I love the simplicity of these designs.  The lines and choice of fabric compliment the designs extremely well.  Visit the J Crew website for the entire collection, but here is a sneak peak for the curious.

With Spain’s big World Cup win, I thought I’d blog about some of my favorite Spanish Wedding customs.

1. In true Spanish wedding tradition the bride will wear a traditional silk, black dress with an accompanying black lace veil held in place by combs.

A bride from the Andalusia region may wear a flamingo style dress to honor the old Spanish wedding customs of that region.

2.Brides carry orange blossom bouquets or wear wreaths or tiaras decorated with orange blossoms. This is to symbolize a life of happiness and fulfillment for the couple.

3.In Spanish wedding customs, the wedding ceremony is held in the early evening.

4.The bride and groom will give their guests small wedding favors.

The Groom will also give the men cigars at some time during the reception.

The bride will give the women who are single small pins that are worn upside down. A Spanish wedding custom says that if a woman looses the pin during the reception she is believed to be the next to get married.

5. The bride is expected to embroider a groom’s wedding shirt to wear at the wedding ceremony.

Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher are getting married in July, the Ottawa Citizen has learned.

The specific date and location remain under wraps and that seems to be fueling speculation and gossip about the high-profile nuptials between the singer and hockey player.

Can’t wait to find out the color scheme, wedding gown and bridesmaids’ dresses styles.  And where will they marry – Ottawa?  I hope!!!  I’m sure this wedding is going to be gorgeous!

The only news I heard through fellow bloggers is that the wedding cake will be one of cupcakes.  We’ll have to wait to see if this is correct!
