What We Loved This Week: September 2 – September 8

Birdy Grey Bridesmaid Dresses
As someone who has been in many weddings and is planning one, I feel for bridesmaids and the amount of money they end up spending just to be a part of a wedding. While it’s a huge honor, you shouldn’t have to spend an arm and a leg. The creators of Birdy Grey get that! In 2017, two longtime besties started a company for bridesmaid apparel. The dresses come in a rainbow of colors and vast and varying styles. The best part, there isn’t a dress over $99. I love that this company is price-conscious, high quality and in-tune with the modern-day gal.
Photobooks from Artifact Uprising
As a writer and editor, I’m such a sucker for a good book. However, there is truth to the phrase “a picture is worth a thousand words” because I am obsessed with the beautiful and elegant photo books made by Artifact Uprising. While the company also does cards, prints, frames and much more, their photo books are just so gorgeous that they deserve a mention all on their own. From the personalized ultra-thick pages to the foil stamping, they’re honestly to die for. And don’t even get me started on the color options for their fabric-bound books because I’ve been eyeing the Emerald for sooo long. If you’re looking for a photo book to memorialize your wedding day or any other special time in your life, check them out.
Dried Flowers as Statement Pieces
I keep seeing this on Pinterest and while it’s not my type of wedding look, I think it’s absolutely gorgeous. There are so many creative ideas on how to incorporate this theme into every aspect of your wedding day from archways to tablescapes to hairpieces. For someone who loves to stay pretty neutral, dried florals are a great way to be unique and stay within your favorite color palette.
Chic Nostalgia Wedding Dresses
Chic Nostalgia is my loved this week, but to be honest I love them most weeks. I stumbled upon this wedding dress brand when I was shopping for my dress December 2017 and instantly fell in love with the edgy, yet classic shapes and design. My dress felt like it spoke my personality and was incredibly comfortable all evening. Chic Nostalgia is a name to watch and check out if you’re on that #weddingdresshunt
