Red’s a bold color, but some brides are willing to be bold. Even brides unwilling to take the red dress plunge and deviate from the traditional white or ivory gown are incorporating red sashes, shoes, shawls and more into their bridal look.

And we can’t mention red without injecting some fashion fantasy into the post, too…

Each week we fall in love with one particular color. Last week it was mint green, and this week it’s classic gold: not too light, not too dark.

We see gold as an acquired taste. When you first see it you may be unsure, but if you keep looking you’ll begin loving. Glittery gold polish on nails is oh-so glamorous, a gold cake is just fabulous, and a gold clutch, well… now that’s beyond words!

Kisses, Raya
