The Perfect Little White Dress

Two weeks ago, I posted a roundup of my favorite blush pink dresses (read here), and I had a request from a friend of mine who is engaged to do a refresh of an old little white dress post (read here). I’m sharing twenty-four of my favorite ‘little white dress’ finds in a number of price points, ranging from this gorgeous Forever21 dress, which costs $35, to this fun, perforated Chloe dress at $589. Also, I slipped in a romper and two maxis, which aren’t really ‘little white dresses,’ but they belong in the roundup!

When you’re engaged, there are a number of occasions to wear a white dress besides your wedding day. Couples showers, engagement parties, bachelorette parties, bridal luncheons, rehearsal dinners, etc. – the list goes on. I recently rewore a shower dress at Isla’s Christening, and I wore every white dress I own during our honeymoon to Bali. They’re handy items to have on hand!

Dinner, Drinks and Jazz – Rehearsal Dinner Invitations

The geniuses at Papellerie are at it again – designing by far the coolest rehearsal dinner invitation I’ve ever seen (does anything else even compare?). When I saw these gorgeous New Orleans themed invitations on their website, I died. They are perfect. I love the box, the whiskey, the recipe, and the invitation. How impressive is this? There must have been a lot of very happy recipients!

Our Rehearsal Dinner

Our Rehearsal Dinner was on Thursday, July 18 at Gundlach Bundschu – we invited our bridal party and family to the dinner, then opened the event up to all guests for drinks at the end of the night. I honestly couldn’t have envisioned a better way to start the wedding festivities. I got to meet some of Sasha’s extended family for the first time and saw some of our Scottish friends whom I haven’t seen in years. A very relaxed evening and a perfect segue to the Big Day.

Wedding Stationery Crush

We’re having our invitation design review on Friday + I’m like a kid in a candy shop – so excited. I went to Oh So Beautiful Paper the other day + spotted the most gorgeous wedding + rehearsal dinner stationery by Jay Adores Design Co. Are they not incredible? I super love the packaging. Then, I snooped + found their Save-the-Dates. Also amazing. Huge paper crush right now.
