I really enjoy watching the Oscars and get excited to see my favorite actors and actresses take the red carpet. It’s fun to see the winners and accolades, but my favorite aspect of the Oscars are the fashions. It is definitely the Superbowl of  attire and beauty and this year was no exception. My three favorites were Kate Hudson, Lupita Nyong’o, and Cate Blanchett. Each lady stunned in sexy, soft and romantic looks. I love taking Oscar fashion and translating that to wedding inspiration, and these gorgeous gowns are simply perfect.
