Sarah Houston Spring 2013: Bridal Gown Monday

Image
Happy Monday… Hope your week is starting off refreshing and productive despite the cold (in Toronto anyway ;))!!! Today we are looking at Sarah Houston Bridal’s 2013 Spring collection. The words that I instantly thought of while browsing the collection were sweet, soft, pretty, and even seductive. For example our two favourites this week (the Pastelle and Rain gowns below) have both a feminine softness and seductive sexiness. Both strapless but just with different fabrics and a different shape you get two completely different feels to these gowns.. both being quite gorgeous! Which is why when trying on gowns aside from thinking of type and fabric be sure to consider how you want to feel in the gown. OUR FAVOURITES THIS WEEK!!

Emerald to Blue – Friday: A Day of Wedding Inspiration

Happy Friday! TGIF! Hope you all had a fabulous week! Here in Toronto it has been really cold.. cold isn’t always bad. Especially for weddings for example, cold colours! Which of course what we are talking about today on our Inspiration Friday. More specifically the colour of the year Emerald. Such a rich colour perfect for all seasons, because it’s shade is deeper on the green spectrum it can blend with many colours. But being the colour of the year we didn’t want to distract to much from the colour.. and we love monochromatic schemes… just not as much as blended colour schemes so were adding some blue! Very peacock esc without the peacock, much more subtle with hints of aqua and turquoise. A great inspiration for a winter wedding because it works so well against a white backdrop. We hope you enjoy. Our Bridal Gown Monday blog will be showcasing Sarah Houston’s 2013 collection so stay tuned, plus we’ve updated our services page with a newly made paper centrepiece be sure to ch
