apologies!

apologies for being away so long... wedding plans have been away from my mind as my father was diagnosed in August with a malignant brain tumour (glioblastoma multiforme)... :(

I've been busy flying between the US and Australia non-stop, and living in a constant state of jet-lag and tears.

However, I will try and update regularly again, now that things are a bit more calm...

some more dress ideas!

those who are following my blog-world know that i'm on a quest for the PERFECT dress. :) aren't all girls? :P well, my specifications are a bit different as I know for a fact that I do NOT want strapless. That seriously eliminates about 3/4 of the hottest dresses out there... hopefully some of the photos i've posted (and will continue to post) will help the non-strapless brides out! enjoy!

Damask Fever

Photobucket


Well, it is official. The hottest trend this season appears to be Damask. I've been seeing tons and tons of the black and white pattern. I personally love it with bright green or yellow as an accent! Here are some ideas (by popular request, thank you dear readers!). I will continue to post diff't Damask ideas when I come across them. Enjoy!

There are many diff't Damask patterns. Here are a few I've collected.
