bows bows bows

I just adore a good bow... I'm a girly, girl!  I drool over BOWS!  I remember my first Formal Gown was from Saks. It was a red Victor Costa Gown, with a huge bow that was part of the front panel, AMAZING!  My next gown was a black velvet and blue peau de soie, TO DIE FOR dress with a huge green bow on the back (that gown is in a trunk in my garage). Then there was the pink ruched, drop waisted ruffled gown from the new store in town, Nordstrom (it was the eighties).

OH I LOVE BOWS, 25 yrs later!

This Dior wedding gown is from a Victoria Magazine Shoot 1992.  I wanted this gown so badly but I was just to small to pull it off.  It is English net with an amazing silk bow!

Let Them Eat Cake

YUMMY! YUMMY! YUMMY CAKE!

Everyone has their idea of the most important elements of a wedding.   For me, its a gorgeous gown, a stunning bouquet and yummy CAKE! I love a good cake. Not a fussy, over worked cake, just a pretty, classic cake that looks like it was baked in grandmas kitchen

Sparkle Obsession

~The Magic of The Shoes~

     Shoes, all girls love them!  Dorthy was obsessed with her Ruby slippers and Carrie loved her Manolo's.  Unfortunately we may not be able to afford the shoes that make our heart pitter patter and a small deep sigh escape our mouth.  A beautiful pair of shoes is a piece of art.  Bridal shoes should be coveted, displayed, and deeply admired.  Your shoes, like your wedding gown, should be like no other pair of shoes that have or will ever touch your dainty toes...

Sweet Sweets and more Sweets

     I just adore sweets..... pink with sprinkles, chocolate with butter cream, you name it, I love it.... I'm so taken by sweet tables at weddings... they can be warm and inviting and a big kids delight.... I remember wanking in Paris and looking in all the beautiful storefront windows, at the confection dreams..I'm delighted by a well thought out sweet table at a wedding.. wonderful memories come flooding back..
