FINDING THE PERFECT DRESS

December 30, 2015 12:37AM


Finding dresses can be any girls worst nightmare. Where do I look? What looks good on me? Is it in my budget? Dress shopping can be stressful and we tend to wait late minute to go shop. I was approached by sweetywedding.com to do a blog post about their dresses on their site and said why not. Before I begin, I want to state that I have never purchase from them, but think they have a wonderful dresses.  Sweet Wedding is an online dress shop that sell a variety of dresses from wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, prom dresses and other special occasion dresses. They make it easy and stress-free by providing a wide range of styles, colors, sizes, and fabrications. Plus, their dresses are super affordable and give you the option to do custom sizing. I'm going to post some of my favorite dresses from their site, giving you guys an idea of what they have. 

WEDDING DRESSES


WEDDING DRESS ONE: TRADITIONAL LACE BALL GOWN

If you're a traditional gal, then I would recommend this dress because of the iconic sweetheart neckline, beautiful lace and waist sliming silhouette. I'm also loving the scalloped lace hem to add that extra attention to detail. This would be the perfect dress for a bride who loves the fairytale endings. I could also see this dress paired with a long veil trimmed with lace. Instead of the bow sash, I would wear it with an embellished ribbon sash to add just a touch of sparkle.

WEDDING DRESS TWO: HIGH-NECK MERMAID 

My favorite part of this dress has got to be the beautiful lace bodice and curve defining silhouette. I could definitely me myself in this dress. (I'm like getting really excited writing about this dress because I'm loving it.) This dress has the perfect amount of modesty and elegance. This dress really elongates the figure and also slims the figure. The back detailing of the placement of the lace and the buttons look gorgeous. Another, detail that I love is the way the top of the skirt wraps around to to one side and draws the eyes to the curves of the body.

WEDDING DRESS THREE: SIMPLE TRUMPET 

This dress is very similar to the last one, but has a whole new feel. This dress would be perfect for a bride looking for a simple yet sophisticated look. The armhole princess seam gives the dress a very nice shape to the body and the fabric adds a very natural drape to the body as well. The simplicity of this dress also gives it a very crisp modern feel. The neckline also is very traditional and doesn't reveal too much skin. The sleeves and embellished waist adds just the right amount of detail and interest.

WEDDING DRESS FOUR: ELEGANT A-LINE 

This dress is probably one of my other favorites because I love the cap sleeves and waist slimming silhouette. I like how this dress is still pretty modest, but still has the sexy appeal with the collarbone and back bones being exposed. The fullness of the skirt adds a girly touch that reminds me of how I would imagine myself on my wedding day when I was a little girl. This dress really showcases an elegant and fun loving bride.

WEDDING DRESS FIVE: STRAPLESS LACE A-LINE 

This dress is beautiful because of all the mixed design elements. With the sweetheart neckline, flowing down lace, full skirt bottom and trumpet/a-line silhouette. This dress just has a great mixed of traditional elements and gives off a modern twist to the traditional wedding dress. I could see this dress paired with an embellished waist sash and a long veil.

HAPPY NEW YEAR: 2016

January 1, 2016 11:23PM

Hey Everyone, I can't believe how fast 2015 went by and feel like I'm getting so much older. I hope you guys had a wonderful and blissful 2015 as much as I did. I'm so thankful for all the years I've been blessed with, both good and bad. 2015 was definitely a good year of me. Looking back, I actually did a lot and got a lot of things check off my list of moving on in life. (I don't literally have a list. It's more of a mental list.)

Reflection Time: 


I did a lot with my school and got really involved with the fashion movement in my community. Being able to go to SALT in the summer and going to a multitude of camping trips. Making many new friends and enjoying old friends. Got my driver's license finally!!! Having the opportunity to lead and serve in my church's Care Group Ministry. One of the things I'm most proud of  is being able to launch this blog and my other social media sites. It's been something I have been thinking of doing for years and I'm super happy to finally have it up and running. There's just so much things that happened in 2015 and I'm hoping the best for 2016.

This was just a short wrap up post of 2015 and want to give you guys the opportunity to reflect on 2015 and tell me your highlights of the year and what you are looking forward to most for 2016. Again, Happy New Year and God Bless!
