Preppy brides, your dreams have finally come true! Every preppy gal's favorite designer, Lilly Pulitzer, has created her very own line of wedding gowns. Get inspired for a pink and green wedding with the most perfect preppy bridal gowns ever created.
The debut collection of Lilly Pulitzer bridal gowns is being created by a company called Designer Bride, which also makes gowns for Angel Sanchez and Carmen Marc Valvo. The fresh and fun Lilly wedding dresses are set to arrive in select bridal salons in early 2011. Like other designer wedding gowns, Lilly's dresses will not be available online, nor will they be sold in Lilly Pulitzer boutiques. The bride seeking a perfectly preppy Lilly for her wedding can search the Designer Bride website for a boutique in her area which will carry the fabulous frocks.
Like all Lilly dresses, the new bridal collection has an informal and lighthearted spirit. It is not a collection of princess ball gowns with heavy beading, but rather a group of gowns which are perfect for all the places one would usually wear their Lilly, like Nantucket, Palm Beach, or a seaside resort. The silhouettes are primarily slender A-lines; there is nothing extremely poufy nor anything skin-tight. In short, the gowns are ideal for a preppy bride who loves simple elegance. Kind of like a Lilly party dress, only full length and just a tad dressier.
The standout feature of Lilly's new bridal gowns is the use of lace. All Lilly lovers know how beautifully her collection has always used a heavy 1960s inspired lace, and the collection makes good use of it. Many of the bridal gowns are created using Lilly's signature lace. Paired with the simple strapless or cap sleeve silhouettes, it is a gorgeous look for a bride who wants a perfect afternoon wedding gown. The wedding gown which is destined to become an instant classic is a strapless gown with a slim A-line skirt and a natural waist; the gown is created from the signature Lilly lace in white over a soft pink satin lining. Finished off with a pink sash at the waist, it is quite possibly the most perfect preppy wedding gown ever made! Add a classic pearl necklace and a bouquet of pink peonies and you will be good to go.
Short wedding gowns have become a popular trend in recent years, and Lilly has taken care to include a couple of short and sassy options in her bridal collection. A knee length lace dress with a full A-line skirt and cap sleeves is accented with a pink grosgrain ribbon at the waist. It would be darling for an informal wedding, or as a second reception dress. A more sophisticated short dress features a sleeveless tank bodice with lace, a knee length satin tulip skirt and a big bow at the waist. It is something you could picture a lady from the early 1960s wearing to a summer cocktail party, and it is absolutely charming.
What to pair with all this Lilly fabulousness for bridesmaid dresses? More Lilly, of course! The natural companion to a Lilly Pulitzer wedding gown is pink and green bridesmaid dresses in one of her exuberant patterns. They suit the relatively informal style of the Lilly bridal gowns, and of course you can be sure that these will be the bridesmaid dresses that will definitely be worn time and time again. Give each bridesmaid a pearl necklace for her bridesmaid gift, and let her wear her favorite pair of pink or metallic sandals to complete the outfit. Pick up some matching Lilly ties for the men and a mini Lilly dress for the flower girl, and your wedding will be nothing short of preppy perfection!
