http://modestia.stblogs.com Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:38:46 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en So sorry for the delay! Real life took over, but I'll tell you about that in another post. I have been asked to make a post about where to get modest bridesmaid dresses, so I will make a few posts about the subject. First up, Shabby Apple! I don't remember if I ... http://modestia.stblogs.com/2009/11/17/modest-bridesmaid-dresses/ One thing I've learned about about living in LA is that many times when you see "celebrities" you don't even recognize them. Apparently, I met and had an entire conversation with CCM singer and actress Rebecca St. James two weeks ago...without ever having realized who she was! LOL, and I ... http://modestia.stblogs.com/2009/11/10/rebecca-st-james-on-chastity-and-marriage/ Boundless has put together a pretty good guide to the Christian marriage process I thought I would share with you. (There's also a guide for guys.) Pay particular attention to the "Not Your Buddy" section. No, they're not saying you can't have male friends (my best friend is a guy) ... http://modestia.stblogs.com/2009/11/10/recommended-a-girls-guide-to-marrying-well/ If you like corsets, Joan Shum may be the designer for you.  All of her gowns are custom made to your specifications----and we all know couture is a modest girl's best friend. Front (that can be customized to be more modest): Back: I'd totally wear this gown to my wedding in a heart ... http://modestia.stblogs.com/2009/11/05/joan-shum/ Sorry for the lack of posts yesterday! I've gotten a lot of reader mail over the past few weeks, so I'm going to tackle some of your questions and post requests over the next few days. I've decided to extend Modest Bridal Week into next week! Unique Vintage is an online ... http://modestia.stblogs.com/2009/11/05/uniquevintage-com/ Hmmm.... In case you didn't see the PR photos released from Ivanka Trump's wedding, here they are: Ivanka wore a custom Vera Wang gown with jewelry from her own line. What I found interesting was this tidbit from Vera on the topic of the design of the gown: According to Wang, Ivanka liked ... http://modestia.stblogs.com/2009/11/03/ivanka-trump-vera-wang-modest-allies/ Ahh, Stephanie. I love your gowns. Given that the line is couture, all of the dresses are easily customizable. I absolutely love this one and could totally see myself wearing a sleeved version for a wedding rehearsal and dinner: Real SJC Brides: See the rest of the line at Stephanie James Couture. http://modestia.stblogs.com/2009/11/03/stephanie-james-couture/ Look. You know I keep it real here at Modestia. Like really real. Modest girls do not, or at least should not, wear strapless bridal gowns. Or low cut bridal gowns. Or super busty bridal gowns (which for some reason there seems to be a lot of at my parish.) ... http://modestia.stblogs.com/2009/11/02/modest-girls-dont-wear-strapless-bridal-gowns/ I find most of the "modest" wedding gowns to be boring and lacking originality, but when I came across Abigail Wright's site, I was impressed by the designs of the gowns. I think where most modest gowns fall short is in the original design, but in AW's gowns, I can ... http://modestia.stblogs.com/2009/11/02/abigail-wright-designs/ As I announced a few weeks ago, this week's posts will be dedicated to modest bridal attire with a few marriage posts in between. I will highlight at least one designer every day, starting with the more traditionally modest styles and ending with the more fashion forward designers. Tell your ... http://modestia.stblogs.com/2009/11/02/its-modest-bridal-week-wooohooo/
