Three of my Wedding Day favorites --
The perfect shade of RED lipstick
A WHITE (well, more like pearl) Winnie Couture charmeuse gown with a deep V-neck. This gown would go well with a destination wedding on the beach.
And a pair of jeweled BLUE satin sandals by Manolo Blahnik.
Enjoy a great holiday weekend!

Wouldn't you just love to have your "something borrowed" be a diamond tiara made by Cartier!
My goodness!
According to the 2011 Royal Wedding website, this "halo" tiara was made in 1936. The Duke of York (think Colin Firth's character in the King's Speech) purchased this tiara for his Duchess of York (later Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother). Story has it that he purchased this tiara three weeks before he succeeded his brother, Edward, as the King.
When their daughter (now Queen Elizabeth) turned 18, this tiara was given to her. Today, the new Duchess of Cambridge (Kate) wore this tiara on her royal wedding day. And, I must say that this tiara went well with Kate's elegant wedding gown (designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen).
Hopefully, this isn't the last of this beautiful tiara!
Enjoy your wedding day Kate!

I am a fan of structured gowns -- especially in the color, red.
Sandra Bullock rocked this Vera Wang gown at the Oscars earlier this week.
It really was a gorgeous look.
What do you think?

Halle Berry can do no wrong. Her Marchesa gown was stunning. Her diamond earrings were just right for her Oscar night look. And, let's be honest -- no one rocks a short haircut like Halle.

I am only 5' 2" tall, so I can definitely see the value of wearing a short wedding gown. The challenge with a short gown is making sure that you don't look like you are headed to a barbecue.
Amsale released some short wedding gowns last fall that are perfect for a wedding day.

For the last week, I have read numerous tweets and Facebook posts about Cynthia Bailey's wedding gown created by Rubin Singer.
"It wasn't traditional!"
"It wasn't white"
"It was too dark!"
"It was too much!"
Are you kidding me? That wedding gown was fantastic. No, it was flawless.
It looked like a luxurious ball gown. And, with all of the country and rustic wedding trends right now, we don't get to see formal wedding dresses very often any more.
The back of the wedding gown was hot! I wish I had the figure to pull that look off.
And, the gown's platinum color was stunning. It complemented her skin perfectly.
I love it when a bride customizes her wedding day look to fit her, and that is exactly what Cynthia Bailey did.
It was awesome.

I love it when a great white dress can also make a fabulous wedding gown.
And, this dress from the Calvin Klein Spring 2011 Ready to Wear Collection has all of the makings of a gorgeous wedding gown.

If you haven't seen the new line of affordable wedding dresses created by Punk Rock Bride, you should check them out!
Emma was formed in 2010 by the creators of Punk Rock Bride, who wanted to give brides an alternative to the traditional wedding dress for a reasonable price.
But, don't worry -- You won't sacrifice the luxury or drama of a wedding dress just because it cost less than $1,000. All of the dresses in the Emma collection feature the same fun "edge" as the original Punk Rock Bride line.
I really like the length and the material used to create this A-line wedding dress, called Sophie. The main layer is created with silk georgette, and the skirt includes two additional layers of silk chiffon.
If you know me, you probably know that I hated my wedding gown because of a big bow on the back. Well, call me crazy, but I really like the bow on the back of this dress, called Jamie.
This is my second time professing my admiration for a Punk Rock Bride dress. Punk Rock Bride takes a unique approach to traditional wedding gowns by incorporating non-traditional fabrics and mixing multiple layers to add texture and depth to every design.
