I DO:: WITH A LITTLE FLARE

I love wedding dresses. I could wear something sparkly and fabulous everyday, IF people didn't look at me like I was crazy. :) However, I'm more interested in the unconventional type of wedding dresses. Vintage is my thing, and that's what I would prefer over a Vera Wang (no offense to Miss Vera!). Here are some fun unconventional tips:

* Don't do the typical white! Go for blush, cream or ivory. Wear what looks good on you!

* Wear something a little shorter. Go knee or tea length. And don't forget the ruffles!

*Do sheer long sleeves. It's classy and so Kate-esque.

*Go vintage! They are typically WAY cheaper than a brand new one and extremely unique. You probably won't see 2 that are the same.

What do you think? Do you prefer conventional or unconventional? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

DON'T BE AFRAID TO GO NUDE

Get your mind out of the gutter! I'm talking about nude and flesh tones! :) Nude is the new black. You can wear it with basically anything. Wear nude shoes to make your legs seem like they go on for a mile. Play up a natural looking eye with nude and flesh tone sparkly eye shadows. Go natural on the nails with a creamy beige color. I love this color and it's perfect for anytime of the year.

MEET THE PARENTS

Meeting the parents is a big deal. Maybe not for you, but for me, yeah, meeting his parents was a big deal. :)  Looking your best is super important for this type of meeting. You don't want to come across as too high maintenance. You don't want to come across as a hussy (yes, I said hussy). But of course, you don't want to come across as anything but yourself, so here are a few good ideas to play up what you already have. However, no matter what you wear always remember to let your natural personality shine through. Be genuine and they will love you (hopefully :)

When you had to meet the parents, what did you wear?

♥Unique Wedding Ideas ♥

Luckily for all of those brides out there, you can find some very unique items to really make your wedding stand out and be personal at the same time.

I'm all about making the wedding about "you and your beloved" not everyone else. It can become stressful to try to please this person and that person, when all that really matters is what this day is all about. Make sure it is a true reflection of you, whether you can spend $5,000 or $50,000, doesn't really matter.

I've found some fabulous finds on Etsy and wanted to share those with you this "Fashion Friday". I hope you enjoy them and I'd love to hear what ideas you've come up with for your own special day. Do tell!
