April is finally here, and it feels like the world is officially waking up. As the days get longer, we’re "springing" into prep mode for the upcoming event season. This month, we’re focusing on the power of the pivot - those small, thoughtful details that transform a look from "nice" to "unforgettable."
The History of "Something Blue"
We all know the rhyme, but did you know that blue was actually the original "wedding white"? In medieval Europe, blue represented faithfulness and love long before Queen Victoria made white dresses the trend in 1840.
Today, it’s a meaningful nod to the past. Whether it’s a blue ribbon tucked into a bouquet, delicate sapphire earrings, or a bold blue bridesmaid palette, it adds a layer of sentiment to the day.
The Lender Spotlight: Lauren & The Westwood Galaxy
We sat down with our newest lender, Lauren, to talk about her stunning Vivienne Westwood wedding dress and why she’s passing the magic on.
"I loved that the dress had a life before mine, and now it gets another one. Very Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants."
Why Lauren Loves This Piece:
-
The Design: The signature Westwood draping is incredibly flattering (and comfortable enough to actually eat your wedding breakfast!).
-
The Drama: The detachable galaxy cape moves like a dream down the aisle.
-
The Philosophy: By renting it out, Lauren is making high-end bridal fashion accessible at a realistic price point.
Lauren’s Pro-Tip: "Try not to grip the day too tightly. Something will always go slightly off-script, and that’s okay. You’re better off being in the moment than trying to manage it."
Style File: The Pale Blue Edit
If you’re looking to incorporate "Something Blue" into your bridal party, the Rewritten Roma Dress in pale blue satin is our current obsession.
To keep the look modern and fresh, skip the matchy-matchy accessories. I love pairing this specific shade of blue with silver tones, soft nudes, and even crisp whites or creamy tones for a timeless feel.
