Discovering Sareh Nouri

My love affair with weddings grows deeper by the day, and the love happens in the most unlikely ways. Sareh Nouri happened on day last week and I knew I had to feature her gowns on the blog. 














I was immediately taken by the powdery blueish Marie Antoinette Ball Gown. If this gown, reminiscent of a little girl twirling in her tulle could evoke such memories, I knew the rest of the Sareh Nouri collection might also leave me breathless. Let's take a closer look at the Fall 2014 collection...

Celebrity Bridal Looks You'll Love

As many of you know some major celebrities tied the knot this past Labor Day weekend. Angelina Jolie wed Brad Pitt, her long time lover and father of their 6 children in an intimate wedding ceremony in France.

Jenny McCarthy, former co-host on The View married Blue Bloods star Donnie Wahlberg (brother of actor Mark Wahlberg) near Chicago, Il., followed by Ashlee Simpson to Evan Ross (son of iconic diva Diana Ross) in a grand bohemian style event at her home in Connecticut. Bridesmaids were clad in all white while the groomsmen wore classic black and white tuxedos.

Last, but certainly not least, Being Mary Jane star Gabrielle Union made an all-time slam dunk in marrying long time beau and Orlando Magic point guard, Dwayne Wade (oh-la-la). The couple's black and white themed affair took place in a castle located in Miami, and was witnessed by 200+ guests.

Each of these gorgeous women wore wedding dresses specific to their personal styles. If you were partial to one dress over another, we don't mind! We're just happy you don't have to pay the hefty price to get a similar look for your own special day. Thanks to the Vera Wang we've got some fabulous looks below that will help you get the celebrity look without the celebrity price tag via her White Collection.

Sexy snugglewear for new brides and wives

Snuggling is very important for women. In fact, if a woman doesn't have snuggling as part of her everyday activities when she first gets married, boy-o-boy, trouble could ensue! Hugs are good, in fact, hugging is great, but snuggling, it's kinda up there with kissing (if you're the kissing type). A snuggle in the morning, a long snuggle in the evening...yeah baby! That's icing on the cake.

Now, for all you women out there who think snuggling comes natural for men...NOT! Most men just aren't wired that way. Never fear, however. You have the power to up your snuggling sessions. How? Well, being that the entire male species is turned on by sight, you have to give him some visual stimulation to get the ball rolling. We have searched far and wide for items that are sexy and comfortable, a little bit cutesie, a little bit romantic. What ever your mood, we've got something we think you'll love.


1. Paired with your shortest shorts this "Wifey" sweatshirt by ILY is super soft and super sexy. Perfect also for a night stroll or a cappuchino in front of warm fire.




2. For the bride who loves to work out, this tee from Fit Little Bride is perfect for getting in daily exercise. For the flirty side of you, buy an extra tank one size smaller to show off your best assets (wink!)




3. Sirens at the Beach  Silk Rose lounge dress, an effortlessly sensual and sophisticated halter, and the Oriental Birds, a gorgeous navy blue silk adorned with the sweetest of birds. This play-suit is flirty, airy and ethereal, complete with a sweet tie front.  




    

4. YoYoon Cotton cute sexy couple underwear for lover temptation, need we say more?



5. Victoria's Secret Designer Collection Silk Chiffon Ruffle Babydoll - True glamour with luxe silk, cut ultra low in a dramatic v-neckline bordered by ruffles and lace. Finished with a little v-string panty, for one daring baby-doll. 



Vera Wang & FTD Flowers Galore!

Flowers play a very important role in the overall theme and feel of your wedding. Its no secret that flowers can cost you thousands of dollars, eating up at least 35% or more of your budget. Personally, I think flowers are worth the cost. Not only do they add striking beauty, they also add richness, connection to nature, and a hint of sweet sophistication to the atmosphere. Flowers can be used to add drama, color, passion and your own unique personality. Whatever emotional response you are trying to achieve, flowers have you covered!

When deciding on which flowers you want for your wedding day it's important to get what you want. Don't settle! I am happy to report that Vera Wang and FTD have partnered together to bring you a gorgeous line of flower arrangements - centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnières - designed with you in mind.
