Jessicas Current Wedding Related Obsessions~!

I still love weddings. I have been to about 300 of them and I still love them. I love the dresses the most. Most people think it’s ridiculous to spend a large amount of $$ on a bridal gown, but I think, if you’ve got it, then buy one. They are SO amazingly beautiful. A good gown can transform the entire wedding. A good gown can transform the bride. A good gown can change everything.

Here are some of my current favorite gowns:

Oscar de la Renta, #05

Ivory silk organza strapless pleated gown

This skirt is killer. I would seriously kill for it :)

Oscar de la Renta, #16

White paper taffeta draped torso dress

This is probably the cutest thing ever! Come one girls! Wear some short dresses once in a while! How refreshing would that be?

Oscar de la Renta, #12

Silk taffeta + tulle embroidered v-neck gown with ruffle train

OK, right off the bat, let’s ignore the hat.

Look at that bodice!!!! This is SO stylish. The skirt is usually the star, but this one definitely goes to the bodice.

Amsale, Dahlia

This is my personal all time favorite gown EVER. Ever, ever.

Silk taffeta hand pleated with floral embroidery

Swoon. It’s like art. But a skirt. Skirt art. One day I’ll try this on (with those clippies in back because you know it doesn’t come in my size!).

Elie Saab, #41

Powdered pink tulle gown, fully embroidered with organza flowers

This is my second all time favorite gown EVER.

It’s not really pink. Let’s be honest. My gown was pink. This is like champagne. Moving on.

It’s amazing!!! I cannot pick out one part that makes it. It is the complete package. Everything is perfection.

Lela Rose for Dessy, LR102

Stop making your bridesmaids wear dresses that look icky on them (hello, strapless?). This is adorable. It has sleeves, which every girl will thank you for. And it’s yellow~! Well, it comes in about 25 colors, but I heart yellow~!

Get Married, Cocktail Twist Dress

In this photo your probably like “so what, this dress is boring”. And it is. But check out this link and watch the video.

This dress converts into a billion different dresses. How super rad!! So, all your girls would technically be in the same dress but each could customize it to their taste and body. This is the future of bridesmaids dresses.

Venue Spotlight~! Royal Oak Music Theatre Wedding~!

The first time we walked into the Royal Oak Music Theatre for a wedding, 2 things happened.

1. Our jaws dropped at how incredibly rad it was

2. We were super angry that we didn’t book our own wedding there :)

This is one of the all time greatest spots for a wedding in Metro Detroit. Professional event lighting, incredibly unique setting, a bajillion insane photo ops, and YOUR NAMES ON THE MARQUEE! It’s location in downtown Royal Oak is perfection too. This is the spot we go to whenever we shoot downtown because it has all the best stuff~! You get an urban wedding without leaving the suburbs.

It really doesn’t get any cooler than this.

They are also offering a $1000.00 discount right now! Contact Jessie @ 248.399.2980 or email her @ jessie@royaloakmusictheatre.com

Then, HIRE US! We heart this place!
