Could Beige be the New Ivory?

In the Spring 2012 bridal collections we once again see color, beige in particular.

Last weekend we saw a slew of beige-based gowns float down the runway at Romona Keveza, Monique Lhuillier and Watters and Watters, among others.

Could beige become the new ivory? Beige offers brides the choice of an intriguingly soft, romantic and atypical hue while not being too bold. Trends come and go, but for a certain set of brides the movement from traditional colors continues.

Scent and Wedding Memories

April 2, 2011 By Weddingish Leave a Comment

Do you remember the perfume you wore as a bride?

Scent is the sense that is best associated with triggering memories. “When you first smell a new scent, you link it to an event, a person, a thing or even a moment” a recent Discovery Health article explained.

More and more, brides are selecting their wedding day fragrances with care. A recent bride, who was gifted a new bottle of perfume for Christmas, saved the first spritz for her wedding day. “I wanted to remember my wedding day each time I sprayed that perfume thereafter,” she said.

Brides, perfume may be another thing to add to your long to-do list; we promise the memories will be worth it. Bonus: a gorgeous bottle will look great in photographs.

What perfume, if any, did you wear on your wedding day?

Will Wedding Fruit & Veggie Bars Trend?

March 24, 2011 By Weddingish 4 Comments

We’re as crazy about dessert bars, stacked with cupcakes, pastries and candy, as the next person. But where’s the nutrition? We know a thing or two about diet-friendly celebrations; after all, we’re based out of Los Angeles, a city notorious for its dieters.

The vegetable and fruit bar pictured was featured on My Bride Story. We love this idea not only for the health aspect, but for of the presentation possibilities. For example, serve up melon and berries in gorgeous glassware and display lengthy veggies like celery and carrots in tall jars. Fruit and veggies create a decidedly clean and chic, not to mention colorful, look.

We wonder: Will the fruit and veggie bar trend in the wedding world?
