A Shoe for You (the Bride)

Brides need fun shoes. Nobody sees them most of the time, but they're like fun undies- knowing you have them on just makes everything better. Admittedly, you may not have a lot of time to contemplate your undies or shoes on the big day, but I think subconciously it helps to have fab footwear holding you up.

Netbride carries a line called Colorful Creations that has about a bazillion different styles, and they have everything from fun blingy strappy ( like style "Mission"), or their "Brianna Leigh" line that has silks. They have style you can dye, although you'll have to find a place that will dye shoes for you because we don't do that through NB (too messy!). The ones you can dye usually end with the numbers "30."


Here is a link to their site and the sparkly style I mentioned above:

Trends for 2010

Here are some trends for wedding wear in 2010 and designers who exemplify that trend.

1) Soft, romantic textures: think tulle, ruffles, fabric flowers both small and large. Mori Lee 2513 is one fun option.

2) Birdcage veils are still big, and hats are also very hot. Erica Koestler has some great options.

3) Keeping the wedding a little smaller, simpler, and really focusing on the special details. Doing more things yourself - like favors- to make it really personal. If you're doing a simple backyard wedding, Dessy has some great dresses from their Sandals line, and Watters and Wtoo also have some really great things.

Our website has links to all the designers we carry, so check these out!

Two Tips

Happy New Year Everyone!

This week, I would like to share one old tip(as in I knew about it) and one new- both come out of the February edition of Bride's Magazine.

Tip #1: Be sure to take your maid of honor or personal attendent with you to your alterations place at least once so they can learn how to bustle your gown. It will save you time and potential stress to have them practice so that you can make a quick change.

Tip#2: Have an extra pair of shoes on hand for the reception and keep them in the freezer- when your feet start to hurt and swell, the cold shoes will feel AMAZING.
