Whimsical Wedding Accessories from Oscar de la Renta

TAGS: WEDDING OBSESSION, OSCAR DE LA RENTA 2011, BUDGET, ACCESSORIES

Melissa from Wedding Obsession recently posted photos showcasing accessories from Oscar de la Renta's Spring/Summer 2011 collection. The veils, hats and jewelry in this collection were so inspiring that we just had to share them with you!


We adore the light and airy feeling of these pieces and the fresh take on florals and other natural elements, which are perfect for an outdoor wedding. The over-the-top butterfly hat with birdcage veil is very Carrie Bradshaw and would make for a fun, fanciful and high fashion wedding photo session.

Brides Get Noticed Wearing Asymmetrical Gowns - Spring 2011 from Vera Wang

TAGS: WEDDING OBSESSION, VERA WANG, WEDDING DRESS, TRENDS

We've got some very special photos for you today thanks to Melissa from Wedding Obsession! These inspiring images are borrowed from Melissa's post about Vera Wang's structurally refreshing Spring 2011 collection!


We're huge fans of Vera's designs, as are the many brides-to-be who salivate over her incredible collections. Her dresses are always stunning, but we really love the new direction she's taking for Spring 2011.


Vera has showed us that asymmetry can be eye-catching, yet soft as she's added swaths of draped fabric to create elements reminding us of things found in nature. In the dresses below we see gowns shaped like whisps of smoke, large and small three-dimensional florals, the texture and shape of water polished stones, and a dress that reminds us of snow covered mountains. Gorgeous and intelligent!

Destination Wedding Hawaii
Hawaii Destination Wedding featuring photos by: Bella Carta Studios


For some tropical inspiration, we had to share this wedding shot by Regina photographer Bella Carta Studios. This bright and charming wedding used colours that absolutely pop off the screen. The bride chose these colors because when she and her sister were little girls, she was "orange" and her sister was "purple". All of her clothes, toys and gifts were orange and her sister’s were purple. What a sentimental, personal touch!
