Look glamourous and feel fierce for your wedding day! The dress above was recently featured at Christian Siriano’s fashion show during New York fashion week . . . and I must say that it is the perfect combination of fashion forward femininity, unconventional colour, poise, and fearless confidence.

Every bride should feel their most fabulous for their wedding day, so don’t feel restricted by conventional wedding gown styles. With Christiano Siriano’s touch of couture on wedding gowns, his dresses (and pant suits) definitely help to break down the boundaries of wedding fashion for females!

On July 31, 2010, America had its own version of a royal wedding. Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky tied the knot. Chelsea looked simply breath-taking as her father, Bill, walked her down the aisle. The wedding took place at the Astor Court Estate in Rhinebeck, NY. Clinton wore a custom silk organza Vera Wang wedding gown.

When asked how she felt about Chelsea choosing her as her gown designer, Wang commented: “It was an honour and a privilege to dress Chelsea on her wedding day. I have watched her grow into a beautiful, grounded and caring young woman. She radiated joy, youth and happiness. I wish Chelsea and Marc a long, happy and healthy life together.”

While many of us are familiar with Chelsea Clinton, not everyone knows who Marc Mezvinsky is. Mezvinsky comes from a political background as well. He is the son of former Iowa congressman Edward Mezvinsky and former NBC reporter and congresswoman Marjorie Margolies Mezvinsky. Marc is an investment banker with Goldman Sachs.

The couple met as teens, and attended Stanford together.

Despite the security required for the 500 guests, dignitaries and celebrities present at the wedding, the ceremony was incredibly romantic and intimate.

Details have been kept under wraps, but some information is out. During the interfaith ceremony the couple quoted from The Life That I Have by Leo Marks. Marc wore a traditional Jewish prayer shawl and cap with a Burberry suit. A Jewish Marriage certificate was beautifully displayed (called a Katuba). Both Chelsea and Mark exchanged their tender vows of everlasting love and commitment to each other.

Chelsea’s and Mark’s $3 million wedding was nothing short of a fairy-tale wedding.

It’s that time of the year again! On September 19, 2010, Bridal Conference: Fall’s Boutique Bridal Show will take place at the Edmonton Expo Centre. This is a must- attend event for engaged couples, their friends, and their families.

Couples will have the opportunity to win over $90 000 in prizes and gifts, and meet with wedding industry experts to get the resources and knowledge they need to plan their big day. Plus, ladies looking for the perfect dress will be inspired by the latest styles showcased during two professionally choreographed fashion shows.

To top it all off, tickets include free bonuses, and the chance to win great prizes like a brand new, XC60 Volvo, which will be given away to a lucky bride during the show, or a trip to Paris. There are many other prizes to be won as well. Every bride receives a free wedding planner at the door, and the chance to enter to win a fantasy honeymoon and over $90,000 in prizes and gifts!

At the Bridal Conference, brides will also be able to get their hands on some of the most fashionable wedding dresses at a discounted price during the bridal gown sale.

So get your tickets soon as they are only $20.00 (includes GST) which also includes a FREE Wedding Planner that is valued at $14.95 at the door. Come and meet with some of today’s most knowledgeable, up-to-date and unique wedding experts.

We’ve been doing this for years, so here are a few tips to prepare for the big event:
1. Bring a large bag to store all the information you will be collecting.
2. Print off a sheet of labels with your contact information for all the wonderful prize draws you will be entering - name, complete mailing address, phone, email & wedding date.
3. Make sure to wear comfy shoes.
4. Bring your ID along in case you win a prize.
5. Bring a notebook and a pen (or your trusty mobile) to mark down vendors or ideas you really like.
6. Bring your cheque-book in case you want to book something at the show and need to put a deposit down. Some of the best deals around are through vendors at the show!
7. Get seats for the fashion show early – seats fill up fast.
8. Sign up for all the giveaways and draws you can. Just because you already have a limo booked doesn’t mean you can’t use what they have chosen to give as a door prize!
9. Bring swatches of material of your wedding colours. This will help a lot of vendors make appropriate suggestions as to what they can do for you.
10. Don’t be afraid to ask a lot of questions - our guests of wedding professionals are there to help you!
