Panetone Color Of The Year: Marsala

When we heard that Pantone's color of the year was Marsala, we let out a "ooohhhh", it was a beautiful choice!  Marsala is the color of Italian wine, and can be described as a deep red or even,  a burgundy. Pantone describes it as an earthy red wine color, that enriches the mind, body and soul, exuding confidence and stability. It is classic, it is elegant and it is formal.  When you think of deep hues, such as Marsala, brown, red, dark orange, you think of Autumn, but we think this color, can be fabulous anytime of the year. Pair it with neutral colors like our favorite, gold. Soft colors like, Blush Pink or with brighter colors, like Coral or Orange.  Take a look at the fabulousness of Marsala.

Trend 2013: Dare To Don Noir!

Let me tell you, back when I was planning this big obnoxious wedding, I was adamant about wearing a black dress!  I had watched an episode of "Platinum Weddings" and the bride wore a beautiful black dress, and I said, "YES"!  That is what I want to wear down the aisle! Then came the naysayers...boooooo!  They said things like, "Really, a black dress?" and "It's a wedding, not a funeral!" and so on and so forth.  My dream remained a dream.

In the last few years, designers have been adding one or two black gowns to their collections, and now in 2013, if you want to wear a black wedding dress, you have many to choose from.

A black gown is so daring, bold, sexy and glamorous.  Jump inside my head: The Bride is stunning in black, her bridesmaids in white or even silver or any other color, the possibilities are endless, preceding her like angels & colorful beings, as he waits in the wings....*sigh*...

Anyhoo, here are some of the black beauties! Enjoy!

High Drama! Cinematic Drama! Glamorous!  All of these words come to mind, when describing these absolutely stunning gowns, designed by Galia Lahav. "Galia Lahav's collections are spectacular and unique. They exhibit modern style while emphasizing the small details, the sewing quality and luxurious European imported fabrics".

David's Bridal ~ Spring 2013

Sneak Peek of David Bridal's Spring 2013 line.  My favorites are the gowns with the gold accents.  Very pretty!  I'm also digging the short gowns!  David's Bridal in my opinion has really come full circle with the designs of their gowns, as well as, adding more prominent designers.  Check out the pretty below!
