In Love with Lavender & the Colorful Brides who Work It

Lavender’s blue, dilly dilly, laaaavender’s green, when I am king, dilly dilly, you shall by queen!!

Purple has never been my pick of the litter when it comes to color, especially considering what works best on a wedding dress.  However, after a work friend (holler for a dollar, Carolyn!) sent me a link revealing Sofia Coppola’s wedding dress, I have to admit, I pretty much fell in love :)

Recently wed this past weekend in the garden of the Coppola family’s Palazzo Margherita in Bernalda, Italy, the daughter of revered film director, Francis Ford Coppola, looked like a breezy bridal dream sporting her tee-length, lavender wedding dress… and I gotta say, she (and it) deserve a double snap.  Not only does this trendy tress look amazing, but it compliments her chic, nonchalant style impeccably.  Don’t believe me?  Check it out for yourself and see!  It looks like she should be twirling in every pic!

See, she needs to be aswirly twirly in these pics :)

And if you’re a bride who loves this lavishly lavender trend but still longs for the more traditional look, why don’t you pull a Khloe Kardashian and just accent your gown with the pretty purple??

And while Khloe K did it via Vera Wang, I also love love love this Claire Pettibone vintage number :)  It would make for a super chic DIY project!
