Simply Modern Weddings

Two words: Vera Wang. Not just another name in the fashion industry, Vera Wang has expanded her empire with her well-known wedding gowns becoming a household name and industry powerhouse for everything bridal.

Not only does she have her amazingly unique wedding gowns, jewelry, stationary, fine china, mattresses, fragrance, to her own Vera Wang suite at the Halekulani Hotel in Oahu. Yes, a suite designed by the fabulous Vera Wang herself.

So what else is on the horizon for Ms. Wang? VeraWangOnWeddings.com is set to launch on May 20, 2008. This site will be a great resource featuring photo galleries of her gowns, online shopping and gift registry, and videos featuring planning tips from Vera Wang. Make sure to sign up for the mailing list to get updated once the site launches!

In honor of today’s Earth Day, I have designed an “Eco-Consious Wedding” inspiration board. For more green wedding ideas, check out Brides.com, Eco Chic Weddings, and Portovert. Together we can all contribute to making the world a better place for generations to come!

Who doesn’t like a good “old-fashioned” red velvet cake? How about a good “modern-chic” red velvet cake?

Well feast your eyes on this Red Velvet Mini Party Cake from Vosges Haut-Chocolat. With “layers of sweet chocolate cake disguised in a scarlet hue, pressed between plenty of cream cheese-white chocolate ganache icing and organic New Mexican pecans”, it would make a sweet gift for Mother’s Day or any other special occasion. (or just an average Tuesday!)

How fabulous is this bride’s dress?! I just love it when people truly let their personality shine when selecting their wedding attire. It’s all about finding what matches your style and vision!
