I found this gorgeous wedding gown by Pricilla of Boston from my favorite collection “Vineyard”

THE Dress can be different for everybody. It can be long, lacy, pouffy, sleek, white, ivory… maybe even aqua blue chiffon if that’s what suits you. But out of allllll the beautiful wedding dresses out there to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming trying to pick just one! Here, Priscilla of Boston has created a profile quiz to help you narrow down your own style and therefore make the wedding gown shopping a little easier as well. Going in with some ideas of what makes you feel like you will help oodles when searching through all that silk, tulle, taffeta and lace (and even the aqua blue chiffon).

Priscilla says I’m a “classic” bride (go figure). What are you??

Nine years ago today, my husband and I exchanged vows on the campus at Santa Clara University, and had our reception at the Silicon Valley Capitol Club in San Jose. The eight bridesmaids wore ice blue gowns and held light blue hydrangea bouquets.

Five years after that, Scott surprised me with a vow renewal ceremony, just the two of us and a Hawaiian minister on poipu beach on Kauai. Our reception was a sunset dinner for two at the Beach House . I had a tuberose and gardenia bouquet, and Scott wore maile.

For our ten year anniversary, exactly one year from today, we are going to plan a celebration of “Loving Out Loud”. And once again, I am a bride-to-be! Stay tuned for more details, as the planning begins!

We came upon this bride in ruffled loveliness on one of our favorite blogs, 100 Layer Cake. Perfection.

Today we salute brides who think outside of the box- they take risks with their important day, and it pays off in a very big way. Unique color palettes, fresh details, and ideas we haven’t seen anywhere else! Below are a few of our favorite risk takers we’ve come across lately, photos courtesy of Vintage Glam Weddings, Style Me Pretty,and Pearl Events Blog.
