Favorite Wedding Dress Styles from CocoMelody

Shopping for THE dress is one of the most important decisions that brides-to-be had to make initially. Personally I can attest that it had me stressed out for a while. I wanted a custom design dress and I was very particular about what I wanted in my dress (I guess it is better to know what you want prior to shopping around in bridal shops). Thankfully, I was able to find a shop that was able to produce what I wanted at a reasonable budget. Aside from knowing exactly what dress style I wanted, I also had a budget in mind. I wanted to spend no more than $35,000 PhP (780 USD) for my wedding dress and thankfully I found one within that price range and I couldn't be happier. If you're still shopping for your wedding dress, you will not be disappointed with the CocoMelody. I've worked with this company before and I can highly recommend them to anyone who are still clueless about where to buy their wedding dress online.

For now, I can only reveal that I will be wearing a sweetheart neckline, strapless lace gown with a mermaid tulle skirt. Mermaid wedding dresses are fast becoming the go-to option for modern brides. Personally, what I love about this type of dress is the fitted design on the bodice to emphasize shape. The mermaid tail adds a sexy and glamorous detail to the dress. Here are a few of my favorites from the website:

If you are more of a traditional bride, you might be leaning more towards ball gown wedding dresses. Look like a princess on your big day. It is both feminine and fun! If I would have picked a ball gown for my own wedding, it would be any of these:

As a bonus, CocoMelody.com has this fantastic offer on all wedding dresses: 

If you were to buy your wedding gown, which would it be: mermaid style or ball gown wedding dress?

Eva Franco for Loverly

Since announcing our engagement to our friends and family, we've been hard at work trying to get things sorted out for the wedding plans. We just booked our wedding coordinator and their services would be of great help to ease off the stress from planning. But despite having a planner to help us out, we both prefer to be hands-on about every step of the planning so I cannot help myself if I want to get involved! 

One of the most exciting parts about the wedding planning process is choosing my dress. I am going to get mine custom-made. I took some inspiration from Monique Lhuillier's 2015 Bridal Bliss collection for my own wedding gown. I cannot wait to share the photos soon. But if you prefer something more modern with a hint of vintage, you need to check out the Eva Franco collection at Loverly. 

It is the best choice for modern brides who wanted to step out of the traditional wedding dress options. I've talked about champagne wedding dresses in the past and I've taken my own advice on this one. I am opting to have an ivory dress instead of the traditional white wedding gown. But I digress, the Eva Franco collection features amazing texture that highlight the fabric used and the amazing cuts of the dresses. Whether you are looking for a wedding gown or bridesmaid dresses, there is something to tickle your fancy. 

All of the designs also come with a touch of vintage inspiration. Hence, it is a good option for those who wanted to keep their look modern and dated without stepping too far off from traditional wedding styles. Browse below to see some lovely photos off of the Eva Franco collection:

Beach Wedding Dresses from TBDress.com

A beach wedding often comes to mind when you think about summer wedding. Personally, this is more like my kind of wedding. I am a self-confessed beach bum. And not forgetting to mention the fact that I have a low tolerance for cold weather. However, we're not here to talk about me so let us put that aside.

Beach weddings are such a fun event. It is a bit more casual than your usual wedding events. It is also more forgiving in terms of the dresses that guests wear to the occasion. The same is true with the bride's wedding gown. 

Choosing wedding dresses for beach can lean towards more on the casual-sexy styles. You can find a few of the selection here: http://www.tbdress.com/Cheap-Beach-Wedding-Dresses-3568/

Here are some cute styles that I spotted over at TBDress.com:

I do have a bias for strapless wedding gowns, I admit. But this particular dress has that sexy elegance about it. The front looks simple with minimal accents. But the back is what blew me away. It is open backed by the edges are lined with embellishments. Hence, it is not actually bare but it provides quite an alluring display. This is the kind of look that I envision is perfect for a beach wedding.

The A-line cut on this dress features the right combination of elegance and sensuality. The embellishment around the waist area also creates a visual illusion of shape and curve. But this dress reflects what I believe is an important component when choosing a beach wedding dress: it does not look all put together yet it exudes classic elegance.

Ball gown in a beach wedding? Some might think that it is a crazy idea, but when you have a dress that looks this good, why not? The tulle skirt and the elaborate detailing on the back make it look highly sophisticated. And yet, there is a cheerful vibe to the dress that makes it a good fit for a not so formal wedding setup.
