If money's no object, get the exact same things Carrie did. The dress Carrie wore in the movie is a very glitz gown by Vivienne Westwood's Fall 2007 collection, costing roughly $18,000. The shoes? A strange pairing with the dress, but when it's Christian Dior's gladiator platforms with rhinestones ($870), you must oblige. Finish the look with a faint-worthy white roses and ranunculus bouquet ($552), and bam, you are clone Carrie.
The bridesmaids, in Zac Posen floor length gowns (3 at $3,200 each) in shades of blue, black, and coral/orange. The beautiful local for Carrie's wedding was, surprisingly enough, the New York Public Library, in the Astor Hall and Mcraw Rotunda, at a mere $50,000 to rent. For $79,022, you'll be picture perfect Carrie.
Now, if you're living in the real world and working with a budget, here's how to mimic the look. The dress, a St. Pucchi, at half the price, $7,140. To make your bridesmaids even happier, a very similar gown by Jasmine Bridal at $200 each for 3. Much easier price to swallow, huh?
The shoes? Can't beat this - $13 at Make Me Chic. Hello! And simplify the bouquet with just white roses, 40 stems for $41.95 from Beyond Blossoms.
And last, but not least, the ceremony and reception space. The NY library is an architectural masterpiece in baroquian theme. How about a nice manor house with baroquian flair? How about one that comes with a big 'ol library? The House of the Redeemer, stuffy name, beautiful local. Upstairs is a full large library, downstairs multiple rooms and a paved garden, rent the whole thing for $4,500. For $12,249 you're spending a lot less for a very similar feel.
As for the weird blue bird on Carrie's head? Ew, no idea where she got that.
