Life's a Beach...

A common dream wedding venue is the beach, and in our region, we are especially lucky to be blessed with so many sandy beaches... If you're thinking about saying your "I love you"s as man and wife on a sandy shore while waves crash, then there are the top three things to keep in mind to make sure it stays romantic, whimsical and fun.

The weather: The best times for this are November to January, and then March and April, as the air will be humid-free and crisp and chances of rain are slight... The breeze will be lovely and add so much to the mood...

The dress: Make sure the dress you select is beach-appropriate... think lighter fabrics and lose the train! Compensate with a gorgeous veil and keep the make-up light and natural!

The photography: Sunset photographs will capture your wedding forever. Make sure your photographer is ready for the perfect snaps, as well as you, the groom and anyone else who you want in those pictures!

Once in a while...

"Once in a while, 

Right in the middle of an ordinary life, 

Love gives us a fairy tale."

Runway Brides... New York Fashion Week

New York Fashion Week... four words that make every fashionista weak at the knees!

For us, nothing makes us tingle more than the perfect wedding dress, the element that brings a wedding together and the first dress the bride will wear as a married woman... arguably the most romantic item of clothing a girl will ever own or wear!

We couldn't contain our excitement when we heard that Project Runway's Season 5 winner Leanne Marshall  would be showcasing her Spring/Summer 2013 bridal collection at NYFW. Even more intrigued were we when we heard she had been inspired by none other than the most common of vegetables: the cabbage! 

What do you think? Can you see yourself making your grand entrance as Mrs. in one of these?

A vision in white - it doesn't get more romantic than this!

Ethereal and light - for a daytime wedding perhaps?

A key color this trend - for brides wishing to be bold, different but still  turn heads!
