Mellow Muted CDM Classics Bride
Friday, May 28th, 2010This bride is Mellow and Muted, nothing too bright and crazy for her… everything is laid back and elegant. Golds, dusty blues and deep berry tones in small doses make this bride relaxed and ready to stroll down the aisle and meet her Mr. Right.

Eclectic CDM Classic Bride
Thursday, May 27th, 2010Our girl is not afraid of big bold colors and mixing them all up into a something fantastic. This bride is sexy and confident and a bit sassy to boot. She generally won’t take no for an answer so just try not to get in her way, ok? Her bridal jewelry is big and bold to offset her sexy slinky wedding dress. Big chandelier earrings take center stage while a stunning bold bridal bracelet finishes the look.

The Woodland CDM Classics Bride
Tuesday, May 25th, 2010The Woodland Bride is a wee bit of a Nymph. She loves the bright colors that nature brings, fluttery things and all things girly. But don’t think for a minute that this bride is too much of a girly girl to get her hands dirty. She’s not afraid to toss off her shoes and head into the pond just to pick a gorgeous lily. Our girl sees something she wants and she goes after it, whatever it takes, you know what I mean.;)

The Mod CDM Classics Bride
Monday, May 24th, 2010I never used to like Brown as a color choice. Brown is not a color. Give me a REAL color please. Never say never… of course now I LOVE brown. It is so great mixed with other colors, makes them pop. For this Mod Bride, she has chosen Brown AND Black to mix with green, so mod.;) She is a lover of animal print, odd flowers, chocolate, no fuss cocktails, has a flair for the dramatic, but can also appreciate a hearkening back to traditional details.

Casino Champagne Bride
Friday, May 21st, 2010This last bride of the week is having a crazy Casino wedding in Vegas. Now I know that there are plenty of respectable traditional weddings that happen in Vegas every day… not for this bride, she is all about excess. Big hair, short dress, high heels, feathers as opposed to flowers (wouldn’t want anything that needs sunlight or water) and partying and gambling into the night. Then recovering the next day in a cabana poolside.

The Garden Party Champagne Bride!
Friday, May 21st, 2010This champagne bride is demure and sweet and wants the same in all her wedding details. But I can’t do a board without throwing something a little out there into the mix…

Ahhhh the Romantic Champagne bride…
Wednesday, May 19th, 2010I love this olor combination, pale lavender with tiny pops of bright orange. The Manuel Canovas fabric was the inspiration for this board.

Eclectic Champagne Bride
Monday, May 17th, 2010I don’t really like the word eclectic, I think everything I do is eclectic, but I couldn’t think of a better word to describe this bride! She likes peacock feathers and anything that is NOT a flower for her flowers, pods and sticks and leaves. She dons a sultry sexy silk charmeuse wedding dress with killer shoes. Her bridal jewelry is a long and languorous necklace with some impressive sparkly bridal chandelier earrings. Her wedding colors are purple and teal and pale yellow with touches of green. And she puts her bridesmaids in a crazy short purple peacock dress. Yet other touches are totally traditional. What word would you use to describe this bride?
