When planning a DIY wedding your budget does not need to be large to create a gorgeous and memorable wedding. Often times the most simple weddings, with well thought out special details create the biggest wow factor... even more so than a wedding that goes over the top with glitz and glam because you miss all the fine details. I believe less is more when it comes to showing off the natural beauty of a bride and complimenting a gorgeous wedding dress. With a few accessories to really make the overall look pop you can stay on budget and still look like yourself on one of the most memorable days of your life!

Bri's Beloved - Convertible Dresses by Nuova Vita

It feels like forever ago that I started planning my wedding as this year marks our 5 year anniversary... which means I likely started planning 5 years before the actual wedding date. During my searches I came across convertible dresses and fell in love. These trendy, versatile, and multi-figure flattering dresses are the highlight of one of many wedding plans I have come up with if I could re-marry my husband every year with a different wedding theme and plan. I love these dresses so much that I finally got myself one for the Summer and can't wait to try out all the styles!!

Nuova Vita is Florida based, owned and operated by Fancesca. She is the designer who also hand makes all the dresses with her team. Nuova Vita draws the essence of “New Life” to classic and elegant women’s convertible dresses and apparel that can be styled in a multitude of ways.  According to Francesca, "It literally is One Piece to Breathe "New Life" Into over and over again!" All you have to do is take a peek and you will fall in love too. With a wide selection of colours, styles, and even convertible maternity dresses it would be hard to not be able to find a convertible dress that would look amazing on every bridesmaid!

I can't say enough about these dresses... Far too often do bridesmaids have a dress they wear in a wedding once, hanging in their closet and no where else suitable to wear it. Nuova Vita convertible dresses can be made as formal or casual as you need just by changing the style and accessories you wear with it. Definitely a dress you can wear over and over again to  different events making the already reasonable price tag even better in comparison to other dresses you will find in bridal shops. For a peek at all the different styles and how to create them click on the image below :)

Ready for some cuteness? Nuova Vita also makes convertible dress in children sizes!! How adorable would your flower girl look wearing a mini version of the same dresses your bridesmaids are wearing!!

If you are ready to order you can follow the Bridesmaid Ordering Guidelines on the website. Not in the U.S? Don't worry, you can still order these amazing dresses! Now get together all your bridesmaids and share the news; you will have fun selecting which style each bridesmaid will wear to be the most figure flattering so everyone looks picture perfect on your wedding day!!
