On Our Radar: Piperlime Pairs Up With Celebrity Wedding Planner Mindy Weiss

FabSugar — Thu, 01 May 2008 02:00:22 -0700

If you've ever planned a wedding, are currently planning a wedding, or have watched any shows about celebrity weddings, then you probably recognize the name of celebrity wedding planner Mindy Weiss. The petite brunette, who has worked with Gwen Stefani and Eva Longoria Parker, has paired up with Piperlime to offer genius shoe advice to bride-to-bes. She suggests buying two types of footwear for your big day: a fantasy shoe and a reality shoe. I know what you're thinking: "As if one shoe isn't costly enough, now I have to buy two?"

The fantasy shoe is the dramatic one you'll walk down the aisle in. It can be as tall as you wish because you won't be dancing in it. The reality shoe is the one you'll wear at the reception, so make sure it's comfy. It can be flat or have a kitten heel. Does this sound good to you? Then get more tips from Mindy!

Vera Wang Spring 2009 Bridal Collection

FabSugar — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Vera Wang's 2009 Spring bridal collection called for an avant-garde approach to wedding gowns. Vera Wang stated, "We want to modernize the wedding vocabulary. It's something we struggle with every season."

Her experimentation of different silhouettes and textures rendered a fresh take on wedding dresses showcasing strategically placed bows, floral trains, and asymmetrical necklines - I think it's safe to say that no one missed the baubles and beads.

Fab Finding Follow Up: Glitzy Black Tie Wedding

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 16:00:22 -0700

Black tie weddings are so much fun. It's a Fab chance to get fancied up and walk arm in arm with a man in a tux. Sexy! Date or not, it's imperative that you dress the part. Black tie weddings call for long gowns or dressy separates. Think of it as getting dolled up for the Oscars . . . minus the red carpet and the mini gold man. And the celebs!
I started you off with this Prada Gathered Satin Clutch ($695) because the satin rosettes are sure to make you an instant hit. Let's see what you all came up with!

Look # 1, created by Ashley2007, is beyond black tie appropriate. The Azzaro gown is a surefire way to turn heads.

Wedding Trend Alert: Adorn Me

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 08:00:22 -0700

If you're still debating between choosing a simple or glamorous dress for your special day, I say adorn me - it's a happy medium between the two.

Embellishments have been updated this wedding season with bold focal points and romantic detailing. The old school, glitzy jewel-encrusted bodice has been replaced with a gamut of fresh options ranging from Monique Lhuillier's eye-catching centerpiece (shown left) to delicate pearls. What's your adornment of choice?

Holy Hysteria Brides!

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 03:00:22 -0700

I've never been a bride, so I don't know how I'll be on my wedding day. You hear all this talk about bridezillas, but I have yet to meet one in person. There are plenty on TV to keep us entertained though. In this fab-u-lous editorial from the April 2006 issue of Paris Vogue, Sasha Pivarova and Natasha Vojovic are the epitome of hysteria bride. They appear to be brides in their avant-garde white gowns, but they sure don't act like it; at least not in the traditional sense of the term!

Not Your Average Bridal Accessories

FabSugar — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 15:00:22 -0700

I know it's supposed to be all about the blushing bride's fabulous gown on her wedding day. But we're experiencing a resurgence in the power of accessories, so why not add a little flair to the matrimony mix? It can be as simple as white opera gloves or as dramatic as a Carrie Bradshaw-inspired bright yellow flowered pin. The rules are waiting to be broken, and you're the bride - it's your prerogative. Feathers, crystals, and flowers are all fun additions that will only add to the jollifications that lay ahead.

Freaky or Fabulous? Alana Savoir Feather-Infested Bride

FabSugar — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 10:00:22 -0700

When I think of feathers on a wedding dress, the last image that comes to mind is that of Alana Savoir's creation at Mexico Fashion Week. Feathers are supposed to lend delicateness but in this case, they have provided extreme harshness. The dress is a bit too busy in my opinion, but what really drowns the look is the feather headpiece; it reminds me of George Washington's colonial hairstyle. And as if there weren't enough feathers on the look, the model is carrying a peacock feather. Unnecessary, right? This is 100 percent freaky. Tell me you agree!

Wedding Trend Alert: Short Stuff

FabSugar — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 04:00:22 -0700

I've said it once and I'll say it again: I would consider a short wedding dress. I'm an unconventional gal and a more cocktail-inspired wedding dress is an idea I've been flirting with since, well, I started bringing you wedding eye candy. Not many women seem to take the plunge and go for the short stuff, however, some of you would consider it. Maybe this adorable retro beauty by Oscar de la Renta can help sway you. Any takers? I do!
