Last Thursday's episode of Grey's Anatomy was a tear jerker. Izzy's was an epitome of a modern bride. She was sexy yet elegant. It was perfect! Today, brides opt for those type of bridal gowns. Gone are the days when brides are drowning in tulle and organza. When I styled one of my friends wedding party last summer, I picked a Grecian inspired dress, simple up-do and vintage jewelry. She looked like a goddess on the beach where the wedding was held.

I always get asked the question, how much should the bride spend on her bridal gown. I say, if you have the budget go for the one that gives you butterflies. If not, there are a lot of reasonably priced pieces out there. Or if you've seen one that you totally fell in love with at first sight but its out of your budget, go take a photo to your seamstress and have it replicated. Pick a bridal gown that you would cherish and perhaps pass to your daughter when it is her time to say 'I do'.
