I always say that I have the best readers in the world! I met Gilkana, who lives in Bolivia, through Wedding Obsession when it first started and she’s kept in touch with me ever since she’s been planning her wedding. She surprised me again with some scans from the newest Vanidades issue, a wedding magazine [...]
This one is for you Mel! Here are some updo images for inspiration. In my opinion, it’s always nice to have the bride’s hair distinctly different than the bridesmaids. This can either be done by adding a single flower, hairpiece or taking on a completely different hairstyle.
I think the hairstyles below of Kate Beckinsale [...]

I had a look at the recent hairstyles on the runway for 2009 ready-to-wear and found one resonating trend: chignons.

I’ve got to say that I wasn’t blown away by the gowns displayed on the red carpet at this year’s Cannes Festival! However, if I had to choose one gown and one look that I found stood out, it would be the always beautiful Penelope Cruz. She wore a violet grecian inspired gown to the [...]
With all the buzz of birdcage veils among brides today, it seems as though the look has now transcended to the red carpet. At the premier of the movie Grey Gardens, actress Drew Barrymore was head to toe old Hollywood glamour, wearing a vintage nude-colored Alberta Ferretti gown, birdcage veil with jewelled hair pieces, and [...]
I subscribe to the ‘craft of the day’ section of martha stewart and though I’d share the do-it-yourself crepe-paper flower barrettes with you. I think they would be cute accessories for your bridesmaids or flower girls.

The iconic hairstyle worn by Audrey Hepburn in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s is a classic. I have yet to see the movie (horrible, I know…) but regardless, I love her style. Brides who are looking to channel Hollywood’s Golden era can opt for the volumized french twist shown below. [...]
