For those of you who don't need a wedding dress, but do need {or want} a great party dress, this Part 2 BHLDN sneak peek is for you! There was no shortage of color, pattern, textured details, and sparkle in the BHLDN party dress and accessory collection. I even found myself loving a 50's-inspired shift so much, I wore it during the final presentation from the BHLDN team when everyone else had already changed back into their own clothes {There's me and Amanda from Ruffled trying on dresses}! Whether you're in a wedding, going to a wedding, or just need a dress for date night, the dresses {ranging from $200-$600} complemented with shoes & accessories by various boutique companies like Ban.do, Jennifer Behr, Betty Muller, and more…give us all an excuse to have a little BHLDN in our lives. What do you guys think? What are you loving so far?
The BHLDN e-commerce site launches on Monday with the first yet-to-be-determined retail location in the works! Stay tuned for my Part 3…with some close-up details of more pieces…and some fun photos of my fellow bloggers-in-crime who attended the event! — Joy

OMG – I’m in love with so many of those…
i kind of let out a loud ” Oh my gosh!!” in my cube and my coworkers glanced over.
Yippeeee for part two!
Everything is gorgeous!!! I love your dress, Joy!!! Super cute especially with the yellow shoes!
I saw the wedding dresses floating around the web, but I have to say I love these pieces so much more (must be the color + I’m no where near being married)! So beautiful! I love your outfit, Joy! ; )
I love love love the dress that Amanda is wearing! I am getting married in June, would that work as a wedding gown? What colour is it?
The butterfly dress {pause} gorgeous.
Oh my…….. *swooooooon*
This makes me want to get married for all the wrong reasons.
And you look fantastic Joy!
thanks guys! i LOVED that dress too!

Hey Valentina,
The dress Amanda is wearing is actually meant to be a wedding dress I think. You can see a close up detail of the top in the bottom right of my image…it has a sequined top area and is very pale pink…so so pretty!
Joy
Your photos are so gorgeous! It’s great to see one of my favorite blogs intersect with one of my favorite brands. 🙂
Joy – do you know where the hanging flower decor can bepurchased?
Thanks
Hi Abby,
I believe the decor will be part of the BHLDN line too..launching later this year around May. The apparel accessories will launch first on Monday!
Joy
I am dying to get my hands on those paper fan/circle things in the first pic! I’ve found really plain ones online but those are so delicate and pretty! Anyone know where I can find some?
Thanks!
Fantabulous, Joy!!! This is such a great review of things to come on BHLDN. You are sooo cute, too! That gray/yellow dress was made for you!

Omg, look at those flower shoes, it’s like they were conceived in the garden, so feminine. I want a pair in every colour!
I love, but I tend to shy away from things I love because then I’ll go into the store and ask for a size 10.5 shoe and they’ll look at me like I’ve just asked if I can poo on their face or something.
Sad…but lovely to look at and dream 🙂
Ahh, I can’t wait! So fun that you got a first hand sneak peek! Can’t wait for Monday!!!!
Beautifully perfect x
i love the bottom right dress. i wish i was wearing it for valentines day.
Love the dresses! I want them all!
I haven’t looked forward to a collection this much in very long. I am loving everything I see. Are they going to be sold in Anthropologie or just online?
Hi Lainey,
This is a separate brand than Anthropologie, so the items will be sold at http://www.bhldn.com exclusively and at their own retail store when the first opens later this year.
Best!
Joy
Hi Joy,
Where did you get the blue dress and yellow shoes you’re wearing? Is the dress BHLDN? I simply adore it– you look adorable, per usual!
I’m with Stefanie! Those fans are amazing & would look great in any space or event–I can’t wait for May’s collection to be launched
So outrageously beautiful! Very excited about this collection. Thank you for this beautiful post!
that cream navy color palette is delicious.
Hi Cori Sue!
Thank you! Yes, both the dress and the shoes will be carried at BHLDN come Monday! 😉
Best,
Joy
L.O.V.I.N.G this!!! I can’t wait until they open up stores, so I can see their amazing styling in action. It’s gonna be goooood.
I LOVE it all!!!! amazing dresses!!
Have a great week-end 🙂
Those dresses are fabulous! I am currently looking for a vintage prom dress, and these are just the ones I am looking for. When and where can I buy one of these great dresses?!?

Swoon, swoon, swoon! And you look as adorable as ever(the other dresses are great for weddings, but I want the one you are wearing for ladies lunches!).
Hi Sydney,
Theyll be available at http://www.bhldn.com come Monday!
Best,
Joy
Suddenly, I *really* want to get married. Those dresses are lovely.
So incredibly beautiful and I normally don’t like such pretty, frilly things. Breathtaking!
These dresses look amazing!!!!! Especially the one with butterflies!
droool!!!!!! so lucky you got to go!
ps – do you know where the fans are from??
Just dreamlike. The feel is exactly perect for a wedding. I got married last May in Jenny Packham but would definitely considered one of this range.
swooooon!!!
Mgt x
I love those dresses so so much. They look so beautifully well made and each soo different. What a find!
These pictures are just lovely, romantic…all of the above. I want to get married all over again…or attend a fancy fete.
hey lil,
thanks!!! the fans are from BHLDN…theyll start selling decor in May!
-joy
WoW. love the whimsy and romantic-ness of BHLDN!! And can i get my hands on those circular paper fans please!
Beautiful, beautiful dresses!
Oh my goodness I am in love with this line! I can’t wait for the site to launch! Love your photos!
I will admit that I completely squealed over these two posts! So many lovely pieces.
Just like Anthropologie to be so frickin secretive and exclusive. But it seems to be workin for them. You are so lucky to have been let in the inner circle.
Your dress is so fun! Reminds me of a cartoon where a girl sew real daisies onto her pink sweater 😛 love the yellow+grey combo too!
How do you choose just one dress??

Wow! These are really beautiful! I love all the dresses. Is it bad that I feel like I “need” a wedding dress even if I’m not even engaged yet? haha!
Laurren
Laurren,
Ha! No, not bad at all..thats like me looking at baby clothes when I dont even have a baby yet! ;P
Joy
So many wonderful things you show here…it’s hard to choose just one you like.
WOW WOW WOW~ everything is so special and amazing, makes me want to get married again or at least throw a soiree!
