We are huge suckers for weddings. The love and romance, being surrounded by friends and family, seeing two people being joined together and start their lives as one...le sigh. It also doesn't hurt that, generally speaking, it's a woman's favorite dress that she will ever wear and the guests look oh-so-chic.
This year we celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary on the 23rd of May and the idea of renewing our vows has been bouncing around in our head. A mention or two of it to Mr. Harbin and he thinks it's a great idea...we are considering for our 10th anniversary. Our wedding was amazing: laid back, comfortable (the guys wore flip flops) and fun; we want the same vibes for our vow renewal. The fact that we would have to go dress shopping again is not lost on us and occasionally we pop into David's Bridal or Bleu Belle Wedding (a very chic wedding dress boutique here in Savannah) to see if we are simply going to say yes to a dress right there on the spot (it hasn't happened yet, much to Mr. Harbin's relief).
While we do check out celebrity weddings and can appreciate the time, effort, planning and, lets face it, money, a lot of the time they feel like a Lamborghini: a little too over the top, painfully expensive and completely out of reach. But then we saw photos of Olivia Palermo in her wedding "dress" and were completely taken aback.
Her wedding dress isn't a dress at all but a stunning three-piece outfit, all from Carolina Herrera: a beautiful ivory cashmere sweater paired with chic white shorts and a tulle skirt for an overlay that has some of the most beautiful lace detail on the slit that we've seen in a wedding gown. It's effortless. A simple, middle part ponytail, easy on the eyes makeup and her own jewelry keeps this look anything but contrived. We also happen to think that Mr. Harbin would look amazing in Joannes Huebl's suit.
If those beautiful blue shoes look vaguely familiar, they should. Those are the same pair of Manolo Blahniks that Carrie Bradshaw wore on the big screen when she finally married Big in the Sex and the City movie. Like we needed another reason to love this outfit.
Thank you to Olivia Palermo's website for sharing these photos of their special day.

| The very picture of wedding perfection, Olivia and Joannes look relaxed but still so very chic on their special day. |

| We're completely smitten with Olivia Palermo's three-piece wedding outfit from Carolina Herrera and her blue Carrie Bradshaw inspired Manolo Blahniks. |
