No longer limited to the traditional options of white or cream, brides are freer to vibrant colors. Although, it not yet widely accepted, wearing colored wedding dresses is the latest trend that is dramatically growing in popularity these days. The following are my favorite gowns, do you love?

Different Accessories for Different Weddings

Let your venue set the tone for your big-day look.

Chapel Wedding

A magestic ballgown will look apropos amidst the grandeur of a formal wedding. Diamonds, pearls and a veil are ideal for the classic bride.

Garden Fête

For a dress befitting your lush outdoor setting, look for gowns with floral laces and chic rosettes. Play up a blooming local with nature-inspired accents.

Beach Wedding

A lightweight silk georgette Grecian-style gown will move gracefully on a breezy beach. And goddess-inspired accessories will look divine on the sun-drenched sand

Country Club

For a look of modern refinement, opt for a sleek gown with a crisp, narrow silhouette. Dainty, classic accessories will look chic in semi-formal indoor/outdoor settings.

City Hall

A shorter dress paired with dramatic heels is perfect for an intimate, informal setting. For a chic downtown look, opt for easy, modern shapes.

Deco Hotel

Up the glamour quotient at an evening affair with a sparkly, form-fitting gown. Channel Hollywood charm with vintage-inspired jewels.

Crown Instead of Veil

Is the bridal veil a necessary? The answer is no. What if your wedding style is more in line with rustic, whimsical, or a woodland-inspired look? Consider a bridal hair crown as a bridal veil alternative. A crown is similar to a tiara and is worn across one’s forehead. A hair crown is made of natural vine with floral embellishments incorporated into its design. In lieu of flowers, you can also find one made with berries or leaves. Today we’re showcasing our favorite unforgettable hair crowns we hope you’ll love as much as we do.

Sliced strawberries sprinkled with a bit of Splenda. A small delightful dose of dessert reminiscent of strawberry shortcake.

Apple slices drizzled with one tablespoon of caramel…need we say more?

With all these great ideas, you can indulge a little without spoiling your diet.

New Favorite-Ranunculus

I thought today would be a good day to spotlight another of my favorite flowers--ranunculus! I love these pretty blooms so much, I love them in wedding decorations. They have layers of tightly packed ruffly petals, spindly stems that twist and bend, and some of them have really interesting green centers. I love that they come in so many colors: yellows, whites, reds, purples, corals, and every shade of pink!
