Heart eyes for the lace, tulle, and fringe of this bohemian dress collection

Heart eyes for the lace, statement sleeves, and fringe of this dreamy bohemian dress collection (& a pop-up shop event in NYC!)

The last time we featured some of the fabulous wedding gowns from our partner CocoMelody, y’all went wild. Their collections of ready-to-wear and custom styles (made to fit YOU!) are colorful, diverse, super well-made, and available in extensive sizes. It’s that super rare dress source that actually gets offbeat readers. Let’s peek at their Bohemian Nomad Collection which is making me swoon with romance meets modern meets laid-back meets gorgeous dress bliss.

Holographic Mermaid Wedding Dress

This holographic mermaid wedding dress is blowing my mind (and giving me fins!)

Researching dresses can yield fab rewards. Such was the case when I spied this mermaid fantasy of a gown from KMKDesigns. I love a dress that can be re-worn in general, but when it can be reworn as a costume, for a super glam ball, or any fancy dress party, it’s a win. It’s made of holographic vinyl and pearlescent organza with approximately one zillion hand-sewn iridescent sequins and pearls.

Sharing the wealth of my window shopping for the perfect wedding shoe clips to jazz up my shoes

Sharing the wealth of my window shopping for fun wedding shoe clips

I ended up having a bit of trouble finding wedding shoes that I loved. It then dawned on me that I’d been touting the merits of shoe clips for ages and forgot that they might just be the ticket for adding some fun to my wedding flats.

Grab your favorite pair of shoes (flats, heels, loafers, boots… all can rock clips!) and get to accessorizing your feet…

Floating candles, cloaks, & a patronus cake at this mystical Harry Potter-inspired wedding inspiration

When I imagine all the things I’d want to see in a Harry Potter-inspired wedding inspiration shoot, I imagine floating candles from the Great Hall, quotes from the books and films, magical cloaks (or at least magical-looking!), tiny details like horcruxes and snitches, a gorgeous themed cake… and oh wait. That’s what THIS shoot is all about!
