I was chatting with Dave the Shoe Guy for a fashion story this week, and he told me an adorable story about how he proposed to his wife – and met Manolo Blahnik along the way – I just had to share here.
Dave and his wife-to-be met and started dating while working in the shoe department at Nordstrom. One Valentine’s Day as he was getting ready to ask her to marry him, Manolo Blahnik, Dave’s favorite shoe designer, came out with a sparkly silver sandal that was $2,000 with only 36 made in the entire world.

Personally, I’m a fan of monogramming everything in sight. Especially when it comes to weddings. So I am particularly enamored of this custom wedding dress label by Garter Maker.

The colder the weather, the more accessories you can wear! If it’s going to be really chilly on your big day then consider this luxurious and rather theatrical champagne brocade cloak, lined with duchess satin and lined with faux fur. Priced £385 from Honeysuckle Furs.

Maybe it’s the snow but I’m getting carried away dreaming about dramatic winter weddings! How lovely is this ivory marabou hand warmer, £75 from Wonderful Wraps? Think Lara and Doctor Zhivago, candlelight and ice sculptures, chilled bison grass vodka and a (faux) fur wrap. Magical.

Finding the perfect shoes for your wedding can be even more difficult than finding the perfect gown – particularly for a shoe fanatic. (Who, me?) Add in the challenge of irregular sizes or widths, and you can really feel screwed.
Don’t worry, Stuart Weitzman is here to help. The brand, which features a fabulous bridal line, is now offering 11 white satin styles in sizes 5-10 M, 7-9 N and 6-9 W. And these styles are really the cream of the crop, like the Lover, $325, at left.
You can peruse the styles in-person at the Stuart Weitzman store, try on a sample (which are in-store and used only for fitting) order it to be received in a few days.
Keep reading to see more styles!

Accessories - Bags, Tiaras, etc
By AbiSilvester on January 27th, 2009
It’s about this time of year that the shops are suddenly bursting with romantic-looking jewellery that makes it terribly easy to find a quick valentine’s gift. If you’re tying the knot in spring, you might want to take advantage of all this love that’s in the air and stock up on accessories for bridesmaids, gifts for guests or additional accessories to complete your look. I’ve picked out some of my favourites of the season, all of which are made under strict ethical conditions but are still good value for money.

Fascinators always say special event to me, and what better than a wedding, especially when it’s your own. This one is almost hat sized with a wide crin disc on which is perched a spray of feathers. You could go for the cream or white versions or why not pep your outfit up with turquoise, fuchsia, orange, chocolate or many other colours all for £80 at Event Headwear.

Fascinators at weddings can either look amazing in a high fashion Dita Von Teese / Sarah Jessica Parker kind of way OR they can look like Ladies’ Day at Ascot on acid. Not good. My advice would be to go something fairly compact (so as not to mar anyone’s view of the ceremony), think “less is more” with the style (or risk drunk guests asking you “what is that on your head?”) and work the retro look head to toe. I love this “Abigail” fascinator, approx £130 from Event Headwear - handmade dyed silk roses, a smattering of feathers and a coquette-ish veil, all held in place with a comb. Wear with a flirty pink 50s shift and you’re good to go.

Accessories - Bags, Tiaras, etc, Engagement, Rings & Jewellery
By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on January 6th, 2009
For a unique way to say I do, check out these rings ranging from affordable to downright cheap.
Perhaps meant as a novelty, this felt ring, $28, would satisfy new and blue requirements on the way to the chapel (or justice of the peace, as this seems perfect for a quickie wedding). Soft and sustainable, the ring becomes three dimensional when slotted together. After all, who doesn’t want an engagement ring with simple assembly required?
