Dressing For Less Deux

So I still have been searching for my bridal belt.  Even though I fell in love with Untamed Petals on Etsy, I've been hesitant to hedge my bets, blindly building a belt online.  What if it doesn't fit?  What if the color of the sash is wrong?  What if it just looks better in pictures than it does in person?  And if any of these concerns come true, I've busted my budget and ended up with a bougie belt. 

Randomly, my friend told me about a new little bridal store on Robertson Blvd in L.A.  The Lovely Bride once based only in NYC has opened a small boutique on the West Coast.  I went in with my mom one Sunday and asked to see their collection of bridal accessories.  Looking through the belts, I finally found one that felt right....and of course...it's made by Untamed Petals by Amanda Judge.  Now, I can be properly fitted and find the correct color in person with my dress.  So happy!

And if I hadn't already bought my gown, I think this would be the place to find an affordable, alternative gown without blowing your entire dress budget.  The Lovely Bride has amazing trunk sales and small, hip wedding designers.  Check it out!
