Looking for Stylish Wedding Shoes? Try and TRUMP these!

Your Las Vegas Wedding Concierge is all about shoes!

A girl can NEVER have TOO MANY shoes and that’s just a fact of life as far as I’m concerned.

And what is that ultimate “Cinderella” pair themselves? . . . your wedding shoes of course!

They certainly don’t have to be glass slippers, but your wedding shoes definitely must be stylish, compliment your wedding gown and be comfortable to dance the night away in. Your Las Vegas Wedding Concierge will have none of this “flip flop” sandal business please and thank you. A great alternative though is a pretty pair of ballet flats!

I am so impressed with the new shoe collection from Ivanka Trump, who has now created sexy, stylish and affordable footware that take you from the office to a weekend getaway, the “Red Carpet” to the ultimate runway . . . your wedding aisle!

The “White” collection appeals to the classic bridal look but is hardly traditional with sexy styles like “Aluvia, Asteria, the lace inspired “Diamund” and the satin wrap “Dermani”. However, for all you daring brides who want to show off, don’t be afraid to rock one of these styles in a hue that gives a whole new meaning to “Something Blue”.

Whatever style you choose, do purchase your shoes early enough to have them with you for your final gown fittings, to give you enough time to break them in and practice wearing them so you feel completely beautiful and assured when you slip them on on your wedding day to walk towards your groom.

I do believe I have another item to add to the holiday wish list;)!!

Think (Pantone Honeysuckle) PINK for 2011 Weddings

Thursday, December 9th, 2010

Your Las Vegas Wedding Concierge is tickled. . . PINK to discover the breaking style news today that the arbiters of all things color at Pantone, have selected “Honeysuckle” pink as the “Color of the Year” for 2011.

Here is the description of the color from Pantone . . .

A Color for All Seasons “Courageous. Confident. Vital. A brave new color, for a brave new world. Let the bold spirit of Honeysuckle infuse you, lift you and carry you through the year. It’s a color for every day – with nothing “everyday” about it.

BRIDES…REJOICE!! I know I have one pink loving bride in particular getting married this May who was fashion forward, choosing a shade of pink quite similar, long before this news hit . She is probably jumping for joy that her favorite color is going to be in abundance for her pleasure (and all you other pink loving brides and readers).

Whether it’s cakes, gowns, dresses, stationery, ties, makeup, floral and decor, linens and more, the wedding world is blushing (pink of course) and gushing over this lovely, cheery shade that radiates optimism for the future that is celebrated with marriage.

I love the use of “Honeysuckle Pink” in this style board “My Personal Artist”, Michelle Mospens, has created and allowed me to share with you. It pairs it with “beeswax yellow” and “coral rose orange” (I just love the names these colors get…so delicious sounding).

I truly adore the 2011 color of the year honeysuckle. xoxo

Here I have paired honeysuckle pink, beeswax yellow, and coral rose orange. Remember, when creating your color combination know that you may not be able to find the perfect “honeysuckle pink” to match the color you see online. Don’t fret a hue in the same color family will work perfectly for your big day. Remember to have fun and mix it up a bit. A dash of light pink here and there are lovely too. Look for many more inspiration boards to come! Enjoy!!-Michelle

Michelle’s website and blog are filled with beautiful color inspirations, invitation styles and ideas for you to dive into as well as expert advise on selecting color palettes for your wedding style and more.

And though I am usually all about the turquoise (2010 Color of the Year by the way and still going strong)…

Today I am celebrating PINK on my blog with Love, Life & Style! It compliments the gray beautifully, don’t you agree?

Tameca and Chandra 10/10/10 by Write Shot

Dear Tameca and Chandra,

I am pleased and honored to feature your beautiful “Celebration of Love and Life” on my blog highlighted by this beautiful wedding slide show.

From the moment I first spoke with both of you, I admired your story, your style (in every sense of the word), passion for life, your relationship with your families and friends and dedication to your community. Most of all, I admired, and still do, your love for each other.

As you look at these photos, I hope you remember with a smile, as I do, the highlights of your day.

There are so many moments that I recall that touched me. I have only room to list a few here, including . . .

Hanging with the two of you and your dearest friends in your surprise Wynn, Las Vegas Tower Suites (so cool!) and watching you transform into beautiful brides. Tameca, your first hesitant “mermaid” steps in your gown and Chandra, how you radiated confidence in your suit and complimented Tameca so well.

Experiencing your ceremony; the candlelight, the warmth and the poetry you selected that so encapsulates your relationship.

Watching you both on the dance floor surrounded by the love of your family and friends, having the time of your lives and enjoying the sweetness of the day. Oh, sweetness!! Did I mention ALL all the amazing desserts and 2 cakes including, your Vegas Vegan masterpiece?;)

I wish you both a lifetime together filled with good health and good fortune so you can keep doing the good you do for others, with lots of laughter, lots of joy and most of all….LOTS OF LOVE!

With Love,
Tracey

Your Las Vegas Wedding Concierge wishes to thank the Creative Wedding Team for all your talent, creativity and dedication and making this experience so wonderful for Tameca and Chandra.
