Gorgeous Necklace

If you are looking for a modern twist on the tradition pearl necklace - this necklace from KEP is it! This gorgeous white quartz multi-strand necklace would be a gorgeous statement piece for a modern bride. I love the pale blue accent reminiscent of the popular tiffany blue color to.

Celebrity Wedding Weekend

It has definitely been a VERY busy weekend on the celebrity wedding front!

Ruben Studdard, the Season 2 American Idol Winner, married Surata Zuri McCants on Saturday. The lavish wedding took place in Birmingham and included 20 groomsmen!

Joy Bryant also choose Saturday to marry stuntman David Pope. They choose a private residence in Amagansett, NY for their beachside wedding.

Chris Cattan choose Yosemite Valley, California as the location for his Saturday wedding to model Sunshine Tutt.

And last, but not least, Chris Evert married Greg Norman in the Bahamas on Saturday. According to PEOPLE, the bride wore a gown by Carolina Herrera - and yes, that means EYE CANDY for you:) Here are some of my favorites from the Spring 2009 runway collection, courtesy of Brides. Enjoy!

OMG

Oh My Beautiful Goodness!

Is that not the most beautiful thing ever? Okay maybe not “EVER” but it is definitely sweet. Credit goes to Jaime for finding this $1.9 Million handbag by designer, Ginza Tanaka.  The handbag features platinum and more then 2,000 diamonds.

If I had a million dollars….

Custom Ties

I LOVE these customized ties from Zazzle! They are a great, affordable gift idea and would be a wonderful way to jazz up your guy’s tux as well. You can customize it to any color you wish, or upload an image to use on the tie. You can also add text if you wish.

Aimee Huh?

Normally, I am a fan of Aimee Atelier. The dress she made for the movie, Made of Honor - was stunning:

But this one is a definite “Huh?” - It kinds of reminds me  of toilet paper draping.

InStyle Sneak Peak

The Summer issue of InStyle Weddings will be on shelves shortly, but they have a sneak peak of some of the goodies you will find in the newest issue: including 45 stunning gowns! Here are some of my favorites:

I LOVE this Tara Keely gown! It is probably my favorite of the lot. I love the unique color and the tie-back detailing. VERY sexy!

I like this exposed back look, it’s a great look for a destination or beach wedding. These two are from Jenny Packman and Jim Hjelm. The next gown is a stunning lace piece by Jim Hjelm as well.

Funky Pink & Black Wedding!

3 weeks ago, I started a new position with a locally based company that produces a bridal magazine. One of my many responsibilities is updating the website and adding our real wedding features to the site. I had to share this one that I added this past week! It’s so spunky! The bride is actually the little sister of a girl I went to high school with (one of the bridemaids )! I LOVE the dress, with the bright pink underskirt- very nice!

Check out the rest of this wedding and the other real weddings I added on Your Wedding… Imagine!

Pin Up Girl Hair Glam

Check out these amazing flowers and fascinators from Pin Up Girl clothing! They have a retro glam look to them, and would make an awesome statement for a unique, modern bride or a vintage wedding. I want the second one just for myself, lol.

Brooke & Reem Acra

I have a problem - I’ll admit it. I check regularly for celebrity wedding news and each time the first thing I look for is the dress designer, lol. I LOVE a chance to show off some dresses. This weekend, Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller gave us an excuse to check out Reem Acra. The couple married on Friday night and Brooke choose to wear a white Reem Acra. So - in honor of the new couple - let’s check out some amazing gowns from Reem Acra’s Spring 2009 runway! Enjoy:)
