Hi Friends,
I have really been researching new exciting items for our wedding world. Prepare yourself for these beautiful bridesmaid dresses! Joanna works out of her studio and designs and houses spectacular, chic, beautiful, gorgeous saturated colored bridesmaid, rehearsal dinner or cocktail dresses. Loving the mustard yellow gown. I love the short dresses for a change. I couldn’t decide which one I wanted…The hot pink gown can be strapless or it has straps that make it a halter. The grey gown shown can be worn front with a v-neck wrap or the other way with a ruffled. I love when each girl can choose their own style. It makes for very happy bridesmaids. She has also designed a couple of wedding gowns… I love the layered ruffles. www.joannaaugust.com

Hi Friends,
If you know me you know I have a Shoe Obsession!…I was searching the web and the design houses and asking my brides what shoes they are buying for their wedding day. The pictures below are the most talked about ones. Seems like the colored shoe trend is not as popular. I found out the brides are opting for the white or ecru color palette. What shoe did you buy for your wedding day? Love to know Enjoy the pics… Mindy

Hi Friends,
Watching the Golden Globes and loving the colors I saw on the beautiful actresses… This helps make trends for our weddings in fashion and accessories. I loved the color purple on Sandra Bullock! I loved the soft pink of Emily Blunt. Fergie wore a gorgeous lavender chiffon gown beaded at the waist. I saw a theme of colors where most of the woman were in pinks, purples, nudes…I love award season. They really inspire me and my head starts churning out ideas for linens, and color combos and bridesmaid dress accents…Is there anything I can look at and not think of a wedding or party? I don’t think so…enjoy the pics. Mindy

Hi Friends I was having lunch today with a friend who was wearing the new hermes scarf-bracelet…I got to thinking of a cool way to bring that look into the wedding world…I didn’t have my camera with me (so I googled for a picture) but I love the idea of the simplicity of a vintage or beautiful piece of lace from the wedding gown for a wrist tie. Even a piece of fabric that compliments the gown would look so chic as a piece of jewelry. I had a piece of lace in the office to give you a sample not great but you get the idea.  If you feel it is too plain I rummaged through my vintage jewels and found a broach to add to the lace. Just a fun budget conscience idea I borrowed from a chic paris designer xox Mindy

I sometimes get up in the middle of the night and just search the web for inspiration. It could be for fashion to add new pieces of clothing for a season or new paint colors (Farrow and Ball,,,obsessed)
or, new color combos to suggest to my bride and grooms…I came accross this fashion show and the colors made my arms tingled..yes I do get that excited about color…take me to a art supply store and I lose my mind Take a look at these 3 combinations for color inspiration.

 This spring, look at the two toned peach palette. I do have brides who love to add a touch of peach or coral but look how fab to mix differents tones of it…all peach tulips, or dahlias with a touch of coral for depth fab!

ahhhh want to make a peach pie right now!

Most of you know I love blue…but am not a fan of blue florals. I’m loving this blue combo for Spring- Summer. Notice the blue in the sweater, then the touch of peachy pink acccent in the skirt and the blue-grey skirt ahhh devine. White and creme florals mixed with a Massage or Sahara rose would be delicious.

And the last one that caught my eye was also in the blue tones. The cornflower top mixed with the grey skirt would make a beautiful combo…adding in a richer platinum with the blue. Yummy. Think navy cloths, platinum accents and sterling roses…bold yet chic! Enjoy…xox
