California Couture - Part II
November 18, 2008 by admin
The Monday of the ABC conference featured stimulation of all my senses!
Monday began bright and early with discussions of how to ensure a California Couture look for our couples - with discussions about couture wedding fashion trends, hair and make up secrets, and photography styles that match client needs and expectations. We continued on with workshops about improved techniques for paper management (ie. my 3″ thick file folders LOL), and then came into the design portion at lunch, where the room exploded with over 20 different centerpiece inspirations and design elements!
Our afternoon featured lessons on fixing a bustle with unique techiques, couture napkin folding 101, and lessons on properly assisting a bride and bridesmaids with putting on a Sari. A lot of today was focused on relationships with clients and vendors and beautiful design elements.
Monday night I was able to fit in a little shopping, and by chance met Stacy of Wedding Window - a popular wedding website company. I’ve always loved what Wedding Window had to offer, but knowing the direction the company is going, has me even more excited about their next endeavors!
Part III to follow…

Bride Style: Adorn your neckline…
August 31, 2008 by admin
You’ve selected the perfect wedding gown…now be sure that you put the same thought into your neckline and how you’ll adorn it.
Although chunky jewelry is all the rage, you have to make sure it’s a compliment to your gown, and not a clash. If your gown or the top of it is very simplistic, then go ahead and wear something daring such as this butterfly pearl necklace by Gerard Yosca (that you can even borrow from www.bagborroworsteal.com )
And if your dress has any silver or metallic elements, I love this Cluster Collar Necklace designed by Majorica. It would be a beautiful addition to your neckline, especially with a more detailed dress…
There are many beautiful jewelry options…so don’t just settle for grandma’s pearls (unless they hold sentimental value for you)…but look for an incredible jewelry piece that you will be able to wear again and fondly remember your wedding day, during many other special occasions!
Enjoy shopping for your perfect neckline adornment!
