I have something a little different for you this beautiful Monday morning. I am sticking with the stunning 2016 bridal collections that were unveiled at NY Bridal Fashion Market earlier this month, but where as Claire Pettibone’s was hauntingly romantic, today’s collection from designer Don O’Neill at Theia is somewhat edgier – definitely for the…

I imagine there must be nothing more beautiful than walking down the aisle is a family heirloom. A much loved dress, so elegant and timeless, warn by your mother or perhaps even your grandmother. For those of us who love the style and sentiment, but are not lucky enough to be in possession of one…

As a designer I tried on during my search for the one, and would have worn (I fell hard for an elegant 1950s style number with pockets!) if only our venue’s aisle had been a little wider, I have long been a fan of Jesús Peiró and their elegant designs that shine with sophisticated simplicity. And…

Not so long ago, finding an eco chic wedding dress was a challenge.

Allowing creative designers…
