A valentine to the tradition of bridesmaids dresses, You Can Wear it Again is a survey of 50 years of bridal attendant fashion. 90 photos of real-life weddings reveal the crossroads where fashion trends and the bride's fantasies intersect, which could mean packs of wedding attendants done up in anything from floor-length shiny yellow taffeta gowns to full Victorian costume, replete with parasols. Bursting with hundreds of dresses, miles of tulle, acres of flowers and countless floppy hats, You Can Wear It Again is an homage to the bridesmaid experience.
Meg Ilasco was studying architecture when she started designing wedding invitations on the side, but the demand for her distinctive designs was so great that she eventually made paper her construction material of choice. Her company, Wedding Tulle (www.weddingtulle.com), creates sophisticated invitations, stationery and accessories for fashion-forward brides.
