I am totally in love with this trend. In fact, I hope that more brides- especially some of mine- take the risk of truly making a STATEMENT with their personal wedding style.
Nothing screams confidence more than a smoldering eye, a fierce look and a statement piece. It’s the new classic portrait for the twenty-first century bride. And I’m dead for it. There’s something inherently “wrong” about pairing a huge, chunky necklace with a classically elegant frock of formality such as a wedding dress. Something too overstated. Some type of in-your-face quality that would have our fore mothers [??] rolling in their graves for sure. But this, my dears, is a new day. And for that, I’m thankful!
It’s time to open our minds and broaden our wardrobes. If you can’t do it for your wedding, you may never be able to! Take that huge rush of confidence you get when you’re blog stalking, and put it to practice! Are you seeing yet why you are drawn to “great” photos from amazing photographers? It’s the couples! It’s their “models”. It’s their inspiration. Personal style cannot- I repeat- CANNOT fall to the wayside when planning a wedding. Bring it out and up, and take it 10 notches above what you’d do daily. If it’s something you thought you’d be into but are too afraid to try- do it. Don’t get me wrong- run it by a friend or two first- but be bold enough to truly follow through. Get noticed for everything you want to be. And you’ll walk tall with your head held high [great for posture and for posing] the day of your wedding- feeling like a stylish stack of a million bucks! And when you feel it, you look it. And when you look it, you’ll remember it forever and always in the pictures and video!!
Some of my online faves:

DYING just picturing this one, below, butted up against a killer ivory dress:

Tell me that piece, above, doesn’t SCREAM Smog Shoppe wedding!!
And a real, live kick-you-in-the-teeth motivator [and the inspiration for the post] via Jasmine Star and her amazing workshop:
The grey is oh-so-chic! And looks just as rad in black and white…
