Sweets for the Sweet! Feb. 12
wedding row wednesday~ Boudior Shoots
Beneath the Gown, wedding row member and our counterpart at The White Dress by the shore provided all of the stunning lingerie in these images. This is THE place to go to get yourself outfitted for your boudoir shoot.
So pretty on Style Me Pretty~Our Ocean House Shoot!
In the words of Candice Coppola, the co-creator of Collaborate and Create and founder of Juliee Events, ”We designed this shoot to be rich in color and slightly quirky. There are a lot of textures and patterns and they all work really well together. Sometimes people get scared of mixing patterns and textures and instead, stick to a very generic formula of matching colors and fabrics. In some instances, that look can be wonderful– but with most designs, I really encourage you to embrace texture, color, and patterns. It will make your look three dimensional and more interesting!”
“We set up a beautiful table scape, which has become one of my all time favorites, with mix-matched china (some vintage, some rental), vintage silverware, hanging mirrors, vintage and rental linens, and an AMAZING centerpiece chandelier that hung above the table (with a little help from our team!).”
The fashion inspiration for the shoot was really quirky, preppy. We love the pop of Tiffany Blue incorporated in the accessories and the quirky tuxedo detail on the Amy Kuschel gown. It was an interesting contrast to the very casual seersucker vest and pants and fun patterned tie!
This shoot was debuted on Style Me Pretty last week in a lovely feature. Be sure to check it out for even more fabulous images.
Graduation Dresses
At The White Dress by the shore, we believe that all women in white should feel special! That is why we offer a lovely customizable collection of graduation dresses for those young women who are entering into a new phase of their life! We know that June seems a long way off, but as everything that we do is special order, we are now taking orders for graduation dresses!
Maria Elena Trunk Show!
As you may have read in our previous blog post we recently had the opportunity to style the editorial spread for the latest issue of Connecticut Bride. In reviewing the behind the scenes shots from the shoot, I came across these incredible images of pieces from Maria Elena’s last collection of accessories. We are so thrilled that we will have these pieces and many others in our store this Thursday – Saturday for a trunk show (January 27th – 29th). We are offering 10% off your first Maria Elena bauble and 15% off any additional piece of equal or lesser value!

the royal wedding gown predictions
It is officially 101 days until the royal wedding and the big question, is what will Kate Middleton wear? I was recently asked by the editor of The Feast Connecticut to comment on what the future princess Katherine should select for her wedding attire. Here are my thoughts:
“The entire bridal industry is on pins and needles to see what Kate selects to wear ! It is so exciting to anticipate the trends that will be ignited by her selection. Kate’s style is simple and understated and her wedding gown needs to reflect that. I think that her gown should be long sleeved with a touch of lace incorporated into it. She has a stunning figure, so a fit to flare silhouette with a long train would be striking on her. A long veil with a blusher would be the perfect accompaniment to her gown, along with the requisite tiara. Ideally Kate will select a simple, yet elegant tiara that she will wear more as a headband than a tiara.”
