Fashion: Wedding Season and You’re Invited

So you weren’t invited to the Royal wedding in Windsor this May, but you are certainly on the invite list for a wedding of someone much more meaningful and now on a hunt for that perfect dress, like me right now – for a  summer winery outdoor wedding and another formal evening one in the city mid-fall.  Here’s what I found so far to consider.      

Fashion: Unique Wedding Gowns

I always strive to be unique – which some may refer to as being rebellious? While I strolled along the shopping district in every city and small town I came across in England, Scotland and France, I was most taken away by unique fashion trends, in bold colors, patterns, mixed fabrics and anything that worked to my eyes. I found myself trying to convince my friend to appreciate what I see in those fashion statements. So the other day I found these wonderful wedding gowns and as usual felt the need to share:  

fashion week – nyc 2013 – christian siriano

While traveling through Paris (Which I will cover shortly), I cannot help but focus more on fashion then anything else and since this is fashion week in NYC, I decided to share my favorites from Christian Siriano Spring 2013 collection from here:

fashion week – nyc 2013 – zac posen

I needed to shift gears for a minute since we are in the middle of fashion week in New York. I cannot help but be completely inspired by the Spring 2013 collection which I have seen here. Here are some of my favorites from designer Zac Posen Spring 2013 collection

wedding day countdown

Tic toc, tic toc is the best I could jot down to express the number of hours and day remaining to the wedding of the century (at least from where I am sitting:) ).  And of course I don’t need to tell anyone, weddings are probably the most stressful thing to experience (I am still trying to figure out why that is) While we plow through the to-do list, I can’t help but go over the details in my head over and over and over again just to make sure we don’t forget anything. Being a wedding planner is a b**** (oops did I say that out loud). Anyway, through photos, I can give a glimps of what goes through my head, even while I am writing this blog entry.

bridal party in pinks and lavender

It is officially “the wedding season” and with it, the collection of beautiful pastel colored bridal party gowns are finally making their way, slowly but surely into the traditional department stores and boutiques (online doesn’t count in this case) and although there are many beautiful colors on display, I can honestly say various shades of pinks and lavender from here are my favorites:

little black cocktail dress

I have to admit, although I love color, I cannot get enough of black when it comes to fashion.  I should have worked for Chanel :). With that said, I am in a desperate search for a cocktail dress for a party I am hosting. Although, I have been asked to wear a long gown, I cannot help admire some of the little black cocktail dresses which I have found here. Which one do you like?  Guess which one I liked?  I will reveal my choice tomorrow
