It’s Wedding Bells for Fashion Houses
Wedding Season officially kicks off after Memorial Day, and as thousands of couples get ready to walk down the aisle, fashion houses are emerging with their first-ever bridal collections. Here are the ones to watch:
Sexy Little Bride™ collection by Victoria’s Secret
Lily Aldridge attends the Victoria's Secret Sexy Little Bride launch in New York City.
It’s hard to believe that the world’s most glamorous lingerie line, Victoria Secret, has never had a special collection dedicated to bridal underclothing. Now, thirty-four years later since its 1977 launch, they finally have introduced a sultry line featuring lingerie, veils, beauty products and accessories for a bride-to-be’s bachelorette night, wedding day, and honeymoon.

Kate Spade New York – Wedding Bells
Kate Spade recently launched their first-ever bridal themed collection, Wedding Bells (and Whistles). The line includes 8 little white and off-white dresses, as well as accessories, shoes, bridesmaid attire. The dresses in the line are defiantly not for the traditional bride, and are very playful and look more like cocktail dresses than something a bride would wear on her wedding day. The accessories and shoes, on the other hand, are absolutely stunning.

Celebrities wear the most fabulous shoes. Just because your name doesn’t appear in headlights, that doesn’t mean you can wear the same footwear as your favorites stars. Here’s what the celebs are wearing and where you can buy the exact same shoes.
