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.

I love this dress!  It is so beautiful.  She looked absolutely stunning!

The one-shoulder gowns were very popular at the Golden Globe Awards.

This silhouette is sexy, romantic and will be a top choice for many bride’s this year.

With The Princess and the Frog in movie theatres and the fact that I will be visiting Disney this year, I had to post a blog about this beautiful wedding gown.

Under it all, every girl believes in the dream”.  Kirstie Kelly has done it again in capturing the gowns of the Disney Princesses we love most.  In her newest collection she is featuring the Princess Tiana wedding gown from the movie, The Princess and the Frog.
