KITTYCHEN Couture Trunk Show This Weekend

Our KITTYCHEN Couture Trunk Show arrives in just a couple of days and we're SO excited! The KITTYCHEN collection has become one of the most anticipated each season by both our consultants and our brides! Each season we wait to see what new trends designer, Kitty Chen, will introduce. Last year it was sexy, jeweled backs. She's continued that trend this year, but we're also looking forward to some subtly sexy cutouts and loads of bling!

As an added bonus to this show, the designer herself will be in store all day, Saturday, August 15th. Kitty will be on hand to discuss gown detail, fit, and style. She'll also sign autographs and take photos (that's gonna look good on your Instagram feed!). If you want to join in the fun, set up your appointment online now - this show is filling fast, fast, fast!!

Your wedding shoes do not have to cost a fortune! Here are some fabulous budget-friendly ideas to inspire you:

Your wedding dress is obviously important to you as a bride-to-be. However, the truth is that sometimes, accessories can matter almost just as much as the dress itself. For instance, a well-chosen pair of shoes can add a lot to a bride’s look. That doesn’t mean that your wedding shoes have to cost a fortune, though. In fact, you can find a lot of shoes that are more than affordable and stylish too. Here are some ideas to inspire you:

· Sparkly nudes. If you don’t want to go too wild with your wedding shoes, but if you still want to add a bit of style to your look, sparkly shoes will do the job very well. Go for cream-colored shoes if you want a classic look and for silver shoes if you want to look timelessly elegant.

· Sandals. Who said you are not allowed to wear sandals on your wedding day? If you plan on having a beach wedding, sandals will be more than appropriate. For a touch of elegance and style, choose a pair that’s embellished with gems in your color of choice and you will look absolutely gorgeous wearing it.

· Flats. If you want to be very comfortable at your wedding (or if you want a comfier pair of shoes for the reception only), flats are the perfect option. Given the fact that there are a lot of flats in wonderful designs (such as shoes covered in a gold tint to add a dash of luxuriousness to your feet), you’ll have no problem finding something that really suits your style.

3 Bridal Party Etiquette Rules You Should Definitely Keep in Mind

Your bridal party is very important to you – but do you know how to react in those situations that are less commonly encountered? Do you know what etiquette rules say about these kinds of situations? Following we have gathered some of the most useful tips when it comes to this – so read on if you want to find out more:

· If you are having a male “Maid” of Honor (which, yes, is more than allowed if you feel that this is the right choice), he will not have to plan the bridal shower all on his own (especially if he is not familiar with what this involves). Since your bridesmaids would have helped the Maid of Honor anyway, they will be able to help your “Man” of Honor too.

· You should pay for their hair and makeup if you want them to be done professionally. If you feel that this is really important to you, you should definitely make sure you are able to foot the bill as well. Keep in mind: your bridesmaids’ budgets may be tighter than yours and thus, they might find it difficult to keep up with all the expenses of their roles.

· If you want your bridal party to wear multi-colored dresses, remember to find something that brings them all together (one main color to inspire them, a certain type of fabric, a particular tone and so on). This will make all of them look really beautiful in the pictures and it will complement your wedding theme too.
