Fairy Princesses by Vera Wang

Vera is obviously one of, if not the queen of bridal, but this season her fairy princess inspired gowns are beyond worthy of royalty. This was one of my favorite collections of the week...you could hear gasps of amazement in the crowd! True fantasy, regal, feminine beauty. Can't wait for her giant new LA salon to open next year so us So Cal girls can get back to shopping! Check out these photos and more (plus video) on the Get Married Fashion Pages.Believe it or not, these gowns haven't even scratched the surface! Her new corresponding jewelry collection is just as fab...stay tuned for those to follow soon!

NYC Fashion Week with Get Married

Sorry we've been a bit tardy on our posts! This past week Get Married was at NYC Bridal Market to catch the latest and greatest trends from all of the hottest bridal designers and we were lucky enough to tag along to see all the amazing gowns up close and personal. Check out all the videos and photos from the Get Married site on the GM Fashion Pages.

Up first in our photo recap is the incredibly talented Jenny Packham. Her gowns are always so glamorous - the beading, the bling, a favorite of ours for sure! This season she brought in gold antique accents...new trend for 2009?

Preserve your memories in Style!

The Bridal Bar San Diego


We had such a great time at the Wedding Salon in Beverly Hills a couple of weeks ago and saw some great new ideas to share with you.

Once you have created the perfect day, why not preserve that memory with Kelly Kiefer Masterpiece? Kelly's custom-made masterpieces include elements of the wedding to capture the spirit and beauty of a once-in-a-lifetime wedding celebration. Some examples have included hundreds of individually placed Swarovski crystals and even thousands of rose petals used in wedding ceremony. What better way to remember that magical day?

Check out Kelly's website for more great examples of her work.

High Drama

A few days ago we went to the Wedding Salon event at the Beverly Hills Hotel and scoped out some new emerging floral trends. Take a look at what hot So Cal pros created. It seems as though the next big thing is big, over-the-top, jewel-toned centerpieces. Tall and full on top, the hanging accents really enhance the pieces.

Say I Do to the iPhone

What will they think of next? The iPhone now counts down your "I DO's." This new application allows you to be a bit more obsessed with your date. Now every time someone asks how long it is until the big day you can have an exact answer! Simply enter in your wedding date and time and let the countdown begin. Wedding Day app counts the years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and even seconds until you say
“iDO!” Helpful in planning since every second counts for busy brides and
grooms!

Wedding Day app continues to work even after you say your vows, by tracking how long you have been married. Down to the second! Since your iPhone or iPod Touch is always with you, the countdown is only a click away. Wedding Day is a real time tool and available on the iPhone App Store.
