Debbie Co dress inspired in a Marchesa Gown, pink peony for the wedding bouquet, year 2008, Kate Spade shoes.

Designer: Debbie Co
Shoes: Metallic sling backs from Kate Spade
Headpiece: “That flower actually came from one of the table arrangements! It totally slipped my mind that I would need something on my hair so I told our wedding coordinator, Peaches Go-Tiu, to just get something from one of the arrangements in the ballroom! This is what she picked out and it turned out so great!”
Veil: “Debbie Co also took care of my veil (with a spray of crystal beading).”

Wedding date: July 2008
Wedding Place: Church wedding at Mary the Queen Parish.
Wedding bouquet : Pink peonies


Bride: Christine Dychiao, The Philippines
Blog: Manila fashion observer

My dress: “My taste is very simple, and I wanted something classic and elegant. I also wanted a dress that I can wear even after our wedding. When I saw a white Grecian style Marchesa gown in InStyle Weddings, I knew that was THE dress. So I asked my friend/designer to make something similar for me!”

 My dress: “I was trying gowns almost every weekend. My task was to go to bridal salon to try on gowns.  I don’t know if that happens to every bride?  You have a feeling of “that’s it” or “no no” when you try it on. At the end I found the “that’s it” gown FINALLY.  My bear was being very patient with me trying on gowns.  I have to give him a big Beari Hug for this!  Even I was kinda frustrated throughout the whole process.  Both my bear and I thought this was the one.  However, I made several requests to change some of the details to my gown.  I changed the material of this gown to Ivory Satin instead of Organza and you will see the crystal beads on the satin instead.  I also ordered crystals brooches as well to put on to my gown to replace the roses instead.  I wanted my gown with this bling bling sparkling effect!  It  took approximately 3-6 months of wait plus the customization.”

21 Chics   +1 Chic

Loading ... Loading ...

 

1929's vintage dress, red roses and lily wedding bouquet, year 2007 in a winery, veil and cloche for the reception.

Designer:  There’s no tags (it’s a 1929’s vintage dress). “I’m guessing it could have been homemade…”

Wedding date: April 2007
Wedding Place: Winery, the building was a church from the 1860s or 1870s
Wedding bouquet : Red roses and some kind of lily


Bride: Katharine S. L., USA
Blog: My 1920’s wedding

 

My dress: “I saw this dress for sale on eBay and immediately fell in love with it. From then on, I started planning a 1920s-themed wedding. I even cut my hair to make it more authentic! I found an antique wax flower wreath and had a veil made to go with the dress. In the little town where we got married, they were having an antique show the same weekend. The day before my wedding, my mom found a beautiful 1920s cloche for sale… and it was a perfect match for my dress! We bought it and I wore it for the reception.”

Modern and traditional wedding gown in South Korea

18 Chics   +1 Chic

Dress from Wendy's bridal, white roses for the wedding bouquet, year 2001, South Korea.

Designer: Wendy’s Bridal

Wedding date: June 2001
Wedding Place: Catholic church
Wedding bouquet : Light pink roses


Bride: MJ, South Korea

 

My dress: ” About my white dress, I bought it at Wendy’s Bridal Gallerie in Columbus Ohio. I tried 4~5 different ones in the store and all customers (who I didn’t know) in the store thumbed-up when I tried that dress. I also liked the simple design and its slim waist line, but in the actual wedding where no fancy lights were allowed (it was a strict church), it could have been better if there were some accessories or less ’simpler’.”

Shop 125 dress, white roses for the wedding bouquet, year 2007, Crisalis sandals, flowers for the hair.

Designer: Shop 125
Shoes: Crisalis
 

Wedding date: Spring 2007
Wedding Place: Ceremony in a garden
Wedding bouquet : White roses


Bride: Kira, Brazil
Blog: Kira fashion

My dress: “I got married in a really small ceremony at my mom’s garden. The dress was chosen by me and it is from Shop 125, a brand from São Paulo – Brazil.
My hair and make-up was done by a very talented artist, his name is Kaçula from Studio K. The idea of the white roses for my hair was from Kaçula. It fit perfectly because the dress doesn’t have many details.
The earrings are in white gold and diamonds and it was a gift from my mother-in-law.”

28 Chics   +1 Chic

Oleg Cassini dress, white roses for the wedding bouquet, year 2007, Manolo Blahnik peep-toes, Swarovski tiara and Tiffany&co earrings.

Designer: Oleg Cassini
Shoes: Manolo Blahnik
Earrings: Tiffany&co
Tiara: Swarovski crystal

Wedding date: May 2007
Wedding Place: Church
Wedding bouquet : White roses


Bride: Erika, USA
Blog: Fashion Chalet

My dress: “I chose this dress because I always envisioned for my Wedding dress to be something out of a storybook fairytale. I have always loved the sweetheart neckline, fitted bodice and tulle skirt. I wanted to feel like a modern day Princess, something elegant yet classic. The intricate beading throughout and the big tulle skirt sold me! Oleg Cassini had all of this in her dress. It was the second one that I tried on and I am so happy I found it. The one I wore was the last one in my size and then the style was discontinued. I still have her, my special dress, in my Wardrobe tucked away in her garment bag. I remember trying it on every night in my room before my wedding day!”

Jesús Peiró dress, white roses for the wedding bouquet, year 2008 in a country house of Madrid. Massimo Dutti Peep-toes.

Designer: Jesús Peiró
Shoes: Massimo Dutti
Earrings: Carrera y Carrera

Wedding date: September 2008
Wedding Place: Church/Country state in the outskirts of Madrid
Wedding bouquet : White roses


Bride: Cristina. R., Spain

My dress: “I began looking for a one-of-a-kind dress, but after trying on several that looked like “costumes” on me, I chose to look for a dress that would simply make me look great. The earrings… I chose the earrings before I chose the groom, after falling in love with them when I saw them in 2004 in a magazine. About the shoes, I was looking for something that I could use also in other occasions after the wedding. For the dance, I used espadrilles of Cristina Castañer.”
