Dolly Pearl Bridalwear

We couldn't wait to introduce you to the amazing dresses and bridal gowns by Dolly Pearl! Dolly Pearl designer Vi Hoang began her design career with a Fine Arts degree from the University of Houston and after several years of experience in interior and graphic design, she won a Corelle sponsored design contest. She moved from Texas where she was born and raised to New York City to pursue her lifelong dream of a career in fashion design. She studied fashion at FIT and started her own womenswear line called Dolly Pearl, an homage to her Southern roots and a nod to her admiration for country icon Dolly Parton. In September, 2010, Hoang won the Daily Candy "Start Small, Go Big" contest for fashion and she continues to expand her Dolly Pearl womenswear line.

“When I started my line, I really just wanted to create beautiful pieces that were unique, architectural and easy to wear. Keeping in mind that women of all sizes wanted to look beautiful, yet feel comfortable, I started building a line revolving around that,” says Vi.

We love so many of Dolly Pearl's charming, feminine styles. Ruffles and bows are key components in the collection and we've included a few of our favorite bridal and bridesmaid looks below. For more information, to see the entire collection and to pick out your favorite dress, visit the Dolly Pearl website.

Art Shark Designs

The story behind Art Shark Designs is that founder and artist Megan Nolton wanted to make a really great Christmas present for her sister. "She had just moved home after living in London for a few years and missed it terribly," says Megan. "So for a Christmas gift, I made her a London print to remind her of her time there.” The red umbrellas were added because Megan thought the prints needed a pop of color and her own engagement took place under an umbrella. "I find the idea of couples enjoying a great city on a rainy day under umbrellas to be quite romantic," Megan adds. The next print she made was of Paris for her husband. She'd recently discovered Etsy and listed a few prints for sale. People really liked them and the editions started selling out. Requests came in and she's been adding to her series ever since.

"I always hope when people see my prints, it brightens their day a tiny bit," says Megan. "I don't think there's anything better than exploring a great city with the person you love."

Whether it’s London or Paris, Alexandria, VA or NYC, we fell madly in love with the City Love prints from Art Shark Designs. We've included images of some of our favorite prints below, but visit the Art Shark Etsy shop to see the entire collection.
