Long Distance Wedding Planning

Jenny's Illustration Board
My niece, Jennifer Nalus, is getting married in January, 2010. I was so excited when she asked me to help her plan her wedding. The wedding is in the Philippines and I am in California, so that is a bit of a challenge. All my wedding vendors are in the US and I am not familiar with wedding vendors in the Philippines. However, with my talented sister-in-law and my other nieces helping their sister, everything is working fine. Jenny’s wedding planning is coming together.

Monique Lhuillier "Bliss"
I did mention in my previous post that Monique Lhuillier is my favorite wedding designer. Today, I am thrilled to say that she and her husband, Tom Bugbee, recently announced the fall launch of their affordable line called “Bliss”. This brand new collection will include 14 designs, all with that “Monique” touch – fabulous designs, embellished, elegant lace, organza and silk fabrics – at a much affordable price. The gowns price range from $2400 to $3500 so the bride on a budget can still wear the Monique Lhuillier label.
Designer Wedding Gowns – Get the Look for Less
September 27, 2009
I came across a Wedding Supplement of Town & Country Weddings magazine a few days ago. For those who are not familiar with this magazine, it is, as their tag line says ” A sophisticated title for the elegant and discerning bride”; translation – upscale, high-end weddings. I love the looks, the real brides and everything they have from cover to cover, so luxurious. However, after I finished browsing the pages, I was thinking to myself how a bride with a limited budget be able to wear designer wedding gown just like the ones in the magazine. Then, it occurred to me that I can surf the net and find cheaper alternatives to these designer gowns. By cheaper, I do not mean tacky or knock-offs. I meant just as classy, but has a lower price than the designer one. I admit it was fun searching the Internet, albeit it takes a lot of time.
Exquisite Bridal Lingerie
July 4, 2009
Sometimes the most important accessories are those that remain unseen.
As the soon-to-be bride, one of your most important accessories, second only to your bridal gown, veil and shoes, is your lingerie – your wedding under garment and your honeymoon lingerie. I have seen quite a few styles – from the ultra conservative to totally barely there. I am pro-elegant and prefer tasteful sleepwear and under garments for a bride’s trousseau; something very sensual, soft and fits perfectly like your wedding gown.
Wedding Nail Designs for Brides
June 13, 2009
We all know that brides-to-be have a lot to prepare for their wedding – from their veils down to their shoes; not to mention all the wedding accessories like wedding rings, flowers, reception menu and all the little details that will make their wedding stand out from the rest. One of those details is getting a manicure or acrylic nails that will shine as they hold their bridal bouquet, be on center stage during the traditional ring ceremony, the wedding toast and the wedding cake cutting ceremony.
