Fashion Friday: Pronovias 2012

I love Friday's for many reasons, but I think the biggest reason is this ~ Fashion Friday!!

Fashion Week in New York is done so it is time for me to do one of the many things I love most with my job ~ watch the many wonderful fashion shows.  As some of you know, I'm pretty sure I was a bridal gown fashion designer in a past life.  I could watch and draw bridal gowns all day, so to have a legitimate reason to sit back and watch these fashion show {and bring you the best of the best} is like a dream for me.

This week I am starting out with one of my favorite designers ~ Pronovias.  The gowns this year are unbelievable! 

So, without further adieu, grab your notebook and pencil, champagne and a comfy chair...Enjoy!

Real Weddings: Italian Style

Marzia and Maurizio: romance and fun in Venice

Marzia and Maurizio got married last summer in a small village not far from Venice.  This was a typical Italian wedding that Stefania would like to share with us. 

If you are interested in having a destination wedding in Italy you can contact Wedding Planner Venice.

Everything started on the hottest Saturday afternoon of the year in the tiny medieval San Gregorio church, hidden in the Venice countryside.

Marzia had a traditional white dress and a gorgeous one rose bouquet.

The path to San Gregorio church is sooo nice and romantic, Marzia's brother walked her to the church along a medieval alley surrounded by the castle ancient walls!

After the wedding ceremony, their friends wanted to play some jokes on the couple, which is something typical in the Italian tradition.

The funniest one was seeing Maurizio taking Marzia to the reception venue using a little chariot! OMG!  Thank God friends were there to help them!

Marzia's visions for her day were simple: roses and lights!  Roses and lights were everywhere with candles in the church, candles in white glasses at teh restaurant, and flying lanterns in the night!

Red rose petals were spread on the restaurant tables as well among the candles.  And for a little lighting emphasis, the rose petals were lying on mirrors along with the candles.
