Bride and Prejudice is the story of an outlandishly fashionable girl/woman as she navigates the treacherous road to betrothal. Naturally, she is getting married in June (though, likely not at The Plaza), and she is a socialite so there are many more events, than just the wedding day. First up is the engagement party. Set the scene: a lavish [family] estate in upstate NY or perhaps Long Island with immaculate lawns, perfectly pruned rose bushes, a grande fountain, a few albino peacocks roaming around and a sprawling chandelier lit tent. The only beverage options are champagne and water. What does the bride-to-be wear? Vintage couture, of course. She must set the tone for the half dozen or so events leading up to the wedding, and everyone will be dying to know what type of bride she will be. This bride is rooted in tradition, but remarkably fresh and certainly not afraid of the unconventional, so the natural choice for today's ensemble is a dangerously short couture lace frock, a pair of dazzling diamond stud earrings, a chunky, eye-popping platform pump to avoid sinking heels in the dirt (it is a garden party after all), and small sleek clutch. She completes the look with a high ponytail combed into a single large, long drop curl and soft/bright-eyed minimal make-up.
