Just too gorgeous........Anthropologie goes bridal in all the right ways




















Late last night, Anthropologie launched BHLDN their  eagerly-awaited online bridal division and though it has been 36 years since I have been a bride, I am more than entranced with their collection. Those shoes, that gauze wrap? I don't need to be a bride to wear these lovelies. Go take a divine peek here.

    Wow Sande! I must have Noele check this new bridal line out for her big day! It is perfect for her! Leave it to Anthropology right? It reminds me of Mandy...looks like she could have designed each piece:)

    Sande,

    So funny. I just opened the BHLDN email "unveiled" about 15 minutes ago. After lifting my jaw from the keyboard and feeling utterly carried away, I decided to see what my blog friends were up to...and apparently you and I have been taking in the same eye candy.
    I may have to do a post over BHLDN myself; it's just way too beautiful not to.
    And, merci, Janet~That's a major compliment! When I saw that feather wrap with the ribbon, I thought-yep, love it.

    Thanks for sharing these luscious images with us!

    How gorgeous are all these pieces? Those shoes I will be calling about to find where I can get them..thank you very much! They are a MUST HAVE. The short bolero pieces are so pretty and feminine and what I really love about all this great stuff is you won't just wear it on your wedding day but can in fact incorporate all these pieces into elegant every day/night dressing. FABULOUS in every way!

    Anthropologie really is one of the world's most beautiful stores. So frustrating that they don't have any shops in Australia, because their shop windows are just as incredible as their merchandise. This just tops it all really ~ who needs to get married to have these lovely things?

    Oh Sande, isn't it stunning? The morning the site launched, I sat with coffee and just looked through... heavenly! I love all of these pieces you have shown, especially the caplets and shoes. Timeless and stunning :)

    Hope you have a wonderfully relaxing weekend, my friend, xoxo

    It's funny, I had just been thinking about doing a post on their new line, too! I am head-over-heels in love with it, and I envy brides who are getting married now! They have so many more beautiful choices. I especially love the shoes. It sort of makes me want to get married all over again. Hmmmmm . . . maybe Todd will agree to renewing our vows?!

    Love to you. Thanks for your incredibly sweet comment about my blog anniversary. You are one of my most treasured blog friends. xoxo Gigi

    This is one of the best collections I have seen in a while. It reminds me of Sophia Coppola's Marie Antoinette. I think the shoes have my name on them!
