The Big Chill
Sunday, January 31, 2010 at 3:56PM
We got a handsome amount of snow here in Nashville Friday night. It became abundantly clear that we are indeed Music City as opposed to Snow Plow City, because here it is Sunday and the roads are still a mess. Major ones are passable, but there is much to be desired in the way of snow removal here in Nashville. Everyone was pretty much snowed in yesterday. It was a huge weekend buzz-kill. There was much planned at The Casa de Candyman and The Thirty-Something Bride.
We managed to get out while the sun was shining today, but are wary of going out this eveing for a friend's 40th birthday celebration. It's a bit far from home and if the roads freeze over when the sun goes down, it might be a dangerous trip. We shall see....
But what all the snow got me thinking about was a wintry-wonderland of bridal goodness. I went in search of pretty little dress for the winter bride. Here's what I found!
I love this long-sleeved style from Joan Shum.
What about this coat by Swedish designer Alicja Eklöw? I would think that the Swiss would know a thing or two about the cold, no?
Perhaps a bit avant guard, but I like the idea of a two-piece wedding set. Oh, and I looooove the hat.
This Ian Stuart ensemble probably belongs in the last post, but the jacket is too cute.
Oh, hi! How about sweater dress from Teresa Helbig? I like the arm warmers. Is that what they are called? Like the leg-warmers of the 80's but for your forearms? At least leg-warmers originally had a purpose. Somehow, that makes me feel better about having worn them with my Forenza Shaker Knit Sweater (worn backwards, of course), Mia flats and my prairie skirt. You know you're jealous.
Stay warm errybody! I'll show some more re-caps of the rest of the reception this week! Woo! Hoo!

Great post and great research.......
Something about ice and snow really creates a sparkly winter elegance that is so unique to the season. Lovely photo finds!
Stop it that we posted about the same thing on the same day.
Even with a continent between us, I fail to see how we went so long before finding each other.
And yes, it was SMP -- remember the inspiration board that you got no credit for?? I still love it.
