Critic's Choice Awards 2013 Best Dressed...paired with Bella Fiore Clutches

 Leslie Mann in Monique Lhuillier would have finished off her "shades of pink" look with this all fuchsia clutch...which by the way did actually walk the red carper at the Emmy's last year :)

 Emily Blunt in Miu Miu : Emily looks like a goddess in this beautiful ivory dress with golden accents.  This Bella Fiore clutch is in ivory and the fabric flower is a brocade ivory with gold accents.  A rhinestone center adds a little glam factor.

 This blue stunner that Emmy Rossum wore is so elegant.  I love nothing more than a contrasting clutch color, what better than lime green!?  This Bella Fiore clutch is a beautiful shade of light lime green.  The flower is several shades of dark blue.  Peacock feathers and a rhinestone add extra glam and make it pop!

 Helen Hunt in Philip Armstrong: this beautiful coral dress would look lovely with this coral Bella Fiore clutch.  The pop of lime green adds that extra "something" to make her stand out even more.

Nina Dobrev in Monique Lhuillier and Brian Atwood...this clutch would have been the perfect accent to her textured teal dress.  the polka dots in the teal fabric lend to the same texture in her dress and the peacock feather just adds a little more drama.

 These are all real Brides with their beautiful Custom Clutch Collection designed by me.  Unique to each of their wedding vision :)

Dogs in Weddings

I've been toying with the idea of doing a flower "collar" for dogs to wear in weddings. If my rowdy puppies could be trusted, and my husband and i ever renewed our vows..i would want my boys to be apart of the day. take a peek at some of these pics of other puppies taking part in their parents big day. i love the chocolate labs HUGE nose with the ring placed on it...so cute! but my favorite is the pic with the boxers...i'm a boxer owner and i'm partial...AND they are wearing YELLOW, my FAVORITE color right now!!

Pomander balls and Parasols

if i were to get married again...carnation pomander balls would be my center pieces. these flowers are inexpensive and when packed together on a ball they make a chic and sophisticated statement. i also would be getting married somewhere in the South in a grove of trees dripping in moss with a most fantastic plantation mansion in the backdrop with a wrap around veranda deck.

hanging from the trees along with the fantastic moss would be paper lanterns, and MORE carnation pomander balls...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, i think my husband and i need to renew our vows so i can make this happen!!

golden globes

Yellow...oh how i love thee....

Pantone Color Trends for Spring/summer 2012

So Pantone picks the colors that will be featured per season. Wedding World is often steered in the directions of the colors they have chosen. Above you will see the colors that have been picked for the Spring/Summer season of 2012. Bellow I've put together two purses based on two pairs of the colors Chosen. The first pairing is Solar Power (yellow) with Bellflower (Lavender/Mauve) I personally love when colors that are opposite the color wheel are placed together. Purple and yellow being one of my favorites. This purse is shown with 6 different yellow dresses in varying shades. If you are the kind of bride that let's their bridesmaid pick their dress, but give them a color guide line, this would be a great example for you.
This wedding dress shown bellow with the beautiful yellow flower belt is one of my favorites right now. Found in Anthropologie's Wedding Collection http://www.bhldn.com it's sure to catch your guests attention. I see this dress perfect for the garden fete.
I love an unexpected color for a wedding gown, silver happens to be a favorite of mine. Whether it's your second wedding or you just like to shake things up a bit, this dress would fit the bill. This ruffled beauty is also found in Anthropologie's Wedding Collection.
This Bridesmaid Clutch is based on the pairing of Driftwood (a slate gray) and Tangerine Tango (name says it all) Gray has been a big hit in wedding world colors. Although mostly paired with yellow, orange does not pale in comparison.
