Sorry for the radio silence on Save the Date today! I wrote this post in the A.M., then forgot to publish it. {Maybe it's time to schedule vacation days? } Anyway, when I shared the video from Vera Wang's runway show, many of you were feeling lukewarm about the black-and-white wedding dresses. But I want to share the official pics of two of my favorites and ask you to reconsider!
Wedding Dress 1
As I mentioned, I'm pretty sure when the dresses hit stores next spring, brides will have the option to order them in all-white or all-ivory, so the black part of the bodice above would blend in with the rest of the dress. And the black bodice below would match the skirt.
I'm also really into the butt flower on the dress below. I can't remember if it's removable (and I can't find the Vera Wang handout thingy to save my life), but I'm feeling like if the dress and butt flower were all ivory or white, the butt flower might be the kind of fashiony detail that a risk-taking bride might embrace. (I'm not sure if Vera would appreciate my zealous use of the term "butt flower" here, so let's hoping she's relaxing on a beach post-bridal market and not checking Save the Date!)
Wedding Dress 2
Here's the rear view:
Would you wear either of these wedding dresses? What if the black parts blended in with the rest of the dress?
