Simple Silhouettes and Dreamy Destination Dresses from the Emmys Red Carpet
Last week we profiled Kim Kardashian's Grecian dress and Lea Michele's ravishing asymmetric ruffles from the 2010 Emmy Red Carpet. This week we're moving away from sexy statement dresses, and towards more simple (yet textured) silhouettes and flowing destination wedding appropriate dresses.
Our inspirations this week are Claire Danes in her textured, strapless, slim fitting a-line and Brooke Burke who rocked a seriously sexy slit in her sweetheart gown. We've found amazing gowns from sellers on SmartBrideBoutique.com to help complete these celebrity looks for your wedding. Click on the images below to go straight to the dress listing.
And, don’t forget to check out our weekly smart bride deals!
Beach Babe
If you're planning a destination wedding, we love Brooke's flowing white dress paired with statement gold necklace and matching strappy sandals. Stick with bare feet, or gold flip flops for your beach ceremony and then change into these sexy sandals for the reception on solid ground. Brooke's side-swept curls complete the fresh, but perfectly put together look.
Only $500, this sample gown is from It's Your Day Bridal Boutique.
100% Silk Chiffon with Swarovski flower, this Gabriella Arango sample dress includes cleaning and alterations for $2300
Simple, Strapless Gowns Can Still Make a Statement
Although Claire wore a very simple silhouette, the texture of the gown still turned heads. Bridal designers bring the same concept to wedding dresses through textured overlays, layering, rouching and more.
Here are a few options for taking a simple silhouette to the next level. Click on the images below to check out a few examples we've pulled from sellers on SmartBride.
Beautiful lace overlay with beading detail give this Melissa Sweet dress a subtle texture.
Rich lace appliqués are a steal on this brand new Allure Bridals Wedding Dress priced at $700.
If you thought you couldn't afford a Vera Wang, think again. At $2000 (50% off) you can have a VW complete with veiled full-length floral applique and twinkling star jewels.
Simple doesn't have to mean strapless. Check out this all over lace beaded David's Bridal dress, brand new for 30% off.
