After all the fuss surrounding the so-called "Wedding of the Century" of the brand new Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, I wasn't exactly sure what new perspective I could possibly bring to the table. But, after watching the ceremony (like, 8 times) I've decided to keep things simple and just discuss the things I loved best. I had set my alarm for 3am, but slept right through it. Luckily I left the tv on and woke up abruptly to the sound of horns announcing the bride's procession and panicked when I thought I missed the whole thing. However, I was just in time to watch Kate's live decent down the long red aisle in Westminster Abbey and was mesmerized while I groggily watched the elegant, yet surprisingly warm and natural ceremony unfold. There are so many things I loved and here are some of the highlights.</div>

Like most of you, I couldn't wait to see what Kate chose to wear on her big day. I spent a lot of time trying to imagine what route she would take. A simple sheath? A Cinderella ball gown? A style that I'd never even heard of before? The first thing I saw in my sleepy, panicked state was her flawlessly fitted lace bodice and breathed a sigh of relief because I knew she'd nailed it. I was even more thrilled when I found out that Sarah Burton, the replacement creative director at the late Alexander McQueen's fashion house, designed Kate's two gowns and her sister, MOH Pippa's, gown as well. Kate's first dress was a perfect combination of classic royal inspiration (Princess Grace, anyone?) and modern details. Burton created the pleated skirt to resemble a blooming flower and added padding (a <b>very</b> McQueen touch) to the hips to create a stronger hourglass silhouette. Her second dress was simple, elegant, and looked comfortable enough to party into the wee hours of the morning. Pippa looked lovely as well and wore her bias cut sheath flawlessly. I'm so glad Kate chose the late McQueen's successor to create her looks and I think Ms. Burton did a great job filling such big shoes.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">It's kind of random, but I absolutely loved the trees inside the Abbey. Even without them, the nearly 1,000 year old church is still incredible, but the trees added an element of warmth to the otherwise cavernous space.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I've read some criticism, saying Kate had a bit of a heavy hand while applying her wedding day makeup, however, it totally disagree! Is she wearing more than she normally wears? Sure, but she's also wearing a couture gown and an antique diamond tiara, things she also doesn't normally wear.</span></div>

I also felt there was some ill-deserved critisism toward Victoria Beckham's ensemble. Some felt the her trapeze dress was dowdy and boring, but I though it was a refreshing departure from the sea of buttoned-up suits and jackets. And Mr. Beckham looked dapper as usual in Ralph Lauren. </div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I don't really have a photo for this one, but I switched back forth between coverage yesterday. My favorite broadcast was on the BBC channel because they showed their enthusiasm without losing their calm. Some of the other programs I tuned in to tending to get a little obnoxious ("There she is!

With the exception of this outrageously long winter (at least here in Chicago, anyway), I feel like the last year has <i>flown</i> by. I can't believe that it's already been a year since my sister (you all know her as <a href="http://etherealbride.blogspot.com/search/label/Lindsay-the-Floral-Designer">Lindsay-the-floral-designer</a>) gave me the idea to start writing a blog as a creative outlet and also as a way to maybe make some extra cash. I had absolutely no clue that it would become something that would have nearly 100,000 page views by people in over 100 different countries in only a years time. For some, that may not seem like much, but to me it's honestly mind blowing considering before this endeavor I had no clue how a blogging platform even worked. For my birthday post, I've decided to do another list-y post similar to the one I did for EB's 6 month anniversary. Once again, I'm going to give you my top ten posts of all time and additionally the ten countries with the most site visits and also my five favorite posts. So please enjoy and thank you all again, because without my amazing readers, this site wouldn't exist!!</div>

It's so interesting to look at movie brides over the years and see how much has changed and how much that really hasn't. Who wouldn't want to wear a stunning early 1930's bridal ensemble like Mae Clarke's above?</div>

I'm so thrilled that this post is so popular! I would have never thought that an inspiration board based on an obscure Degas painting would be so well received. I have a print of it hanging on my bedroom wall that my mom bought at the Degas exhibit at The Met in 1989 and it continues to inspire me everday. I'm so happy I shared it with all of you.</div>

This post has over seven times the views of the previous post, which is kind of insane. As I said previously, Queen Victoria is responsible for a large majority of that traffic, however, Melania Trump (above, in her showstopping Dior Haute Couture gown) has actually taken over as the biggest keyword for this post. </div>

Since I used to be a bridal consultant at a local salon in a previous life, I wanted to put some of my knowledge to use. Shopping for a wedding gown can be a new and frightening experience for some brides, so it helps to have some information before actually getting out there and shopping. </div>

One of my readers asked if I could do a post on seasonal color inspiration and I happily obliged. This post was super time consuming to write but also really, really fun. </div>

I found that when I was a bridal consultant, many customers, through no fault of their own, didn't understand the difference between all the fabrics, materials, and textures. I took the opportunity to write a post making sense of all the different fabric options out there, hopefully clarifying some of the jargon for confused brides.</div>

Veils are another tricky part of completing your wedding day look. There are so many different options and choosing the right style isn't easy. I created this guide, using styles from Sara Gabriel, in order to illustrate my definitions.<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>

As you all have probably figured out by now, I am a big advocate for making your wedding special and unique. Choosing your colors in relation to your personal style is a great way to incorporate your individuality into your inspiration. I've taken eight different personal styles and created color palettes to fit. Enjoy and let me know in the comments which ones are your favorite and which personal style categories I should include next time!!</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I'm not going to lie, I did a little dance when I discovered this engagement shoot by Connecticut/New York-based photographer <a href="http://natashamontero.com/">Natasha Montero</a> in my inbox. One the things I love most about this job is getting to witness the incredible creativity demonstrated by couples, photographers, and everyone else involved. </span>This one is no exception, featuring the couple in a Fellini-inspired shoot based on his 1960 film, La Dolce Vita. I love everything about these photos- from the inspiration (you all know how much I love the 1960's!) to the genuine sensuality between the couple, and I'm so thrilled to be able to share it with all of you. Here is what Natasha had to say:</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
Courtney and Miguel are planning a 2011 wedding in Connecticut, plus a
honeymoon trip to Italy, so we shot an e-session shoot focused around the
1960's Italian film "La Dolce Vita" and it’s most famous scenes. With that being said, their plans may be put on hold
for a bit as Miguel is currently stationed with the Army in Afghanistan.
With the help of their wedding planner, we thought it would be fun to
temporarily bring “Fellini’s Italy” to them for their engagement session
while Miguel was home on leave for two weeks. We styled the shoot as
mod, retro, and vintage as possible as an ode to the film. Plus, Courtney
looks strikingly similar to Anita Ekberg, the films iconic star, which
was an awesome coincidence!<br />
<br />
We tried to capture the essence of Italy, and the vintage feel of the
60's, even though we happened to be shooting in classical New England.
We had Italian pastries, espressos, Italian newspapers, and we even borrowed an old Alpha Romeo
convertible! Nothing screams “love” more to us than cannoli, black
ray-bans, skinny ties and Italian sports cars!</div>

So, wonderful as they are, the holidays are a giant time bandit! I have decided that rather than write a bunch of mediocre posts, I'm going to put The Ethereal Bride on hiatus just til after the New Year. This way I can come back to you rested and better than ever! I also have some new site design changes in the works, so look for that in the not-so-distant future as well. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and I'll see all of you next year!!</div>

Kellie and Dave were recently engaged in July at his family's cabin in Wisconsin after dating for 3 <span style="font-size: x-small;">1/2</span> years. Their photographer, <a href="http://ashleybiess.com/">Ashley</a>,
attended Augustana College with Dave and they knew she would be a
perfect fit for their engagement shoot and wedding. Since they are
planning on a October 2011 wedding, they chose to do the shoot at
Jonamac Apple Orchard in Malta, Illinois in order to stay consistent
with their autumn theme. The orchard provided a variety of backdrops
including a pumpkin patch, cornfield, and, of course, an apple orchard.
Since it had rained the night before, the location was really muddy and
by the end the couple was covered in it! Can't wait to
feature their wedding next fall and see what gorgeous, creative photos
Ashley and the couple create!</div>

Kirralee and David's wedding was a perfect combination of understated elegance and laid-back, beachy style. Despite great organization and planning by the couple, nothing could have prepared them for the worst storms in forty years hitting their area the day before the wedding! When Kirralee's taxi driver looked out the window on the rainy morning of her wedding, he told her she was crazy for planning on getting married on the beach later that day. However, Kirralee's confidence was boosted while she was getting ready when she received a bouquet of red roses and a romantic love note from her groom to be. Her make up was done by Annette, an highly creative and professional make up artist from <a href="http://www.palmmdesign.com.au/">Palmm Designs</a>. Her <a href="http://www.angelamarcuccio.com.au/index.htm">Angela Marcuccio</a> gown was silk satin with french lace, and she wore it with the opal brooch her grandmother wore at her own wedding in 1949. Her bridesmaids wore beachy, multi-colored dresses from <a href="http://www.review-australia.com/">Review</a> because Kirralee "didn't want the formal block colored normal dresses". The bride and her maids were transported to the ceremony site in a black Daimler limousine.</div>

Fortunately, after a gray, rainy morning the sun came out and the couple was able to proceed with their Brighton Beach ceremony. As Kirralee walked down the beach in her bare feet with her parents at her side, she "couldn't have been a happier woman! How lucky I was to be marrying the love of my life!" Jane Clifton married them in a beautiful ceremony with their closest family and friends. Jane was a down to earth and funny celebrant. She wrote a personalized ceremony, and it was something the couple says they will remember forever. Their vows were very personal and also involved a beach theme. </div>

Following the ceremony, the wedding party and guests partied at the <a href="http://www.middlebrightonbaths.com.au/Default.aspx">Brighton Sea Baths</a>. The staff gave them the most outstanding and professional service. Instead of one large cake, they chose beach themed cupcakes from <a href="http://www.thecupcakekitchen.com.au/">The Cupcake Kitchen</a>, where Anna provided professional service and, of course, delicious cake. Her invitations were very important to her and she spent hours making ones that looked like beach huts, in keeping with her theme. Being a creative person, Kirralee also had lots of ideas on how she wanted their reception to look. <a href="http://www.amosandsmithstylists.com.au/gallery/4">Amos and Smith</a>, florist and stylist, did the most amazing job. Everyone commented on how amazing the reception was styled. According to Kirralee, "it is all the small details that make the difference".</div>

It takes a lot of courage to wear something other than white (or ivory or diamond white or pearl) on one's wedding day. So when I saw this Stephanie James Couture confection I sort of fell in love. It's bold not only in color, but also in cut- long in the back, short in the front? Yes, please! Paired with a birdcage veil and lipstick red pumps, this is perfect way to make a big statement on your big day!</div>

What do you think of this gown? Think it's couture perfection? Think it looks like she rolled around in a fabric remnant bin? Let EB know in the comment section!!</div>

Although I couldn't re-post all the photos from this editorial- they were mildly scandalous and I don't know if my grandma will one day figure out how to go online and ready this- I am able to show you a few. Also, random side note: Rosie, the model featured, is Megan Fox's replacement in the third Transformers movie!</div>

The other day I was strolling through my local Von Maur when these sparkly beauties caught my eye! My love of glittery shoes goes way back to when I was 3 and was obsessed with The Wizard of Oz. I actually told people my name was Dorothy. And yet, for some reason my mom dressed me as the wicked witch for Halloween. But I digress... Basically I can't help but love anything covered in glitter and these have the added bonus of somehow still looking classy. Because the color and style are fairly conservative, they can get away with all the sparkle. How cute would these be on your wedding day?? </div>

<span style="font-size: small;">In keeping with a similar theme to their engagement shoot, Carley and Jordan continued with the vintage-y inspiration. Carley said, "I wanted a black and white wedding as I love vintage inspired
things and wanted to keep it simple. My inspiration pretty much just came from
the dress." It was a daytime wedding and had a very European feel. They even had croquet in the yard of the venue. How fun!!</span></div>

Not that I'm hating on tiaras or anything, they can also be really pretty, but you know me, I'm all about thinking outside the box. Here are some equally as gorgeous hair accessories that dare to be a little different...</div>

Those of you who know me know I draw a huge inspiration from dark, moody color palettes and vintage styles. So it should come as no surprise that I've created a style icon inspiration board based on silent film stars. My final college collection was inspired by 1920's couture and Tim Burton films, so I've included two of the designs in the board because they fit so well. I know the mood is very dark and not for everyone's taste, but I find it gothically romantic and fitting with current trends (vampires anyone?) Part of what appeals to me about this era is that it was one of the first times in history where women were finally allowed some freedom in their appearance, as well as their attitudes. Unfortunately the great depression hit and everyone had to reign in their newfound attitude and style to fit the somber mood of the day. But for a short while, these female were able to let their hair down (or in most cases, just chop it off) . They were confident bad girls and they owned it!</div>

Two Fridays ago I began a five part series of posts helping you find gowns
that will flatter your body type most. This week I am going to focus on
the "wedge" shape. Like I said before, the key to
flattering any body type isn't necessarily about "masking
your flaws", it's more about creating balance. Once you figure out
which body type you have, you can then find ways to balance your figure,
making it look more proportioned. Because every figure is different,
these posts are meant to act as a guide, not a list of hard-fast rules.
Once you start trying on gowns, utilize your consultant because she
will be able to find gowns that will look great on your specific
figure. Remember, these are just to help get you started, if you love a
dress and it doesn't fit these rules, try it anyway! You never know
how it will look until you try it on!<br />

<b>What is a wedge shape?</b> A wider shoulder and (typically) larger bustline, compared to a narrow waist and hipline. It is also known as the "T" shape. </div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;">
<b>How to flatter a wedge shape:</b> Create the illusion of fuller hips in order to balance out a larger upper half.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;">
<b>Some styles to try</b>: Sweetheart necklines, subtle mermaids, a-lines, scoop necks, wide v-necks, simple bodices paired with more elaborate skirts</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;">
<b>Some styles to (possibly) avoid:</b> Halters, narrow sheaths, racerbacks, straight across strapless necklines, dramatic mermaids</div>

These dresses that I'm going to feature this week will pretty much flatter a wedge shaped bride of any height, including petites. If you are petite, just remember to avoid anything that has to full of a skirt or you'll risk looking overwhelmed by fabric.</div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
These two styles above are great for plus sized wedge shapes because the ruching around the waist creates a slimmer waist, the a-line balances out broad shoulders, and cap sleeves and sweetheart neckline are minimizing.</div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
This style is great because the deep v-neck minimizes broad shoulders and the flared skirt balances them out. It also shows off slimmer hips really nicely.</div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
This is a great mermaid/trumpet style option for wedge shapes. Overly dramatic mermaid styles can make wedge shaped brides look out of proportion, but this one is subtle enough where it is flattering. </div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
Gowns with simple bodices and eyecatching skirts are also a great idea for wedge brides because they draw the eye away from the larger part of the body. This specific gown is probably too overwhelming for petite brides, but the concept still works. Just find a skirt that is less poofy. </div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
This is another great gown for plus sized wedge shapes but is equally flatter one other wedges as well. </div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;">
<b>Key Points to Remember:</b></div>
<ul style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<li>Scoop and v-necklines are super flattering. </li>
<li>Halters and racebacks make shoulders look more broad, so stay away from them.</li>
<li>Stick to styles with simple bodices and eye catching skirts.</li>
<li>Subtle mermaids and trumpet styles are really flattering, dramatic ones typically are not.</li>
</ul>

Once again, EB's Australian photographer friend <a href="http://capturedweddingmoments.com.au/">Kirralee Ashworth</a> has submitted another gorgeous wedding! This one features adorable couple, Tom and Beth, who were married just a few months ago. </div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
According to Kirralee, "Beth and Tom were married under a marquee at the back of the Anthelstane House. As Beth walked down the aisle with her dad, she gave the tulips from her bouquet to her closest friends and to her mother and mother in law. By the time she reached her husband to be she didn't have a bouquet anymore. It was very beautiful and had all of her friends in tears. The ceremony was taken by Remi Messenger and it had lots of beautiful, personal touches. The flowers and decorations were put together by Beth and her family and friends. Creative photos and family photos were taken before the ceremony. Straight after the ceremony, Tom and Beth joined their guess for a cocktail party inside the Anthelstane house. Instead of having the usual wedding cake, Tom and Beth had a big cheese platter." Uh <b>yum</b>!!! Tom and Beth were married on July 31, 2010. Tom's "best woman" was Janet and Beth's "man of honour" was John. </div>

I pretty much love everything about Crystal Renn. The curves! The brows! The story! What's not to like?? Basically, in a nutshell, she's an all-American girl who became an unsuccessful skinny-minnie model and then became a plus-sized model phenomenon! Her memoir, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Hungry-Appetite-Ambition-Ultimate-Embrace/dp/1439101248/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1287716504&sr=8-1">Hungry</a>, was a really inspiring and eye-opening read, and I pretty much feel that you all run (RUN!) to your library and read it! Now!! Here is an editorial featuring the bombshell in all her healthy glory. Enjoy!! And seriously, read her book!!!!</div>
