Divine Indeed: Divine Couture Gowns

This dress is stunning. I love the bare back. I also love the ruffles. The ruffles give the dress a soft touch. It is made by Divine Couture and there are more great dresses in this collection.




Here are a few gorgeous choices from Divine Couture:

Crown Me Please: Which Goose Custom Crowns

If you saw the "Sex and the City" movie, you know that Carrie wore a bird on her head on her wedding day. Well, if you don't want to go that far, here is a perfect alternative, Which Goose Custom Crowns. I think that any of these would do just fine. Buy one of these or inquire about your custom job here.

Looking for an unique bridal hat, then look no further than denishe Hats. These hats are very different from anything that I have seen before. So if your taste is a little left of mainstream, then these designs may work for you. See the entire collection here.

Do As The Scots Do: David Purves Bridal

Scottish-born designer, David Purves definitely believes in pushing the envelope and testing the waters. His bridal collection ranges from the drop dead gorgeous to borderline bizarre. It is so evident that he worked for John Galliano. If it is range that you are looking for, then Purves' designs may be what you are looking for. Dresses 7 and 8 are my favorites.

The Way A Man Should Smell: Prada Men's Cologne

Okay. I am a magazine junkie and my monthly magazine trip to B&N always includes picking up Details, American GQ, British GQ, and Men's Vogue. It is important for us girls to stay in the know about what's going on in the world of men. So while perusing Details (which is my favorite men's magazine because the writing is witty and sarcastic), I came across the most amazing smell and it was Prada. It stopped me in my tracks. I am a fragrance person... I have no problems stopping a total stranger to ask what they have on. This is the way a man should smell for sure. So if you are looking for a great gift for the groomsmen, this is it. Available all over but definitely at Saks Fifth Avenue.

Wrapped in Luxury: The Tailor's Chest

I love this beautiful wrap from The Tailor's Chest. See more here.

The Fabulousness of Handbags: Ananas Handbags

Designer Jennifer Baum Lagdameo is the brainchild behind Ananas Handbags and what a creative gal she is. I love these wonderful handbags from her collection. You can purchase these bags and see her entire collection on her web site. Just might make lovely bridesmaids gifts. These are my favs (the first one is my absolute favorite):

The Brit and The Desert: Amanda Wakely

British designer. Amanda Wakeley launched her signature label in 1990 and over the last decade and a half has developed an international reputation for designing supremely luxurious, elegant women’s wear and accessories. Her Desert Collection of bridal gowns is exquisite. I like the fact that she is self-taught and agree with me that clothes really affect your mood. These gowns should inspire thoughts of Arabian Knights. See her entire bridal collection here. Here are my favs:

The Bride's Beautiful Adornment: Carolina Amato Tiaras

I am not a tiara kind of person but I can definitely see the attraction, especially if you are wearing your hair up. Here is a beautiful collection from Carolina Amato Bridal. See the entire collection here.

The Groom's Beautiful Adornment: Atelia Yozu Cufflinks

Tribeca Foundry decided that after years of being the source of countless collections, that the time was right for them to finally create a collection They put an amazing amount of attention and creativity into cufflinks designs that are one-of-a-kind precious works of art. They use gold, precious gemstones, exotic material and the finest workmanship are part of the mix. If your man doesn't like any of these, then he should. See their entire collection on their web site. These are my picks:
