It’s time to start your wedding wardrobe!

Now that engagement season is winding down (though Valentine’s Day might still bring a few more exciting announcements!), it’s time to shift focus to the wedding festivities—starting with the engagement party. Whether you’re keeping it casual or going all out, this is the perfect moment to start building your bridal wardrobe. Let this post serve as your inspiration to kick things off! I actually snapped these photos back in February 2024 at The Plaza Hotel, just before heading out for the evening. It’s a reminder that classic pieces can really stand the test of time. Whatever you choose for your wedding wardrobe, remember: these are pieces you can absolutely wear again!

Thanks to my friend Thao for these photos!

Lace Blazer

This embroidered blazer from Eddy offers a remix to a classic style. Meticulously crafted with luxurious cotton lace embroidery and delicate floral applique – this piece is so unique and makes the perfect bridal jacket. Wear over the coordinating lace mini dress as a cute set for a more formal look, or wear it more casually with a pair of jeans.

Lace Mini Dress

Love this mini to wear for an engagement party – the back is delicately laced with simple corset ties, ensures both comfort and a tailored fit for a whole night’s wear. I love that you can coordinate it with the matching blazer or wear alone with simple accessories!

Ivory Platform Heel

I’m obsessed with platform heels, especially ones like this! I own this style in several colors, and they’re so versatile—they work year-round with endless outfit options. If you’re looking for an off-white bridal shoe that you can easily wear long after the wedding festivities, this is a perfect choice!
