Love this idea... Who said bridesmaids have to wear dresses?  Skirts and cardigans are pretty cute!  And definitely rewearable.

I'm not normally one for strapless and I can't quite tell if this dress is strapless (and those straps are just for hanging) or if this has skinny straps, but either way, I'm loving the simple tiers of this dress.

I find myself drawn to lace.  I like the texture.  I also love how in every other way this dress is so simple.  Plus scoop back and not strapless!

Marisa J95 Couture Bridal Jacket Top

Love the idea of a lacy top over a more bare dress (like a strapless dress).  So classy.

Lily Strapless Floral Appliqué Party Dress

So maybe I'm crazy, but I wouldn't necessarily say no to a short dress.  Especially with a more casual beach wedding.  This one is so simple and pretty--Again, I love the texture.  I'm not really sold on strapless though.

Love this one.  Again, simple silohouette.  Interesting texture.  Scoop back.  Not sleeveless.  Gorgeous.

Wedding Inspiration: Cake

Albemarle Virginia is home.  Right in the middle of apple and wine country.  So how perfect and gorgeous is this cake?  I love its symplicity and how it ties right in to home.  I also love that I think it looks so elegant and yet could have been made by a friend--not a fancy bakery.  I also love that it looks like it's displayed on a big wooden cutting board or chopping block.  I think I'd have it be apple spice cake with white cream cheese frosting and, while they're cute (are they scrabble letters?  awesomely nerdy!) I'd probably leave the letters off the top.
