If you were a fan of The Hills (like myself), you're familiar with Lauren Conrad and her world wind relationships that always seemed to leave her heartbroken; Brody Jenner and Jason Waler are two that come to mind. The list is endless of guys she's dated in the past that were either bad boys or playboys. As a fan of the show and Lauren, I'm happy to know she found love in the end with her law grad fiance, William Tell. She's on the Fall 2014 cover of Martha Stewart Weddings with five of her nine bridesmaids. Keep reading to see what she had to say about picking out their dresses.
The future Mrs. Tell has decided to keep herself out of the spotlight, but has managed to stay successful. With a collection of best selling books, a popular self-titled website, and two clothing lines (LC Lauren Conrad and Paper Crown), I would say Lauren is doing just fine!
To add to her business ventures, she's launching her Paper Crown Bridesmaid collection that features gorgeous designs any bridesmaid would be happy to wear. For the magazine, she styled her friends in designs from the collection; but this is what she had to say about preparing them for her big day...
On Asking Her ’Maids
“My jewelry team at Kohl’s made me necklaces. We found this little diamond ring piece that looks just like my ring, so I did rose gold necklaces for everybody and then sent it with a will-you-be-my-bridesmaid’ card.”
Hannah Dress - $298
On Choosing a Dress Style
“I sent them all the different shapes and let them pick from two colors. I don’t mind if there are a few girls in the same dress, or if people are all in different ones. It’s too difficult to take a group of girls and put them in the same color and silhouette; everyone has their own style.”
On Picking a Palette
“They’re all wearing the same two colors, so it’s all the same color scheme. I don’t think it needs to look too cohesive. They’re all individuals, so it’s nice that it doesn’t look too uniform.”
Natalie Dress - $260
On Skirt Length
“I’m okay with different lengths—it just depends on the look that you’re going for. In our collection, we’re only doing a few dresses that aren’t long. We’re doing full-length, a couple midi, and then we have a couple to-the-knee. We didn’t really go shorter than that because it doesn’t really feel appropriate, and if that’s what you want, then you can always shorten the dress.”
On Day-Of Hairstyles
“I’m letting the girls do whatever they want. Again, I think that weddings are about celebrating, and you want everyone to feel comfortable, so I think it’s about whatever is going to make them feel pretty. Understated is always best, so I think trying to go more classic is always a nice choice because you don’t want anybody to stand out in a negative way.”
Maura Dress - $360
On Bridesmaid Nails
“I was thinking about doing a gift bag and just including a pale pink or a nude in there. We’ll see if I get around to that. I think that’s a nice way to suggest, like, ‘Here’s a pretty color for you.’ Yeah, that might actually be a good call because some of my friends will probably have navy or dark nails!”
