Style File: Classic Affair & Fashionable Fete

Posted by Lindsey Jun 19, 2012 at 8:00 am

REVELers, which type are you when it comes to your wedding? Trendsetter all the way, or fashionable by day, classic by wedding? Some of the most fashionable women I know turn into unabashed classicists when it comes to the Big Day. Of course, others find no better way to change the game than through their own party of the decade. Well, we've styled both looks. Take your pick.

The pretty bow details and bold palette are the perfect mix for the Fashionable Fête. This stunning gown's point d'esprit fabric and cascading asymetrical panel is simultaneously avant garde, yet timeless. And those pop-y geometric earrings? Take them on your honeymoon after the Fête. They'll keep your party going.

For a Classic Affair, we chose a showstopping lace overlay gown, paired with pearls and neutrals. Bridesmaids in Blush and rose gold keeps the mood soft and romantic, and yet unfailingly modern.

The best part? No shopping til you drop. Find all of this at the one-stop Wedding Suite at Nordstrom. Start your gown search there (find all the big names, plus exclusive, well-priced lines from Amsale to Reem Acra) and top it all off with your maids, your mom, your man, and his groomsmen. Now get out there and play.
