The New York Times reported this weekend that wedding dress designers across the world are trying to get a head start on knocking off Kate Middleton's wedding dress. What do you think she will wear? There's even an interactive poll here, if you want to guess!

Kate Spade wedding!
Kate Spade just launched their first ever wedding line - let the swooning begin! Her line includes retro fabulous dresses for the bride, cute frocks for bridesmaids, and some pretty adorable numbers for the honeymoon! The shoes and accessories aren't too shabby either!
Studio Snapshot: A Soolip Wedding!
We were so excited to be part of A Soolip Wedding at the gorgeous Bentley Reserve this weekend - and what fun it was! Not one to toot our own horn *wink wink* but our booth was adorable. And what better way to appreciate the amazing texture of letterpress wedding invitations than to see and touch them in person?
We spotted this lush frame holding business cards and imagined it as a display for escort cards at a garden wedding!

Anthropologie is launching a new wedding line called BHLDN on February 14th! For reals!

The English Department
We are currently crushing on the lovely wedding dresses to be found at The English Dept...wondering if it's absolutely necessary to be getting married to own this dress! Lounging in a field of grass swathed in tulle and lace is looking quite enticing...
The English Dept. is a design studio and wedding dress boutique, carrying creations hand-picked from independent designers such as Jenny Yoo and Ivy & Aster. Owner, Elizabeth Dye, designs her own gorgeous collection of wedding gowns as well.
Seriously, does this dress fulfill all our Jane Austen wedding fantasies? Yes. Yes it does...
You can find The English Dept. here and in Portland: 1124 SW Alder Street (503) 224 0724

Fluffy, Tulle Goodness!
What girl doesn't fantasize about floating about in a cloud of tulle? Ouma creates these delicate concoctions that would make even the most, ahem, possibly not-so-graceful of us, feel like a a picture of grace and ballerina-like elegance...
How dreamy is this hand-dyed ombre skirt? Coveting this deeply!
And how gorgeous would these be for bridesmaids? These are dresses that would never be relegated to the back of the closet!
You can find Ouma here and get some made-to-order fanciness of your own...
Vintage Wedding Dresses
Mill Crest Vintage is an amazing resource for gorgeous wedding dresses from the 1920's through the 80's.

Maria Lucia Hohan
We are swooning over these gorgeous wedding gowns from Romanian designer Maria Lucia Hohan. The ephemeral photos of her Parisian atelier aren't too shabby either!
See more photos here. Taken by Alix, aka the Cherry Blossom Girl.
Wedding brooch
Did you see Nicole's lovely wedding photos over at Making It Lovely? We are smitten with the lovely brooch that she added to her Watters & Watters dress. So pretty!

Sarah Seven bridesmaid & wedding dresses
We're in love with Portland designer Sarah Seven's romantic dresses, which we discovered thanks to Kilee at the Happy Hour Bride. These would be so perfect for bridesmaids or the bride!
Love the seafoam color of this one, and the pretty detail in the bodice.
Check out more of her work at her Etsy shop and her website.
