Vera Wang Spring 2011

Although I've had my dress for months, I still love to browse sites for wedding dresses. *sigh* Any bride would love to wear a Vera Wang.

Vera Wang for David's Bridal

Yep, you've read it right. It's Vera Wang for David's Bridal! The Vera Wang. I was flipping through a couple of bridal magazines when an article caught my eye. I thought I read it wrong, but no! It was definitely an O-M-G moment for me. How can they do this?! Now, when I've already burned Topher's pocket with my Demetrios gown. Freakin' unfair!!!

Someone posted a link of the dresses from the Wedding Bee hive. It was Vera Wang herself guesting in Oprah, talking about the her new line, WHITE by Vera Wang for David's Bridal. It was said that the line will be available Spring 2011. There was this one dress that I absolutely LOOOOVE! Here are some of the dresses from the line:

(Vera Wang in Oprah)

(one-shoulder, crinkle chiffon-draped gown)

(halter-neck chiffon gown features a draped charmeuse bodice and floral corsage with grosgrain ribbon at its empire waist)

(delicately pleated bodice in netting and chiffon, features illusion straps and a floral corsage at its dropped waist)

(strapless chiffon and net gown that has a tucked bodice and is detailed with delicately gathered draping at the dropped waist)

(strapless taffeta, asymmetrically draped bodice features a sweetheart neckline and soft netting on a full ball gown skirt)

(one-shoulder mikado and structured organza fit-and-flare gown features a dropped waist and swirling draped skirt)

(strapless, satin-faced organza fit-and-flare long gown is detailed with lace appliqués and an asymmetrical pleated skirt)

(at front, illusion-edged V-neckline and scattered lace appliqués)

(inspired by Ivanka Trump's dress, features a short-sleeve, lace-illusion bodice with strapless, satin-faced organza full A-line skirt)

(strapless satin-faced organza ball gown has a diagonally draped bodice and an asymmetrically swirling draped ball gown skirt with floral corsage detailing)

And here is the dress that I ABSOLUTELY adore! It was inspired by Chelsea Clinton's gown!

(strapless structural organza fit-and-flare gown has a dropped waist and swirling draped skirt)

Isn't it absolutely Vera Wang? It was shown here in blush, but it will be available in ivory and soft white too. The dresses are said to retail between $600 to $1,400. A fraction of the price compared to her original line. *sigh* Hopefully, you dear readers will be able to get her dresses. I bet it will sell like hotcakes!

nice to have - personalized party napkins

I've been seeing personalized party napkins for quite some time but never really paid attention to them until recently. I know that TheKnot.com offers them but I didn't thought that they have a large selection. I'm pleasantly surprised that they have a STAR design for the napkins! :)) How cool is that?!

They are currently on sale right now, $19.99 for 100 pcs (luncheon napkin, 7"x7") and $17.99 (cocktail napkin, 5"x5"). I'm now debating with myself if I should just order and be done with it. Funny how I fuss over the little details yet I'm still looking for our florist and we don't even have a cake!

So anyway, the following are the options for personalizing the napkins:

one can enter their personal information (name, wedding date and monogram initial)

one can then choose the napkin color (we're choosing PLUM) and the ink color (SILVER FOIL)

choosing the font comes next (leaning towards Font 2: MODERN)

last comes the design, we're choosing STARS! :)

the napkin will be this color with the STAR design and an ink SILVER foil finish.

There are a couple of designs that I saw online and I'm green with envy, hahaha. I do hope that we can book all that needs to be book so that I can order this!
