Gorgeous Wedding Dress

WHAT'S NEW IN THE GOWN GALLERY?

Phaedra 1Phaedra 2
'Phaedra' is actually separates: a top and skirt offering you some options after the big day.  This gown was created out of many yards of tea-dyed cotton tulle hand pleated over appliques of Chantilly lace.  A row of precious white and gray stones act as buttons down the front of the bodice.  The skirt is silk chiffon with a tulle drape.  The back shows a strip of hook and eye closures--the kind used in sportswear, hinting something this delicate and diaphanous would be as awesome with jeans as the pearl and crystal jewelry above . . .

PINK AND GOLD

Pink and Gold

Carnal Apple, Woman Filled, Burning Moon,

dark smell of seaweed, crush of mud and light,
what secret knowledge is clasped between your pillars?
What primal night does Man touch with his senses?
Ay, Love is a journey through waters and stars,
through suffocating air, sharp tempests of grain:
Love is a war of lightning,
and two bodies ruined by a single sweetness.
Kiss by kiss I cover your tiny infinity,
your margins, your rivers, your diminutive villages,
and a genital fire, transformed by delight,
slips through the narrow channels of blood
to precipitate a nocturnal carnation,
to be, and be nothing but light in the dark.

--Pablo Neruda--

Sunday Special: Best Brand New Wedding Dress

A WHITER SHADE OF PALE

Whiter Shade of Pale
Kudos go out to Naomi V. Goodman of Enchanted Dream Weddings and Affairs for creating this inspiration of blue and gray whites. For me there's a trace of costume element found in the dress, jacket and headpiece lending added texture to this medley . . .

PINK

Of all the colors in the spectrum, pink is the first shade a bride opts for once she decides to ditch the white.  Why?  Well, here's my theory: It's associated with girls from the time they're born and continues to be an 
exclusively feminine color right through life.  These images show many shades of pink from the mauviest lavenders and cotton candy pink to warm peaches . . .
