Get this, come Spring 2011 Anthropologie will be a source for more than just inspiration.

The minds behind this perfectly vintage company are launching a new bridal brand. Think---heirloom wedding gowns, bridesmaid and occasion dresses, shoes and bags, jewelry and accessories, and more!

Let the countdown begin.

Oh, and unfortunately this image is not a preview, just another dose of fashion inspiration from Anthropologie's March 2010 Catalog.

Let me be the first to say: LOVE IT!

If you're looking for a beautiful gown that doesn't break the bank check out The Limited (yes, you heard me...The Limited!). These two gowns will be retailing for, and you're not going to believe this, just $298!

Bridesmaids dresses too (check out the sneak peek). They'll carry two different styles both under $100. I would be thrilled to wear this emerald green dress in a friend's wedding.

What do you think? Will these new Limited Wedding Gowns be a hit?

... but wish they could wear again.

Here's the deal. Rent the Runway is a hot new site that let's you rent a gorgeous party dress straight from the runways of some of the hottest designers. And, here's the best part, these couture styles start at just $50 for four days! Your bridesmaids won't, no, can't complain about those prices.

So, would you consider renting bridesmaids dresses?

Oh, and P.S. I'm loving the idea of renting one of these styles for your bridal shower or rehearsal dinner.

Believe it or not, black was the hottest gown hue to hit the bridal runways this season. So I thought, in an homage to Halloween, I'd highlight some of the boldest wedding gowns of the bunch.

Want jewelry to pair with your goth gown? I love this necklace by Anna Ruth Henriques. The spider charm is super subtle so it's wearable the rest of the year too!

What do you think: Wedding worthy, or more appropriate for a costume ball?

The word obsessed comes to mind when I think of this new makeup palette from Stila (it officially launches this March).

It's called Stila Loves Claire Pettibone and last week, at the Claire Pettibone Bridal Fashion Show, we got a pre-release sample in our goodie bags. I, of course, did a little test run the second I got home.

The plum colored trio (on the top right) is my favorite, the redish-purple really complements my hazel eyes.

Now, I'm no pro when it comes to applying makeup, but these colors blended seamlessly for a flawless finish.

Okay, so most of the girls on Say Yes to the Dress aren't exactly Bridezillas, but there is always some drama! Luckily all my dress shopping experiences at Kleinfeld have been drama-free. My best friend found her Amsale dress there, and I was the only one crying (happy tears of course).
Can't wait to see what happens tonight.

Is anyone else tuning in?

In anticipation for the Spring 2010 Bridal Fashion Week (it starts October 16th!) I thought I'd use one of my favorite gowns from last season to show of my latest beauty obsession — blue-infused smokey shadow.

This Reem Acra dress caught my eye the minute it hit the runway. See, I'm a minimalist when it comes to everyday fashion — jeans, t-shirt, cute flats and I'm out the door, but I'm a sucker for a flirty, feminine wedding gowns (especially ones with subtle blue sashes).

Going for smokey eyes? Keep the rest of your makeup fresh and clean. Try a lip tint or sheer coverage lipstick instead of something completely opaque and opt for a blush that adds a hint of color.

I'm always amazed how designers can take the smallest, most traditional gemstone (like the pearl) and create such unique and gorgeous gowns.

This Christos gown is truly one of my all-time favorite creations. The sleeves are so gorgeous and they make this very simple A-line dress absolute perfection!

For a bit more bling, this Reem Acra dress is definitely next on my list. The pearls have an ombre-like effect - super dense on the bodice then trickling into nothing on the skirt.

Okay glamour girls, this Platinum for Priscilla of Boston gown is for you. A fit and flair gown with scattered pearls from head-to-toe. It's elegant drama at it's best.

What do you think? Have I made a pearl-lover out of any of you?
