Fashion Friday: The Victorian Era

If there was one standout look featured on the runway this season, it was a return to the roots of the Victorian era.  Several designers incorporated Victorian era elements into their gown and we could not be more in love with this throwback.  Reinvented high necklines, tatted lace and off the shoulder looks modernized this fashion forward era for brides today. Find more looks by the designers below at M Bride Salon and The Dress Theory!

Fashion Friday: Partial Overlay

Another hot trend that was all over the runway this season gave tulle a new makeover.  The partial tulle overlay look gives versatility to a gown with layers.  Go with a thin overskirt or a thick cut peplum style.  If you love the fit style, but also adore a traditional ball gown, a silhouette with an overlay is a happy medium between the two.  Find more gowns by the designers below at Mon Amie Bridal Salon and M Bride Salon.

Mangia Monday: Early Summer Salad

While it's easy to opt for a steak or lobster dinner for your reception dinner, why not try going for a fresh, veggie friendly plate? Check out this brand new dish by Continental Catering that is not only delicious, but promotes a healthy lifestyle.  This Early Summer Salad is a mixture of hearts of palm, israeli couscous, asparagus, dates and currants on a bed of baby lettuce, plated with herb goat cheese and a tahini vinaigrette. This salad gives a rack of lamb a run for its money with its fresh taste and extra health benefits.
