cooking up wedding ideas

We don’t know what Judd Waddell was voted in high school, but we’re guessing it was, “Most Likely to Make Women Swoon Over Bridal Gowns,” or… something like that.  Based on our experience having the always-terrific Judd at Hitched for trunk shows, brides swoon over his designs and love the low-key designer’s way of making [...]

Whether you opt for a traditional Malay attire of kebaya and kurung or a [...]

Wedding dresses are crafted in a variety of fabrics and fabric finishes, with everything from cotton to taffeta being fair game. Yet the last thing most brides-to-be are thinking about when they step into a bridal salon or log on to an online shop like House of Brides is fabric characteristics. Luckily, wedding dress designers [...]

We were so excited to sit down and chat with Judd Waddell while he was here at Hitched for his recent trunk show. Judd is one of our favorite designers (and is just an all-around terrific guy), so we were thrilled to get the inside scoop about his life as a designer, as well as [...]

I scoured the interwebs for vintage wedding dresses and found some gems! Some are gorgeous just how they are while others have potential of becoming a one of a kind beauty with the help of a seamstress.
1. Vintage 1950s Shelf Bust Full Skirt Wedding Dress. This strapless dress has a dreamy feel with its tulle [...]

Your bridesmaids would do anything for you… travel across the country to attend your wedding?  Check.  Throw a thoughtful and not-cheesy bridal shower?  Check.  Host a bachelorette party that goes down in girls-night-out history?  Check!  But there's one thing you should never ask your favorite girls to do:  wear an unflattering bridesmaid dress!  Lucky for them, [...]

“The collection is inspired by two trends: One, simple lines with close-fitting gowns. And the other, spectacular volume.” With the first, come feminine and modern wedding dresses. With the second, you see voluminous silk taffeta and silk organza paired with simple bodices. Basically, there’s a little something for everyone.

Hellllooooo, Audrey Hepburn fans and lovers [...]

Last year I made a list of 10 vintage inspired wedding dresses for under $500 and I couldn’t help but look around to see what I could find this year, and surprise – the post is humongous!
“Prioritize” seems to be the it verb for weddings on a small budget lately, and for some brides, dresses [...]

Selling booties and stealing from Vogue will not make you so.
I was planning to stop dissing J. Crew after I pissed so many people off the last time. I mean, I get it. They make simple, mid-range wedding dresses that can be accessorized very well.
But…srsly?

It was an evening fashionistas were looking forward to, and the highly anticipated runway show of celebrated designer Eric Choong did not disappoint. The moment rows and rows of young ballerinas appeared on the runway (and there were many of them, filling the entire runway), all conversation was silenced mid-way. Eric Choong, as we know [...]

Before the start of the evening, I did not know what or how much to expect from Syarifah Kirana.  Don’t get me wrong, I have heard of her and her work countless times but I must say, I was pleasantly surprised that evening with her collection at Asia Magic Gala night.  A clever combination of [...]

Congratulations to PIW on the launching of their Celestial collections at Malaysia International Fashion Week.

An exciting opening by the models!

Last night James Coviello celebrated the opening of his new New York City shop with a little party hosted by Anna Sui. Jeffery Marcus, whom I’m proud to have as a Perfect Bound sponsor, designed the florals for the party and was kind enough to share his work with us today. As you may remember, [...]

I know, I know…cart, horse, whichever isn’t supposed to come first, whatever. I just couldn’t help but post about the dresses that I’ve been looking at so far as contenders. Really, it’s more the look of these dresses and the colors that stick out to me.
I like the multi-colored look, but do you think it’ll [...]

We love all of the different looks we’re seeing on bridesmaids lately, from a range of colors to a range of styles.  Our new favorite twist, though, has to be the two-tone bridal party.  The blocks of color look so fresh, don’t you think?  [...]

I’m known for my love of retro styles, but every once in a while I get a hankering for high fashion couture—think runway worthy embroidery and beading—with a modern edge. Enter Temperley London. The collection features flattering dresses that can work for a variety of weddings, [...]

On Sunday I had the amazing opportunity to attend the Monique Lhuillier Fall 2010 bridal show. I sat next to Bee and Mrs. Penquin from Weddingbee, and Anne-Marie from Perfect Bound. The dresses in person we’re truly ethereal–floaty–loveliness. The shape for most of the dresses this season was a structure A-line with a very minimal [...]
