Camp Blodgett Nuptuials

Style Me Pretty features the most stunning weddings, but I was so happy to come across a beautiful wedding at our venue, Camp Blodgett! Looking at these photos got me so excited and anxious, the big day is not as far away as it seems.









What to do?

I've always had an eye out for a fabulous, slinky, old-Hollywood, bias cut dress. Like this one, a glamorous Jean Harlow wears.


I came across this gorgeous, vintage number at one of my new favorite stores, American Rag, while on our shopping trip in LA. The dress I dreamed of would have been grey or a soft, elegant color, however the one I actually bought is a cream color. I LOVE it and I figured, "hey, I'm a bride-to-be, I can wear it for something." It's very bridal, so I can't wear it to anyone else's wedding. It could potentially be a dress I change into for my reception, but I just don't think it fits my venue or my wedding and I really want to wear my real dress as long as possible.



Sadly we're not the kind of people that get invited to a lot of balls or galas, so what's a gal to do with a beautiful, white full-length gown? Any suggestions.

Ready for Rain

After two straight days of rain in New York (and more to come), I've been thinking...I'm already praying for sunshine a year from tomorrow in West Olive, Michigan, but you bet I'll be preparing for rain. While it is a major bummer for rain on your big day (though I hear it's good luck), especially if it's an outdoor wedding, as ours is, you can definitely find a rainbow behind the clouds. Umbrellas can add personality and color, rain makes a great story, and you may just have an actual rainbow, just look at the photos below.
