There are so many places to look for a wedding dress and thousands of designers out there who are talented. Its just a matter of doing your research and finding that one special dress you love. One of my favorite designers is UK mastermind, Jenny Packham. I love her gowns because they have a vintage flair and impeccable detail. If you don’t know by now, I feel it all comes down to the details. If you agree, than Packham’s designs will blow your mind.

Here are my faves from her collections. Hope they inspire all you brides out there. Maybe one day I will get to try one one. In my dreams!

I have been loving this shop for awhile and now that they have a bridal selection, I must showcase them as shop of the month. Ruche is a vintage inspired shop that carries everything from clothing and accessories to home decor items. There is so much to choose from and all are priced very well. I also happen to love their website. So pretty!

Husband and wife team, Mai and Josh Olivo, created Ruche from top to bottom. Ideas started brewing in 2005 and three years later shopruche.com was born. Thanks to Mai and her determination to find stylish clothes and accessories, us girls who adore vintage flair have a beautiful place to find things we love. All that hard work paid off for sure. Thanks Mai & Josh!

Here are some of my favorites that express my true style. Enjoy!
