One of the most gorgeous things about a wedding is texture. Whether it is the view from the ceremony, the building of the reception, or the floral arrangements, creating complimenting textures throughout the space makes for a totally gorgeous event.

I love that dresses are taking this same turn by creating an interesting an unique approach to the plain old white dress. Of course Vera Wang just hit the ball out of the park with these dresses. We saw this back with the Diana dress, and here she goes again with another line of multi-dimensional dresses. Oh how I would die to wear this.

J Crew started the whole “lets become a wedding shop” with their totally incredible line of dresses. Again, talk about texture and fabric choices that otherwise haven’t been seen all too often. Now we are awaiting Anthropologie’s new line and now have a variety of “department store” brands to turn to.

Who else is loving these totally unique textures? I actually purchased a dress that has a lot of texture and a lot of interesting components, so of course I am totally loving this. In all reality, it is much more couture, and I like couture.

And since no look is complete without an amazing pair of shoes, and I am a little wild in the style department, here are two pairs of Louboutin’s that would look phenom with these dresses.

Ok everyone! Now that I have finally (almost) found the venue, I am getting re-inspired by everything I can do with the space. But, I do have one more daunting task ahead of me. The Dress.

There are some amazing dresses out there, but let’s face it, a majority of the dress selection in the world is pretty hideous. I feel like this is going to be “venue search number 2″ because it is one thing that I refuse to waiver on, and I refuse to have not be perfect.

I’m hoping to just find a really good deal on a dress online without even having to deal with going actual dress shopping. I know what I want and I know what looks good on my body, but now it is just a matter of someone actually MAKING that!

So, if anyone finds a dress (or HAS one!) that looks similar to these styles, send them over! Oh and I am totally ok with the whole recycled wedding dress thing, so don’t be shy people!

THIS IS MY IDEAL DRESS! Srsly! If anyone has the hook-ups to this dress, I want it.

Other than that, I love the fabric of the one above. And I love how she is UBER skinny on top but it is still nice and full down below. It’s like a mermaid cut, but a little bit more full. Oh and always strapless!

In other news, I am SO excited about this venue meeting tomorrow.:) Just had to throw that out there.

Oh and in more other news, what are you guys looking at wearing?? What styles, fabrics, bodices, etc. etc???

Ahhhh the Vintage Tea Party. So simple, so chic and so classic. The colors and textures are so whimsical and fun. Just imagine something as classic as this in a venue such as an old barn or rundown field. The two opposites definitely know how to attract to create perfection. And those music sheet flower holders, I sense a DIY in my future!
