Wedding Gown Rejects

by Liz Heather in Beauty, Personal


I have never (and will never) watch Say Yes To The Dress*, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t love seeing women try on wedding dresses. I find it enthralling. I love seeing the dresses they hate, the ones that fit weird, the ones that are too dramatic, the ones that are absolutely not worth their price tag, the ones that make no sense. The rejects are almost more exciting than the chosen wedding gown itself. So if you’re like me and you want to see what my rejects were, then welcome! (Side note: I meant to post this months ago, but we’re in a never-ending hellscape so sometimes things fall through the cracks.)

*Don’t get me started on the network TLC, cannot loathe a channel more.

Let me start by saying, if you’re engaged - please make an appointment at an Anthropologie Bridal location. They’re less stuffy than the hardcore bridal shops and a lot more relaxed but still high end.

Was it insane to consider a short, butter yellow wedding dress? Hear me out: no. I still love this dress, but I realized that it’s much too casual and twee for such an important occasion. Would’ve been a sweet reception outfit, though.

Hard to really tell, but this soft pink House of CB dress was a legitimate contender for about twenty minutes. I love draping so much, but I really think it’s meant for much taller women. I’m not wrong.

Summer Saturdays Vol. 11 (Wedding Edition)

by Liz Heather in Summer Saturdays


Big week this week!

BAKING

Our wedding cake! Dark chocolate chip banana!

COOKING

I made a caprese with the basil from my wedding bouquet.

CRAVING

Absolutely nothing. This week was a dream.

DRINKING

Carib! I’m not biased because it’s Trinidadian, it’s really the best beer.

EATING

So many meals out this week: beef tenderloin, pacific snapper, asparagus and onion scrambled eggs, Nando’s. Looking forward to some home meals again.

EXPERIENCING

Pure joy? I don’t believe in your wedding day being the best day of your life, but it was pretty fantastic.

LISTENING

I made a Getting Ready playlist to hear the morning before the ceremony and it’s been on repeat for a couple of days now.

LOVING

…my husband?? I’m sorry, but it’s wild to say that term out loud.

SHOPPING

I got this beautiful Zara purse to use as my wedding purse and then used Velcro to secure Baby Dog’s photo inside.

WATCHING

Currently have the latest Summer I Turned Pretty episode on pause. Did I get married this summer because Belly is supposed to? Even I’m not sure.

WEARING

I guess it would make sense to show the wedding dress here (I will), but truly my night-before outfit was the one I’ve been lusting after since I bought it from Simons a month ago.

You can find last week’s Summer Saturdays Vol. 10 over here and you can see more posts like this on my latest newsletter.
