They said/We said: Want to look like Kim on your big day? Vera Wang’s does Kardashian gowns for David’s Bridal

Comments

Our curiosities were uh, piqued last month when we saw the sneak peek of the Kim Kardashian­–inspired wedding gowns Vera Wang designed for budget bridal company David’s Bridal. In a move that brings multi-million dollar bridal fashion to the masses, Wang re-designed the three dresses she made for Kardashian’s wedding in September, and they’ll be sold for a mere fraction of the cost of the originals.

Bhldn: Saving bridesmaids everywhere

Comments

For a good swath of us, right now is bridesmaid season, which can be a trying time—if not as hilariously eventful as that of Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy. It’s those months leading up to summer when showers and bachelorettes have to be planned, decorations consulted upon and, of course, matching dresses bought. Unless your bride-friend is going the “just get a black dress” route (yeah right), this can be torturous exercise in body shape assessment, silhouette negotiation and perusal of thousands of geriatric satin numbers, many of which are composed of highly flammable fibres and aren’t lined properly. Need we mention that those will never be worn again?

Get the video play-by-play of Coco Rocha’s wedding

Comments


Coco Rocha‘s wedding to James Conran–a once secretive affair–has now been demystified, thanks to the internet and this video–a short film directed by Gilbert Le. What was the castle like? More importantly, what were the desserts like? How about the steaming of her wedding dress? Putting on her makeup? Vows? First dance? How about a score that includes Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”? It’s all there in this 18-minutes long for-die-hards-only peek. (There’s a 3:41 minute version for the casual observer at Oh So Coco.)
