As far as we’re concerned, if you’re going to do a bridal collection, do something to make it just a tiny bit interesting. That’s why Vera Wang is synoynmous with high-end bridal wear; because, love the results or hate them, she always does something interesting with it....

Poof. There it is.   As with most Bridal discussions, we tend to step aside and let the brides, potential brides and former brides weigh in with their thoughts. We will say that this is a surprisingly restrained collection from Marchesa, with little of the over-the-top princess...

Nicole sez: “I am inspired by the different types of brides—and weddings—I have been seeing lately. I designed dresses for each type, including the traditional bride, the modern bride, the feminine bride, the boho bride—each dress speaks to a different style, while keeping true to the...

The undisputed master of bridal released her Fall 2013 collection and once again, we’re turning the discussion over to the ladykittens. It’s not that we can’t look at these dresses and form opinions, it’s just that we have absolutely no feel for what women want or look...

Darlings, here’s your pretty of the day; the Marchesa Fall 2013 Bridal Collection. We tend to stay out of the bridal discussions and turn them over to our readers because it’s not really our thing or our world. Have at them, ladies. But before you do, we’ll let Marchesa have...

Darlings, after a day of assessing sweaty, frantic attention-whoring stars at Comic-Con, we’re in desperate need of some simple, old-school pretty to close out the day. Weddingbells magazine? You betta WERQ. Dress, Lucian Matis. Earrings, Fabrice. Ring, Carole Tanenbaum Vintage...

We’re not gonna lie. Sometimes you just hit the wall when it comes to writing about bridal collections; especially if you’re not bridally oriented (e.g, us). That’s when a really fabulous press release comes in handy: “The collection takes inspiration from one of the...

Darlings, you can’t be bridal’d out yet, can you? There are still THOUSANDS* of poufy white gowns to look at! This collection is fairly traditional, but it offers just a teeny bit of glam and modernity to the mix. Although we’d be hard-pressed to call opera gloves modern. On...

Darlings, here’s your pretty for the day, assuming you haven’t completely overdosed on bridal-based pretty lately. We’re the very last people in the world for whom the word “bridal” really holds any personal connotations, but we always find it interesting the...

Darlings, here’s yet another bridal shot of pretty to end your day. What can we say? It’s bridal season. This may be the most traditional collection we’ve shown yet; a lacey, romantic succession of princess gowns very much in the Monique Lhuillier mode. Enjoy the pretty. And...

Darlings, here’s your pretty for the day – and if you don’t think it’s pretty, we don’t know how to help you. We LOVE this collection. Of course we would. Carolina took her inspiration from the legendary photographs of Cecil Beaton and the resultant looks are...

Darlings, here’s your pretty for the day: Vera Wang’s all-red bridal collection, for whores and jezebels. Oh, we’re just teasing. Actually we love and support the movement to take the bridal look away from its paternalistic, judgmental, sex-phobic origins of labeling women...

Darlings, here’s your low-key pretty for the day: the Marchesa spring 2013 bridal collection. That’s right; we said “low-key.” Oh sure, there’s some poofiness on display but nothing approaching the poofstravaganzas the brand is known for. Instead, the lines are...

Darlings, here’s your gorgeous for the day: the Oscar de la Renta spring 2013 Bridal Collection. Many kittens will be happy to see that, unlike a lot of bridal collections in recent years, this one isn’t just an endless succession of strapless gowns. There are straps! And even...

More pretty, white, princess-y dresses for women whose arms are always hot. We don’t know why picking out a wedding dress is so hard for you ladies. There’s only like 4 variations to choose from. So long as you go into it knowing that no one will allow you to cover your arms and...

Darlings, what better way to spend your afternoon break than by ragging on some bride-to-be’s choices in the bridal department? It’s what we’re all about here, isn’t it? Criticizing everyone else’s choices? It’s good for the skin. We thought this collection...

Wow, is Vera Wang in a bad mood or what? Because this is one depressing set of supposedly bridal looks. We support any attempt to yank the bridal conversation away from virginal whites and princess fantasies, but we’re not sure there’s a market for looking depressed or like a...

As always with the Bridal collections, we’re just putting this one out there for discussion. We’re, quite obviously, neither the market nor really the “audience” for this kind of collection and we find that the ladies will always have far more firmly held (and...
