It's no secret between my friends and family that I'm dangerously behind on wedding planning (oops!). People are starting to get concerned and offering to do things for me. I feel a little guilty, but not much (life is BUSY this year). I like last minute planning and since my venues are secure I'm just planning to do everything in the last few months. I have a notebook full of sketches. Looking forward to it!
These dresses by BHLDN stopped me dead in my tracks. SO pretty. my favorite is the first one, by a lot! E P I C.

Love them all, the first one really caught my eye. If I could get married again (to my hubs :D) I’d love a dress like that.
I definitely like the top 2. I can’t wait for BHLDN to open! I really want to look at the shoes!
When is the wedding date?
my date is May 15th!
Love the cut out detailing and simplicity of the one on the bottom left. The colour of that first one is delicious and would really suit you. Oyster pink pearls and rhinestones/diamante combo would look fab!

I cannot WAIT to see the whole line!
love the last one.. so pretty!
I absolutely love the one on the bottom left, super pretty and femenine 🙂
The bottom left one. That is my wedding dress.. MUST. HAVE. IT!
love them all!! <3
they are all cuties!
I loooove the one with the black bow. Very feminine and edgy at the same time.

I just posted about BHLDN yesterday on Bubby & Bean!!! 🙂 Love the sneak peeks I’ve seen of their dresses – so inspiring.
And I too am so behind on wedding planning! My fiance being on the road for two months for his band’s winter certainly doesn’t help, but I just can’t seem to find the time. I don’t even have a venue yet!
Enjoy your Saturday!

I LOVED my wedding dress, but these would have been SO much fun to have as well!!! They are beautiful!
I like the second and the last! Awesome designs! xoxo
I went to the link you posted….ohmygosh!!! The dress with the butterflies stole my heart….maybe even a tiny bit of my soul! Makes me wanna get married to my hubs all over again! Although my dress was pretty bitchin! I had a teastain colored strapless dress, with a yellowish sash, and it went down to midcalf. I wore gold ballet flats and felt like the most beautiful woman in the world. We got married at an awesome old courthouse, that had all wooden seats…the county courthouse is wicked old and beautiful. We only had immediate family members…no more than seven people. Best day of my life!
me too elsie. me too.
I love the dresses, but don’t understand how URBN can get away with charging such outrageous prices for mass produced items. Hopefully the quality errs more on the side of Anthropologie vs. Urban Outfitters.
I am in-freaking-LOVE with that first dress… Like gotta-have-it in love… Like might-spend-my-student-loan-refund-on-it in love. Holy cowww.
I also fell in love! I blogged about it myself 🙂 http://misscabanas.wordpress.com/2011/02/09/to-die-for/
I love them all
But the 1st one is so so beautiful!
These dresses are divine! #3 is my favorite. I’d totally want to wear it on my wedding day.
Ps. I think it’s kinda healthy not to stress about your wedding too much! I’m sure it will be such a fabulous day for you both!

If I could pick my dress over again, that top left one would be my instant fav! If there is one day in your life where a statement dress is required, then your wedding day is that moment! Indulge. I insist! 😀
I love the first two, so perfect for an evening of jolly dancing! ^__^
AMAZING! What a great year to get married 🙂
No sweat! I did all the little stuff the last minute, too. Some people just function better under pressure 🙂
You would look great in that one!
wow, these are gorgeous!!!
Have you tried on many gowns? Will you be making your own?
I work at Altar Bridal in Kansas City, VERY simular style dresses. Check it out at
altar.com
good luck with all the last minute details!
and don’t freak out, I bought my dress 2 weeks before the big day!!

Oh I love the one with the black bow! Although I must admit my dress is closer to the second one but longer…
hey elsie,
I’m from Malaysia, and i love everything in your craft shop.

Love the last one! My dress has a similar shape–short in the front and long in the back. I’m having so much fun looking through your vintage inspired fashions and decorations. 🙂
oh yes! a friend showed this to me yesterday. really makes me want to have another wedding. is there such thing as a 3 year vow renewal?
haha, we are way behind on wedding planning as well. ivan’s mom and her boyfriend keep referencing this show call ‘wedding sos’ or something like that when talking about our wedding. haha, oh well, it will all get done!
and that second dress is super pretty. i am in love with tea length dresses.

Ohhhh my. Those are absolutely gorgeous. You’re right, that first one is breathtaking! Thanks for sharing these!
These dresses are DIVINE!!! I especially like the upper right hand dress!!!
Thanks for sharing!

Is it sad that I’d wear these vintage inspired dresses even if I’m not getting married? I’d the top right to go drop off mail! So pretty!!!
Ooohhhh I love the one with the black sash!
Want to marry right away!

I loooove the last one, butthen I’m a sucker for strapless
check 100layercake.com/blog… its my sisters blog 🙂 maybe you have seen it. good luck to all your wedding planning! it will be beautiful because you are so creative!
The first one makes me want to get married all over again – HEAVENLY!! Never worry – things get sorted out in time, it falls together x
Oh that first one is a dream come true! Makes me want to get married all over again (to the same guy of course!).
wow,beautiful dresses!
The first one is abosolutely divine! I love it!
Stunning! I love love love the last one! 🙂
You are going to look gorgeous in any dress you get! And I agree with the above comments about it falling into place! You will have a blast and it will be perfect:) I can’t wait to see pictures, and I sincerely hope you go on a honeymoon! I would love to guest blog for you while you are gone;)
I totally agree the first one is AMAZING… while I loved my vintage inspired 50’s tea length dress (in the middle of winter) I would have thought twice about one of these beauties!
Those dresses are stunning! I especially love the one with eyelet lace.
i’m nowhere near getting married yet, but i cannot wait to see the BHLDN collection. they look absolutely gorgeous!
LOVEEEE the one with the big, black bow… Seriously. Nothing says wedded bliss, like an accent piece….Amazing! Thanks for sharing Ms. Cakes! And no worries on your delayed wedding plans…I’m sure your future Mr. Hubaloo Larson will come to your aid when need be…

These dresses are magical! Hihi…I also like last minute planning. We arranged our marriage in less than three months!
Loving the first one as I’m not a big fan of bare shoulders. Very similar shape to my dress 🙂
O wow! These are SO beautiful! I love the two on the left, although all 4 are really pretty!
I would probably be a last minute weddingplanner too. Take it easy, it’ll all be fine and i’m sure your wedding will be fabulous! The most important thing is that your marriage is good… 🙂
wow! I love the all those are the perfect dresses
These are SO gorgeous! Makes me want to get married again!
oooo those are so pretty! I’ve always imagined a traditional long dress, but I really like the shorter styles you shared.
The third dress is my favorite!
Bottom left! Insanely gorgeous!!
Every one of those is lovely, especially the first and last. The last one reminds me {in a good way} of a cupcake or flower. How pretty!
take all the help you can get! i love helping with weddings and if you have people offering don’t feel guilty. they want you to have the best day ever and you should!
xo,
cb
wow! these would be amazing to photograph!! I hope I get an BHLDN bride!
i was the same way with wedding planning. ready or not here it comes!!
These are the first wedding dresses i haven’t groaned to look at
Thats my favourite too! Altho I love the long straight one too, they’re all gorgeous 🙂
Hi Elsie! Yes, I agree with the first one for sure. My husband and I eloped and got married on a bus! He asks me to marry him almost every day and we would love the vintage wedding. We’ve been married for almost 11 years. Time to renew, don’t you think??
love the top right!!
just like a fun playful, alice one!!
adore…

You should do a post of your wedding plan sketches!
Love the first one too especially, with that 1920ish head piece. Love the last too with the bow. Wow, they are all beautiful.
I feel this way 100%!!! I have not planned anything!!! I have found a dress! but no place yet!! I kinda feel like I’m letting my family down too! I just can’t find the time! hopefully I will soon!! Good luck to you too!!! Those dresses are amazing!
Such cute dresses!
Wow that first one is stunning. You really don’t need a whole lot of time to plan a wedding. Once you get going on it it all falls into place!
These are all very beautiful, I like very much
