Choosing your wedding Dress, Celebrity Dresses and all things Vera Wang!...

I have been memorised recently by the designs of Vera Wang. Everyone knows her as brilliant designer but she is also one of the most chosen designers by celebrities for her brilliant craftsmanship for wedding dresses!

There is a Vera Wang Wedding dress store in Sydney which I would definitely make at trip for just to have a look at her dresses! I love how she has a whole range that are red, cream and black not just the conventionally white dress!! BLACK! Who would think to wear a Black dress on their wedding day! But I have seen photos and the bride just looks stunning!! What do you think?

I think that is is great to continue with traditions in weddings otherwise where would NB Garters stand?:) ...but vera' s revolutionised wedding dresses and taken them to the next level!

By using such delicate materials of organza, tulle, silk and lace these dresses will transform your wedding day!

I think it is so wonderful how Vera can design your dress. She puts so much love and care into each and every design. She is so unique as a designer  i have fallen in love with her!

From this:

To this:

I think that this is absolutely stunning! 

Vera is so popular with celebrities at the moment too! Hillary Duff wears a Vera Wang Mermaid dress which transforms her in to a princess! She looks so grown up with her hair up too!:) This dress i great for slim or curvy girls. I just love how the vintage style mermaid dress is fitted down to her thigh I think it is so sexy! 

Kim Kardashian also chose Vera Wang for her wedding! She looks like PRINCESS! She didn't just have one dress! Kim wore 3 different Wang dresses on her big day!:) A great idea if you can't choose which dress to wear!

I wish we could all have a  Vera Wang Wedding dress!:-)

NEW range of bridal horseshoes coming soon!

Wedding horseshoes are a big tradition in Australia and America which is why I have decided to design a new collection for the modern bride. 

The horseshoe is traditionally given to the bride on her wedding day to bring the newly wedded couple good luck on their wedding day and for the rest of their marriage, The greeks also believe it will bring them fertility which I read on the Bride Guide. 

I think it is great to add another tradition to your wedding day.

I have designed a new range to add a touch of elegance and modernise the traditional bulky horseshoe!

I am pre launching one design and more will be on their way so watch this space!

How to host a Bridal Shower and Gift Ideas

Bridal Showers are is another tradition where a party is held for the bride to be and gifts given to her in anticipation for her wedding! Traditionally this took place to allow the bride to finance the wedding which has grown out of the early dowry practices.

I also think that it is a great excuse for the close family and friends of the bride to get together and talk everything wedding!!

It has become popular to theme the bridal shower party too. Some like to dress up and theme the food. I also like the idea of using it as an excuse as a cometic or lingerie party. That way the bride gets her lingerie and make up all ready for the wedding day! I also love the idea of a high tea where you can all be ladies:) Easy Wedding has some brilliant gift ideas listed here.

A few gift ideas that are given at the bridal shower:

I love this vintage bridal lingerie. It would make a great gift that would help toward the wedding.

I also love the idea of bridesmaids robes! They make a great gift for the whole party and they make for great photos at the end of the day!

Another great gift( if done in advance to the wedding is a wedding magazine subscription! There are loads of mags out there to choose from and what a great gift! You can probably get online versions for the iPad if your feeling generous!:)

The bridal shower is also a great opportunity for family to pass on items that want to be include in the wedding, such as rings, dresses something borrowed, something blue etc! Many mothers of brides contact us for garters in time for their bridal shower to give to their daughters as their gift:
