Dress Your Drinks

    As you can imagine, my dvd library is filled with wedding movies. One of my favourites to watch is "Maid of Honor", of course because Patrick Dempsey is sooo dreamy. I really love the hen's party scene in this movie. What i love is the oh-so-pretty tiny roses floating in the Champagne glasses. So simple, so elegant... and such a fabulous idea for your bridal shower, or wedding day. And if you don't want to put them in each glass, why not freeze some rose petals in ice cubes and use for your ice buckets.

Vera Wang 2012 Spring Collection

    As a wedding blogger, a trip to New York is not complete without a stop by Vera Wang's flagship store on Madison Avenue. And by the looks of photos released today, Kim Kardashian can't resist either. Which begs the question... will we be seeing bride-to-be Kim in a Vera Wang gown at her August nuptials?


    My recent window shopping at Vera Wang in New York


    Here is a sample of Vera's past two collections...

    Vera Wang's 2011 Fall / Winter Collection was given an ethereal voice... with billowing layers of organza, slim columned chantilly lace and flounces of tulle. The collection was designed to not only focus on a brides entrance but to also be about her exit. So detailing here is not only head to toe, but front to back aswell. And as no surprise there was, what is becoming Wang's signature feature, a black ribbon here and there.


    Vera Wang 2o12 Spring collection is an ode to the Paris Opera. Think young dancers floating around... artful and beautiful.

Smoldering Engagement Shoots

    I always find myself getting lost in the images of photographer Tanja Lippert. I can spend days looking at her photographs. She seems to be shooting a lot of seriously smoldering engagement shoots at the moment. Unfortunately for my Australian brides-to-be, Tanja is based in the US, but don't let that stop you from enjoying the beauty of these super-sexy engagement shoots.
