Sweet & Subtle: Ivanka's Too-Beautiful-for-Words Wedding Gown!!!

While Ivanka Trump looked no further than her own jewelry collection for her something sparkling for her wedding to Jared Kushner this weekend, the heiress sought out famed wedding gown designer Vera Wang for her “something new.” Ivanka and Vera Wang worked closely to create the perfect couture wedding gown inspired by the gown Princess Grace Kelly wore to wed Prince Rainier III of Monaco in 1956. The result — a hand made lace gown fit for a princess. To complement her majestic gown, Ivanka paid long time hair stylist Suelyn Farel a visit 10 days prior to the wedding for a trim and “Park Avenue Blonde” highlights. And though Wang was still putting the finishing touches on Ivanka’s wedding gown just days before the ceremony, the heiress was “really calm” according to Farel, who cut about an inch and half off of Ivanka’s blonde tresses. “She really just wanted to make sure she had a fabulous trim so her hair would be able to style well the day of the wedding,” Farel tells PEOPLE. Watch as Vera Wang describes the work and inspiration behind Ivanka’s couture wedding gown. Tell us: What do you think of Ivanka Trump’s wedding gown?–reporting by Isley Kasica

Wiley Valentine

I am totally loving the invitations and stationery from Wiley Valentine! Featured in the latest issue of In Style Wedding - totally love them!

Amsale Craziness!

I just went to Clotheshorse Anonymous yesterday and there was a size 10 Amsale bridal gown on sale for a crazy $131!!!! It's a strapless ball gown with a corset bust - ivory satin - no lace or beading - very simple. She salesperson told me that it was one of three debutante gowns for one of her client's daughters. It's been worn only once and the damage on the hem is minimal - nothing a good dry cleaner couldn't take care of. This is such a great bargain - I almost bought it myself just to have as back up for my brides :) If you are in the market, it's definitely worth checking out. And it probably won't for long so get there now!

Wai ching

For the bride looking for more than just a white wedding dress, presenting ... Wai Ching. The exotic, edgy gowns are "wild, yet wearable." Chrissy Wai Ching, the designer, is no doubt inspired by her Chinese-Puerto Rican-English heritage.

If you like certain elements from several different dresses or want a design in a different color or fabric she is willing to work with you to customize your dream dress. Best of all? Most of these dresses are under $1000!
