I LOVE Couture fashion. Particularly, when I can apply it to my weddings. Admittedly, it's been a really long time since I've been in Awe by any designers collection, however, I'm happy to report that the fabulous, always inspiring, John Galliano has delivered in the Christian Dior Spring/Summer 2010 Collections!
Following are my favorite pieces for Brides, Maids of Honour, Mother of the Brides and even the Groom! All of which, would be mindblowing for any wedding.

I think we can all agree that food is one of the most important things at a wedding, but have you thought about appearance? I cannot emphasize this enough, Presentation is everything! It's the difference between your guests saying "well, that was lovely'' to "Wow! Now that was an experience!"
Following are some beautiful presentations that are super unique that I love!
Instead of the traditional wedding cake, how about kicking it up a notch with an actual 'cheese' cake? There are many places in the city you can get this done. One place that is to die for is the Cheese Boutique on Ripley Avenue. They have any type of cheese you can dream of, and if they don't have it, I am sure they can get it.
Does anyone remember the days when human food platters or beautiful ice mounds of different caviar's were the luxurious trend? Well, I say bring them back! Be unique with a Caviar and Vodka Ice bar. For that chic artistic couple, dare to be different by having a human sushi platter with strategically placed sushi in the shape of your monogram!
Keep in mind that the quality and appearance of your wedding details should remain consistent throughout your reception.
Having an amazing cocktail hour full of signature drinks and fancy, tray-passed hors d'oeurves, would be pointless if you were just going to slap together roast beef and mashed potatoes as your main course.
Remember also, less is more with skillfully arranged, mouthwatering, culinary masterpieces.
No wedding would be complete without dessert. The other day, I was having dinner with my dear friend Melissa of et lofte events, and we were coming up with some pretty snazzy ideas! One idea that came up during dessert, was tray-passed milk and cookies! I am in love with the idea of tray-passed desserts, in lieu of a late night sweets table. It's chic and elegant, not to mention a yummy end to a fabulous day!
Happy New Year all! With the new wedding season in full swing, it is only appropriate to share some new and inspired ideas with you to make your wedding day unique! Here is my top 10 list of trends to look out for in the 2010/2011 wedding season!
10. Old Hollywood Glam Wedding Dresses: always vintage inspired, look to dresses taking you back in time to the days of Hollywood’s favorite A-listers, Katherine Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor and of course the timeless Marilyn Monroe.
8. Unique Seating Card: With couples embracing the DIY accents to their weddings, why not forfeit the typical, names in slotted cardholders and come up with something more unique and creative!
7. Purses instead of Bridesmaid bouquets: I love flowers don’t get me wrong, but I love creativity a little bit more! A nice clutch purse adorned with florals is so chic, and of course practical;)
6. Recycled Tin Cans tied on the back of your car:
Vintage, vintage, vintage! I love the old tradition of tying cans at the back of the car and off you go… luckily this trend is on it’s way back and I, for one, couldn’t be happier!
5. Butler-passed desserts: forget the candy buffets; allow your guests to feel pampered like royalty instead of a herd storming a buffet. Butler-passed desserts are elegant and really give that added touch of quality.
4. Fruit Centerpieces: Since intimate, homestyle weddings seem to be the direction we are heading this season, give your wedding a homely feel with endless colour combination's and the fragrance of wonderful fruit! Bonus feature: it's edible! Enough said;)
3. Handwritten Wedding Invitations: Couples are really looking to create that personal style these days! Hiring a Calligrapher or Hand writer really shows your invited guests that you've gone that extra mile for them!
2. Fabric or button bridal bouquet and boutonniere: in an age where eco-friendly weddings and recycling are a priority, get creative with these lovely alternatives to flowers.
1. Wedding Pies: Cupcakes. Cakes. Cupcakes. Cakes... Imagine instead, the smell of delicious, flaky, fruit-filled pastry, with my personal favorite trend: Pie!
Overall, I truly encourage you all to do two things: first, think outside the box and bring forth your combined personalities, the thing that makes you, well, you! Second, don't forget about your guests! They are going to be there to celebrate the two of you and they deserve an exclusive and fabulous experience!
One of my favorite things to do is research the net looking for things that are trendy, chic and that inspire me! Basically, things that I can share with all of my readers and newly engaged couples!
Last night I was on Etsy (secretly one of my favorite places) and came across this beautiful necklace that is simply fabulous! For all you Tiffany inspired brides out there, this necklace by Kirsten Ann, appropriately named the Miss Tiffany Necklace, is sure to be a show stopper!
