Now days it seems as though Strappless Wedding Gowns are all the rage and tend to be the first dresses to catch a brides eye. But for more traditional Brides who want to have a comfortable slight strap or sleeve, here are some fabulous style options to choose from.

By far one of my favorite looking gown that has elegant and glam straps. The dress is big enough for a princess feel, but still sleep and simple

Kim Kardashian's Wedding this weekend!

We're all pretty sure that Kim won't be sporting her mother's (Kris Jenner) Wedding Dress... If any of you Brides out there are a fan of the reality show "Keeping up with the Kardashians" or if you're just interested in seeing the lavish details the celeb duo decide on... We're hearing a lot of buzz and speculation as to how the upscale wedding will pan out~

{Sheknows.com reports that 'the event will take place this Saturday. Word has emerged that guests -- including Justin Bieber -- will be in attendance. However, don’t waste your time looking for ceremony snaps from those inside: we’re told guests will have to go through a metal detector and possibly go through a TSA-style rub down before getting in. Why? Because Kardashian and Humphries have sold the rights to the wedding photos to People for a cool $3 million and it will be televised on an E! special.

Of course, Kim Kardashian’s wedding dress is being designed by Vera Wang -- and sister Kourtney Kardashian revealed that the bridesmaid dresses are going to be green. So, is she freaking out? "Everyone says that you freak out, but I think all my freak-out moments happened at the beginning when we decided to get married this summer," Kardashian told E! News. "That's when you're like, 'When and where?!' So once all those decisions were made...Like this week I've been really calm."

Except for the part where she’s traveling cross-country pretty much every day. "Last night I took the red-eye at midnight, landed at eight in the morning in New York, ran to Vera Wang for a dress fitting at 10 a.m., then left at noon on another flight out," she added. "I spent like eleven hours on a plane just to spend three hours in New York." Sounds exhausting. What about her hubby-to-be -- how is he holding up? "He's pretty involved," she added of Humphries. "I think from the start he made it really clear that he wanted to be involved. I mean, I think a wedding is definitely for a girl. There's a lot of girly things, but we made sure I incorporated him a lot."}

{According to reporter "Naught but Nice Rob" of huffingtonpost.com, 'Kathie Lee Gifford let it slip that she will be attending Kim Kardashian’s wedding this Saturday. But the generous invite came with some pretty strict instructions -- guests have been told to wear black or white, with no exception. The strict requirement furthers the speculation that Kardashian will not be saying ‘I Do’ in a similarly white gown.}

With Kim, Vera, & the gals in her immediate family being the only possible ones to know what her wedding dress will look like; These are some possible styles I imagine her to wear on her big day... We'll have to wait and see what Vera has created for her once the wedding is aired on E this weekend!! Stay tuned for the official details

Annnd... We're Back! Thank you for your patience and I hope you enjoy our return~ I highly recommend starting your wedding design planning with a pattern or specific fabric to start brainstorming your Dream Wedding Ideas in an organized way. By choosing a pattern that has a minimum of 3 set colors, it will help you incorporate each detail to flow well throughout your design. The Look above was inspired by the fabric and brought the design and colors to life in this look, just as it can in your wedding day look. I just love when there is a pattern or emblem throughout a wedding's design; a great example of this is to incorporate the same pattern in the invitations and carried out in a subtle way in the day of elements. Enjoy today's Fabric Inspiration!
