Cuckoo clocks, Givenchy and other wedding style tips

A blogger we love, Grace Bonney, editor at DesignSponge, tweeted recently that she still loves cuckoo clocks, even though the trend has passed. Trend, shmend, I say!  I tell my brides, trends don’t matter, use what you love.  It’ll cycle back, so you’re always ahead of the crowd.  Think about it – what goes around comes around. Then there are those styles that never leave- think about Audrey Hepburn’s Givenchy wardrobe, or to be more down-to-earth, a great pair of black knee-high riding boots.  Riding boots were in style in 1875, 1975, and I promise women be sporting them when stepping out of their flying cars in 2075, looking as sharp as ever. They’re a classic.  It’s a good concept to keep in mind when you’re thinking about your wedding style. You don’t want to look back at your  pictures and groan about your choices.  Think timeless, and think of what you love, not what the editor of Brides’ magazine is so breathless over.  After all, it’s not her wedding.

Polo gallops into fashion week – Hot new trend: Village Chic

Fashion Week rolls on here in Palm Springs!  FW events and parties so far have been the bee’s knees. (And that bee is a 5′ 11 blonde with a sort of cool/messy shag and no hips.  And looks fabulous in everything).  Oh be patient people, the title will make sense by the time you’re done reading.

Philanthropy is the focus of some events, and we love that.   We are so honored when charities choose us to help with decor for an event they are holding, and we’re doing just that on Saturday at the Empire Polo Club when they hold their 2011 Champions Cup benefitting Martha’s Village, a local homeless services non-profit. There’s a Polo match, and a formal lunch and looks like a terrific event. Tickets are still available, see the details below.  Hope to see you there, fashion plate!

PS – the Polo Club is also an event venue. Brides, do double duty and check out the space!

There's still time! Come out for the event!
