Shopbop has decided to join the trend and open a wedding shop. While many of the items are a bit unreasonable ($795 for a bridesmaid dress), I am so glad that people are opening their eyes to wearing dresses for bridal attire. The idea that you need to go and spend a fortune for a hideous dress just because it is deemed a bridesmaid dress is ridiculous. I love the idea of ordering off the rack and hope that this isn't a trend but changes the industry.
The Wedding Salon is heading to LA on Monday, March 21st. Information about attending the event is below! However, if you would like a chance to win tickets, head to the Honey Bee Weddings Facebook page for more details.
This past December, I had the amazing opportunity to work with Karen Hill. Based out of NYC, she and her husband were a true pleasure to work with at the Elysian for the most elegant wedding. The wedding is going to be featured in a magazine. We can't do a full blog post until it's published but here's a quick snapshot from Karen's blog.
As mentioned earlier this week, Kristen and Scott were recently featured in Brides Magazine. My first post highlighted Kristen and Scott's ceremony. My last post showed their reception photos.

I first met with Kristen about six months before her wedding. She and Scott are both from New Jersey but now live in Chicago. Since they had so many out of town guests, they selected a venue that was uniquely Chicago: Terzo Piano in the new Modern Wing at the Art Institute of Chicago.
Their wedding was also featured in Spring/Summer edition of Brides Chicago Magazine, on newsstands now. Read about it here.
All photos by Olivia Leigh. Getting beautiful before the ceremony. Sonia's brushes are so soft, having your makeup done is a rather relaxing experience.
Ready to go! Kristen's accessories were so fun and different. More on that later.
Walking down the aisle with her dad. This is a great shot of her dress, by Oscar de la Renta.
The deacon was the maid of honor's father, so the ceremony was very sweet and personal.
I loved these bridesmaid dresses by Vera Wang, and the girls did, too.
You have to laugh at the unexpected cameos you get when taking photos around the city!
Though we had some rain before the ceremony, I think the lighting is beautiful and dramatic.
Tomorrow, look for some photos from their fabulous reception.
