I have heard a lot of buzz lately around different hair accessories for brides.  At my friend’s wedding last month, she took off her veil after the ceremony and replaced it with a beautiful flower.  Aside from a flower there are a ton of different options out there for your hair.  If you are looking [...]

I’ve lost about 14-15 pounds as my 10/10/10 wedding approaches, but so far I’ve still got the jiggly arms since I haven’t been doing weight training consistently. My dress is strapless and I’m worrying about the chicken cutlets that threaten to hang out over the sides of my dress. Eeks!!!

How many of you have been out shopping for a bridesmaid dress?  I had the chance to experience the selection process first-hand, and it is not pretty.  I went to two shops, Bella Bridesmaid in Los Gatos, and Flair Bridesmaids in San Francisco.  The two stores are upscale and are light and [...]

First comes the dress, and then the shoes. For some brides, they’re an afterthought.

I’ve been going through the shoe search myself, and it’s been quite a battle [...]
