As if the term “Engagement” doesn’t freak men out enough, now we have the Mangagement. The wedding industry never ceases to amaze me on their ability to develop some new scheme to generate revenue. The new plot… engagement rings for men. Now you can mark your fiance before you wed. You can tell women to “back off’ with a “mangagement” ring for him, or if he is moving too slow in popping the question, beat him to the punch! This is a phenom that hasn’t quite developed into a true “trend” yet, and hopefully will not reach that magnitude. Continue Reading »

It is an honor to be chosen by your friends or family to be a member of their bridal party. You jump at the challenge to help your bride as she sets out making plans for her big day.

Most designers are literally taking materials directly from the earth. Making their designs from natural materials like; hemp silk, recycled cotton, vintage lace, and bamboo which can be used for structure and to make various fabrics. What a great way to help decrease our carbon footprints. Who knew being eco-chic could be so beautiful! Continue Reading »

Every article I read is telling me that one of the hit trends for wedding fashion in 2010 is going to be the Tea-length dress. While it may have it’s place in wedding attire, I am not so sure it appropriate for any wedding. I love the flirty feel to it, but I’m afraid if a veil and bouquet weren’t such a staple wedding attire accessory one might mistake the bride for a fellow guest. Continue Reading »
