It’s remarkable how quickly grooms are able to make decisions when it comes to their own wedding attire and accessories. Such confidence. And then the day comes, and it’s time to tie that bowtie….. Looking good, David. Cheers.

I’ve been thinking about Women’s History Month and the many fabulous women who broke the ceilings above so we can vote, have equal pay for equal work (when is that actually going to be equal?), our right to choose and so many other things that my daughter will benefit from. I acknowledge them all with grateful awe. I started to think about other women in other arenas of the female experience. Books. Fashion. Art. So, on this month just for us […]

You will see them trending this year. The answer to a bustling bustle. A removable train. 2015 is the year of the wedding cape. Actually, their history begins with ancient African tribal capes which were worn during the wedding ceremony and for a short while after the ceremony to show respect (or hlonipa) for the in-laws. I love them. Capes make you feel powerful, sexy and mysterious in the most interesting way. No wonder royalty wore them (not to mention fairy tale […]

Queen Elizabeth I was the first person to make long gloves fashionable and a status symbol in the 16th Century. Today, they are still a symbol of formality, femininity and fashion, not to mention affluence. Opera gloves are also a stylish and clever way to disguise overly thin arms, which might have been another reason for the accessory in this case. Another historical fact, my […]

So you’re engaged. Congratulations. After the dust settles on your Instagram and Facebook accounts, get ready to start fielding questions about who’s on the guest list, where you’re getting married and when. As you begin to plan, a few things to keep in mind: 1. As Steve Jobs so eloquently put it, “Don’t let the opinions of others drown out your own inner voice.” Friends and family will have lots of advice and opinions. Don’t allow your wedding to become […]

Saptapadi (The Seven Sacred Steps) is my favorite part of a Hindu wedding. It has so much depth, purpose and meaning. The couple takes seven steps together, with each step taking a sacred vow: 1. Together we will live with respect for one another. 2. Together we will develop mental, physical and spiritual balance. 3. Together we will prosper, acquire wealth and share our accomplishments. 4. Together we will acquire happiness, harmony and knowledge through mutual love. 5. Together we […]
