Styling The Little White Dress

Outfit Details: Eliza J Bell Sleeve Dress (c/o), Aaraa of Hoboken Bridal Hair Accessory & Belt, LC Lauren Conrad Heels

The little white dress has certainly taken over my wardrobe, and in a good way. There's something so fresh and beautiful about a short white dress, like this stunning Bell Sleeve dress by Eliza J. Not only are LWDs perfect for all brides-to-be, but they are one of the chicest staple pieces for the summer season. 

White provides for an excellent styling base. I recommend translating the look with accessories, like this vintage-inspired hair comb and pearl necklace from Aaraa Accessories. Did you notice I used the necklace as a belt? I love how the simplicity of these accessories keeps the balance of the lace and allows the full outfit to remain soft and romantic. This is always key when styling a bridal look. 

There are many bridal events headed my way over the next month. I truly cannot believe that in just about 30 days I will be walking down the aisle to my best friend. Today, I'm so excited to be over on the blog of Love & Light Photographs providing advice for all you brides-to-be out there and sharing some details on our wedding! Be sure to head over to Jessa's blog to check it out.

Aisle Style: Your Dress, Your Way

Before the "here comes the bride" moment comes endless amounts of coordinating, finalizing contracts, and (my favorite part) dress fittings! It's such an exciting time, even if it's stressful. I have to admit, the dress shopping process for me was a little bumpy and one of the biggest challenges I faced was deciding on a style. There are way too many to choose from. I know that some of you may have had a similar experience, or perhaps you just got engaged and feel overwhelmed by the thought of dress shopping. This is why I wanted to share my personal story with you. I am back on Style Me Pretty today bringing you inside my journey to finding my dream dress. Grab your cup of coffee, because it's a long one!

It's an absolute treat to be able to take you inside my very first fitting with Mark Zunino. Although we are in the beginning stages, I thought it would be fun to take you along with me. This is the corset, or in other words the foundation of my dress. Mark likes to ensure the core fits exactly to each bride's body before he begins producing the rest of the dress. I spent about 30 minutes with Mark discussing my vision and prancing around in my little corset/slip with a sticky note pinned to the front labeled, Jessica Galfo. I've never felt more like a bride then in that very moment. I cannot imagine how I will feel on my wedding day, but for now I'm going to cherish these last fleeting moments leading up to our big day!

Are you recently engaged and ready to start the dress hunt? I'm talking about 5 must-read gown shopping tips every bride should know before stepping foot in a bridal salon in today's article on Style Me Pretty, so make sure you head over to check it out!
