializing in the buy one dress- tie it 12 different ways.  With a rainbow of colors to choose from, and a price point of $310- I am beyond a fan.  I love how you could jazz it up with shoes and earrings.  Wear it to your wedding crisscrossed, and then go for a halter to another event, dress it down strapless style in the summer for a maxi look. Versatility is the name of the game.

I also love how this company will send you a sample, so you can make sure the look is flattering, before you commit, as it doesn't seem to offer much support!

I might pick up one for myself in black!
