Taboo....wearing white to a wedding???

So we've all heard you "can't wear white to a wedding!!!!"

Or that it's taboo and you'll upstage the bride. 

We'll we're changing this. 

We're actually inviting our guests to celebrate with us and join the bride and wedding party in wearing white that day...if you want. 

It was my beautiful bride-to-be's idea.  At first it started with picking our wedding colour.  We didn't really want a theme-y wedding and both love white because if its simplicity, so we chose that to be our colour.  Plus, Stacey wanted her girls all to look like mini-brides.  So all the girls, all my guys, our parents, along with us, will be in all-white attire that day.  We know this will look stunning in photos, but thought, why not extend this to our guests?  So if you love white and want to wear it that day too, feel free.  We encourage and invite you to.  No one will shun you.  I think we'll all know who the bride is that day.  Not too concerned about there being confusion because she's not the only one wearing white.  But of course, avoid wearing a bridal gown! LOL!  And this isn't a dress code or mandatory.  Just a suggestion.  Don't feel bad if you don't have, like, or want to wear white.  All good!

And just as an FYI, we thought about this all-white wedding attire way before this royal wedding.  But nice to see word travels and they decided to copy us...lol!

Kleinfeld

 

Another must stop in NYC is Kleinfeld.  I think everyone has seen the show on TLC "Say Yes to the Dress" and you can see this place has thousands of dresses.  I don't know how you go in there and not find something.  So for sure we check this place out during our wedding shopping weekend in NYC.  The wedding is still a ways away but it's never too early to start looking for that perfect gown.  And we figured, why not apply to be on the show?  It'll be fun!  So we'll see...

Pronovias

Stacey stumbled upon Pronovias awhile ago and has fallen in love with their collections.  She has scouted every dress ever made, from Vera Wang to Oscar de la Renta to Priscilla of Boston, and tons more.  Yeah, there are dresses in their collections that are beautiful, but it seems to be like one or two and they're just, well, nothing is really jumping out.  But Pronovias, consistently, has designs with such elegance, almost all of them are beautiful and really feel like a 'collection' in that there is a common design element or theme running through each gown each season.  Funny cause days after proposing in Paris, we flew to Amsterdam and then Barcelona, where Pronovias is from.  We were walking down the streets doin' some shopping when suddenly we see the flagship store.  We were like "What do we do!?"  The guy isn't supposed to see the dress...but we're in freaking Barcelona in front of the dresses Stacey's been eyeing for 3 seasons.  So we go in.  Obviously with no appointment so nothing was tried on, but it was something for Stacey to see the dresses in person rather than just online.  I think that really solidified the designer she was going to go with.  She'd look stunning in any of those dresses.

The plan is to go to NYC to the flagship store there.  We'll make it a weekend thing where our two families go down.  The girls go dress shopping and the guys go suit shopping.  Then we meet for lunch and shop together for shoes! 

But most def check out their site and their collection and see how incredible these pieces are.  They're so classic and Spanish, yet really modern and current. www.pronovias.com
