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.

a classic gown, for a timeless beauty.

Fashion and Flowers: A perfect Match

We were brushing up on our bridal fashion when we stumbled across this dress on WeddingBee.com (a super wedding blog). The simple elegance reminded us of our recent arrangement for a Fashion Week event, so we had to post it!  It’s Carolina Herrera, and as they wisely noted on WeddingBee, perfect for a chic city-hall bride. We’ll add that it’s just as perfect for a cool destination bride  – this is a Palm Springs dress if we ever saw one. Plus, we’ve already worked out the bouquet (imagine something based on the below with black ribbon…gorgeous), and envisioned an entire beautiful black-and-white themed decor scheme, um…hello…someone should take advantage of all our hard work!  Enjoy Fashion Week everybody.  Work that runway, girls!
