The Dress

Now I need a Wedding Dress that intensifies my Glamorous image.

The Dress: I'm looking for the dress that complements my personality, very high fashion that is off-the shoulder and/or strapless, asymmetric in details with dropped waist extravagant silhouettes that accentuate every curve. And it would not hurt if it had Swarovski Crystals on it!

As the bride, everyone’s attention will be on you, so I want my guests to notice every single detail. So the dress has to stand out!

I ran across several wedding dresses that fit every category I'm looking for, these wedding dresses scream high fashion with a touch of elegance, drop waist silhouettes with such amazing detail.

Its absolutely impossible to pick one dress, from this fabulous selection of dresses I picked out. I wish I could wear them all!

What kind of Bride Am I ?

First and foremost I was trying to see what kind of Style I wanted to design my wedding after. So I took a quiz thanks to Brides.com, I discovered that I'm a Glamorous Bride.

"With a style that’s sleek, chic and a little bit dramatic, I adore the spotlight and all the glitz it garners".



The Glamorous Bride is :

-Dramatic

-Leading lady

-Urbane

-Bon vivant

-Jet-setting

-Luxe

Glamorous women grab the attention of people
with their sleek style, and sophisticated taste and being in the center of the spot light.

Choosing a Color Palette:

Your wedding colors will set the tone for your event, So its important to choose a color scheme that reflects who you are and one you can have the most fun with, through out the entire months of planning and through out your actual event.

So I chose various whites, a touch of green with cream and silver accents.
This wedding will be all about Glamorous, Bling, and Extravagant decor. I want to have detailed elements to include; clear glass, water, flowers and extreme lighting.

I also wanted the look of pure, chic with a bit of over the top elements, to send my guest home with such amazement.

Modern Co- Ed Baby Shower

I absolutely adore this Modern Co-ed Baby Shower
designed and created by Lotus Haus.




It was a baby girl shower with a very modern theme. She designed & created the shower invitations, party favors, floral arrangements and party decor. Wow what a hostess!

The colors were chocolate, raspberry and lime green with touches of silver.



The table arrangements featured curled up wire, floating flowers, orchids and wire wrapped grasses. She also used spotlights to add shots of pink color to the dark corners.





Here in her living room, the two chairs for the guest of honor, were decorated with tulle. The white paper lanterns are from Shoji Decor and are dressed up with pink tassels from Jo-Ann fabrics. And chocolate colored slip covers for the couch from Bed Bath and Beyond with pick and green pillows to top it off.



Don't you love the decor and details put in for this shower. She made a simple shower look Great! Thanks for the Inspirations.
