...are over at the BHLDN website right now, so it's running ve r y s lo w l y. At one point I think it actually went down completely, so if you didn't get a chance to see it, I grabbed some images.
I knew I would love it! My favorite surprise is that some of the gowns are very reasonably priced... my least favorite surprise is that some of them are not. Most run somewhere between $1000 and $2000, (not an unreasonable amount in my opinion). Then there are a couple in the $600 range, and a couple in the $5000 range.
I found lots of the accessories, cover-ups, shoes, bags, etc. to be things that can be found elsewhere... not in exact replica, but similar. The images I chose are of things I felt were fresh (at least to my eyes).
I was slightly underwhelmed by the bridesmaids dresses. I was expecting a little less J. Crew, a little more... something else. I also think that if the bride is wearing a $1600 dress, the bridesmaid isn't - so the prices seemed off kilter to me in relation to the wedding gowns.
I really loved lots of their hair accessories and the shoe selection was right up my alley. Aesthetically, I loved all of their lingerie. It was a nice combination of sexy and feminine without being vampy. Most of it was very boudoir though, not a lot of shaping or supporting going on.
I loved the jewelry. Lots of the BHLDN stuff seemed to be very similar to things you'd find at the Anthro site, but I like that we are getting away from so much glitz and bling and into more eclectic stuff for weddings.
All in all, I could see saving up my money for some of the more unique pieces. What is everyone else's take? I'm so curious to know what you all think.

While I love the idea of a little somethin' special for the wedding night, I often HATE the stuff in the lingerie boutique at most department stores. LACE everywhere, RUFFLES where no one needs ruffles. And I never understood those teeny tiny little bows between the cups of all the bras. Why are they so little? Is it to make the surrounding landscape seem more impressive? Anyway... doesn't matter. I did a little round up in hopes of finding some nice lingerie. Found some!

The name alone makes me want to wear them! Belabumbum. Aren't they sweet? Who wouldn't want to pack a few sets of these for the honeymoon? They also carry some pretty swimsuits if you're headed to someplace warm.

Ah. Vera Wang. While we all can't fork over the 20,000 bucks for her covetable dresses, we might be able to swing the cost of her lingerie. Affordable and pretty, she doesn't do a lot of lace/ruffles. Her style is more sexy/comfortable, which is probably exactly what you'd like to be feeling on your wedding night.
I'm hoping you'll all check out the website, maybe get some Wang (Vera Wang that is) for the honeymoon.
I had too, it was just too obvious.

Marabou? No thanks. Leather? Not today. More ruffles than a bag of square dancers? Hmmmmm, NO. How about flattering, pretty, and comfortable? Yes please, I'll take 2!
