Brides magazine recently underwent a modern transformation. There is a subtle change in the font on the front cover and the layouts look so much fresher. Brides website is also a hot spot for beautiful wedding inspiration with the same new look as the magazine.
Each month a new inspiration board is featured and I was so excited to see this month’s inspiration Hollywood Glamour in Cannes. Cote de Azure is the most unpretentious, glamorous place I have ever been on Earth and I love the idea of using that as inspiration for your wedding day.
Cannes Modern Glamour Inspiration on Brides

It is a beautiful Southern California day and I am so glad it is the weekend! I will be making my way to the Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area in Irwindale, CA for the Renaissance Pleasure Faire! I go to the faire with my family every year and it is a huge festival with artists, performers, food and activities all decked out to look like an old English town. This weekend is a Steam Punk costume contest. I have heard about Steam Punk design from my sister, Alyson, so I am excited to get a first hand look at the fashion and inventions (and probably a whole lot of inspiration!)
So, I will leave you with Monique Lhuillier‘s Luxurious Spring 2013 Bridal Gown line. All of the pictures can be found at Wedding Inspirasi, my go-to for the latest bridal gown fashion. Have a great Saturday!
The New York City International Bridal Week was held this past weekend (April 14-16) and the top bridal designers showcased their new wedding gown designs for the Spring 2013 season.
For her Spring 2013 collection, Vera Wang took inspiration from the Chinese tradition of a bride wearing bright red on their wedding day. Red is said to bring prosperity and luck to the happy couple. Any woman wearing a Vera Wang gown on her wedding day is already a lucky lady! For those bride’s that are a little less daring, all of the bridal gown’s shown are also available in white and various off white shades.
