Wedding gowns: Aire Barcelona 2011 Collection

I must admit, the first thing that caught my attention to Aire Barcelona was Penelope Cruz. Isn't she such a doll?

But if you click through their 2011 Bridal Collection, you'll fall in love with the gowns. I like the fact that they offer styles that suit the different tastes of brides-to-be. So whether you're classic or modern, you'll surely find a design that you'll adore to bits.

Colored wedding shoes, part 2

Forgive me for not having updated this blog for some time. I've been really, really busy. Had a lot of things on my plate, and they took away my blogging time. But anyhoo...

I had fun looking at the colored wedding shoes I featured earlier, so here I am giving you another set of photos featuring brides wearing non-white footwear for their wedding. Check them out and find inspiration:

Aside from giving your wedding attire some pizzazz, they make great wedding photography subjects, too. If you dare to be different, going for colored wedding shoes is one thing you can do.

Going for colored wedding shoes

Traditional brides would go for an all-white ensemble, from head to foot. But nowadays more and more brides are spicing up their big day fashion by wearing colored things that serve as accents to the wedding dress. One of these that many ladies are picking up is the colored wedding shoes.

Yep, wedding shoes need not be white these days. Going for colored footwear gives more pizzazz. If your bridal style veers away from the classic, this is one suggestion you should keep in mind.

Here are some examples of brides that wore colored footwear for their wedding day:

Don't they look gorgeous? So if you're feeling adventurous, why not try wearing non-white shoes and footwear? They serve as pretty accents to your white dress and really makes you stand out.

Inspiration board - Purple and Yellow

For this inspiration board, I chose to play with purple and yellow. I noticed that I've only made a handful boards that had purple in it. And yellow seems to offer a nice contrast to it. The combination looks great for any kind of wedding, probably something on the classic side but with a little twist to it. Check it out and hope it gets you inspired:
