OP Does Civil Ceremony Chic

Katie here…

If there's anyone that's my style icon, it's Olivia Palermo. She can do no wrong. You won't see her in Birkenstocks and crop tops…she does classic and sophisticated in an oh so stylish way without falling victim to the latest trends.

Well, you may have heard by now that OP and her equally stylish model German fiancé Johannes Huebl were married this weekend at a civil ceremony in Bedford, NY (how very common of them). Apparently good looks don't get you a visa in the U.S. and they had to speed things along to make sure his beautiful self could stay in the country.


Only OP could get married in separates (which included a Carolina Cashmere sweater, shorts, and a tulle overlay skirt) and make it exquisite. Her something blue was a pair of Manolos and Johannes donned a navy pocket square. 


I love the simplicity of her pony tail. She looks ultra glam in an understated way, and I'd expect nothing less. Earlier this year she did a shoot with Brides magazine giving us a glimpse into her bridal style. 






I'd say when it came to the real deal, she did not disappoint. What's your take? Was the outfit a hit or miss in your book?

A Farewell to the Dress

When I bought my dress, I told myself I was going to sell it after the wedding. When we got home from our honeymoon and the box arrived from my mom, I was so happy to see it I put it on and walked around the house for a good 30 minutes...feeling very conflicted about the sale. But common sense set in. I didn't wear my mom's dress, and I'm pretty sure TBD daughter of ours (I'm sure we'll have a girl) won't want to wear it either. 



So it's listed on PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com. And thankfully I have beautiful photos from Hillary Maybery Photography to remember the dress and the day. If you or someone you know is in the market for the Monique Lhullier Bellflower, send me a note at CardiCouture@gmail.com



While the dress will hopefully go to another bride, I do have the embroidered monogram that Regan gave me for inside the dress and my ribbon from my bouquet. 



Now the question remains, what can I do with them? Only thing I can think of is to use them on a pillow...any other ideas?
