J Crew vivian strapless dress, new with tags, unaltered, ivory color, size 6. It has an empire waist, built in bustier with boning and an elastic bottom edge for support, back zipper with a classic box pleat in the back. It is fully lined thick silk.
The dress does need to be pressed but with a little steam it would be perfect.

I ordinary saw a dress from another designer but it was sold out, so I purchased this one. Last week that dress I was obsessed with was back on sale and had to buy it.

I don’t think I will ever tire of seeing paper lanterns at weddings. Not only are they easy on the budget, but they really are so versatile for so many different parties and celebrations. Of course, when they are used at an incredible wedding like the one below what’s not to love about them?

Thank you again to, Leigh, over at SugarLove Weddings for sending over this amazing wedding. It was such a joy to feature their wedding on Once Wed today! Even though SugarLove is based in Australia, they are available for travel and love to shoot weddings all over so be sure to check out more of their work here.

Because I spend my days blogging about all things wedding, I often catch myself dreaming about what our wedding might have looked like if we’d decided not to elope. I think a lot of the details below would have definitely ended up making the list especially the burlap runners and family style eating. I mean how fun would it be to attend a wedding like Ros and Blake’s?

Stay tuned for a bit more of their incredible wedding coming up next…

Beautiful Ivory Dress. Was perfect for my wedding day. There are a few small stains on the underside of the bottom of the gown but nothing people can see. Should come out with a dry cleaning. I wear a size 7 to 8 in \”normal\” clothes and this size 6 fit me perfectly. It\’s a beautiful gown and I would love if someone else was able to get a little joy out of it as well.

If you’re just joining us for today, we are showcasing the most lovely, countryside wedding from SugarLove Weddings. I really can’t get over how low key and elegant this whole wedding feels. It just goes to show you don’t need a lot of stuff to make a wedding wonderful and something you will remember for many years to come…

Ros and Blake’s amazing reception is coming up next…
