Since its wedding season, I find no better time to showcase one of my favorite wedding shops, BHLDN. This Anthropologie shop has truly become a staple in event clothing and decor. From bridal gowns and bridesmaid dresses to accessories and wedding decor, it definitely is a one stop shop for sure.

They carry unique items that all have a bit of a vintage flair and whimsy feel. I highly recommend every bride visit their website and take a look around. If anything, for inspiration. If you’re lucky enough to live by one of their shops, stop in and say hello. I can promise you will leave with a smile.

There is so much BHLDN offers it would probably take a few posts to list all of my favorite things so I decided to list a few items I love that you can find in each category. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much I do.

I am not a huge fan of David’s Bridal because they mostly carry traditional wedding gowns but I did come across some gorgeous lace dresses that made me smile. The store is good for their prices which helps out a bunch as well.

I happen to love lace and when its added to garments, it really gives a nice, antique feel to the overall style. Even if the gown is modern, adding lace takes it to a whole new level. Its all in the details. Ruffles are always nice if its done right. Personally, I don’t like when the dress swallows the bride, which you see a lot. You should always wear the dress so don’t let it wear you. Here are the ones on the top of my list.
