The Beginning of Forever

Happy Bridal Gown Monday! Today is the last day in our 5 week Touch of Colour Series . Next week we begin a new Bridal Gown Monday series and we would like to hear from you... so please learn more details HERE ! Today is brought to you by Fiona Todhunter Bridal . Red is a colour associated with spicy and sexy attitude. Adding it to your bridal gown or wearing all red for your wedding day would definitely draw a lot of attention, but of course only in a good way. When considering red as your colour think of your skin tone, if you have a red undertone a red dress will emphasise the red in your skin tone. So be mindful of that fact. Here are some great bridal gowns with a touch of red. For more information on each gown visit FionaTodhunter.com :

Happy Inspiration Friday. This week inspiration coming from lace. Lace can be subtle, soft, and vintage but can also be sexy, edgy, and bold! We’re exploring both aspects this week. Continuing with my Monday blog post ( Bridal Gown Monday - Touch of Colour: Black ) here is an edgy and bold Lace Inspiration Board: Lace Me Up!

I can imagine the scepticism of wearing black on ones wedding day. However, black shouldn’t be avoided because of the stigma one associates with the colour. Bridal Gown Designer Hillary Morgan definitely shows us how to wear black on our wedding day and I think if it’s a brides favourite colour she shouldn’t be afraid to showcase it. My view on a black bridal gown would be a black tie affair theme. It would be interesting and quite unique to see a bride in black her groom in white. Below you will see gowns from Hillary Morgan showing white gowns with back patterns and also included an all black wedding gown. Lets see the gowns! Hillary Morgan Bridal :

Happy Inspiration Friday!!!! What’s inspiring you today??? Today I am inspired by the beautiful spring weather… and spring reminds me of blossoms and blooming flowers.

Make sure you also see my blog post about flowers and their meanings : January Birth Flower - the Carnation or Snowdrop February Birth Flower - the Violet or Primrose March Birth Flower - the Jonquil (aka Daffodil or Narcissus) April Birth Flower - the Sweet pea or Daisy May Birth Flower - the Lily of the Valley June Birth Flower - the Rose July Birth Flower - the Larkspur or Water Lily August Birth Flower - the Gladiolus or Poppy September Birth Flower - the Aster or Morning Glory October Birth Flower - the Calendula (Marigold) November Birth Flower - the Chrysanthemum December Birth Flower -

Happy Bridal Gown Monday. Today we reach week 3 of our 5 part mini-series on colourful bridal gowns. This week we are looking at the colour silver. Silver is a great wedding gown colour… it’s fairly light goes with several colours and shimmers in the light. Silver is also great alternative to stark white because its has a cool undertone. Because silver is a cool colour remember it will make your skin tone look lighter and could essentially make you look pale… if so contrast with a rosy or bronze make up. Here is a beautiful and unique couture wedding gown by Edgardo Bonilla : Veruschka Style#9059

Happy Bridal Gown Monday!!! Today we are continuing with our Touch of Colour 5 week series. This week it's all about Gold and Douglas Hannant shows us how to wear it in his Fall 2010 bridal collection. Gold is a great alternative to white as it is still a light colour and it is great for bringing out that natural glow. So if you are looking for a different colour bridal gown but don't want to stray to far take a look at a few shades/tints of gold. Douglas Hannant - Fall 2010
