I’m not by any means a shopaholic. But there are certain shopping experiences I value highly, and one of those is Anthropologie. Maybe it’s because we don’t have a location in Vancouver yet (which would be dangerous!), so I’m always on vacation and in a good mood when I go there. But that store really is a treat for the senses, and because the clothes are just a little more than I would usually spend, I consider each visit a gift to myself rather than just another day at the mall.

So if there was ever a day to deserve something special, it’s your wedding day.  Anthropologie’s just released their new wedding collection BHLDN. (read: Beholden) The gowns are so deliciously vintage inspired…don’t even get me started on the shoes and headpieces! The best part is, you get the feel of a high-end looking couture gown, but at a more reasonable starting point of $1200.

I absolutely love their boleros. Boleros are such a great piece to pair with your strapless dress, so versatile. What I love about the whole collection, is the pieces are so feminine and yet effortless.

Sadly most of my friends are already married, so I don’t see myself purchasing a gorgeous taffeta bridesmaid dress anytime soon. If it wasn’t for all the kneeling in mud and lying on the ground for the perfect shot, I’d be tempted to purchase one of these beauties for my summer weddings this year. What I may have to do instead is just show up ridiculously overdressed at my next potential client meeting!

Looking forward to seeing some of my ladies in BHLDN this year! And if I do, I apologize in advance for spending the whole day drooling over your dress.

Sarah & Rob’s Fall Wedding

July 27th, 2010

Tweet Wow…This post is long overdue. Sarah & Rob ‘s wedding was the last one I shot before my “mat leave” (which in the self employed world just means ‘too pregnant to keep shooting’). I’ve been jumping all over the place with blog posts lately, but it’s time to get back on track chronologically with [...]

 

Wow…This post is long overdue. Sarah & Rob ‘s wedding was the last one I shot before my “mat leave” (which in the self employed world just means ‘too pregnant to keep shooting’). I’ve been jumping all over the place with blog posts lately, but it’s time to get back on track chronologically with Sarah & Rob.

These two are SO much fun, and not surprisingly their friends and family were too. Sarah put so much work into making this day reflect who they are, and it showed. From the birdcage veil (yay!) to the Art Deco fonts and carefully restored vintage cake topper, no detail was overlooked.

Each of the guys had cufflinks specific to their personalities, and gorgeous hand-screenprinted ties. (I was even inspired to order one for David)

My favourite way to get over nervousness about being photographed? Gotta laugh it out.

What a beautifully designed/worded ceremony program.

I absolutely love the flabbergasted “We’re actually married now!” look that often ensues.

Time for a few more “formals”.

What a fun day. From the looks of it, your guests would agree too:
