Jason Wu to Design for Net-a-Porter

You read that right -- the same designer who made that stunning white gown for the Obama inauguration will soon be releasing a line of wedding gowns for Net-a-Porter.

And from the looks of the sketches (above), they're going to be gorgeous. The designer spoke with WWD yesterday, saying, "I wanted to create an exclusive bridal collection for Net-a-porter that is both youthful and injected with elements of American sportswear, which I favor for my collections. The capsule collection includes wonderful options for a bride, but also has a relaxed attitude with pieces that can be worn to other occasions."

A wedding gown that you might be able to wear again? I like the sound of that! But the best part of all has got to be the price tag. Gowns are expected to retail on the luxury fashion website for $795 to $4,000. Net-a-Porter's wedding shop will launch in January, with Jason Wu's premiere collection.

Vera and David Partner Up

Attention brides! If you've always wanted the look for less when it comes to your wedding gown -- now may be the time. Celebrity gown designer Vera Wang is partnering with David's Bridal to create a line of affordable wedding gowns. The line will include nothing over $1,500 and include gowns and accessories. The 20 gown line should be available in the US by early Spring 2011, reports InStyle.

Vera told WWD she's excited about the project, adding, "I've been doing this for 20 years in September…what is the point if I can't share all this work [via] a brand that is reliable and credible to people."

No word yet on what the line will look like -- and to be honest, we're pretty curious. What do you think the line will look like? And tell us, would you buy a Vera Wang for David's Bridal gown?

Kevin Jonas’ Wedding Aisle Runners Found (And We LOVE Them!)

So we all know that pop star Kevin Jonas (of The Jonas Brothers fame) married longtime love Danielle Deleasa a few weeks back in a beautiful fairytale ceremony. But what we didn’t know is that two of our favorite wedding vendors were part of the dream team behind the beautiful finished project. The couple’s fairytale winter wedding theme was designed by event planner extraordinaire Michael Russo of Roses-n-Lollipops, and we just heard from our friends at The Original Runner Company who sent over photos of the custom aisle runner they designed for the event.

We just love it when couples work seasonal details into their wedding style. The Jonas runner’s snowflake design (shown on left!) is so sophisticated and chic. If you love this look as much as we do you can find similar styles from The Original Runner Company’s collection online and request a quote. Listen up winter brides: We’ve totally fallen for this pink and white tree graphic we found in their seasonal gallery, and we bet you will too. Or, if you’re incorporating blues (the wedding "It" color for 2010!), adding this pretty white snowflake design on your runner will perfect a winter wonderland theme.

How are you incorporating seasonal details into your wedding? Share your ideas below!

Celebrity Wedding Stationery Style: 3 Hot Looks for Your Big Day

As much as I love to gawk at all the amazing gowns, flowers, and venues that you’ll see in an A-list wedding affair, sometimes it’s the little details the celebrities choose that prove to be the real standouts. Here are three of my favorite celebrity wedding stationery finds from 2009, and where to find a similar look for your own special day.


Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom’s Wedding Menu
Purple-loving bride Khloe Kardashian chose to use a lavender damask print for her wedding menus, which were designed by Lehr and Black. The pattern gives it a classic, more traditional feel, but the color really makes it ultra feminine and suggestive of a fairy tale event – which is exactly what the happy couple wanted. For a similar look try the Miss Haversham collection from Mr. Boddington’s Studio, shown here in purple, but available in lots of other fabulous colors and combos.


Salma and Francois-Henri Pinault’s Wedding Menu
Nothing about Salma Hayek’s Venice wedding weekend was ordinary – masquerade ball anyone? So, the couple’s wedding menus (also a Lehr and Black creation) were no exception. They chose round die cut menus with black and gold hot stamping. I’m all about round menus (they really standout on the tables and work well with most table setting décor), and I just found a great design on Etsy that’s equally stunning, and very similar. These 8-inch round damask menus are from jamiekonet’s shop, so if you like them too, pay her a visit for pricing and more details.


Fergie and Josh’s Caricature Inserts
When Fergie married Josh Duhamel in a lavish Vineyard ceremony, they chose to give out invites at the end of the wedding instead, as favors, in order to keep their special day private and paparazzi free. Inside their invites guests found a copy of this caricature of the couple -- also designed by Lehr and Black. (To say they’re a celebrity favorite would be an understatement -- they’re more like the premiere celebrity stationery designers!) Cute right? To get your own made, try paying Caricature King a visit to search for an artist and see samples of other wedding caricatures they’ve done.
