Bloomingdales

So, we get a lot of dress submissions each day for our suggestion service, and I just came across a dress from Bloomingdales that really caught my eye!


Best of all, this gown is totally affordable at $695. Upon further investigation, I found:


$658


$568


$388

What a lovely, lovely bride!

Our favorite part about Tigerlilly is getting to supply jewelry for creative, unique brides! And we love even more when they send us our wedding pictures! The beautiful Kelli sent us these pictures of her off-beat wedding photos:


We love that she didn't wear traditional white or ivory but chose a gorgeous Robert Rodriguez number!
Most of all, we love her hairstyle!! She used our Alvina comb and 2 Alvina hairpins to finish off her chic, modern look!



Thanks so much for sharing, Kelli! xoxo

Talk About Some Headpieces

Over the last couple months we have collected some headpiece pics that have more than caught our eye. Enjoy!

Bridesmaid Haven

Over the last few months of surfing through bridal industry websites there has been an apparent rise in printed, self-accessorized bridal party attire. Where perhaps there is the same color, but different cuts of gowns or only the maid of honor wears a special printed dress. Or each bridesmaid has the same attire, but gets to add her own personal touches. Getting the bridal party exicted and involved is what it's all about - & Anthropoligie gets that to a tee...

Just a Tigerlilly suggestion -> our Tuesday headband

In the Spirit of Weddings

Busy busy busy Tigerlilly team has been designing a new line of bridal jewelry that is undeniably gorgeous and we are almost ready to unveil it! Halloween approaching has us wondering how someone might interpret a bridal ensemble...

From most avant garde to timeless...

Trash the Dress?!

So I was, perhaps by fate and destiny, watching the NBC morning show when an interesting topic caught my undivided attention. TrashTheDress.com is about photographing one's wedding gown, after the special date, in a shoot where the care of the dress is thrown out the door and brides are encouraged to, basically, ruin their white ensemble. What results is these amazing photos that you would never take on the wedding day. This outside-the-box concept is quite intriguing to us at Tigerlilly.

Red Carpet Worthy

-Textured dresses always add to the eye-

& so do headpieces . . .

Elegant eveningwear, inspired by vintage and Asian influences, defines the Marchesa Collection. The beautifully crafted designs fuse high fashion with an eclectic aesthetic. Co-founded by Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig, the company’s namesake and muse, Marchesa Luisa Casati, is the noted eccentric European style icon.

Cutting through Ruffling Observations

We've been wondering how to connect New York Fashion Week with the Bridal arena and a few apparent trends have surfaced that will indeed affect brides-to-be. With eyes glued to the fashion scene this week - it's hard not to assume that ruffle details and interesting cut-outs will not appear in wedding gowns.

First, fashion industry examples:

Marc Jacobs RTW Spring 2010
http://www.wwd.com/fashion-week






MTV set the tone as well


It's all in the blog-world too.
stylebubble.typepad.com

Preen designs


Tom Scott designs




Second, the current translation:

Oscar de la Renta's vision


Halston Rendition
wwd.com/fashion-news/muse-as-directed


Romona Keveza Collection
romonakeveza.com/home.htm







Third, we'll have to wait and see!

Oh to illustrate....

We all have personal dreams and mine - to draw fashion illustrations. I would love to sit around and convey my aesthetics to the world - until I fulfill this fantasy - stalking other's works is my outlet.
