I submitted a photo to Glamour Magazine back in October about my Pakistani wedding attire, and I was soooo excited to be one of the five brides featured on their Save the Date blog this morning!
That's me!
Here’s a link to the post. They called my look “over-the-top stunning.” I literally almost died when I read that. The other brides are super gorgeous, too! Yippeeee.
*happy dance*
I am already married, but I thought I must share the exciting news that Monique Lhuillier is once again having their famed Sample Sale in Los Angeles this Sunday! *EEE*! Brides everywhere rejoice! This is probably one of the most highly-anticipated events… I mean celebrity brides adore Monique Lhuillier wedding dresses.
Here’s the skinny:
-It starts at 10am (get in line EARLY. You better believe brides are going to be lining up). -Everything is on a first come, first serve basis. It ends at 4pm but I wouldn’t count on getting there that late.
-Cash, Visa, MasterCard and AmEx are all accepted (no Discover Card).
-Everything is sold as is and all sales are final
-NOT at the flagship store on Melrose; it’s going to be held at 1201 S. Grand Avenue, 2nd Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90015
A girlfriend of mine waited this past July and walked away with a fabulous wedding gown. She paid just 10% of the retail price! This is such a great deal I really wish I had gone to this sample sale last year for my own wedding dress.
Good luck all you brides. I want to hear details about brides who snagged a gown at this event, leave me a comment after December 4. 🙂
Here’s the flyer:
Bridal Showers are soo much fun! My sister is getting married at the end of December, so naturally I get to return the favor and plan an amazing bridal shower for her! We initially were thinking of doing a Mediterranean/Moroccan Theme (for which we scoured Raj Tents for inspiration!) but we had to change the theme to Sex and the City. There’s a lot we can do with SATC!
I was inspired by the New York Skyline at sunset–the beautiful colors really spoke to me: blue, orange, pink, and the blackened buildings against the skyline. I was careful not to think “too pink” because she’s not as in love with pink as I am. Here’s a quick inspiration board I came up with using StyleMePretty‘s incredible service:
I like the idea of periwinkle blue table covers (probably cocktail height), orange, pink and white paper lanterns stringed along with lights, pink cocktails a-la Samantha, Carrie, Charlotte and Miranda’s favorite Cosmos, Hors D’Oerves and mini-foods as the main course (because really, how else do New York girls stay skinny?), and of course a fabulous assortment of desserts. I’m thinking cupcakes with little Martini glasses and High Heel cutouts atop them, macarons (yum!) and cute desserts in shot glasses (Pier 1 has super cute ones!).
My cousins and I haven’t discussed the menu yet, but I’m imagining sliders with a side of fries in a cute cone cup as our main courses. Maybe even truffled mac-n-cheese (delicious!) in cute single serving cups…. hmmm the ideas are endless!
Do you have any ideas for main dishes?
