inspiration anywhere: vera wang

I was wondering what I was going to pull for inspiration this week when inspiration came to me via Mona Hirata of Weddings by Grace and Mona. At the end of a brainstorming lunch meeting, Mona mentioned that she had just written a blog for The Knot about wedding cakes inspired by brides' gowns. What a perfect idea to piggyback on! First stop for me was the Vera Wang site where I spotted this lovely gown from their 2011 bridal collection:

Flora by Vera Wang

I was immediately drawn to the beaded/embroidered bodice of this strapless gown. My interpretation of the design on paper would feature layers of translucent blossoms accented with Swarovski crystals and a pale mauve ribbon that mimics the fabric sash on the gown.
