Falling in LOVE with... June

Each month we write a piece we like to call falling in love with...  It always features a different topic or focus, but the theme is always the same LOVE.  Nutty, head-over-heels, just gotta blurt it out LOVE.

June 2013- 

Gerber Daisy Bouquets

They are full of color and personality.  Not only are the Gerber Daisies a hearty flower that come in a wide range of colors; they are playful and give a unique look to any wedding arrangement.

This is why they have stolen our hearts.  Bright, bold and big.  The three B's of floral must haves are all right here.

With all of the color options and the ease with which they can be dyed, Gerber Daisies can be found or created in the perfect shade for your event.  They are great for the bride looking for a flower with flare. Whether you are looking for a stand alone bloom or an accent flower to really make your bouquets pop, this bud really brings it.

We LOVE Gerber Daisy Bouquets.

The Blushing Bride

Let's face it, not every bride wants that white wedding.  Designers know this.  In an interview, Vera Wang said she pushes herself to create gowns that are outside the normal realm of the 'white wedding' dress.  Other designers also try to incorporate color into their collections.

So we have put together a list of our top five favorite blush gowns.

Falling in LOVE with... May

Each month we write a piece we like to call falling in love with...  It always features a different topic or focus, but the theme is always the same LOVE.  Nutty, head-over-heels, just gotta blurt it out LOVE.

May 2013-   Falling in LOVE with Vera Wang "LOVE" collection.

Vera Wang truly makes a statement in her new line of engagement rings.  Her "LOVE" collection has me head over heals with the unique design that anyone could easily fall for.  Her beautiful style combines a cluster of sparkle that any woman would love to oogle over. The focus in each design is not just in the single center stone but in the accent stones surrounding it, throughout the band itself.  Each design includes a stone, that was believed in the 12th century to test the purity and commitment of a woman, the Sapphire.  It was believed that the deep azure of the stone would fade if their wife had been unfaithful. The Sapphire symbolizes romantic love, truth and commitment. The royal family has included Sapphires in their engagement rings for generations.  Queen Mother, Princess Anne and Lady Diana Spencer all wore rings adorned with the detail included in all of the Love by Vera Wang designs..

To accent your stunning Vera Wang "LOVE" collection engagement ring on your big day, consider these matching drop earrings. They are stunning and they carry the added bonus of something blue.

Vera Wang, unofficial queen of the wedding scene, has won the wedding world and my heart with this new collection of engagement jewelry.  With designs to suit any style, we are in LOVE.

Sash it up!

Let's face it ladies, even the prettiest wedding gowns sometimes need a little help to make a girl in a great gown look like a bride.  Accessories are crucial to your wedding day look.  And sometimes the most jaw dropping, show stopping accessory of all can be easily overlooked.
On the popular television show Say Yes to the Dress Atlanta, Monte says that "Jacking up" or accessorizing your gown is a very important part of shopping for a wedding gown.  When the accessorize the women on their program, they do their hair, fit them with jewelry and a veil, and often add a belt or sash to the gown.

A belt can take a gown that is pretty and turn it into something extraordinary.  Take this gown by Alvina Valenta.  Alone it is a beautiful mermaid style gown with lace detail along the bodice and hem, and a flare of lace along the sweetheart neckline that adds a touch of playful.  But in the nest photo after they have added a very simple belt with rhinestone accents the gown takes on a different feel for a different style wedding.

This belt is much less dramatic than many that are out there to choose from.  Swap out that simple sash for something more elaborate like those below, and think of how different it would be.

    

This example is from a real bride.  Chelsea Clinton added a gorgeous belt to her Vera Wang wedding gown.  It completely transformed her gown from nice to stunning.

So brides don't forget to accessorize when trying on your wedding gowns.  It could make all the difference between a dress you like and a dress you love.

April 2013-  I am in LOVE with pearls.  They seem to be popping up in every aspect of wedding fashion and decor and I couldn't be happier.  Pearls are a traditional wedding gift dating back to ancient times.  They are the world's oldest gems, and have been collected for more than 4,000 years.

Ancient cultures saw the pearl as a symbol of prestige and wealth.  It became known as a symbol of purity which led to its association with weddings.  It is still common for a pearl necklace to be passed down to a bride for her wedding day.

Not only are they symbolic, but pearls carry an unwavering elegance about them that other gems try to live up to.  Pearls, even freshwater with their imperfect shapes and colors, instantly bring class and sophistication to any young woman.

Here are some of the Pearl pleasures we LOVE this month.
