I really tried to visit designers that push the envelope and work to bring brides something special and unique. Of course, there is Vera and Oscar, but I fell in love with Sarah Jassir.

There were so many different options available. I loved the sexy neckline on Swoon as well as delicate touch of the lace cap sleeves on Allure. I totally adored the lace sleeves on Serene and the racy deep peephole on Passion. But my favs were definitely Amore, Adore, and especially Romance. I love the gorgeous colors in Amore and Romance and the flirty floral fun of Adore.

Visit their web site to find a wedding salon near you that carries Sarah Jassir line.

After watching the William and Kate's wedding this morning, as well as a documentary on the late Princess Diana's jewelry, I could not wait to tell you about MsBellezza's jewelry line.

I totally got to feast my eyes on these gorgeous pieces - up close and personal. When I opened the boxes, I was blown by all of the sparkle. It was full of that bling that brides love so much. Oh hell, the bling that I love so much!!! Using Swarovski crystals, semiprecious stones, and exquisite metal and beadwork in the design of each piece, MsBellezza Jewelry [miz-be-LET-za] will help the bride, bridesmaids and mothers of the bride and groom bring on the bling.

What made me even more excited to share this line with you was because of the prices. I could not believe that most of the pieces in this jewelry line fall under $200. There are a few pieces in their Premiere Collection that are over $300 but rightfully so. But you can own a stunning piece of jewelry for your wedding day that definitely will not break the bank.

Here are the pieces that I viewed. Most pieces are from the Statement Jewelry or Premiere Collections:




Here are some lovely options under $150:

Come Over & Over, $140.00


The Betty, $120.00


Secret Garten, $40.00


Silver Screen, $120.00


Gypsy Song, $120.00


Champagne Cheers, $140.00


Everyday is Friday, $120.00

I am loving these packaged panties by Affinitas. Perfect for a wedding day quick change (hey, stuff happens!) or as bachelorette party favors, bridesmaids gifts or to bring along on the honeymoon! You get a pack of three for $28.00.

At just 4” x 4”, these cutie patootie packages make the perfect travel companion – discreet enough to bring just about anywhere. Stash a pack or two in your luggage for the destination wedding and honeymoon, and never worry about security going through your unmentionables again! Offered in both hipster and thong styles, Packaged Panties by Affinitas are fabricated from comfy stretch lace and mesh, in One Size Fits Most (approx 0-8). Panties come three solid colors to a pack in the following colorways: Ivory/Nude/Black, Aqua/Hot Pink/Turquoise and new for Spring, Pistachio/Sand/Baby Blue. Too cute, right?

Available at Her Room.

For added bling, both modern day and vintage accessories are also available. Yet despite the influence of these indelible eras, Echerverry’s items all have a hip and timeless flair that are perfect for the modern fashionista...and are not available at your local department store!

Whether you’re looking for a knock ‘em dead party dress, a classic wedding gown or you simply desire to set yourself apart from the “off the rack” set, UniqueVintage.com beats sifting through flea markets for that perfect piece.

The Unique Vintage brick and mortar store is located at: 2013 W. Magnolia Blvd., Burbank, CA 91506

Roses love weddings!

With the flowers it's a good idea to consider the day as a whole. The wedding flowers can be part of the bridal bouquet or present at the church, so they are of the utmost importance.

Beautiful flowers can be simple or elaborate, subtle or vibrant and bouquets can be custom designed or simple in their very essence. When considering the arrangements, roses are the natural choice as they are neither flamboyant nor insipid and simply know their place and allow the bride to take centre stage! They wrap their comforting arms around those celebrating, but never inhibit or intrude.
