Hello there, shoppers! Happy Valentine’s Day!
For any of you who recently got engaged — congrats, by the way, to my cuz and his oh-so-stunning soon-to-be-wife — or who may become betrothed a little later today, big news on the bridal gown front: Today is the highly anticipated launch of Anthropologie’s bridal line, BHLDN! Also, Vera Wang has launched a bargain line for David’s Bridal, White by Vera Wang! From what I’ve seen of both so far, amazing! As much as I love, love, loved my gown by Lazaro, like my friend Laura says, “It may be time for a re-commitment ceremony.”
BHLDN’s whimsical gowns will cost you $600 to $4,000, come in sizes 0-14, and may be ordered online (returns are available on unaltered dresses within 30 days) or via phone; standard shipping is just $10. Perhaps even more fun than the dresses, though, are the accessories, especially the hair adornments and the shoes!
White by Vera Wang gowns run $600 to $1,400 and are available by special order, in sizes 0-14, from select David’s Bridal stores including NoVA stores in Woodbridge and Springfield. Headwear and sashes are also included in the collection; bridesmaid gowns and shoes will be added later in the year, along with sizes up to 26 in select designs.
Happy shopping!
