Chanel at theChateau

Taking cues from the season’s sugary shades, pretty pastels such as blush, dusty blue, and lavender are making a name for themselves within bridal fashion. With a selection of looks including a statement-worthy mini and a Sophia Bush-inspired floral dress, we are showcasing how to build and style your wedding wardrobe with a prim yet playful palette for each appropriate occasion.

Engagement Party

As the bride, you can never be too overdressed for your own engagement party. Embrace a formal fit with this stunning Catherine Kowalski gown crafted from graceful French lace. Add a little flare with a fun pair of floral blue statement earrings.

Bachelorette Party

Grab your bridal squad for a celebratory night on the town. Long gone are the days of plain t-shirts, we all have an inner diva in us, so why not dress to the nines in a sparkling mini from Show Me Your Mumu that exposes a bit of skin while keeping it classy? Up the ante with statement accessories like floral earrings and silver metallic heels.

Bridal Shower

Traditionally bridal showers are your chance to play with floral prints and feminine fabrics. Consider it done by donning a bubblegum pink mini constructed of toile rosettes and puff sleeves with a square neckline. Pair with bold pearl earrings that are a modern twist on a classic gem and a shimmering clutch to further elevate your ensemble.

Bridal Brunch

A center of attention look that is anything but basic. Your bridal brunch serves as an intimate opportunity to mingle with your bridesmaids while sipping on bottomless mimosas in a fun and low-key atmosphere. Think cotton-candy hues, case in point, a glacier blue silk taffeta mini with offthe-shoulder puff sleeves and a gorgeous pleated bodice by Watters.

Rehearsal Dinner

Romance is in the air as you rehearse for happilyever-after and it’s particularly delightful. The Faye Midi from Australian designer, Shona Joy, epitomizes spring with pink pastel petals, frothy sheer chiffon, and an asymmetrical tiered skirt. Finish your sophisticated look with a simple low bun for an effortless hairstyle.

Wedding Ceremony

The impressionist-era of fashion has entered the chat. With coveted artists who captured the style of time through paintings using visible brushstrokes and an emphasis on natural light, perhaps it’s fitting designers are inspired by the movement itself. Soft tulle and bishop sleeves with ruched detailing evoke a 19th century take on modernity.

Wedding Reception

Pink wedding dresses are having a major moment and we can see why. A Barbiecore aesthetic is an all-pink sensation inspired by the beloved childhood doll. If you choose to forgo white at the reception, consider this show-stopping, high-low number in pale pink by Mac Duggal with Loeffler Randall’s timeless knotted bow heels.
