While we always love the understated elegance of a beautiful custom-made Little White (or Black) Dress, lately we’ve developed a bit of a Blush Crush. Peek inside Jane’s closet for some perfectly pink hues to incorporate into your wedding palette…
Whether a Blush Pink Silk and Tulle ballet-inspired tea length dress or a chic Rose Gold fit and flare (each one perfectly designed for your first dance) introducing Blush and Rose Gold into your wedding repertoire can offer an elegant update to traditional little white dresses. Another alternative is a Champagne Hue. One of Jane's favorite Champagne silhouettes features a jewel neckline, French darts with hidden pockets and an extended shoulder detail making this modern style ideal for year round wedding celebrations.

White can be symbolic of new beginnings, purity, and the start of a new life together in many cultures. It's also associated with traditional wedding ceremonies in Christianity. The tradition of wearing white wedding gowns has both historical and cultural roots. Queen Victoria is often credited with popularizing the white wedding dress in the 19th century when she married Prince Albert in a white gown.

Wondering how to find your perfect fit in wedding gowns? Typically wedding dress sizes can be different from regular clothing sizes. Wedding dress sizing often follows its own set of sizing charts, and may differ from one bridal designer or brand to another. Wedding dress sizes often run smaller than regular clothing sizes, meaning that a bride may need to choose a wedding dress size that is larger than her usual size.
