Wedding look 6

Here's a look I'm not considering at all for my wedding day... but it sure is pretty.

Dress: Normandie by Monique Lhuillier, $2500-5000. Jewelry: Marina large blue quartz teardrop earrings, $800; Canary crystal cuff bracelet, $750 by Judith Ripka. Shoes: Drapinight silver lamé pumps by Christian Loubouton, $692 at BlueFly. Bouquet: "Green Tea" rose bouquet, image from Petals Florist. Hair: Eva Longoria, image from Wedding Hair.

I honestly can't decide if I love or hate those shoes. But the rest is pure gorgeous!

I'm not usually a big fan of Monique Lhuillier (I know, I blaspheme) because I tend to find many of her dresses overly fussy and complicated. But this dress is so pretty and simple and silvery. The jewelry reminds me a little of what I picked in an earlier board, only much, much better—I really like blue gemstones, and I'm always drawn to oval and teardrop shaped jewelry (you saw my ring, right?). I picked the cuff because the picture of the bangles didn't look quite as clear, but the bangle with the yellow stone, I thought, would look really nice among a stack of silver bangles. I think the ballgown style dress is formal enough that an updo would be appropriate, but I'd still want to keep it loose and flowy. And I picked the rose bouquet because it has just a hint of green (my wedding color!) but is still a traditional style that would work for a formal wedding.

  1. I'm not sure if I like the shoes. I think it's one of those things to avoid b/c it seems "unique" enough, but in time, you might end up regretting a shoe like that!

  2. Paige: I think I'm on the same page. :) I think the shoes are pretty weird.
