Sarah Seven’s Spring 2011 Bridal Collection

Posted in Decor + Style, The Dress, Weddings by

Romantic. Simple. Feminine.  Those are the three words I would choose to describe the Spring 2011 Line of wedding dresses from Portland, Oregon designer, Sarah Seven.  Her website describes her bridal collection as “a rare glimpse into the perfected and intricate arrangement of blossoming ruffles, delicate fabrics, and flowing layers” – the perfect dress for any bride looking to capture raw romance on her wedding day.  Each dress is made to order and is oh so affordable, with the most expensive breaking the bank at $3200.  But don’t take my word for it…see for yourself…
