Shelby by Maggie Sottero

BG brides, it's your turn! This week, one of Bridal Guide's Twitter followers, @blondilocks101, sent us her stunning Maggie Sottero gown (the "Shelby," above) but with no idea where to start when it came to styling. BG sent the gown to Prunier to review and give two completely different options—although both are really fantastic. Check out what our expert has to say, and if you want your gown styled, tweet @bridalguidemag or email suggestions@bridalguide.com.

"The beauty of this gown lies in the asymmetrical pleating throughout." says Prunier. "But the pleats also create a styling challenge: you'll need to have just enough bling to play off of the folds without overpowering its simplicity."  We asked Prunier to sift through her Tejani collection and find two separate styling solutions that are very different, but both work well.

Urvi's styling suggestions:

Option 1: The Classic Bride
Tejani Wedding Jewelry Styling Sottero Look 1   "Drop earrings, a simple crystal bangle and a timeless rhinestone encrusted necklace make for a supremely elegant style. The best part of this curation is that each piece works very well on its own, enabling you to actually wear everything again! " Necklace, Style B161; $140. Earrings, Style B107; $95. Bangle, Style 153; $195.
 
Option 2: The Glam Bride
Tejani Wedding Jewelry Styling Sottero Look 2   "Any fashionista knows to play off of the details—and that's exactly what this look does. I've picked up on the beaded motifs at the neckline and lower waist with these ornate pieces."

Earrings, Style B0723; $275. Cuff, Style B0996; $105
