Lanvin for H&M

Photo courtesy Lanvin.

The fashion world is buzzing with the news that H&M’s next designer collaboration is Lanvin’s Alber Elbaz, and we can’t help wondering if he’ll include a wedding dress in his cheap chic collection. Former H&M collaborators Victor & Rolf designed a special bridal gown for their fast-fashion line, and it was sold out in mere minutes. Plus, Elbaz already has some bridal experience under his belt—Lanvin has featured wedding dresses for several seasons now. In fact, they’re available for purchase from Net-a-Porter

Mark your calendars now for November 20th when the collection hits stores.

A Blogger Bride

Several years ago a friend recommended I check out a blog called The Cherry Blossom Girl. Since then I’ve been religiously following the adventures of author Alix (a fabulous French girl!), and coveting her enviable collection of handbags and shoes I might add! Needless to say when Alix recently tied the knot, her bridal ensemble was absolutely lovely. Read the rest of this entry »

Wedding Belle: A Fresh-Faced Bride

Bride: Nicki Apostle
Wedding Date:
July 11, 2010
Wedding Location:
Whistler, British Columbia
Wedding Style:
Nicki was a natural stunner in her ivory, sweetheart gown that featured a pretty Swarovski belt to emphasize her waist. An a-line style skirt revealed a pair of sparkling and glamorous peep-toe Jimmy Choos—Nicki calls them “a hint of glamour in an otherwise classic and elegant theme.” Her brown hair was loosely pulled back into a tousled updo, revealing a gorgeous pair of Swarovski chandelier earrings. Instead of wearing a veil in her hair, Nicki pinned a dazzling large hairpin on the side of her updo. She carried a classic bouquet made up of white roses held together by a silk, white ribbon. As for her makeup, Nicki says her makeup artist “created a romantic, timeless look in shades of brown and gold.” This gold and elegant theme continued to carry throughout Nicki’s bridal party as her bridesmaids donned strapless, silk dresses in shimmering gold, while groomsmen had a hint of gold in their tie patterns.

Monique Lhuillier Bridesmaids and the less expensive ML Monique Lhuillier Bridesmaids will reportedly be for sale on nordstrom.com (yes, they do ship to Canada! And incidentally, they have quite a fabulous wedding collection) by next month and in bridal salons by January.

Wedding Belle: Sparkling Cinderella

Bride: Caryn Suderman
Wedding Date:
June 26, 2010
Wedding Location:
Steinbach, Manitoba
Wedding Style:
Caryn dazzled in a princess gown with a bustier style top and a full ball gown skirt. Beautiful beading and lace covered the gown and a sweetheart neckline played up her femininity. Caryn’s blond locks were pulled into what she calls a “loosey goosey updo” and a silver and pearl headpiece adorned her head. Matching with this headpiece, Caryn wore simple pearl earrings that were her something borrowed from a friend and a delicate silver necklace that kept the focus on her Cinderella gown. Caryn’s pretty look continued as she was dolled up in light pink eyeshadow and lip gloss. She wore glittery purple heels with a silver sparkle that had a flirty bow on the side, which also matched her deep purple bouquet. Her bridesmaids wore the same shoes in black and had a similar updo, but chose their own bridesmaid styles.
The Look:
Gown, Stella’s Bridal Galleria (stellasbridal.com). Hair accessory, Boutique Unique (boutiqueunique.ca). Makeup, Provici (provici.com). Shoes, Roberto Vianni at Sterling Shoes (sterlingshoes.com). Reception, Steinbach Mennonite Heritage Village (mennoniteheritagevillage.com).
