Invitations can tell a guest a lot about your wedding.  It can tell theme the color palette, dress attire, and even level of formality.  When you plan a beach/destination wedding, tell your guests everything you can in your invitations.

If your wedding is going to be on the beach, maybe you can incorporate a seashell, mini starfish or a sand dollar.  Another great way to tell your guests your wedding will be in the sand is placing a picture of some flip-flops on your invitation.

If you plan to have your ceremony close to the beach, but not directly on it, you can take a more classic approach and just show your color palette and nothing about beaches.  Your guests will know that they can dress up a bit more and not have to worry about sand getting in their shoes.

If your wedding is going to be on a boat, try adding some nautical theme to your invitation.  Maybe an anchor, or a helm.

Invitations are easy to play around with and bring uniqueness to your big day.  Have fun!

Have a fabulous day,

Vera Wang is one of my FAVORITE designers!  I first fell in love with her wedding dresses after watching “Bride Wars” with Kate Hudson.  The dress she wore in that movie was absolutely stunning!

Vera Wang’s new Spring 2012 wedding dress collection is one to impress!  She introduces dresses of all different styles.  I love how she doesn’t just stick with the color white either.  She has dresses in shades of cream, tan, green, and pink. And the best part is you do not have to pay couture price for it.  Davids Bridal offers select Vera Wang dresses at their stores, all of which are stunning!  Davids Bridal also has a collection by Vera Wang for your bridesmaids! Yay!

The other day I went to the mall and saw engagement rings designed by Vera Wang.  Just like her dresses, her rings are absolutely gorgeous!  They are the dream rings of every girl!  They are flaunted with diamonds and glitter with elegance.  They are to die for!

And why not top off your big day with Vera Wang fragrance?  My favorite of hers is the “Princess” (and No I don’t love it for the name    I purchased the body lotion awhile ago and wear it almost every day, I love it!   She even has a fragrance for men, clothing line, and home decor items at Kohl’s! What? I know Vera Wang is one busy lady!

So when planning your wedding, don’t forget to check out Vera Wang’s collection.  She has so much to offer at any price range

PS. David’s Bridal is having an Anniversary sale for White by Vera Wang  (through February 20)!

Have a fabulous day,

Wondering what you should do with your hair for the big day? I have some great ideas for all hair types!!

Long Hair

Lucky for you if you have long hair!  There are literally thousands of ways to do your hair!  But here are two general options.  If you want to flaunt your length, try going with soft, sexy waves with a cute flower tucked in a bobby pin. If you are worried about how the wind will weather your hair, try a soft undo.  Don’t style it too tight, but instead leave it loose and flowy.

Medium Hair

Medium hair can be fun to play with. If you are feeling risky you can add extensions to make it look longer or you can pin it up to make it look shorter.  Have fun and play with it! My favorite style for medium hair is a soft, elegant ponytail.  Poof it up on top and curl the ends!!  It’s sleek and sexy!

Short Hair

If you rock a shorthair style, you most likely have strong facial features.  What I can suggest is to add some bling to your hair!  Wear a cute feather, or a birdcage vail.  There are so many things you can accessorize your hair with.  Pick what is best for your day.

For your ceremony, you want to have the dress of your dreams-the 100 yards of tulle, or the pounds and pounds of lace and beads.  But when it comes to the reception, you don’t want to be carrying around all that extra added weight.  The new trend for brides is to have a SECOND dress just for the reception just like Kate Middleton did at the Royal wedding.

Usually the second dress is a much lighter style.  Some brides tend to do a shorter, maybe tea length dress, while other brides chose a more Grecian style dress that is made of silk or other lighter materials. Kate Middleton chose a full length satin dress with simple beading around the waistline.

The idea of a second dress is great.  It allows you, as a bride, to have the feeling of a princess while walking down the isle, but also the fun flirty feel while dancing your heart out at the reception.

The ladies from our company have “pinned” a few of our favorite dresses that would be great choices for the reception dress onto our board on Pinterest.  We recommend you check it out to see what style fits you best.

Happy planning,

Kristina
