| [ planning ] My Advice From aisle to altar, the ceremony décor should reflect the spirituality of your union. Can you incorporate your ceremony venue to capture this spirit, and also economize your budget? Whether it's a giant shade tree or the ocean as a backdrop, a natural environment is a captivating option. I also recommend using candles in the place of costly fresh flowers and creating an unusual seating arrangement (such as a cross configuration). If you can work with your surroundings for the ceremony, you can shift more of your wedding budget to the reception.— XO, Vera Glossary: Necklines [ on the shoulder ] This type of neckline dictates a dress with armholes or shoulder straps. This can include V-necks, high necklines, and halters. [ portrait ] This off the shoulder neckline is very flattering, focusing attention on the bride's face. But be aware that it is a more restrictive construction. [ strapless ] Depending on the cut, the strapless neckline can be flirty, romantic, yet still be dignified.

Dress Diary Everything about Fawn is so soft and so delicate it's almost floating. Fawn is a gown with a clearly luxurious sensibility, but you can see there's also a youthfulness to it that's so classically feminine, even girly. I always love when a crumb-catcher frames the bride's body at just the right degree. With this gown I've used multiple layers of organza to create a delicacy that suggests the romance and the fragility of a ballerina. Fawn stands out in the collection as perhaps the most delicate, the most girlish of all. It's a fantasy of lightness and beautiful texture that's so traditional, but I've added cascading layers of Chantilly lace applique flow that into textures like blossoms over the organza, which gives the gown an updated sophistication that's modern and intriguing. I'm always very concerned with the exit a bride will make. She should look just as beautiful for the attendees as on her entrance, and in this gown the lace blossom presents a gorgeous vision as delicate as falling snow. With Fawn, the lightness, fragility and delicacy of my Spring collection reaches its peak in this reinvention of a timeless ivory gown.
