My Favorites From Vera Wang: Fall 2009

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

And here are images from Vera Wang’s Fall 2009 Bridal runway show. Leave it to Vera to create some of the most beautiful and creative designs that the bridal world has to offer. And her use of color in this collection is subtle, yet delightful. I love so many of these dresses…for so many different reasons. This isn’t the entire collection….just most of it! I couldn’t keep these images to myself, and wanted to give you a sneak peek of what will be available in stores this spring. Which gown do you like best?

More Gift Ideas

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Here are some more fun gift ideas for your bridesmaids from photoworks.com. Include a picture of your maids on the lid along with a piece of jewelry inside, and this small silver keepsake box for $40 is a really cute option. The keychain for $26 with three mini photo charms is also adorable. Each time she grabs her keys, your bridesmaid will be reminded of special times you’ve spent together. Or buy one for yourself to see your great bridesmaids on a daily basis!
