Happily Ever After

Fashion
Feb 14, 20192 Comments

It’s Valentine’s Day and I am so excited about it this year. I know it is kind of uncool to like Valentine’s Day, but my husband and I absolutely love an excuse to spoil each other and reflect on our favorite memories together. Our wedding was just about a year and a half ago and was unquestionably the best day of my life. It’s not often a married woman gets to try on wedding dresses, so I was thrilled for this opportunity to try on these stunning dresses from the Après Ceremony Collection by WHITE by Vera Wang. Après is French for “after” and Vera Wang’s newest line for David’s Bridal is designed for your happily ever after. For dancing, toasting, and celebrating, the White by Vera Wang Après collection is for the wedding day and beyond. I can totally see wearing these for years to come afterwards.

I know from experience how incredibly hard it is to pick the dress for what will be one of the most special days of your life. It is a lot of pressure. The Après Ceremony collection from White by Vera Wang are absolutely classic, elegant, and relevant today. A total representation of why so many women dream of wearing one of her dresses for their big day. I picked out this two-piece set to wear, because I was enamored of the sequins strewn throughout the frothy tulle as a contrast to the clean sixties inspired bow-embellished shift worn underneath. Totally brilliant and perfect for the bride who wants to have some fun on her big day (this would make a great reception dinner look as well). The crossback dress is similar in effect and has an absolutely ethereal feeling to it. 

This strapless nude cocktail dress is so romantic and would be a gorgeous option for attending a spring wedding or as a reception look option. 

I completely fell in love with this stunning form fitting gown with its crystal-embellished bow t strap creating drama in the back. A train like this certainly makes a huge impact! So elegant and timeless.

Thank you White by Vera Wang and David’s Bridal for partnering with me on this post, I hope it gave you some great ideas if you or someone you love’s big day is around the corner! Happy Valentines everyone.
