Right before their engagement, Nashvillians Rhett and Katie entered an Instagram contest. They won an eight-week-old Goldendoodle that they named “Charlie,” just like the golden ticket from W***y Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Charlie was prominently featured in their Palm Springs wedding, from processing down the aisle to having his own signature drink and cocktail stir stick. He even gave a ‘bark’ of agreement, along with their parents, when the officiant asked, “who supports this couple in marriage?”

The neo-romantic aesthetic of the Costarellos Spring 22 Bridal Collection is comprised of dreamy, graceful, and floaty designs while tastefully incorporating iconic vintage references and the timeless beauty of the past into the present.

The brand stays close to its native Greece for this season and commemorates the country’s natural beauty. From the delicate seams on a pristine silk crepe dress to the three-dimensional flowers cascading down a bodice into layers of sweeping French tulle, Christos Costarellos’ designs mimic a landscape that is unforgettable and effortlessly beautiful.

A fashion-directional edge defines this collection. Beginning with exquisite minimalistic designs cast in Silk Mikado, the brand’s craftsmanship is beautifully highlighted in these statuesque designs. The collection continues with an air of bohemian elegance defined by unique laces that are layered in a truly contemporary way. Marrying the two concepts together is the range of Silk Crepe designs that combine the fluidity of the fabric with the romance of the beaded laces for a modern approach that stays true to the brand's DNA.

Costarellos strives to make luxurious products in a responsible & sustainable way that manages the planet’s finite resources. The company’s efforts include ethically hand-produced garments in Europe, the use of responsibly-sourced materials, and the adaptation of non-hazardous chemical alternatives in the dye process when available. A new initiative of up-cycling waste textiles has also been implemented, which supports local fashion schools and artisans.

Feminine in its inspirations and true to the house in its articulation, the Spring 2022 Bridal Collection is characterized by the natural beauty of Greece with a fashion-forward tone.

They offer the world their brilliance, while also uplifting spirits with their poise and unwavering presence. It's the enduring nature of their captivating beauty that can offer us serenity when we need it most."

Ladies, tired of waiting around for your man to pop the question? Well, 2020 is a Leap Year and you're in luck!
-
There's an Irish tradition said to originate from a deal made between St. Bridget and St. Patrick that allows ladies to do the proposing on Leap Day.
-
And the best part? If you get a "no," tradition mandates that the object of your affection has to buy you a silk gown or a fur coat.
-
We think this ruby red slip dress from Grace Loves Lace fits the bill whatever the outcome. Available in mini and midi styles, the dress, along with matching hair bows and silk bun wraps, can be purchased at graceloveslace.com.
