Stylish Celebrity Wedding: Elizabeth and Arun

March 3, 2007
Elizabeth Hurley and Arun Nayar get married.

Sonia Rykiel Is Chic

She's French, got her start by crafting a fashionable maternity dress for herself, once wrote an erotic novel (along with a children's book), sells sex toys at some of her stores, and creates incredibly dreamy clothes...who is she? The incredible Sonia Rykiel! Here are some heavenly looks from her Spring 08 collection that would make amazing wedding dresses. It gives me the feel of a bride rushing to the altar with a blushed excitement in her cheeks, making an exuberant entrance. Check out more of her styles here.

Picture Perfect

Many couples go for a photo session to capture that newly-engaged glow on film. Sometimes the photo is for the local newspaper, or it's a keepsake for the happy couple or your families. But what about a portrait? This Chicago artist will take one of your photos and make a custom drawing. It's perfect for framing or you can even have her design it as a wedding invite or save the date. Love it!

Check out her designs and options on her Etsy page.

Kitty Chen Is Chic

Not only is she adorable, but 30 year-old designer Kitty Chen makes charming dresses that you (and your groom) will fall in love with. The details on this Brier Rose gown offer a vintage feel and the lace and chiffon on the cap sleeves are straight from a fairy tale.

Check out more of her designs on her website, KittyChenCouture.com.

Mintee Fresh

I just discovered a new designer named Mintee Kalra. She used to work for Alexander McQueen, but she started her own eponymous line, Mintee, and it's divine! These dresses would be amazing for three bridesmaids at a Springtime wedding.

Inviting Invites

Shopping for wedding invitations is a daunting task. If you head to a stationary shop, there are far too many to choose from, so you should go in with a direction. Want flowers? Love shapes? Prefer a clean modern design? How many color combos? What kind of fonts do you like?

I've seen more invites than I care to admit and what's funny is that my hubby-to-be and I went with our first choice. Colossal waste of time? No way! I can share them with you.

These unique designs found on EvaPaul's site on Etsy are refreshingly different. The crossword puzzle look is sweet and I love how the designers really had fun with typography.

Fashion Week: Zac! Reem! Vera!

Above: Vera Wang showed great draping and drop-waisted dresses.

Dreamy silhouettes on willowy bodies graced Bryant Park. With Fashion Week coming to an end, these designers had some impressive standouts.

Hey Shorty

Who said wedding dresses had to be long? All found on Priscilla of Boston (top dress by Melissa Sweet, rest by POB), these minis don't have to be preserved after the ceremony—wear them again and again.

Tiny Petals

Asclepias, better known as milkweed, are small and delicate blooms that can make a big impact on a bouquet.

Pucker Up For Pink

Fashion Week isn't just about the fashion. So much goes into the makeup looks on the models, and for the Thakoon show, the desired look was minimal with sun-kissed cheeks and sweet pink lips. Lancome's newest color, Color Fever Shine Lipstick in Pixel Pink (now on lancome-usa.com and in stores in March), was created specifically for the Thakoon show with makeup artist Gucci Westman. It's a deliciously sheer raspberry, perfect for a Springtime wedding.

Beautiful Makeup: Backstage At Marchesa

Stila Cosmetics supplied the makeup looks for the Marchesa show, and as much as I loved the dresses, the makeup was just as well done. Star makeup artist Talia Shobrook took Marchesa's inspiration of Elizabethan and Spanish style to give models angelic faces. The look is great for your wedding day!

For Skin: Go matte and pale with Stila Sheer Pressed Powder, then use Perfecting Concealer on any trouble spots.

For Eyes: Neutral-toned smoky eyes are accented with super long lashes and dramatic brows. Use Stila Eye Shadow in Chinois for brow bones, and Bouquet and Kamet to the crease of eyelids and bottom lash line. Line your lower, outer rim with Kajal Liner in Smoky Quartz. Go heavy with Major Lash Mascara in brown and apply the same in black to tips for added effect. Fill in brows with Brow Set.

For Cheeks: Flush apples of cheeks with Cherry Crush Lip and Cheek Stain. Blend well for only a hint of color.

For Lips: Go shiny on your kisser to contrast with matte skin. Use Cherry Crush Lip and Cheek Stain again, but place directly on lips and top with SPF Lipstick in Caicos.

Super pretty!

Fashion Week: Marchesa

Marchesa's showing at Fashion Week was delightfully gorgeous. The last dress in this post takes my breath away.

Love Is In The Air

With Valentine's Day fast approaching, there's no doubt men all over the world will be popping the question. I've been engaged since October, so this Valentine's Day is much sweeter for me, and this year is not only the year I will be getting hitched, but I have three other weddings to attend as well. Love is all around. I was checking out the indie designer site Etsy and found some really chic items great to make Cupid's holiday one to remember if you are tying the knot soon.

MissPinProductions' Bunnies Of Love is so adorable! It would be sweet for a guy to present when asking their girl to marry them. If you're already engaged, it's a super cute gift to place next to sink for when you are washing your hands or need a spot to hold your ring. (Not safe if you have crazy cats like mine that will eat anything, though.)

The Bride and Groom pins by ButtonEmpire could be a great addition to your bag or jacket. How adorable would it be for the guy to boast this pin just before proposing with the ring in one hand and the Bride pin in the other? Makes a great gift for those soon-to-be hitched, too.

Wouldn't this saying on the Zombie card from TinaSeamonster be sweet as part of your vows? OK...maybe not, but perhaps during the toast to your bride or groom? It really says "I'll do anything for you, baby!"
