Gown of the Week: Elizabeth Fillmore

Elizabeth Fillmore’s 2012 bridal collection is equal parts daring and timeless. The dramatic designs speak of old Hollywood, while the use of fabric and carefully placed embellishments express Fillmore’s fearless nature. The Camilla gown’s A-line silhouette and elegant lace sleeves honor tradition, and remind us of a certain royal wedding gown worn last spring, but the exposed back and large floral lace neckline call to the indulgent and fashion-concious modern bride.

Weekly Wedding Links Vol. 18

Is it just us, or is January taking its sweet time? It seems like forever since the holidays, and yet the end of winter is certainly not in sight. And to make matters worse, the weather in New England has been wholly unpredictable. We’re totally ready for a sunny East Coast wedding season, and these yellow balloons (photographed by by Sarah Culver) helped remind us that it isn’t too far off. But for now, enjoy this collection of links from January’s final week…
