Meg&Mac

Another Family Wedding....on October 8th Meghan became Mrs Mac and the family was there in full effect (Minus Jeff - we missed ya!) to celebrate....Sadly I did not catch many pictures of the boys - was too busy on the dance floor I suppose....few pics of the lovely ladies below...

The Day She Became LEPG

I'm such a proud friend - Style Me Pretty has a post featuring our dear friends the Grammers beautiful 2009 Charlottesville Wedding....see it here

Lauren has such elegant taste and the day was fun and personal in every way!

It was an honor to be a bridesmaid - and Lauren was thoughtful to let us choose our own Navy Blue dresses - as you can see below everyone was comfortable and beautifully coordinated for the big day...

One of our favorite Hanna photos was captured right outside that beautiful Tent....

Both our mothers love this one - captured by Ginny Boland

And most importantly we started "The Family" reunions that day...

"The Family" - you should see us "light it up...like its dynamite"

We have been blessed with such wonderful friends and feel so fortunate to share these major life milestones with such an amazing supportive group!  Love to the fam!

Anthro-wedding

Today was the day stylish twenty something brides have been waiting for....the launch of BHLDN - Anthropologie's wedding website....

First impression - not really that impressed - the wedding gowns are too outlandish for my taste and the bridesmaid dresses are mostly bubble style, odd colors, and way too expensive ($200-$1600)...

I suppose they are finding their niche in the marketplace - the unique playful bride who would not be caught in a traditional gown...

I did enjoy the wedding pictures from yesteryear - how cute are these brides....

Now if forced to pick a dress from the new site - I would select this cute tea dress and lace bolero (demure touch for the service)...they would be perfect for a summer backyard wedding....

For shoes - I do not think I'll ever find a pair I loved as much as the beautiful sapphire blue Marc Jacobs pair I wore last March - see below....(LOVE them!)

 But...if I had to choose a pair from BHLDN...I'd go with these lime green kicks....those 4" heels may sink into the grass - but the pop of celery would add a whimsical punch of color to the cute tea dress...

It will be interesting to see how BHLDN matures - will they stick with their contemporary styles? Expand into more traditional gowns?   Will they follow JCrew's example and open a boutique?  Many brides may find it difficult to "Say Yes To The Dress" without ever seeing it in person.....
