Real Wedding - Sasha Souza Events, Brooke and Mark, III
Continuing on with the real wedding by Sasha Souza Events!

Because April brings unpredictable weather, cocktails were held in a clear tent on the grounds of the winery. Guests were treated to a variety of specialty hors d’oeuvres such as lobster cones with caviar, chilled pea soup with crab stuffed green peas and cheve wine country wontons with apricot dipping sauce – they also indulged on cheese, antipasto and other delicacies on a station. Escort cards were arranged on custom made picks gleaming with crystals and set in moss.

Here is a bit more from Sasha Souza Events…
The bride’s gown is couture Vera Wang with hand sewn crystals accented under the first layer of tulle and along the waist. It was a traditional a-line gown but the crystals underneath gave it just the right amount of sizzle. The flower girls wore petite garlands of baby spray roses and carried kissing balls to match but the mother’s carried very petite nosegays down the aisle with pin accents.
Navy, Pink and White Wedding Color Palette
Today has been really fun for me…an exercise in beautiful colors! This next color palette is a classic and to me, one that will be around for a long time. Navy, accented with hues of Pink and White…

The Runways, 2007
Trendy. Perhaps the last word on earth you should think about when choosing your wedding dress. Well, sort of. Wedding dresses, in my opinion, should fit the following description…
Something timeless. Something flattering. Something that makes you feel jaw-droppingly beautiful.
And sometimes, that perfect dress just happens to be an “of the moment, oh-so-now” creation. So, let’s take a moment to review the season’s biggest wedding dress trends.
I get so many requests for help in choosing color palettes…it seems like so many soon-to-be’s have a hard time bringing colors together that work and that make sense aesthetically. For example, you may love orange and chocolate brown, but when brought together, you realize that they have a close resemblance to candy corn at Halloween.
So today, I wanted to start a series of posts that I am going to do on choosing color palettes for your wedding. I absolutely love the two that I have chosen for today and think that they are perfect for a Spring or Summer wedding .
I Love Vera, Lots and Lots of Vera
Yesterday I told you that I would post my favorite Vera Wang gowns for the 2007 season. Well, I seriously couldn’t choose. They are all GORGEOUS. Some are a lot more wearable than others, but they are all architecturally stunning. What struck me the most about this particular season, is the detail on each gown. Take a look…
Thank you all so much for your great feedback with the site design! It looks like design A is the clear winner so far! Next week, I am going to put A against a new design to see what you guys think. This round however, will end on Sunday, so don’t be shy about commenting.
One of my readers asked if I would do a little round-up of some of my favorite gowns for 2007….Um, of course!!! I still honestly believe that my wedding gown is the most beautiful gown ever in the history of wedding gowns, but I suppose there are some pretty ones out there this season. Just teasing. To me, a wedding gown is a lot like a child. Yours is always better.
I was perusing the Grace Ormonde Wedding Style site today and completely fell in love with some of the gowns that they feature for 2007. The magazine’s focus is style and high end design and it shows… the gowns on the 2007 runways that are highlighted really are drool worthy. As is everything else on this site. The flowers are GORGEOUS, the event designers are over-the-top beautiful…I could go on and on and on. Okay, focus.
Today’s post is a splurge vs. save. I tried to find gowns that were comparable either in cut or style, or at the very least, gave that ahhhh how pretty feeling for both the splurge and the steal. Here we go! The splurge gowns are all $1500 and above (most of them far more). The save dresses are $1500 and below (most of them far less).
For future reference, Inspiration Boards are my way of having a brainstorming session. It is basically just a general “look” that I pull together from a variety of sources, whether it be fine china, textiles, old paintings, anything really…just like an interior designer or a fashion designer would create for a potential client, my inspiration boards help me to find a general direction and style that I want to go in with my designs.
Okay, here we go.
My very best childhood friend, Katie, is getting married in November. Another best friend from college, Anne, is getting married in August, and another, Deana, is getting married in September. Guess what…there’s more. Sam is getting married in June and Laurie, one of my nearest and dearest, recently got engaged though still hasn’t set a date. Can you believe that!? A normal person might be totally overwhelmed with all of the plane tickets, hotel rooms, bridesmaid dresses (I am in 2 of the weddings), etc. but not me! I am obsessed with the whole wedding ordeal. I love everything about it, the showers, the parties, the dresses, the i-do’s the, everything.
