Dress it ... bride #2: Dreamy Ruffles

Column and fit-and-flare dresses are very wonderful for showcasing gentle ruffles. Their streamlined silhouette coupled with the volume of the ruffles make for a feminine and chic look. I love the fit-and flare look as an updated version of the trumpet silhouette.

Dress it ... Bride: Dreamy Ruffles

Ball gowns are the classic way of showcasing beautiful ruffles. It can be small intricate frills, or big graceful waves. A slim fitted top will balance the full skirt, and a neat chic hairstyle will ensure that the ensemble is not too busy.

Luxury in your hands

This Alexander McQueen Knuckle Swarovski crystal and leather box clutch would be a perfect addition to your wedding attire, and for many many occasions after. Red and gold work so wonderfully together, creating an amazing look of luxury.

Volume up

I love dramatic hair for weddings, there's no better time to show off a great hairdo than on the big day, but of course one that fits the wedding theme and dress style. This shoot featured on Grey Likes Weddings shows off wonderful styling for the bride and groom, and the bridesmaid as well. Enjoy!
