Layers of tulle and those gorgeous full-blown, fabric roses add a soft and romantic air of innocence, whilst the slight up-catching of the hem is a nod to cheekiness.

<div style="text-align: left;">The intricate yet dainty eyelet-style detailing in the bodice of style 225 by Ada Bridal sets this gown apart from the seemingly endless sea of strapless wedding dresses.

<br /> A gorgeous, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/04/22/how-to-dress-for-your-roaring-20s-wedding/">1920's-inspire</a>d Chanel concoction.<br /><br />Every detail of her outfit is perfect. The loose unconstructed style, the floaty fabric, a dropped waist, that pretty, tasseled belt, and those luxurious, long ropes of pearls around her neck. Then there's that long, flowing veil with the close-fitted headpiece. All of it is utterly enchanting, absolutely Twenties.<br /><br />We love it and hold it up as the perfect dress for any bride wanting to invoke the romance and nostalgia of the 1920's, yet with a modern and contemporary edge.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.hola.com/famosos/2008/06/21/boda-borbon-ussia/>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/04/a-flapper-wedding-gown-for-a-royal-spanish-bride/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/forward/1245640/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/04/a-flapper-wedding-gown-for-a-royal-spanish-bride/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>alejandro-de-bourbon</category><category>celebrity</category><category>celebrity-wedding</category><category>fashion</category><category>flapper-bride</category><category>roaring-20s</category><category>royal-wedding</category><category>twenties-wedding</category><dc:creator>Wendy Davidson</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 04 Jul 2008 12:01:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>From Red Carpet to Altar: Charlize Theron at the Hollywood Hancock premiere</title><link>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/04/from-red-carpet-to-altar-charlize-theron-at-the-hollywood-hanco/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/04/from-red-carpet-to-altar-charlize-theron-at-the-hollywood-hanco/</guid><comments>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/04/from-red-carpet-to-altar-charlize-theron-at-the-hollywood-hanco/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/fashion/" rel="tag">Fashion</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/from-red-carpet-to-altar/" rel="tag">From Red Carpet to Altar</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/celebrity/" rel="tag">Celebrity</a></p><div align="center"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" align="middle" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/81783656_10---copy.jpg" alt="" /><br /></div>
The fashion world seems to be of two minds about <a href="http://socialitelife.celebuzz.com/archive/2008/07/01/charlize_theron_and_stuart_townsend_hollywood_hancock_premiere.php">the flowing white dress Charlize wore</a> to the <em>Hancock</em> premiere in Hollywood. Some think it's the least flattering bedsheet <em>ever</em>, while others think it's ethereal and lovely. We tend to be of the latter opinion.<br /><br />The statuesque blond has rocked every look from dark, bondage-inspired pieces to haute couture gowns while promoting her latest flick, but we think this look in particular could be perfect for the right bride.

<div style="text-align: left;">Today we bring you a frivolous, decadent and oh-so-fun dress: It's not for everyone, but oh well! Life is short. We say live it up!<br /><br />This show stopping white silk satin gown with trumpet skirt by luxury designer Romona Keveza is a couture lover's dream come true. The workmanship and attention to detail is just spectacular! For instance, take a look at the black button detail running up to the back to the silk organza kiss-pleat stole, which is held together by a dramatic black satin bows at each shoulder. <br /><br />Gorgeous, no?<br /><br />The stole is removable, and reveals another black bow in the back - like this:<br /></div>

What could be easier than letting your bridesmaids choose their own little black dress? They get to find whatever pretty dress they like without having to pay for alterations and you don't have to worry about color variations - black is black (for the most part.)<br /><br />Still, if any of your bridesmaids are having trouble finding a dress that flatters their figure show them this very chic and very wearable offering from Lane Bryant. The draped neckline is soft and interesting, and the dress is inexpensive and easy to care for. We're sure they'll love it!<br /><br /><em><a href="http://www.lanebryant.com/pagebuilder/lane_bryant_product_page?item=1656156&amp;pagesize=3">Available at Lane Bryant for $59.50 in sizes 14-28</a></em><br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/dress-of-the-day-bridesmaids/">Dress of the day: Bridesmaids</a></strong></p><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/dress-of-the-day-bridesmaids/901825/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/caroline-carrot_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/dress-of-the-day-bridesmaids/901808/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/stacey_closeup_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/dress-of-the-day-bridesmaids/901807/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/stacey_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/dress-of-the-day-bridesmaids/897370/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/1064b_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/dress-of-the-day-bridesmaids/897368/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/1064a_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/02/dress-of-the-day-lane-bryant-draped-neck-sleeveless-dress/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Dress of the day: Lane Bryant draped neck sleeveless dress</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/02/dress-of-the-day-lane-bryant-draped-neck-sleeveless-dress/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/forward/1238333/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/02/dress-of-the-day-lane-bryant-draped-neck-sleeveless-dress/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>dress-of-the-day</category><category>featured</category><category>full-figured</category><category>lane-bryant</category><category>little-black-dress</category><category>plus size</category><category>plus-size</category><category>PlusSize</category><dc:creator>Roxanna Sarmiento</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Romantic faux fur hand muffs for your winter wedding</title><link>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/02/romantic-faux-fur-hand-muffs-for-your-winter-wedding/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/02/romantic-faux-fur-hand-muffs-for-your-winter-wedding/</guid><comments>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/02/romantic-faux-fur-hand-muffs-for-your-winter-wedding/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/fashion/" rel="tag">Fashion</a></p><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="314" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/rightmodelclose700.jpg" alt="" />It's July and therefore very hot up here in the northern hemisphere so talking about ways to keep warm might seem a bit odd - but of course, summertime is exactly when most winter brides are thinking about their outfits. <br /><br />One of our readers with a winter wedding <em>(hi Pam!)</em> asked for our help locating ivory faux fur hand muffs and we're delighted to help out.

The bride and groom don't really expect you to pull a 16th-century ball gown out of the back of your closet, but they do hope you'll dress the part. <br /><br />Costume stores are a great place to look for clothes for a Renaissance wedding. You're probably not going to ever have an occasion to wear such an outfit again, so look for costume rentals in the yellow pages. <a href="http://www.ebay.com/">Ebay</a> is another great place to look for bargains on Renaissance inspired clothing. <br />Ask the bride and groom about the dress code. For theme weddings, dressing up is usually more important than dressing formally, so if you like the more casual clothes of the period better than the super-fancy, super-layered stuff, go with what you like!<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/01/weddingwise-finding-an-outfit-for-a-theme-wedding/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/forward/1234155/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/07/01/weddingwise-finding-an-outfit-for-a-theme-wedding/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>costumes</category><category>ebay</category><category>featured</category><category>guests</category><category>period-costumes</category><category>period-dress</category><category>renaissance</category><category>renaissance-weddings</category><category>theme-weddings</category><category>weddingwise</category><category>what-to-wear</category><dc:creator>Meg Massie</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jul 2008 07:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Inspiration board: Retro cool</title><link>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/30/inspiration-board-retro-cool/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/30/inspiration-board-retro-cool/</guid><comments>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/30/inspiration-board-retro-cool/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/fashion/" rel="tag">Fashion</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/alternative-weddings/" rel="tag">Alternative Weddings</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/invitations/" rel="tag">Invitations</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/favor-file/" rel="tag">Favors</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/grooms/" rel="tag">Grooms</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/theme-weddings/" rel="tag">Theme weddings</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/inspiration-boards/" rel="tag">Inspiration Boards</a></p><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/retrocool.jpg" /><br /><br />Do you love retro?

<br />Retro-glamour at its best, this dress by David's Bridal brand Galina Signature has a gorgeous draped bust line that's emphasized in the front and back by glittering brooches - so you can wow them both coming and going.<br /><br />The draping and empire waist give this dress a definite goddess feel. We find it to be sophisticated and sexy and are sure that any bride wearing this will feel like a siren. <br /><br />(Alternate view after the jump)<br /><em><br />Availability and pricing: Sizes 0-16 $600 / Sizes 14W - 26W $700 at <a href="http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridal_gowns_detail.jsp?stid=3744&amp;prodgroup=245">davidsbridal</a>.com<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/dress-of-the-day-bride/">Dress of the day: Brides</a></strong></p><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/dress-of-the-day-bride/901822/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/caroline_white_back_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/dress-of-the-day-bride/901821/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/caroline_white_front_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/dress-of-the-day-bride/901772/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/olegcassinidavids_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/dress-of-the-day-bride/901771/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/backofolegcassini_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/dress-of-the-day-bride/901764/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/cd278_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /></em><p><a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/30/dress-of-the-day-srl9499-by-galina-signature/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Dress of the day: SRL9499 by Galina Signature</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridal_gowns_detail.jsp?stid=3744&amp;prodgroup=245>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/30/dress-of-the-day-srl9499-by-galina-signature/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/forward/1236671/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/30/dress-of-the-day-srl9499-by-galina-signature/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>charmeuse</category><category>davids-bridal</category><category>empire-waist</category><category>galina-signature</category><category>goddess</category><category>plus-size</category><category>plus-sized</category><category>plus-sizes</category><category>siren</category><dc:creator>Roxanna Sarmiento</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jun 2008 14:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Renaissance headgear for all</title><link>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/30/renaissance-headgear-for-all/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/30/renaissance-headgear-for-all/</guid><comments>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/30/renaissance-headgear-for-all/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/fashion/" rel="tag">Fashion</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/ceremonies/" rel="tag">Ceremonies</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/theme-weddings/" rel="tag">Theme weddings</a></p><a href="http://www.talltoad.net/HeadbandFalls.html"><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="243" border="0" align="right" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/fallgir33l.jpg" /></a>If you're planning a Renaissance wedding, you'll want to make the most of the luscious hats and headgear they wore back then. It simply wasn't <em>done</em> to go out in public without something on your head, men or women, so the range of choice was rich.<br /><br />Now, if you weren't a rich woman, you'd likely be wearing a <a href="http://www.stitchesofmirth.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=24&amp;products_id=32">simple linen cap</a>, big enough to tuck your hair inside.

But if you had the money, your head could be lavishly adorned with silk, velvet, brocade and embellished with ribbons, beads, jewels, feathers and/or lace. Our generation did not invent conspicuous consumption! The Renaissance was not a time of subtle understatement in fashion. <br /><br />And if your man is a bit of a fashion plate himself, he'll be delighted to know that men were allowed every bit as much of the color and embellishing as the women. Rich red hats with purple feathers? He wants it, he gets it!<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/renaissance-hats-for-everyone/">Renaissance hats for everyone</a></strong></p><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/renaissance-hats-for-everyone/887207/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/wwhenry8_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Henry VIII hat" title="Henry VIII hat" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/renaissance-hats-for-everyone/887209/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/wwfrenchfall_thumbnail.jpg" alt="French Hood" title="French Hood" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/renaissance-hats-for-everyone/887202/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/wwberet-grf_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Beret with feather" title="Beret with feather" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/renaissance-hats-for-everyone/887206/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/wwhornedheaddress_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Horned Hat" title="Horned Hat" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/renaissance-hats-for-everyone/887205/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/wwisabella-grcop_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Isabella" title="Isabella" /></a></div><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.talltoad.net/>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/30/renaissance-headgear-for-all/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/forward/1238831/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/30/renaissance-headgear-for-all/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>historical-fashion</category><category>renaissance</category><category>renaissance-fashion</category><category>renaissance-hats</category><category>renaissance-wedding</category><dc:creator>Ilona Peltz</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jun 2008 09:00:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Wai Ching: creative dresses for the Indie bride</title><link>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/29/wai-ching-creative-dresses-for-the-indie-bride/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/29/wai-ching-creative-dresses-for-the-indie-bride/</guid><comments>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/29/wai-ching-creative-dresses-for-the-indie-bride/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/fashion/" rel="tag">Fashion</a></p><div align="center"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/1waiching10.jpg" /><br /></div>
For non-traditionalist brides who want to eschew a fairytale white wedding dress and wear something that truly reflects an independent, creative and free spirit, finding the right dress, at an acceptable cost, can be quite a task.<br /><br />Recently, we discovered,<a href="http://wai-ching.com/">Wai-Ching Clothing</a>, by Chrissy Wai Ching, a marvellous Seattle-based designer who has a range of fabulous 'Indie' bridalwear (and a great range of fashion clothing as well). <br /><br />The good news is that even if you live far away from Seattle, you can still order a dress from Wai-Ching and know that it will fit you perfectly. The studio communicates closely with you to get your measurements and they guarantee a perfect fit.<br /><br />Their designs can be altered to suit you, and they will happily adapt existing designs, adding, for example, straps, corset backs and trains. Best of all, though, are the prices. Most designer wedding dresses fall above the $2000 mark but a Wai-Ching gown can cost as little as $198.<br /><br />For a look at some of our favourite designs from the range, click through the image gallery below, and don't forget to visit the <a href="http://wai-ching.com/">website</a> for the full clothing range.<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/wai-ching-wedding-dresses/">Wai-Ching Wedding Dresses</a></strong></p><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/wai-ching-wedding-dresses/889844/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/waiching3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/wai-ching-wedding-dresses/889851/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/waiching7_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/wai-ching-wedding-dresses/889850/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/waiching8_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/wai-ching-wedding-dresses/889849/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/waiching6_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/wai-ching-wedding-dresses/889848/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/waiching5_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://wai-ching.com/>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/29/wai-ching-creative-dresses-for-the-indie-bride/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/forward/1239476/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/29/wai-ching-creative-dresses-for-the-indie-bride/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>bridal-wear</category><category>fashion</category><category>featured</category><category>wai-ching</category><category>wedding-dresses</category><dc:creator>Wendy Davidson</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 29 Jun 2008 16:03:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Timeless elegance with Juliet Poyser wedding gowns</title><link>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/29/timeless-elegance-with-juliet-poyser-wedding-gowns/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/29/timeless-elegance-with-juliet-poyser-wedding-gowns/</guid><comments>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/29/timeless-elegance-with-juliet-poyser-wedding-gowns/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/fashion/" rel="tag">Fashion</a></p><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/1coatdress.jpg" alt="" />The latest collection by London designer <a href="http://www.jpoyser.freeserve.co.uk/">Juliet Poyser </a>was inspired by the 1950's and the classic, feminine elegance of that time is evident in this gorgeous wedding dress range.<br /><br />There's something about the sleek and chic simplicity of these designs that inspire visions of a superbly glamorous, stylish wedding. We're thinking Grace Kelly meets Audrey Hepburn. Ballrooms and orchestras and sophisticated cocktails. Men in tuxedos. Perhaps a touch of James Bond too!<br /><br />The collection features tight-fitting, slinky gowns, Dior-style coat dresses, elegant shrugs, smooth fabrics with interesting bow and buckle details and beautifully flared A-line skirts. These are modern, elegant dresses with a fabulous retro element. True classics.<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/juliet-poyser-gowns/">Juliet Poyser Gowns</a></strong></p><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/juliet-poyser-gowns/889900/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/9_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/juliet-poyser-gowns/889899/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/8_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/juliet-poyser-gowns/889901/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/26_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/juliet-poyser-gowns/889902/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/21-1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/juliet-poyser-gowns/889903/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.jpoyser.freeserve.co.uk/>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/29/timeless-elegance-with-juliet-poyser-wedding-gowns/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/forward/1239937/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/29/timeless-elegance-with-juliet-poyser-wedding-gowns/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>bridal-gowns</category><category>fashion</category><category>juliet-poyser</category><category>wedding-dresses</category><category>wedding-gowns</category><dc:creator>Wendy Davidson</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 29 Jun 2008 10:03:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>CEO bags for brides from C &amp; G Weddings</title><link>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/28/ceo-bags-for-brides-from-c-and-g-weddings/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/28/ceo-bags-for-brides-from-c-and-g-weddings/</guid><comments>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/28/ceo-bags-for-brides-from-c-and-g-weddings/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/fashion/" rel="tag">Fashion</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/negotiating-speed-bumps/" rel="tag">Negotiating Speed Bumps</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/bridal-beauty/" rel="tag">Bridal Beauty</a></p><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" align="right" alt=""  src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/cgw005.jpg" />Just this month -- June 2008 -- <a href="http://www.candgweddings.com/newdesign/home.html">C &amp; G Weddings</a> (a New York-based wedding planning firm) announced the release of their <a href="http://stores.thecorporateedge.com/candgweddings/catalog.asp">CEO bag</a>, a stylish and useful all-in-one handbag for the busiest (and most organized!) of brides.<br /><br />There are a million details to keep track of when planning a wedding -- regardless if you have professional assistance or not.

Of course that doesn't mean compromising on style, nor does it necessarily mean spending almost nothing at all. (Although it's far, far easier to get a great dress for less when it's not a fully-fledged fairytale gown).<br /><br />We've found five superb little numbers that go from low-budget to mid-budget and all of them would look fabulous with the right accessories. A gorgeous bouquet of sleek Calla lilies, a pair of stunning shoes, a sophisticated hairdo and you'll take his breath away.<br /><br />Click on the images below to view these pretty dresses.<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/five-civil-wedding-dresses/">Great Dresses for a Civil Wedding</a></strong></p><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/five-civil-wedding-dresses/884213/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/89636_1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Giambattista Valli Dress" title="Giambattista Valli Dress" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/five-civil-wedding-dresses/884214/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/_5622907_thumbnail.jpg" alt=" Eliza J Ruffle Wrap Dress" title=" Eliza J Ruffle Wrap Dress" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/five-civil-wedding-dresses/884217/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/image1xl_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/five-civil-wedding-dresses/884215/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/25202841_m1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Lara Lace Wedding Dress" title="Lara Lace Wedding Dress" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/five-civil-wedding-dresses/884216/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/25202941_m1_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Madison Shift Wedding Dress" title="Madison Shift Wedding Dress" /></a></div><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://shop.nordstrom.com/>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/28/five-great-dresses-for-a-civil-wedding/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/forward/1237229/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/28/five-great-dresses-for-a-civil-wedding/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>civil-wedding</category><category>fashion</category><category>short-dresses</category><category>wedding-dresses</category><dc:creator>Wendy Davidson</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 28 Jun 2008 12:02:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Vera Wang takes up blogging</title><link>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/27/vera-wang-takes-up-blogging/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/27/vera-wang-takes-up-blogging/</guid><comments>http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/27/vera-wang-takes-up-blogging/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/fashion/" rel="tag">Fashion</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/gifts-and-registries/" rel="tag">Gifts and Registries</a>, <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/category/ceremonies/" rel="tag">Ceremonies</a></p><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" align="right" alt=""  src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/06/vwangj00980101.jpg" />Just about any bride who has dreamed of a designer dress has heard of <a href="http://verawang.com/">Vera Wang</a>.

It's a fun party dress and would be perfect for a swanky rehearsal dinner. It's short and sleek and white - making it a fine option for the hopelessly chic bride who wouldn't be caught dead in a princess ball gown. And it also has a definite 80's vibe (check out that belt) and a tiered skirt - which makes it white-hot and trendy.<br /><br />It also comes in black (picture after the jump)  - a look your bridesmaids will love. On the other hand, YOU could wear it in black to your rehearsal, right?<br /><br /><a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=308488&amp;CategoryID=35253&amp;LinkType=SiteAd&amp;LinkLoc=5449&amp;AdID=43670"><span style="font-style: italic;">Lauren by Ralph Lauren - $280 at Macy's</span><br style="font-style: italic;" /></a><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/dress-of-the-day-bride/">Dress of the day: Brides</a></strong></p><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/dress-of-the-day-bride/901822/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/caroline_white_back_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/dress-of-the-day-bride/901821/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/caroline_white_front_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/dress-of-the-day-bride/901772/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/olegcassinidavids_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/dress-of-the-day-bride/901771/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/backofolegcassini_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://".$GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"]."/photos/dress-of-the-day-bride/901764/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.aisledash.com/media/2008/07/cd278_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/27/dress-of-the-day-lauren-by-ralph-lauren-silk-organza-multilayer/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Dress of the day: Lauren by Ralph Lauren Silk Organza Multilayered Dress</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/27/dress-of-the-day-lauren-by-ralph-lauren-silk-organza-multilayer/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/forward/1235025/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.aisledash.com/2008/06/27/dress-of-the-day-lauren-by-ralph-lauren-silk-organza-multilayer/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>dress-of-the-day</category><category>lauren-ralph-lauren</category><category>ralph lauren</category><category>RalphLauren</category><category>rehearsal</category><category>silk</category><dc:creator>Roxanna Sarmiento</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 27 Jun 2008 14:00:00 EST</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
