L'amour de vie :: photography
Laura Hannah is an amazing local photographer! She has shot the weddings of two of our featured brides and is definitely one of the best area photographers - no matter what you desire to have photographed. Recently, she combined with Paige Eden to form L'amour de vie (love of life). This duo shoots some of the most amazing wedding photographs I've ever seen. I hope you enjoy a look at their brilliant work...

I have fallen head over heels in love with etsy.com. This website is "a place to buy and sell all things handmade." It is an awesome place to find just about anything made by artists, crafters, designers, really just about anything you can think of. It's a great way to support individuals and find really unique items. Today I did a little poking around an found some great options for wedding favors.

New 2Be Gowns
New 2Be Gowns
It is always exciting to get together with the other 2Be Bride authorized dealers to view the new line. We work on it all year and it is a great feeling to reach the end product in June. This year we met in Nashville Tennessee.
We stayed at the Union Station Hotel - a train station built in 1904 which was refurbished and converted to a hotel about a year ago. A great place to stay in Nashville and within walking distances of the downtown restaurants and "Honky Tonks".
2Be is split into three distinct lines. My favorite dresses are usually the Elizabeth Darcy collection. I love silk shantung, simple lines and feminine silhouettes; all featured in this group. The gowns are great for outdoor or garden weddings and any bride who loves the classic "less is best" look. The Gavin Michaels are more contemporary and sexy. Finally V-necks! One is very European with a un-lined lace corseted midriff. I really liked the "paper bag" neckline on a slim fitted, dropped waist gown. Isabella Chessari gowns are embellished with crystals and beading. Watch for fitted beaded dropped bodices with embroidery and beading on the trains. Those crystals really to sparkle and light up the room. I was thrilled with the social occasion line of Nathan Taylor. Dresses that are just too fun to be considered bridesmaid-ish. The knee lengths are my favorites; I love the bubble hem and the baby doll. I can see the baby doll in light blue as a rehearsal dress, or for the honeymoon, especially at the beach! We have new light weight jackets too, great for moms. We will have all of the social dresses and my favorites of the three bridal lines. Watch for photos to be on 2bebride.com soon. Also, we are having a trunk show in late September that will feature this newest collection!

My husband and I, along with the other board members, worked hard to set this event up. But it was well worth it. I am very proud of this season's line Our new samples should start arriving in late September. I'm sure Colorado brides will love this line as much as I do.

You know we love anything equine, so I couldn't go past this sweet stationery set from Lucky Paperie in the US. Pony passions aside, they do offer a nice range of designs suitable for many different styles of wedding.

When I was planning my wedding, I know one of the hardest things for me to find were really cool gifts for my wonderful bridesmaids. I wanted to be creative and pick out unique gifts for each of my girls - something they personally would really enjoy. With all the other planning going on, finding a completely unique gift for each girl proved to be too much for me to tackle.
1154Lill provides an option to customize a great bag for each of your girls without having to scour the earth (or the internet) for different but "equal" gifts. Simply choose the style of bag (they vary in price from $26-$200) and pick a fabric that you like.
style from top to bottom - Donna, Samantha :: photos from 1154lill.comI received one of these custom bags as a gift not too long ago and I am completely in love with it. I love that it is one of a kind, made just for me and the quality is amazing.
Pronovias Market in Barcelona
I am always amazed at how well Pronovias can handle so many people from so many different countries for a weekend of wining, dining and fashion. They met us at the airport and took us to our hotel where we slept for 6 hours. We had a casual dinner Thursday night with plenty of time to visit with other store owners. It is so much fun to catch up with the same people each year.
Instead of the usual fashion show and formal dinner on Friday night, we were treated to an exhibit at the Catalonia Art Museum. The exhibit was The 50 Best Wedding Dresses from the 50 Best Designers in the World, created with Swarovski Crystal. I've never seen so much sparkle in one room! What do you think of the one with the wool jacket? Perfect for Colorado winters? After the exhibit, we enjoyed the formal dinner. The tables are always beautiful and the food interesting to say the least. The entertainment was a performance of American Broadway Hits. Isn't it funny that Europeans so often perform American music for international audiences?
More from the Pronovias Market in Barcelona later this week...

Wedding Feature :: Amy & Thomas
all photos courtesy of Studio JK Photography - studiojk.com
Wedding details :: Amy and Thomas were married at Holy Ghost Catholic Church. The entire day was captured by Joe and Joyce Keum of Studio JK Photography. Their reception was held at The University Club in Downtown Denver. Amy wore a Maggie Sottero gown with a cathedral-length veil and custom jewelry by Winters & Rain, all from The Bridal Collection. Amy's beautiful flowers were created by Diane Evans, of Evanscraft Designs. DJ Bret with Main Events provided the music. In lieu of a traditional wedding cake, the couple served individual 3-tiered mousse desserts, prepared by the University Club. Keri McLean, of State of the Arts Dance Studio helped the couple prepare for their first dance. At the end of the night, the couple was swept away by horse and carriage provided by Irish Rose Carriages, based in downtown
A few notes from the bride:
-The bridal party went to the Grand Salon downtown to have our hair done, (they let us book the entire place and they brought in champagne and snacks for us). Afterwards we had a traditional tea while we did our makeup and got dressed.
- During the reception, we were able to personalize the room with framed photos, and coffee tables with our scrapbooks.
- Our guest book was a pressed chocolate leather journal that I customized with images of us over the 7 years we dated and different wedding vows - our guests wrote personal messages around the photos.
- We named all of the tables after places we lived or have been together.
- The gifts on the table were Christmas ornaments (we are big on Christmas) and were made from Springerle cookie molds - which Thomas' ancestors used.
