Beautiful.

My nine-year old self was in LOVE with this dress. Because hello, how hot are Stephanie Seymour’s gams?! (On a semi-related note, why did Axl Rose have to go and get cheek implants?? Yikes.)

My conservative-ish ceremony gown is en route, special delivery. But THIS little number would be yowza for dancing and milling about. Martini sleeves anyone? I can see myself sipping an extra dirty one now. Haha.

How great is this ivory crepe number?! Tassels AND a keyhole back?

I’ve started the task of trying to find, you know, the dress. With two appointments under my belt, and a slew of internet browsing hours, I’m realizing the bridal market is saturated with strapless numbers and poof. I happen to despise both.  

Below are some simple dresses with one of my favorite silhouettes, a deep scooping back. Unleash your dorsal fins on these beautes:

I tried on the Delphine (black & white photo above), but it left me looking more Princess Leia than 30s-inspired chic. Methinks it is suited for a more slim physique. Still a gorgeous gown.

Can we just chalk this whole mustache fad up to a 2007 trope and be done with it? If I see one more wedding with those stupid mustaches-on-a-stick, I am going to scream.
