Mojitos Flowing at Tropical Paradise Wedding

COLLEEN: Costa Rica. My college friend and bridesmaid Emily was married over a hectic weekend of zip-line canopy tours and monkey-abundant nature walks. In the mountains, jungle vegetation, an unobstructed view of the Pacific. The most gorgeous pool stretched out over a cliff’s edge. Hot sun, rocky beach, a purple, orange and gold sunset.

Maid of Honor in Flattering Pencil Skirt and Strappy Sandals

DEMETRIA: There will be no tuxedos and no bridesmaid dresses at my wedding. We are having our ceremony on a beach in the Dominican Republic in the summer. It would be akin to torture to ask my fiance and his best man to wear a shirt, a vest and a jacket in 90 degree Read More

Looking for Compliments on my Simple, Elegant Save-the-Dates

DEMETRIA: We have two big things checked off our to-do list now. Our honeymoon is finally booked and I’ve ordered the save-the-dates. Antigua will be the post-nuptial hotspot.

R.I.P. Moira Shearer! My Search for Red Shoes

LAURIE: Having recently tried on my (red) wedding dress for the first time since July, I am happy to report that it still fits, perhaps even better than it fit on the day that I bought it. This is a huge relief, although now it means that I have to buckle down and deal with Read More

Released Into a Bright New World

COLLEEN: After four months of neglecting my wedding in favor of my first semester of grad school and my new adorable unhousebroken puppy…I am returning to bridal land. It’s like I’ve been in jail since September and have now been released into a world that’s a little too bright for my eyes. Here, finding Read More

If There Were an Even More Perfect Dress?

DEMETRIA: Wedding binder in hand, I made my way to my very first bridal salon visit. My bridal consultant’s name was Emily. I immediately felt at ease with her easy smile and honest brown eyes. The first gown Emily had me try on happened to be my favorite dress from the ones I had Read More
