Still Talking About That Dress…
It was just a year ago that 23 million Americans tuned in to watch Kate Middleton and Prince William say their I do’s.

Take a look at our Pippa inspired bridal and bridesmaid styles, as well as some JLM styles if you loved Kate’s two looks!

Below are some gorgeous ball gowns that would definitely make you feel like a fairytale princess on your wedding day.

Bringing Sexy Back…
A big trend in bridal this season is showing off some back, which can be very sexy! This can be done with a very low back as seen on Jim Hjelm Blush style 1202; cut-outs are also very popular like on Jim Hjelm style 8211, Alvina Valenta style 9202, Tara Keely style 2201, Hayley Paige style 6202 in this case a heart cut-out, and lastly Hayley Paige style 6206! Other fun ways to show off your back could be a cute bow like the one on Jim Hjelm Blush style 1201 or a crystalized sheer corset back as you see on Hayley Paige style 6203.

The Bachelor’s Ben Flajnik & Courtney
Roberston are Engaged
If any of you watched The Bachelor’s “most dramatic rose ceremony ever” last night you now know that Ben and Courtney are engaged to be married! Whether or not they’ll make it down the aisle we’ll have to wait and see, but US Weekly already reported pictures of Courtney trying on wedding gowns! Ben stated on The Bachelor After the Final Rose special that Courtney was only doing this to stop the negative attention Ben was getting for supposedly cheating on her, but you never know! Courtney seemed to be a fan of the form fitting mermaid and trumpet silhouettes! Here are some bridal gowns we think would look gorgeous on Courtney! What do you think??

Capes, Shrugs, and Boleros OH MY!
Many brides these days are trying to differentiate what they wear at their wedding ceremony from what they wear at their wedding reception! These bridal accessories are a great way to do so especially if you don’t want to buy another whole dress!!! Or if you do decide to go with two dresses, your shrug or bolero could be the constant piece you pair with both gowns. These capes, shrugs, and boleros are also perfect if you want to be more covered up for a religious ceremony!
