fashion week – nyc 2013 – zac posen

I needed to shift gears for a minute since we are in the middle of fashion week in New York. I cannot help but be completely inspired by the Spring 2013 collection which I have seen here.

Here are some of my favorites from designer Zac Posen Spring 2013 collection

time to reflect while i descend from cloud 9

For the past four months, I have done nothing but run around while I organize “the wedding” and although it’s been a few days (mostly 3) since the occasion, I find myself periodically reflecting on the most beautiful event I have experienced in my lifetime. I honestly believe we were all on cloud 9 (as I smile from ear to ear).

The most I want to remember is, the bride and groom’s humble smiles and blushed cheeks, the family and  friends who made an effort to be there, the laughter and sincere gestures of all the guests, and finally the most amazing Springtime weather San Francisco had to offer.

Thank you everyone…

wedding day countdown

Tic toc, tic toc is the best I could jot down to express the number of hours and day remaining to the wedding of the century (at least from where I am sitting:) ).  And of course I don’t need to tell anyone, weddings are probably the most stressful thing to experience (I am still trying to figure out why that is)

While we plow through the to-do list, I can’t help but go over the details in my head over and over and over again just to make sure we don’t forget anything. Being a wedding planner is a b**** (oops did I say that out loud).

Anyway, through photos, I can give a glimps of what goes through my head, even while I am writing this blog entry.

bridal party in pinks and lavender

It is officially “the wedding season” and with it, the collection of beautiful pastel colored bridal party gowns are finally making their way, slowly but surely into the traditional department stores and boutiques (online doesn’t count in this case) and although there are many beautiful colors on display, I can honestly say various shades of pinks and lavender from here are my favorites:

choosing the right special occasion shoes

In fashion, not every style or design looks good in every color, so when shopping for  a special occasion gown or shoes (in this case) it is always good to consider the color while choosing the style.

Let me know what you think about the examples below, which color looks better on the style of shoe?

let them eat cake – a wedding cake that is

While helping a certain bride-to-be choose her wedding cake, I silently wondered why the task would be so difficult. After all, the cake cutting ceremony is usually late in the evening and by that point most guests are either gone or don’t even pay attention to the tradition.

But after doing my research on the significance of the cake cutting tradition here, I realized giving the decoration great thought is a representation of the bride (mostly) and sometimes the groom.

Now, although traditionally round cakes were the norm, I personally prefer the square ones. They somehow make a bolder statement :) .  What say you?
