Indian dream wedding at Joy Marie Photographers
One of our most important aspects of wedding mania is presenting the diversity of different weddings. And so we look forward always a breath of fresh air, so to speak, to show a not for us everyday inspiration. For this we go today. On a short trip to San Francisco to experience Anjali & Girish’s traditional Indian wedding
And we thank them both from my heart that we can see so much beauty. Even alone at the sight of the exquisite fabrics in all the purple and gold, just so we could melt away and the hand-painted Mehndi testifies as much perfection as the love of the couple themselves
It is hard to put into words how much we touch the images of Joy Marie Photographers. Simply breathtaking!

Wedding Look Changers
Wedding Look Changers
by Nicole Brewer
There are so many ways to express your personal style on your wedding day—so, get creative and be ready to try something new! The best part about your bridal style is that you don’t have to stick with one look; you can transform your classic gown into a unique fashion statement with just a few simple items—without breaking the bank. Add eye-catching finishing touches like hairpieces, jewels, sashes and clutches, and personalize your wedding wardrobe with accessories you’ll wear again with fond memories. Celebrate your day in your style!
If you like the romance of a vintage inspired fashion, a birdcage veil, blusher or fascinator can complement any hairstyle and wedding gown.
Style V942
Consider swapping out your ceremony pearls for the classic sparkle of crystal or rhinestone accessories for the party. After all, the lighting, décor and mood shift during the reception. Why not bring on the bling at a fraction of the cost of diamonds?
Style DBW-P09195-N01
Style ER0333
Style NCQ108
Sashes are becoming a popular way to accentuate waistlines, and completely change the look of a dress. If you liked Kate Middleton’s lacey arm coverage, wear it during your ceremony and consider losing the lace for the wedding reception. You can reveal some skin and add a jewel encrusted sash–one embellished with delicate flowers, or perhaps a dramatic bow.
Style LSLACE
Style G21755
Though you may not be photographed carrying it, you’ll need a cute bridal clutch. For a twist on classic ivory, look for intricate lace or floral appliqués that make carrying your lip gloss and powder, something special. Or, go bold with a pop of color or bedazzled glitz and glam.
Style CHANTILLY
Style KEF433
Whether you have a make-up artist on hand or not, you can even change your nude gloss lip to a deep or bright red hue that says you’re ready to mix and mingle and dance all night!

Carmen’s Summer Vacation
Carmen’s Summer Vacation
by Carmen Ondonez
This past week the hubby and I went on a cruise to the Bahamas, St. Thomas and St. Marteen. We had such an amazing and relaxing time! It’s always so great to get away–my phone and internet did not work on the ship, so we literally disconnected for an entire week. Here are some of my favorite outfits from the trip.
Like most beach vacations I like to keep my outfits easy and breezy, especially after an entire day of tanning, the last thing I need are clothes that are too tight or too clingy…eek! I wore this embroidered dress with lace detailing while taking a stroll on Orient Beach in St. Marteen.
The second night on the ship was formal night, so it gave me a reason to get dolled up. I wore this purple sleeveless jersey dress with a charmeuse waistband from David’s Bridal. It‘s the perfect mix between comfortable and stylish.
Style E44239
I accessorized the dress with this gem clutch. It gave the dress a little more edge and not to mention it was a total steal for just $34!
Style HBROCKCANDY
This white bathing suit cover up was another one of my faves–cover-ups are so practical, and definitely a must-have for any beach vacation. You just throw it over your bathing suit and you’re good to go!
Like most vacations it went by so quick. But I’m glad to be back. What do you like to wear during your summer vacations? Any must-have piece you always take with you?

What’s in Katrina’s Closet?
What’s in Katrina’s Closet?
Staples Fit for Every Style
by Katrina Mitzeliotis
Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve had a penchant for dresses. While I’ve gotten older and my taste has expanded, I’m definitely still drawn to feminine looks—but you won’t just find dresses hanging in my closet! From a slew of blazers to colorful accessories, there are a few personal staples that make up my wardrobe. Rather than conform to what you think you should always have handy, I think it’s much more important to build your staples around your sense of style. Here are some staples from my personal closet I can’t live without.
Blazers
I must admit, I have a slight obsession with blazers –but lucky they are on-trend right now! A great jacket in the right proportions can really tie a whole look together. From colorful jackets to cropped jackets that I wear over dresses, I have found so many ways to update this personal staple.
The Black Dress
I may be born and raised in NY, but you would never know it if you peeked inside my colorful closet! While I am not a fan of the ‘we only wear black’ stereotype, there is a reason why the little black dress has never gone out of style– it’s SO practical. Whether I have a cocktail party to go to for work at the last minute or I’m attending a family affair, the little black dress has never let me down. I recommend opting for something more demure, like the below dress on the left, so it can work in a variety of settings.
Style 84618
Colorful accessories
While color seems to be everywhere lately, I’ve always believed that a pop of color or a fun print is the best way to update your look—it’s also a great way to break up a basic get-up if your style is on the classic side. For those who may think it’s a fleeting trend, I couldn’t disagree with you more– a red bag or even hair piece will never go out of style!
Style FLUTTER
Belts
Honestly, I would belt my pajamas if I could! Not only do I think that a belt can really finish off an outfit, but I like the way it defines my waist. Belts and sashes aren’t just for basic outfits, either. Sometimes it’s nice to dress up a basic trench or LBD with something feminine and unexpected, like this embellished option.
Style G21755
A great party dress
I love having an excuse to throw on a fun and sexy dress – who doesn’t?! If you’re looking for a new frock, I recommend sticking to a silhouette that really flatters your figure, so whenever you throw it on you feel confident and ready to dance the night away. This is a great party dress, and the embellished detailing makes it a perfect option for holiday dressing.

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim
by Carmen Ondonez
Last week, Miami took center stage for the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim. I got an up-close and personal look at some of latest trends we’ll be seeing for 2013–high-waisted bottoms, sexy cutouts and embellished bikini tops. But for those of us not wanting to wait until next year to rock these trends, here’s how you can take these runway looks from the beach to everyday wear.
Black and white was all over the runway from designers such as Dorit to Red Carter. There’s something just so elegant and chic about this color combo. This David’s Bridal strapless bodice dress is the perfect way to get this trend without the 100-degree weather.
Style 212S27330W
It wouldn’t be swim week in Miami without some glitz and glamour–and the swimwear from White Sands Australia definitely brought it. If you’re looking to add some shine to your next get together, then check out this all-over sequin blouson dress—it’s oh so fab!
Style 17567
Embellished necklines were all the rage at swim week, like this one from Cote d’Or. To recreate the look, opt for this one-shouldered number from David’s Bridal. It’s sophisticated, yet sexy and the best part is you don’t have to worry about accessorizing.
Style 260861D
I’m a big fan of this turquoise one-shoulder bathing suit from ANK. It definitely makes any tan pop. This gorgeous short sleeve taffeta gown is a great way to get the trend from the beach to your next event.
