Vera Wang 2012 Fall Bridal Collection

Wedding dress designer extraordinaire, Vera Wang, has shocked the wedding world with her 2012 Fall Bridal Collection. Actually maybe we should just call it 'collection' because there was not a white dress insight, rather all non-traditional tones like nude and jet black. Vera described the collection as "both mysterious and sexy, frivolous and fun." In the past Vera's collections have always included a sprits of colour here and there, like soft grays, lavender and green, but this weeks show turned its back on the white dress completely. The sixteen piece collection did not show one single white or ivory gown, however, in true Vera Wang style, the design, fabric and styling of the collection was dreamy. But still, more of an evening wear collection than bridal wear to me. What are your thoughts?

Beyonce's Video Wedding Dress

If, like me, you are old enough to remember the hit song November Rain by Guns and Roses, you will also remember ogling over Stephanie Seymour in 'that' wedding dress!! I sat and watched the video over and over again, hoping that one day i too would walk down the aisle in an amazing dress like that (oh how my tastes have changed). Fast forward two decades and the latest music video wedding dress sensation is by Beyonce. In her latest song "Best Thing I Never Had", Beyonce plays a sexy bride dancing around firstly in sexy Agent Provocateur lingerie before changing into an opulent embellished wedding dress by Baracci Beverly Hills. I'm sure many young girls will be watching this video dreaming of being a beautiful bride just like Beyonce.

to dance the night away.


Looking the picture of bridal beauty, Beyonce's hair and make-up is impeccable. In the video her hair is styled in two cute bunches. A few times i think it looks a little Princess Leia -esque but once the veil is on, the style frames her face perfectly. Very sweet!

Kim Kardashian Wedding Photos

I was so delighted to walk into the supermarket today and see Kim Kardashian's wedding picture staring back at me on the cover of Who Magazine. Finally, the official wedding photos are here.


The August 20 nuptials of Kim, 30, and Kris, 26, were nothing short of over-the-top. From the enormous crystal-studded cross at the altar, to the 1.8m tall cake... this was one extravagant wedding.

Walking down the aisle in the first of her three Vera Wang gowns, Kim was dazzling (i guess the $15 million worth of Lorraine Schwartz jewellry helped a little too). With sisters Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie alongside her (all in ivory Vera Wang silk organza mermaid-style gowns), Kim married her beau of 12 months.

After the ceremony the 400 guests entered a 9 metre high tent, raised over a pool, for the old Hollywood themed black and white extravaganza. Kim changed into her second Vera Wang gown ready for her first dance to a live performance of "Angels" by Robin Thicke. Guests feasted on truffle pasta and other delights by Hollywood chef Wolfgang Puck. When it was time to cut their multi-tiered chocolate and vanilla swirl cake, Kim was in her third Vera Wang gown. The newlyweds and guests danced the night away to the sounds of Earth, Wind & Fire and DJ Cassidy. Kris and Kim will honeymoon in Europe and be home in time to relive their big day in a two-part E! tv special on October 11 and 12.
