Fascinator Fun!

This post is an exiting one for me because if you know me, you know I love a good bargain and I am always on the hunt for a deal!! Sure, it’s always nice to check out all the top couture designer’s dresses and accessories, but let’s face it, we can’t always afford them and even if we can..it’s always nice to be able to get something that looks fabulous without breaking the bank. As I always think, if I can find something that looks just as good and is fabulous quality at a great price, then go for it! It’s also nice to mix a designer dress or outfit, with something that may be a bargain or vintage.. looks spectacular and nobody knows the difference I can assure you! You can pull it off!

When planning a wedding there are just so many expenses, so why not buy something that brings you in under budget without compromising style!

Check out my favorite beautiful accessories below from Dessy below! I know, Dessy!? They have some cute styles that look high-end designer I swear!

I am back! Yes, it’s been a little nutty the past week with my oldest daughter (4) at home and on spring break!  Mothers or fathers of young children can relate with me. So, apologies for the delay.. and I just had to make time for my brides though and dish some amazing bridal fashion finally! My little escape from the park, chicken nuggets and changing diapers (I also have a 7 month old)! Phweww,,,,and a welcome break at that!

Okay, can I just say how simply awestruck I am at how gorgeous Monique Lhuillier’s Spring 2013 Bridal Collection is! !? Hello – can we just say vintage inspired ethereal madness??! Each gown feels like it stepped out of a fairy tale and is fit for a princess, but also has a slight modern interesting twist …that only Monique can do so well! A great balance of lovely “old school” feel.. intermixed with today’s fashion savvy modern bride.  Need I say more?

With little details like a drop-waists, lots of sheer details, lace, embellishment and the very 2013 longer sleeves… these gowns are right on-trend for a fashionista bride wanting to go vintage without being too OTT. I have to say that Monique Lhuillier Spring 2013 Bridal Collection is so far one of my favorite collections! Just very wearable and realistic from runway to the alter..which is rare. Classy! Just love her!

See below for some of my most favorite pics from the 2013 runway show. My jaw is still dropping! Can I please get married again?? Not really of course! Maybe a vow renewel will be in our near  future.. Wouldn’t that be fun?

Monique Lhuillier’s understated but luxurious bridal designs have earned her a devoted clientele since she launched her business in 1996. Her second line of eveningwear has also garnered accolades and an impressive roster of clients, including Angelina Jolie, Jessica Simpson, and Tyra Banks, but Lhuillier’s best-known celebrity commission may be the dress she designed for pop star Britney Spears for her 2004 wedding to Kevin Federline. “On special occasions women should shine from within,” Lhuillier explained to InStyle writer Hal Rubenstein about her design ethos. “Their glamour should be clean. No overaccessorizing, no overstyling. It’s always dangerous to go out there in something that is not you. People should notice your personality first, not your dress.”

Enjoy these dreamy dresses! I know I am!

Have fun!!

Looking to wear a pop of something blue (or pink or red?!) for your wedding day?? These gorgeous vintage inspired blue heel pumps from Luichiny are calling your name..girlfriend..they’re calling my name and I am not even getting married (already been there), but I am buying them myself, what a great price at $89.99 and free shipping…can’t beat it!  I LOVE  LOVE these shoes because you can wear them on your wedding day and then most definitely wear them after!  So cute!!

Have you chosen your ‘Something Blue’ yet?! I have been thinking lots about this subject and sadly it’s been consuming my mind all weekend, lol! All I can think about is adorable blue shoes peeking out from under wedding dresses or pretty tiffany blue toenails,…obsessed! I really wish I wore blue wedding heels! So many fun ideas I found, see them below!

Let’s first talk tradition

What does this whole “Something Blue” traditional mean anyways? Let us discuss! Each item in this poem represents a good-luck token for the bride. If she carries all of them on her wedding day, her marriage will be happy. “Something old” symbolizes continuity with the bride’s family and the past. “Something new” means optimism and hope for the bride’s new life ahead. “Something borrowed” is usually an item from a happily married friend or family member, whose good fortune in marriage is supposed to carry over to the new bride. The borrowed item also reminds the bride that she can depend on her friends and family. As for the colorful item, blue has been connected to weddings for centuries. In ancient Rome, brides wore blue to symbolize love, modesty, and fidelity. Christianity has long dressed the Virgin Mary in blue, so purity was associated with the color. Before the late 19th century, blue was a popular color for wedding gowns, as evidenced in proverbs like, “Marry in blue, lover be true.”

Now …let’s get onto this lovely sea of azure..
