Touch Ups by Benjamin Walk (Sharmain)
What good is a beautiful dress if you don't have any killer shoes to wear it with? This company Touch Up is one of my favorites for bridal shoes. These exact shoes that I have posted are the shoes I wore to my very own wedding. They are very inexspensive, coming in at just under $60. The price varies on several websites. I purchased these from Bellissima Bridal Shoes for $56.99. However, they are listed on a few other websites for a few dollars less. Shoe Buy has them listed at $53.95.
I wore these shoes all day long without once taking them off. I can honestly say they are one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. Of course at the end of the night my feet were sore, but mostly just from being on them all day. I even bought slippers to change into, but did not have to change because they were so comfortable. The best part about them is they are cute!!! I received many compliments on them and I am happy I chose them.
These peep toe heels come in at 2.62 inches in height. They come in white, gold, silver, and black. Sizes range from 5-11. For a better look, click here.
Jacquelin Exclusive
All right ladies…. are you ready for a beautiful dress that's within your reach? Well this killer dress is just under $600.00. This Jacquelin Exclusive is a perfect dress for indoor or outdoor weddings. I love love love the tulle that was used in designing this gown. My favorite part of this dress is that sweetheart neckline. It allows for some cleavage, but still says “elegant.”
Many of the gowns from the Jacquelin Exclusive line are very affordable and look great. The designers have a great sense of what brides are looking for, yet keep the dress within the realm of fashion. If you are interested in knowing more about this dress please click here.
Matthew Christopher Collection
Shear elegant… This dress has so many distinct features that make it breath taking. The fact that it is a mermaid silhouette means it hugs the body. If you are not looking for a dress that shows all your curves this is not the dress for you.
One of my favorite details about this dress are the ruffled layers at the bottom of the dress. It really adds to the dress and gives it so much character. Need I say more? If you would like more information on this dress, please click here.
The Jim Hjelm Collection
Jim Hjelm has some very beautiful dresses! This dress caught my eye when I was wedding dress shopping. The sweetheart-strapless neckline really causes you to fall in love with this dress. It has some minor beading along the top. Because it does not have too much beading going on it looks great with accessories. When purchasing my wedding dress, I had a lot of detail in the top half of my dress so I chose to wear a pair of large chandelier earrings and skip out on a necklace. However, any accessories would look great with this gown.
Jim Hjelms gowns are designed by Francesca Pitera. “I like to play with the balance of the latest trends and classic styles to create timeless yet unique gowns.” If you would like more information on this gown please click here.
The Casablanca Collection
Looking for a more form fitting dress? This dress hugs in all the right places. It has a dropped v-neckline and is made from silk taffeta. This dress reminds me of greek goddesses. These gorgeous folds in the fabric adds so much detail to this gown. It's simple, but sexy.
The Casablanca Collection is very affordable and can be seen in many bridal stores. If you are interested in this dress and would like more information, please click here.
St. Pucchi Collection
This dress says it all. I don't think words can even describe this dresses beauty. I'm not sure there is a single woman who wouldn't mind walking down the aisle in this dress. It is almost so perfect that you don't even want to wear it for fear of messing it up or wrinkling it. Now I know I am in love with many of the dresses I review, but come on. I couldn't resist putting this one up. It's sexy and elegant all at the same time.
I enjoy writing and reviewing the most beautiful gowns. I just don't have the heart to review a gown and talk about how completely hideous it is. I would rather talk about what makes each gown beautiful. This dress speaks volumes! If you are looking for a gown that makes a statment, this one is your gown. The only down fall is it's price. It ranks in at over $5000.00. For more information on this gown please click here.
Rivini Collection
I will never forget the time I bought my first bridal magazine. I was so thrilled to be engaged and couldn't wait to look at dresses. I came across the Rivini line and really liked the uniqueness it offered. However, after researching the line I discovered their prices. The Rivini line is an expensive line ranging from $3000.00 and up. If you are looking for a one of a kind dress and money is not an issue then I highly recommend this line. I guarantee people will be asking, “Where did you get that dress?” This particular dress is called Savonna. If you would like more information on this dress please click here.
Bellissima Couture
This Bellissima Couture line is one of my favorite lines. The dress has a sweetheart neckline and tulle ruffles making it a very unique dress. My favorite part about the dress is how the neckline was created. It has an unusual sweetheart neckline, but if you look closely it also has sheer netting creating a V. The beading around the neckline continues down the dress until it hits the ruffles. The dress looks very fashionable, but are you ready to hear the price? You won't believe it, but it is only around $1000.00. How can you beat that? That is why it is one of my favorite picks. You don't find too many dresses like this with an affordable price tag.

Simone Carvalli Collection
I just love the Simone Carvalli Collection. I have fallen in love with her dresses since I begin planning my own wedding. This gown has a beautiful mermaid silhouette and a strapless neckline.
The best part of all is that it is some what affordable. The gown is made from royal silk satin. If you would like more information on this dress please click here.
Oscar de la Renta Spring 2009
This white strapless gown is made from silk faille. The strapless white gown has a razmir bow.
Could this dress be any more perfect? Does the Dress Fit gives it five stars! But don't fall in love too quickly, this dress will eat up your entire budget. If you plan on going down the aisle in this gown, you better be marrying prince charming.
