Since a lot of soon-to-be brides read this blog, I decided to start a wedding fashion corner. I love everything to do with weddings, and I research on a constant basis because I live and breathe weddings from photographing to coordinating them. Plus I have a passion for fashion! My own wedding dress was a disaster as the tailor did not make the dress as I envisioned it, so in a way, I’m reliving the thought of having the perfect dress through this as well. Put it all together and there you have it – ‘style and grace’. :)
This past year, we saw a lot of brides adding a splash of color to their gowns by adding a sash [dress below by Monique Lhuillier]. I’ve personally seen champagne, pink, pale pink, hot pink, mauve, brown, and sage.
In the upcoming year, the timeless look of Grace Kelly will be more prevalent - lots of lace!
Below is an elegant empire-waist Oscar de la Renta with a beautiful cathedral-length veil.
Below are two gorgeous dresses by Jenny Lee.
This one by Melissa Sweet. From the millions of advertisements out there, this one has been pointed out to me countless times from friends – the dress and the hair is simply romantic and beautiful.
Also, Carley [editor in chief from The Knot] says embellishments are back in.
My favorite embellished dress below from Vera Wang.
If you want to go wild, you can have embellishments with a sash! Dress below by Monique Lhuillier.
Below are some bridesmaid dresses that I love [Vera Wang].
One for the evening or a fall|winter wedding:
One for the spring|summer or daytime wedding. The pockets are so in right now which is great for ladies so they can keep their lipstick or tissue nearby.
Thanks for reading my first edition. Stay tuned for the next one in January!

I’ve always loved the Melissa Sweet dress – but I know my mom would never like it – she likes the big and poofy! korean ajoomas… =P
Simple and elegant is a great theme.
