Fabulous Bridesmaid Attire that DOESN'T scream "I'm from a Bridal Shop!"

JS Boutique Embellished Dress $158 @ Nordstrom

I'm sure many of you who have been a Bridesmaid or Maid of Honor in the past, often times hear these words from the bride "I know the dress is $200, but just remember the best part is you can totally wear the dress again for another occasion!" -haha
"YeAhhhh Right!" is what many of you were thinking after you laid eyes on the hideous and stiff dress (in either a bright color or color you'd never choose to wear) that was picked out at the local bridal shop (also known as the cheesie bridal chain every other bride goes to based on the commercial deals). Well, if you've been following my blog I hope you've noticed that I steer clear from anything that looks like cheesie attire that most guests will be expecting to see walking down the aisle... This look is sure to impress as it looks more like something you'd see during a celebrity cocktail event. This time I am being completely genuine in saying "I truly believe this dress will be sure to get worn more than once by any bridal party" :) Remember to always keep très chic in mind~

Fabulous Wedding Accessories from Stella & Dot!

InspiredGal — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 06:00:00 PDT

I recently attended a home party, featuring Jewelry Designs by Stella & Dot. I wasn't sure what to expect... I happen to not usually be a fan of the home shopping parties, only because i don't like making people feel pressured to buy (even though i happen to be a mary kay consultant - which i love! i just am not a fan of pressuring). Anyway, I attended the party and immediately fell for all the cute jewelry and accessories from Stella & Dot! From their fabulous display, incredible products, and right down to their adorable packaging!! I just had to share this fantastic find with all my Brides out there; be sure to check out the Stella & Dot Website where you can order online! Thanks to my cousin Sarah (the hostess) and the oh so wonderful Stella & Dot Stylist: Michelle Bouras for turning me on to Stella & Dot!

There are so many on trend pieces in their current collection that are just perfect for your wedding day look. I even purchased myself the "Glint Flower CZ Earings" that were recently featured in InStyle Weddings Magazine (I've already gotten so many compliments already)!! Check them out here:

I think this incredible pearl and metallic necklace below would be so amazing paired with a strapless gown and some simple earings and this timeless bracelette below - what a stunning look!
