Bride Heaven

Being the aspiring event planner that I am, I especially love all things wedding. I'm always searching for the latest trends, watching the many wedding shows, reading blogs, and ultimately dreaming about the day I get to put on a wedding from start to finish. When it comes to wedding planning the dress has to be most important aspect from the bride's view. It's the dress she will wear once and want to feel timeless on the biggest day of her life. Take a look at these stunning bridal gowns I found in a wide range of prices. FYI: According to Bridal Association of America, the average cost of a gown is $1,505.

Short & Sweet

Grecian Goddess

(Left) Not the conventional long dress, but still classy and sweet. A vintage inspired dress from Dolly Couture, $495.

(Right) A Saja gown, known for their ethereal style. Simple, romantic dress, $925.

Silk & Sleek

Mermaid to be

Sparkly Princess

Couture Dream

(Left) Oh, to be able to wear a Monique Lhuillier design, especially a Lhuillier wedding gown. Lhuillier pronounced: Loo-lee-ay. No doubt, a fairy tale. $4,620.

(Right) Last, but definitely not least, the Vera Wang gown. A true couture dream and splurge, $6,500.

My Gorgeous Day

Everything about Saturday, October 24th was top notch gorgeous that I had to share it with you all. If you don't know, I assist for a wedding planner and Saturday was wedding day! My boss, Cassandra, is really great to work with and learn from. It started out with a beautiful drive to Santa Monica at 10am to meet with the bridal party at the Viceroy Hotel. The outside does not describe the inside. The inside was luxurious with modern, sophisticated furniture, chic decor, and moments away from Santa Monica's best tourist attractions: the beach, third street promenade, and the pier. Even the restroom was a sight to see. Check out some photos I took:

*Star Sighting at the Hotel: Ryan Phillipe!

I was at the Viceroy till 2pm helping out with the party's needs and making sure they left the hotel in time to get to their Malibu venue. The couple was gorgeous and great to work with. The bride had impeccable style and beauty. The location is a private mansion up in the Malibu hills, where the owners rent out throughout the year for events. It is simply amazing in every aspect that little decor was needed. A very romantic place indeed. Besides the set up decor and location, the best part of the wedding was the groom and his 3 friends surprising the bride with a quirky, fun love song. Perfect, right? My day ended at 11pm and couldn't have been more gorgeous. Here are some photos from the ceremony:
