The Bountiful Best from Fall '10 Bridal Fashion Week

FabSugar — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 12:00:22 -0700

I don't foresee myself walking down the aisle anytime soon, but that won't stop me from peeping at the latest bridal fashions from Jenny Packham, Vera Wang, Reem Acra, Monique Lhuillier, and Temperley London. For Fall '10, the designers supplied us with an abundance of fabulous, frothy layers of tulles, taffeta, lace, and ruffles. However, what really caught my eye were a surprising selection of fancy short frocks and even black dresses – who dares? Check out the bountiful best from Fall '10 Bridal Fashion Week!

FabSugar — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 04:00:22 -0700

Finding the perfect wedding dress is one of the highlights for a bride, but let's not forget about what's underneath. Lingerie, of course! That's why La Perla is taking its intimate knowledge to the next level come November with a new bridal collection. The '20s-inspired line, ranging from $74 to $649, will include a bevy of bridal essentials composed of garters, robes, nighties, bras, undies, and bustiers made out of soft silk, Chantilly lace, and satin. Everything a bride needs for her special wedding day - and night.

Anzevino and Florence Creates Walking on Air Wedding Dress

FabSugar — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 07:50:22 -0700

Wedding season on the Sugar network has wrapped, but that doesn't mean we can't still drool over a devastatingly beautiful wedding dress. Said gown is Anzevino and Florence's Walking on Air Wedding Dress ($1,000). It's (not surprisingly) sold out at Revolve, but brides-to-be, I would contact the designers to inquire directly. It has all the components of a traditional wedding frock - poufy, tiered, strapless, tulle - but comes together in an amazingly non-traditional and avant-garde way. If Carrie Bradshaw had a backup dress for her wedding to Big, this. Would. Be. It.

Where Should Marc and Lorenzo Honeymoon?

FabSugar — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 13:00:22 -0700

The fashion industry is aflutter about the future nuptials of its sweetheart designer Marc Jacobs. The latest is that the wedding will take place in Provincetown, MA, where Robert Duffy - Jacobs's business partner - has a vacation home. But we have to wait until August for wedding photos because of Marc's demanding work schedule. While we await the excitement, and no doubt dashing grooms, I was wondering: where would you like to see the newlyweds honeymoon? Somewhere fabulous and sunny, no doubt. So just for fun, let's fantasize: where should Marc and Lorenzo bask in their wedded bliss?

Sneak Peek! Jennifer Behr's Elegant Punk Fall '09

FabSugar — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 14:00:22 -0700

Jennifer Behr, best known for girlie confections on the head of Blair Waldorf, has turned to the dark side. Her next immense collection of headgear is inspired by Victorian jet jewelry. While you will find nil color, you will find texture and sparkle; duchess satin turbans, nickel hardware, grey pearls, patent leather, flat chains, and romantic belts meld together to create an elegant punk mood. Also notice the models' hair styling for tips on how to wear. I can certainly see this deadly studded headband on new queen bee Jenny Humphrey . . .

Fab Finding Follow-Up: Croatian Honeymoon

FabSugar — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 02:50:22 -0700

A friend's recent trip to Croatia inspired daydreams of my future honeymoon. From what she described and the pics I saw, it has picturesque coastlines and untouched natural beauty - sounds amazing. This Très-approved country has certainly piqued my interest, so I asked you to play pretend and picture Fab newly married and off to a Croatian honeymoon. What did you pack for me?

I started you off with this Juicy Couture Straw Floppy Hat ($95); nothing says vacay like a big, floppy hat. Let's see your Croatian creations!

Look #1, created by bvfashion, is cunningly casual. I like how the laid-back pieces balance out the fancy, floppy hat.

Glitterati: Tejani

FabSugar — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 13:00:08 -0700

Once a jewelry fanatic, always a jewelry fanatic. This rings so true for Tejani creator Urvi Prunier. The seasoned fashionphile held stints in sales and merchandising at fashion houses like Chanel, YSL, and Nicole Miller, but eventually returned to her true love. The name Tejani, derived from the designer’s family name, means “brightness” and “sparkle.” And that her pieces, made from semi-precious stones, do.

See an Indian flavor? All pieces are handcrafted by artisans in Mumbai, India. Stunning earrings, stacked bangles, and bib necklaces are all part of four Spring collections. Prices are reasonable: earrings begin at $95, bangles hover in the $200 range, necklaces are most expensive - I see nothing over $400. As well, Urvi has tapped into the bridal costume jewelry niche. If you're looking to be an exotic bride, or bridesmaid, look to Tejani.
