Blue Bridal Dress + Giveaway!

In an attempt to really "do the blog thing," I bring you my first Outfit of the Day post {#ootd} and giveaway! I've not really done an outfit post before because I don't have a regular photographer just yet, but hope to do more once I'm married and have an live-in photographer. {Shout out to my sweet mother for taking these shots.}

As I've discussed before, I've really debated over wearing white to all of my pre-wedding events. I love white, seriously. But I cannot get over the "no white before Easter" rule. I'm trying, a little. The occasional white shorts on a really warm spring day. But a full-on white dress is just a mental block for me. Plus, I've got two stunners waiting in my closet for a bachelorette outing and the rehearsal dinner!

When a bridesmaid sent this dress over to me in white, I loved it! It's so classic. And when I discovered that it also came in the most perfect Tiffany blue/minty color, I was sold! Besides white, this blue says "bridal" to me! I also knew that in this color, it would become a great work dress, too.
Flashback to a few months ago when I stumbled upon a Savannah Instagram account of this precious southern sister, Emily. All about Lilly Pulitzer and coastal style, she makes these fantastic gold oyster shell necklaces! They are too cool, and come in a variety of sizes and colors. When I saw the gold and pearls, I knew this would be the perfect accessory to this bridal shower dress in the spring, and what's more bridal than pearls?

Coupled with Kate Spade pearls and some nude wedges, this combo really popped against the beautiful spring buds in South Carolina last weekend. I truly felt like a bride while celebrating with my church family on Saturday afternoon.
