It is very hard to find flower girl dresses that are unique and different. To me, they all look very similar. The range of colors is also limited for most styles. So there is little opportunity to find something that your little flower girl can wear to get the gasping of the breath effect. You gotta love J. Crew. Not only have they created a line of wedding dresses and bridesmaids dresses, but they also have a few really darling flower girl dresses. You can find more information on their web site at: J. Crew.
Venezuelan designer Hannibal Laguna made me gasp for air when I saw his dresses. You have to go to his web site to see the complete line of dresses. Absolutely amazing. Here are my favorites:
Since their wedding took place on the first day of summer, Sarah and Oren chose colors inspired by a bold sunset: purples, reds, and some yellow. They really couldn't have chosen more perfect colors either, because despite a gray and rainy day, their wedding was bright and full of cheer. And they've been kind enough to share it with us!
The wedding took place at Moraine Farm in Beverly, Massachussetts.
I love what Sarah has to say about getting married on a rainy day: June 21st was a stormy, windy day. But, as my dad says, a wet knot is harder to untie! A wedding on the lawn was out of the question, so we all squeezed into the screen porch of the house. There were gusts blowing in sideways and the floor was slippery, but it all made for the most relaxed, intimate ceremony, full of laughter. I truly felt surrounded by love and support.
Sarah wore a dress by Dina Bar-El, butterfly flip-flops by Dolce Vita, and a red silk camelia in her hair by Etsy vendor Mikiye. She also wore a necklace given to her by her grandmother, and which was originally a wedding present for Sarah's great grandmother from her mother. Oren wore a suit from Express and a red tie that he already owned. The bridesmaids wore a purple dress of their choice, which looked beautiful next to the groomsmen in their red shirts!
Sarah carried a bouquet of dried organic lavender, and the bridesmaids each carried a single sunflower. After the ceremony, guests tossed dried lavender buds at the couple.
I absolutely love the story of Sarah's dress: I spotted a photo of Uma Thurman wearing a stunning gown to the Oscars and decided that it would be my wedding dress. I printed out a picture, wrote "Sarah's dress, $299" on it, and stuck it to my wall. After much hunting and Googling, I found out that Dina Bar-El had designed a version of the same dress, and a few weeks later, what was probably the only one for sale in the whole world popped up in an eBay search, in practically my size. I bid $150 and won. Including alterations, I figure I spent just about $299. Moral of the story: It always pays to put it out there in the universe.
The day-of coordinator, Linnea Tangorra, brought a giant umbrella which Sarah and Oren used in their portraits.
Sarah used Adobe Illustrator to design their save-the-dates, invitations, programs, seating cards and chart, dinner menus, and all of the signs at the wedding. She says it was one of her favorite parts of the process.
Sarah made paper cones, which were filled with Terra Chips for the cocktail hour. For drinks, guests enjoyed local beers, Prosecco, and the debut of Sarah's own recently bottled Je Suis Syrah.
Sarah is a food writer and winemaker, so good food was a priority. Blue Ribbon Barbecue provided quite a feast, which was served family style so that guests could relax and enjoy a laid-back meal. Aprons were placed in each female guest's chair so they wouldn't have to worry about getting barbecue all over their nice clothes! Ne Me Quitte Pas Catering provided hors d'oeuvres (miniature bison burgers and miniature grilled cheese sandwiches with accompanying shots of soup) and dessert (miniature ice cream cones, ice cream sandwiches, and ice cream pies).
Instead of cake guests enjoyed fleur de sel caramels by Recchiuti with glasses of Port. At the reception, Sarah changed into a short dress by Georgiou and red wedges by Paco Gil.
Congratulations Sarah and Oren! Best wishes to you as you embark on your life together! And a big thank you to Lisa Rigby for sharing these beautiful and playful photos with us. If you haven't already, be sure to check out the rest of Lisa's awesome work on her blog.

Here are my 2007 picks for bridesmaids dresses, flower girls and shoes.
Best Modern Bridesmaids Dresses: Lynn Lugo Hands down, Lynn Lugo is the undisputed winner. These dresses are fresh and modern. Your bridesmaids will love you because they will totally be able to wear these dresses again and again. Isn't that really what it is all about. Here are my favs:
Best New Bridesmaids Dress Discovery: Coren Moore Enter Coren Moore to the wedding fashion industry. What splash Coren Moore made. Here's another designer who understands that bridesmaids want to buy something that they can wear again. Here are my favs:
Most Elegant Bridesmaids Dresses: Melissa Sweet I love Melissa Sweet's Bridesmaids line. Usually, I am a Vera Wang kinda girl when it comes to bridesmaids dresses. But this line by Melissa Sweet slightly edges Vera Wang's collection. But Wang's collection for 2008 is fabulous so I am sure that she will be back on top by the end of 2008. Here are my favs:
The Best Bridesmaid Dress Alternative: Kina Fernandez and Akira Isogawa Spanish designer, Kina Fernandez and Japanese designer (by way of Australia), Akira Isogawa were the hands down winners for me with Julie Haus running a close third. Here are my favs from both:
Kina Fernandez
Akira Isogawa
Here is a different take on the Bridesmaid Dress (sans the red shoes). These modern styles are from Japanese designer (resides in Australia), Akira Isogawa. View the entire collection at: Akira Designs
Best Modern Flower Girl Dresses and Tiaras: Smitherman and Barnwell These were a wonderful find for me. I have been waiting for someone to come up with flower girl dresses that were stylish and modern. Well here you have it. Here are my favs:
Flower Girl Dresses
Flower Girl Tiaras
The Best Wedding Shoes at a Reasonable Price: Shelley George If you do not have $500 to drop on a pair of new fabulous wedding shoes, then here is the practical choice for elegant wedding shoes. Here are my favs:
The Best Wedding Shoes - Regardless of Price: Christian Louboutin and Stuart Weitzman For me, it's a tie. I love both Louboutin and Weitzman. Both will break the bank but you will undeniably look like a million bucks. You can find both at stores like Saks, Barney's, Bergdorf Goodman, and Neiman Marcus. Here is one from each:
