This Week's Fashionable Weddings

Everyone loves a wedding, or so they say. I actually find weddings rather boring. A cookie cutter ceremony, cheaply dressed bridal party, and bland reception food do not make an exciting event. However, I do enjoy thumbing through bridal magazines and oohing over weddings where the budget must rival the revenue of a small country. This past week saw a smattering of celebrity weddings.

America Ferrera


As June dwindled to a close, the former Ugly Betty star tied the knot to her longtime boyfriend. Besides the smiling faces, the most important detail of this picture is the dress by Amsale's Christos label.

Kate Moss


The super model wore a custom wedding gown by John Galliano. Not exactly a groundbreaking fashion moment but very pretty.


Charlene Wittstock


This year's other royal wedding happened in Monaco. Despite rumors that the future princess tried to escape just days before the wedding, the ceremonies took place with all the pomp and circumstance as if nothing had happened. I really doubt the rumors are true. The couple had been dating for several years, so surely, she knew what she was getting into when she accepted his proposal. Of course, if the rumors are true, it must be dreadful to be held captive in a foreign country where they have made you their princess...

For the civil ceremony, the new princess wore a robin's egg blue, Chanel pantsuit. Later that day, she wore a seafoam gown to the celebratory concert.


The next day was the big wedding ceremony where the bride wore an off-the-shoulder Giorgio Armani gown, which took 2,500 hours to make.



For the gala dinner, the bride wore an Armani Prive cocktail dress, which I think is my favorite look from the weekend's festivities.

What do you think of celebrity weddings?

Prom, Wedding, Graduation Oh My!

I'm finding it hard to believe that it is already April. Suddenly it's time to shop for the perfect dress to wear to prom, graduation, best friend's wedding, etc. Cocktail dresses are popping up all over the place for prom with blues and other soothing colors leading the way. While I think a short prom dress is a bit anti-climatic, a cocktail dress does make it easier to dance and you can wear it again instead of stuffing it in the back of your closet...
