BRIDAL LINE: IVY & ASTER

Let's face it. Almost every girl has dreamed about her future wedding, I know I have. I'm a bit ashamed to say I've devoted hours to planning out my special day, including the location, color scheme, centerpieces, and bouquet. But the true star of the event, the dress, has always been kind of fuzzy in my mind. That is until now. I've always known I wanted something simple, but extremely elegant, with a trumpet or bell silhouette, and a short train. No floral appliques or bows, no gaudy rhinestones, no ruching, and definitely no strapless dresses (don't get me wrong, I love strapless dresses, but they're just not for me).

I came across Ivy & Aster, a recently launched bridal line that creates gorgeous, ethereal wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses. Created by two best friends (Ivy and Aster) from Atlanta, their dresses are now selling in bridal boutiques across the country. I've happily decided that my future wedding dress will be the one on the left (below) or one very similar to it. Now all I need is a groom!





Here are some more pictures from their dreamy collection.

HIPSTER WEDDING

Imagine an intimate affair with under 100 guests, handmade flower garlands draped through the tress of a magical outdoor wedding, the bride wearing a wedding gown with an unfinished hem , and large taffetta bows complete with a bohemian headband...and oh did I mention all of this was purchased from Urban Outfitters!!!

The ever so popular mass produced, "hipster" brand Urban Outfitters, Inc. is set to launch a bridal collection, Bhldna on Valentine's Day (a little ironic don't you think). The collection will be available online and later expand into stores in 2012.

The wedding and bridal industry is transforming into a more mainstream and accessible fashion outlet, and with Urban Outfitters participation I think the industry will gain even more success. With more and more young couples getting married in non-traditional ways, UO believes that they are "filling in space that no one's filling in. We're offering a take that's not out there" to brides that are looking for something unique and stylish for the big day.

The dresses will be created by Anthropologie's design team and other guest designers, which means you are bound to see a lot of detail work and eclectic versions of traditional gowns. The collection will have a lot of shorter dresses, lots of color and prints and no optic white dresses. Wedding gowns will be priced from $1,000 to $4,000 -- and special occasion frocks from $200 to $600.




Of course, Urban Outfitters is looking for even more ways to expand, as they plan on offering bridesmaids' dresses, jewelry, shoes, accessories and invitations, as well as wedding planning services.

Celebrity Hairstyles and Your Hair

Do you ever see a celebrity hairstyle in a magazine and think to yourself 'I want to get that hairstyle'?

Before you run off to your stylist with celebrity photo in hand, you need to do a little pre-salon evaluation. First, what type of hair texture does this celebrity have? Is her hair thick, thin or somewhere in between? Next, what is the face shape of this celebrity? Is it anywhere close to your face shape?

These are 2 very important factors that can make or break your celebrity hairstyle. If you have thick hair and select a hairstyle that is designed for thin hair, you are asking for trouble. Some stylists consider the hair texture to be the most important consideration for a new hairstyle and face shape is second.

Another important factor that you should always be thinking about is the circumstances surrounding celebrities today. They usually have a full time stylist that does their hair every day--which is why you see them always looking so fabulous. Do you have time every morning to do all the styling required to achieve the same results? Sometimes you might not be able to achieve these results---leaving you with bad hair days and dissapointments.

The best thing that you can do if you are thinking about a major hairstyle change is to try out the style using hairstyle imaging software. Check out the link below to see how easy it is to upload a photo of yourself and try on many different hairstyles. For each style that you try on there is also detailed styling instructions and info on what type of hair and face shape the styles are suited for.
