From flirty frocks with a retro twist to sophisticated lacy dresses, we’ll show you four of our favourite fashion trends for your leading ladies and which stores to send your girls to to pick up their gowns.
This year, it’s all about simplicity when it comes to gowns (as noted in our roundup of the 12 Biggest Wedding Trends for 2012). We’re talking less razzle-dazzle with crystals, pearls and beading, more interesting fabrics, textures and tactile details like ruching, ruffles and rosettes. When your dress boasts a great design, but not a lot of bling, that means more accessorizing opportunities (statement necklaces, bangles, chandelier earrings….YES!). We’ve chosen 10 of our favourite stylish, yet simple, gowns from the latest designer collections.
Show up to your pre-wedding celebrations in style wearing one of these adorable (and ultra-affordable) party dresses. We’ve collected 15 great frocks for day or evening all under $100. Complement your ring with an evening dress that has a little sparkle and shine or sport a fun little colourful number to your daytime affair without breaking the bank.
By now you’ve probably heard all about Rent Frock Repeat–and if you haven’t you MUST check it out! Whether you’re looking for fun bridesmaid dresses, a lovely gown for all your pre-wedding parties or simply something fabulous and gorgeous to wear out to another wedding, this is the place to go to.

Are these not divine? I absolutely adore both of these styles and think they would be an oh-so-chic choice for every modern, sexy bride. As a Joeffer Caoc devotee, I can tell you his designs are even more stunning in person (I’ve seen these two dresses in his showroom AH-MAZING!) and his entire line is made right here in Canada. LOVE.

Stylish starlets Bryce Dallas Howard and Eva Mendes have both been snapped at recent red-carpet events wearing gorgeous 1950s-inspired cocktail dresses, and although these frocks are different in several ways, they do share a common element: the structured bodice. Read the rest of this entry »
If you’re looking for a pretty wedding dress, look no further than Oscar de la Renta’s latest bridal collection. They’re just so…WOW! This time around, Oscar unveiled an array of ultra-girly gowns that are not only feminine but so very chic. Don’t you just love them?
Right now I’m obsessed with Abigail Wright Designs. This Iris dress (pictured above) in particular has me swooning. I love the elegant and timeless look of the style. And the best part? Read the rest of this entry »
