Get Inspired By Chelsea Clinton

Inspiration comes from everywhere. And why not get inspired for your wedding look from someone who has thousands of wedding dress choices at her fingertips? Of course I'm talking about Chelsea Clinton who recently got married in a beautiful Vera Wang gown. This dress embodied the newest trend of texture with an amazing beaded waist band and a voluminous laser cut organza skirt. Of course what makes any Bride beautiful no matter what gown she is wearing is their glow and smile and she did not stop beaming all day.

Has she inspired you yet? If she has we all know that Vera Wang's amazingly gorgeous bridal gowns are a bit out of the normal bridal gown budget. But that doesn't mean you can't find something in your price range that is similar to her look.

Start by looking for dresses that are draped with different textures. Then look for a waist that is cut above your belly button, think 40's housewife's party dress.Then top off the look with an intricately beaded sash or belt. Be open minded about this part, because you can always add a belt if your dream dress doesn't come with one. Alfred Angelo, Mori Lee, and Pronovias make beautiful belts that you can buy separately and add to your dress to finish your ideal look.

Love her look and you have to have it for your wedding day? Get inspired and come in to shop for similar looks like those below. We love when Brides come in with a vision!

Why We're Crazy About Cake Cutter Dresses

Celebrities brought us the trend of the cake cutter dress years ago and it has just started to go main stream. All of us that have already gotten married know how tiring it can be to wear a full bridal gown all night, especially to dance like crazy on the dance floor! It's also so much fun to surprise your guests when you come out wearing a completely different dress after the dinner.

They call them a cake cutter dress because Brides will change into their short "bridal gown" just after dinner and before the cake cutting. Think of Christina Aguilera for her wedding and get inspired for your own look. You can go funky with your style or simple and elegant. But make sure to let your personality shine through!

New York- New York

Here we are posing with Arthur the Owner of Mori Lee

We were just graciously invited to the Mori Lee Bridal New York design room to view the bridal gowns that are in the running for the Spring 2011 Bridal Collection. We were asked to mark the dresses as they came down the runway as our favorites or not and weather we thought any changes should be made as to be more sale able to our customer.

The dresses were beautiful and the designer Madeline Gardner described the look she was going for as Romantic. We saw many flower accents as well as soft beautiful fabrics that draped the body. We are definitely going to be looking at a more delicate and feminine Bride in 2011 who is going to want an easy,comfortable, yet unbelievably gorgeous gown! Madeline knows how to dress a woman in any size or shape and you are never going to make a mistake by purchasing a Mori Lee Bridal Gown!

The over all trip was amazing, New York has wonderful restaurants and great stores (Bloomingdales)! We ended the trip at Arthur's summer home where we dipped our feet in the ocean, had amazing food, and watched the sun set to a live singer. What a blast!

Here we are with Madeline (the designer) and Martin who also owns Mori Lee
