Diary

Today I want to share my thoughts with you. When I started this blog, I wanted to focus on beautiful gowns and looking fabulous. Being a bride is more than that. Growing up in a pentecostal church, I was taught that Jesus will one day come for His bride, the church. I never really understood what that meant. As I look at the beautiful wedding gowns,I am starting to comprehend what the Reverend was saying. First, please do not think I am giving a sermon or pressing anyone to a specific religion. I feel I should share my thoughts. In Revelation 19:7 it states "Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His wife has made herself ready." A bride always dreams of a spectacular wedding day from the gown to the reception. I feel that everyday I should be preparing my wedding day for the Lord. That means the way I carry myself, the way I treat others and my relationship with God should always be my main concern. With all the changes that are occurring in this world, I wonder what kind of bride I am. Am I the Bride , God is looking for? Does the couture gown make a statement on the outside but not within? If you are single or getting married. Remember you are always a bride. We should always be in preparation for the day Jesus comes for his church.

Be blessed and fabulous.

Style File- Hair Styles

Happy Mother's Day to all mothers and future mothers, aunties and godmothers. You are a star all year round.

I am going to take a break from bridal couture. Let us look at some hairstyles that can look stunning at the red carpet and down the aisle. Yes, the dress is important but the hairstyle can make or break the entire look. Ladies, please stay away from too much curls. You do not want to look like you have a bird's nest on your head. I feel simplicity is key.

J Crew recently launched a bridal collection. I know J CREW? The line is simple and elegant. The prices are reasonable. For a wedding in City Hall or Justice of the Peace, I think this is a good way to go.

Women's Month Celebration

With March almost ending, I have to take time out to celebrate my favorite female designer. Today we honor Amsale.

Amsale's love of fashion began as a young girl growing up in Ethiopia. However, Amsale never considered becoming a designer: "In Ethiopia there were no fashion designers. I never knew that designing beautiful clothes was a profession to which one could aspire."

Amsale left Boston, enrolled in New York's Fashion Institute of Technology and began her career as a design assistant for Harve Bernard upon graduation. Two years later, Amsale launched her custom bridal-gown business with her "forever modern" approach to sophisticated design.
Amsale's design philosophy has redefined the perception of the timeless wedding gown. Her innovative twists to time honored hallmarks of the traditional wedding gown—reintroducing "illusion design," modern updates of the traditional bustle, and tasteful color accents including the now-famous "blue sash" gown—have become so popular among prospective brides that they have been recognized as modern classics.Amsale left Boston, enrolled in New York's Fashion Institute of Technology and began her career as a design assistant for Harve Bernard upon graduation.

Her gowns are effortless, chic and F-I-E-R-C-E!
