Stylish Bride Appearance at Condé Nast Dream House

Hi Ladies,

Sorry I haven’t written in a while. It was bridal market last week, and my schedule was overloaded with fashion shows and industry events. Check back in a few days for a full report!

If you are in the New York area, I would love to see you tomorrow night at the Condé Nast Dream House Event where I will be speaking with Antonia van der Meer, Editor-in-Chief of Elegant Bride Magazine. The topic is “Top Looks from Elegant Bride” and we will be discussing the best dress shapes for different body types as well as the top trends from the runway. There will be time for questions and consultations so come prepared with all your fashion quandaries. It’s going to be a great night, and I hope to see you there!!!

In Living Color

I’ve talked in this blog before about wearing color on your wedding day. In the right situation a dress in a lovely hue can be absolutely stunning. If you think that color might be the thing for you, you have to check out the fashion spread in the current issue of Elegant Bride Magazine. It’s done beautifully, and shows some great options that are out there.

Say Yes to the Dress

Ladies, for all of you that didn’t catch the premier last Friday night of Say Yes to the Dress on the TLC channel, you have to set your DVR so you don’t miss another episode! The show takes you behind the scenes of New York’s Klienfeld Bridal, the largest designer wedding shop in the country. Each episode features three different brides’ search for the perfect dress. You’ll love it…there are interviews with the brides, tons of drama, and of course, gorgeous dresses! I'm hooked!!!

Say Yes to the Dress airs on Friday nights at 10 PM ET/PT on the TLC channel.

Great Low Heel

Whether it’s because comfort is a priority or they don’t want to be taller than their fiancée, brides often ask me for a recommendation for a low heeled shoe for their wedding day. These shoes by Vera Wang are a great choice because of their simple classic design, and their 1.5” heel. And many of my brides who have worn Vera shoes on their wedding day have reported that they are very comfortable.

The style number of this shoe is 7232219 and is on sale at www.zappos.com for $291.71 down from $388.95

Vintage Details at Vera Wang

The latest collection from Vera Wang that is hitting stores now features many beautiful details: raffia belts, large silk flowers, and my favorite, antique bow broaches. I love them because they take a traditionally girly detail and make it chic and sophisticated. And who doesn’t love just a hint of sparkle!?!?

Marriage in the City

New York has been abuzz with the filming of the Sex in the City movie. Everywhere you turn, they seem to be on location shooing. As reported in all the papers, it seems that Carrie and Big finally tie the knot, because here they are filming at St. Patrick’s Cathedral.

Just wondering what you think of Carrie’s wedding dress and blue feather headpiece???? Write in and let me know!

Crystal Clear

This is something that had never occurred to me, but I want to pass on so it won’t happen to you.

Recently, a bride who was wearing a gorgeous ivory satin dress, had a red “signature cocktail” spilled all over her dress at her reception. Accidents happen…you can expect that. And she fixed the situation by borrowing a cocktail dress to change into for the rest of the party, and had a great time. But the moral of the story is: try and stick to clear cocktails if you can!

If this does happen to you, contact a dry cleaner that specialized in handling wedding dresses as soon as possible. A good place to find one is www.weddinggownspecialists.com.

Julie
