Blushing Maid of Honor

Blushing bride - a beautifully common sentiment in any wedding.

Blushing maid of honor - a sweet sentiment reserved just for her. 

The maid of honor is always first in the bridal processional.  Her dress will hint at the tone defined by the bride and groom during the wedding plans.

A blushing maid of honor will hint at a blushing bride.

And so in this post, I am highlighting a blushing maid of honor as a beautifully uncommon sentiment.

Hayley Paige - Simple Bride

Hayley Paige


Hayley Paige designs are young, modern, and playfully innocent.  For these reasons, I chose to create another Hayley Paige look.

Where there might be subtle drama in the skirt of some of Hayley Paige's designs, I am styling simple and elegant.

My opinion only - simple wedding gowns are timeless, understated, and can be passed down from generation to generation.

Hayley Paige designs, of course, are beautiful and meant to keep for the bride's lifetime.

And so I once again feature Hayley Paige on Bridal Shop.

Kleinfeld Blushing Bride

As you can tell, Kleinfeld Bridal is mentioned in every post featuring a bridal look.  Every bridal designer behind each look has gowns in Kleinfeld stock.

As you can further tell, Kleinfeld Bridal is in line with the reality television program, "Say Yes to the Dress."  Both are frequently mentioned together.

And so I will admit my love of "Say Yes to the Dress" and passion for Kleinfeld Bridal.

As with the bridal designers, Kleinfeld Bridal has a history as well.  The history is quite detailed, so follow the link below.

Couture Maid of Honor

Weddings are always about the bride and groom.  The bride, especially, is the focal point of her special day.

The maid of honor and best man are personal and honored decisions for the bride and groom.  Bridesmaid selections and groomsmen selections complete the bridal and groom party.

The maid of honor is the first notice during the wedding processional.  The tone of the wedding, as defined by the bride and groom, will reflect on the dress worn by the maid of honor.  Of course, the wedding gown is most focused on.

In this post, I am featuring a couture look for the maid of honor.  The tone, then, would be formal and black tie.


The color theme - navy blue.

The dress is by couture fashion designer, Zac Posen.

The heel is best for weddings.

The hat is referred to as a derby hat and royal in style.

The jewelry is encrusted with CZs.

The bouquet is arranged for bridesmaids.
