I attended a Bridal Shower of a dear friend last weekend and she did the cutest thing with her cake!  They had a photo-shoot done for their engagement at Venice Beach since that is where they made things between them official and so she took the theme from her photos and had her cake designed with exact colors and themes that was done in her photo-shoot.   They had taken photos in the water while holding each other and kissing and both wearing blue jeans with white button down tops and guess what…that is exactly what was on the cake….Next to the cake table she had those images blown on canvas and she had it displayed on a very nice easel…..Beautiful idea!

I came across an interesting website Never www.LikedItAnyway.com and wanted to pass it on to our soon-to-be-brides!  But wait, not for the potential intension of the site, but rather for the great inventory that they have on hand.  If you’re looking for a designer gown, jewelry and other wedding items and don’t want to pay the full retail price, see if you can find it for much less.  But one thing that really caught my eye, were the decoration items used at wedding and bigger events.  Browse through the web site for bargains!

Very interesting site…here is a summary ‘about them’:

‘Falling in love is great.
Falling out of love? Well, it’s not so fun.
In fact it doesn’t get much worse.
And the stereotypes are just as bad; tissues piles, ice-cream binges, drastic haircuts, group-hugs and useless metaphors.
Well, we’re not a fan of them either.
That’s why we came up with this hare-brained idea*.
A place to tell it like it is.
A place to shed the stories and the stuff.
A place to read other dilemmas so shocking that you forget about your own.
So you can bounce back quicker that you thought.
You may have broken-up, but there’s no need to break-down.

With Love,

Never Liked It Anyway.’

To get a bride to share a wedding planning secret takes a lot of work, but we got it out of her!  This ‘step’ in the gown searching process should literally be added to the ‘Bible’ of wedding planning!

Anna Bandaryan from Pasadena, told us about the details of her wedding planning and one thing kept popping up every single time she mentioned about how she wanted to look on her Big Day.

Yes, she is a trendy diva who does not miss a tend look that hits the runaways and the fashion world!  She noticed that whenever she wore dresses with the sweetheart cut, she not only loved the look and felt sexy, but she also got lots and lots of compliments on how the cut goes so well with her physique.  Every occasion, celebration gatherings she attended, she wore corset sweetheart tops with pants and skirts to give it a change from time to time.  So 7 years later when her and her high school prom date decided to tie the knot, she started sketching for her dream gown.

She mentioned how she would stay up all night searching the web, looking into the most trendy styles, and still could not point the finger on a single cut, style, or shade that would make her go to sleep that night.

So over breakfast one morning she tells her mom how she is stressing over the gown-search and her mom gave the most brilliant idea…..to basically project how she would like to look on her wedding day based on what how she likes to dress herself up…..to sketch down the ultimate look for herself and then convert or sort of transform that look to the bridal gown look!

What an IDEA!  Thank you Anna’s mom!
