Oscars Bridal Fashion
It’s Hollywood’s biggest night, and most definitely one of fashion’s biggest nights.
This past Sunday at the 82nd Academy Awards viewers saw an array of gorgeous dresses on the red carpet. We saw red carpet mainstays like Marchesa, Oscar de la Renta, Versace, Dior and Chanel, and we saw some perhaps unexpected designers represented, like Dries Van Noten and former Project Runway contestant Chris March.
The accessories were fabulous, too. Bracelets were especially popular, with Julianne Moore sparkling in a luscious emerald ring and diamond bracelets by Bulgari. Sarah Jessica Parker got in on the bracelet action with stacks of diamond bracelets by Fred Leighton, and Demi Moore wore Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry. We saw Chopard diamonds, Salvatore Ferragamo clutches, and Sergio Rossi and Jimmy Choo heels.
And there was some color! Maggie Gyllenhaal wore a floral satin column gown by Dries Von Noten, a last-minute, custom-made choice. Zoe Saldana modeled a bold, either you love-it-or-hate-it Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci ombre couture gown. And Rachel McAdams sported a pastel-print couture gown by Elie Saab Couture.

But colorful gowns aside, there was a surprising array of wedding-worthy dresses. We saw pink, white, gray and gold in the form of iridescent organza, silk draping, tulle and beading. We saw a lot of romance, a dose of sexiness, and plenty of elegance. Who knew that practical inspiration could be drawn from the red carpet, too? Here were some of our favorites:

And if you’re looking to buck the traditional bridal gown trend, there were some non-traditional wedding dresses seen as well – and they were lovely.

“Everything Wedding” Bridal Show
It was a success!
Two weeks ago this Sunday, brides and company made their way through the rain to Calabasas Creek Park to partake in the fabulous “Everything Wedding” Bridal Show.
The Leonis Adobe Museum/Calabasas Creek Park and Sarah Z Events organized a fabulous first show, complete with 25 exhibitors. Also, R-Mine Bridal put on a dazzling couture show, with the models braving the cool air in their exquisite wedding gowns.
The park made for the perfect backdrop, with its charming feel and abundance of trees and creeks. The beauty of the park made us forget the cool and rainy weather!
We were delighted with the amazing turnout, and everybody appeared to be in happy spirits. We sold most our samples, and took order upon order of our custom “Soon to be Mrs…” shirt.

Blossoming Brides
Flowers of all species are the latest in bridal fashion. Designers have taken a cue from mother nature and so we’re seeing blooms of all different sizes and shapes from small and simple rosettes to large and oversized blossoms. Both bridal and bridesmaids gowns include applications such as as floral embroidery, appliques, and even floaral prints. The nature-inspred dresses are great for a Spring or Summer wedding, so consider implementing one of these details to your 2010 wedding dress.
