{For the BRIDES} NEW Indie Wedding Collection

Most of you may know, I am a wedding LOVER. I mean, I am a part-time wedding coordinator, creator of bridal adornments and I adore pretty details and romantic love stories. That said, I wanted to share a little treasure that I have found just for my brides and brides-to-be.

I know it can be a bit hectic running around and browsing so many different details for the big day-especially when it comes to your attire and the look of your bridal party. Graffiti Beach, a local So Cal boutique has just launched a new collection, "Indie Wedding" which is filled with gorgeous styles, textures, shapes and color palettes. Each dress is "vintage inspired for the modern woman" and "emphasizes classic, timeless charm with notes of feminine sophistication." Not only are these pieces perfect for a beautiful bridal party but they are all very affordable with prices ranging from $48-$84 each! You can shop in store or online for these looks as well.

I seriously wish this collection was available when I got married almost 4 years ago!

Here is just a little preview from the new collection now available at Graffiti Beach. See the full look book here.

Thrift Haul {Dress Overload}

A few days ago, one of our local thrift stores had a 50% off sale on everything! With that said, I was there as soon as they opened. This was partly due to the fact that I was in this store the day prior and saw a gorgeous coffee table that I wanted. I told myself that it was meant to be if it was still there during the 50% off sale and of course it was-for only $7.50!! :)
Ok, back to the dresses. I went through all of the dresses and started piling them up on my arm. My husband was waiting in the checkout line so I had to move quick which also meant that I didn't have time to try anything on. I ended up with 6 dresses for a total of about $13 and just hoped they would all fit.
Once I got home with my finds, I was pretty happy with my choices!
Here are my thrift store finds.
P.S. I had to take these photos during "nap time" so please excuse the rushed facial expressions and lack of  styling. Ha!

This dress is perfect for the warm seasons upon us and probably the most comfortable dress I have ever worn!

I don't have very many stripes in my closet so I'm happy to have this new addition with navy and white stripes. I think this dress would be cute with a blazer and heels.

This dress is super Spring-y with it's pink and aqua blue floral print. I need a big floppy hat for this one! 

I love the coral and teal colors of this dress. It's a bit big so belting it is a must but I like it that way!

Now this dress I am a little unsure of. I don't know where I will ever get the courage to wear a shoulder-padded dress! lol I love the feel of it though and the buttons on the sleeves are fun.

I have saved the best for last! On the rack, this dress looked pretty weird but I thought it might be one of those "looks better on" dress and thankfully I was right.
I am in love with the lace and scallop detail with flowing chiffon on this dress!

 I now just need somewhere "spiffy" to wear this!
