A Dress for a Destination “I Do”!

I don’t know about you, but I feel like Spring is just around the corner, and with many of my friends heading south for a bit of sun to escape these last few weeks of winter, I’ve been thinking about destination weddings.  Lo and behold, I’ve got the perfect destination wedding dress to share.

{Jenny Yoo Sasha Wedding Dress. Regularly $925 on sale for $300.}

This Size 12 Jenny Yoo Sasha wedding dress is perfect for a barefoot beach wedding. However, it’s being discontinued so now’s your chance to get this simple but stunning dress at a fabulous price.  One of our fave shops, Frocks, is selling this sample dress for just $300. With the money you’ll save, perhaps you can splurge on a special honeymoon experience! Are you planning a destination wedding? If so, what kind of dress are you planning to wear?

Until next week!

This Size 8 Maggie Sottero Amara Royale wedding dress uses bold red fabric to create a unique wedding day look. It could be just the ticket for a Valentine’s Day wedding.

I’m curious…..would you wear a red dress to your wedding?
