As you may know, the white wedding dress trend became popular after Queen Victoria wore a white gown for her wedding to Prince Albert in the United Kingdom 1840. Before that time, women generally wore their nicest dress, often in their favorite color. It’s not surprising then that in the past few years women have started branching out again, this time opting for beautiful shades of pale pink, also possibly inspired by celebrities (Anne Hathaway, Reese Witherspoon, and Jessica Biel, all wore this romantic hue). Here are Soirée, we are fully in favor and we’ve rounded up some of our favorites here to get your wheels spinning.

The Marchesa number above is from the Spring 2015 collection and features a lace embellished corset and off the shoulder silk chiffon. We’re in love!

A beaded tulle trumpet dress comes in a beautiful blush color as part of Monique Lhuillier’s Fall 2014 collection. Such a romantic look.

With such a classic silhouette, this dress in Jenny Packham’s Spring 2014 collection could be worn for any occasion. But of course we love the idea of wearing it as a wedding gown…

Last but not least in the palest of pinks is this fabulous frock from Christos Spring 2015 collection. This is the perfect option for a bride who wants to try something a little out of the box, but doesn’t want to go too far.

What do you think? Would you try this trend? *All photos from Brides.com

The boudoir photo trend is here to stay, and we love the idea of capturing a special moment as a wedding gift for your husband’s eyes only. Elizabeth Messina took the photos here, something she specializes in, and we think they’re pretty enough to frame. Art in and of themselves, any guy would be lucky to get these on his wedding day.

A lace curtain serves as a beautiful prop in this sultry photo. We like the idea of including special pieces, or a bit of your environment to help remember moments in time. And of course, it’s important to find a photographer who can take tasteful photos that will serve as a timeless keepsake.

Working in part of her wedding wardrobe, the bride wears her veil in this sweet shot. The white on white combination gives the look a bridal feel, and keeps it from feeling over-the-top sexy.

Location is an important part of a boudoir shoot, and while many photographer’s have studios you can use, we suggest working in your own space where you feel comfortable, or even booking a luxury hotel suite where you can pamper yourself afterwards.

What to do with your photos once you’ve gotten them from the photographer? We think your husband would love having an album of some of your favorites, but it might also be nice to frame some of the more artistic photos and put them in a private spot in your house such as your bedroom or bathroom. Thank you Elizabeth Messina for shooting our lovely bride! beautiful!
