Shopbop Launches Wedding Collection (yawn)


Shopbop's wedding collection is officially available to the public today and... well, yawn.

The collection consisted of loosely draped shapeless dresses with a more casual appeal.  I love weddings, and I especially love laid-back, cozy and intimate weddings where everyone feels like family. But, when I judge a wedding collection, my main metrics are "design range", "drama/flair" and "one-of-a-kind"; this collection scored a 5/10 across all measures.


Here were some of the more "interesting" ones:

 
 Simple spaghetti strapped dress with flowing skirt and a slight train.
Catherine Deane
Justine Long Dress
$1,310.00  


A vintage-inspired lace and nude sash tiered dress.
BCBGMAXAZRIA
Carly Layered Lace Gown
$548.00  


A Grecian inspired nude sweetheart dress with side train.
BCBGMAXAZRIA 
Carly Layered Lace Gown 
$548.00   

A one-of-a-kind, but semi-glorified petticoat nightgown.
 Temperley London 
Long Jadeene Dress 
$1,650.00


On the other hand, their short "wedding" dresses seemed a bit more inspired:


  
Thread
One Shoulder Dress
$495.00


  
Lela Rose
Brocade V Neck Dress with Belt
$1,595.00 



What do you think?
