{What I’m Loving} Chevron!

By Chandra Fredrick | May 16

I have a new obsession – chevron – and I think buying just one of these things might help to cure it. I’m leaning toward that basket or iPhone cover myself, but there are so many fun ways to incorporate a little chevron into your life!

Vintage Bride {#1}

By Chandra Fredrick | Mar 5

What once was old is new again. Isn’t that often the case in fashion? The same is true for bridal style. Whether it is a wedding gown, a veil, or a hairstyle, many brides are taking cues from vintage bridal style. Because Oh Lovely Day loves all things vintage, we’ll be featuring a vintage bride weekly in this Vintage Bride feature. If you have a photo of your mom, grandmother, or someone else you know that you think had great vintage bridal style, I would love to share them!

{Inspired by} Bridal Gowns by Sarah Seven

By Chandra Fredrick | Jan 24

I’ve been a big fan of Sarah Seven gowns for a while, but I’m in love with the 2011 bridal collection. These gowns are made to order, and are so romantic, feminine, and pretty. If I were to get married again, I would totally pick one of these. And if you really have a big budget, how great would one of the short dresses be for dancing at the reception! LOVE.
