CONGRATULATIONS to……

EbonStarr
“My favourite project so far was the veil,
which I made with pink satin edging to match the dress.

Kim
“We are getting married in June 2010 and the whole wedding is pretty much DIY. Our invitations were all handmade by myself and mother in law to be. Our center pieces are all handmade, right down to the embossed labels wrapped around the candles for the center pieces. We are even having the bridesmaids dresses handmade by my mother in law to be…she’s pretty amazing. I tell people that the day I got engaged I gained a fiance, a beautiful ring and a wedding planner LOL”

BEL (And Stanley Makes Three)
“We’re going to do a lot of DIY – I hope! Invites, programs, menus, wine labels, purses for my girls, gifts for our parents, etc.!”

CHOCOLATE LOVER!!!!

who said “Ashley” is her favourite style.

(the proof the draw was random)

Congratulations Chocolate Lover! I’ve passed along your email to Barbara and she will be contacting you shortly.

Thank you to everyone who entered contest, blogged/tweeted/facebooked about it. Both Barbara and I were overwhelmed by the number of entries (73 in total). You guys rock! A big thank you to Barbara for sponsoring the contest.

For those of you who didn’t win, remember you can purchase a personalized calligraphy rubber stamp from Barbara.

Rubber Stamps (like the one pictured above) are $39.00
Self-Inking Stamps are $49.00

I myself bought the rubber stamp one as I wanted to play with different coloured ink pads but for those of you who will be using your stamp a lot (like to stamp 200 response envelopes), you might want to consider the self-inking stamp. And don’t forget, Barbara is currently offering 10% discount for those who place their stamp order by or on November 30 . Just mention my blog or the S tamp Yourself Happy Giveaway when you place your order. A stamp would make a perfect gift for any occasion!

Barbara ‘s 10% discount offer also applies to her services. Please visit Barbara Kua Calligraphy to learn more about Barbara’s calligraphy services.

2010 Wedding Gown Trends

Bridesmaid — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:48:47 +0000

Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend. I know I’m a tad late on posting this but here are my favourites from NYC Bridal Market. I’ve grouped them by ‘trends.’ Let me know what you think!

All photos are from Brides.com.

Colour Infusion

Black seems to be the “colour du jour.” Even black ribbon sashes adorned Vera Wang’s dresses (see below). I am loving the red dress below. Bold, bright and elegant – perfect for a bride paying respects to her Asian heritage.

Showing Off the Shoulders

Off the shoulder, one shoulder, 2010 seems to be about showing them off!

(l) Carolina Herrera (r) Maggie Sottero

Fabric Mix-it-Up

I’m loving this ‘woven in ribbon’ (sorry, I have no idea what the proper term is!) look in both the Carlina Herrara and Anne Barge dresses below.

Feathers and lace are still popular.
