A wedding is an important day in every woman’s life. It is a day that happens only once and most will remember that day forever in their lives. A big part of the wedding process is choosing the perfect wedding dress. Many hours and days are spent into finding the perfect color, design, and fit. There are several things to consider when buying you a wedding dress. The first factor to consider is the location of the wedding. If the wedding will take place in a religious and traditional setting such as a church, it is best to avoid casual dresses or something that may be too liberal. A great dress to wear to a church is a wedding dress with sleeves and the length should be long enough to drape on the floor. This creates a “princess” wedding dress and is popular for women who want to have their wedding to be classy and timeless. On the other hand, there are many ways to wear a dress if the wedding is casual. For example, a casual wedding is one that is on the beach or in a garden. These environments are usually much more relaxed and it is ok to show a little more skin and dress a little less conservative. A great example of a beach wedding dress is a strapless dress that goes slightly below the knees. This is a very fun and young woman type of dress. Something else to consider is the body type of the bride who will be wearing the dress. A plus size woman should avoid wearing a dress that is not flattering to her body such as showing off upper body skin or wearing a dress that is too tight. Instead you need to find a dress style that is flattering to your strong points and hides the weak points. If you have nice legs, a dress that shows off the legs is a good place to start. On the other hand, a plus size woman who has big arms may not want to wear a sleeveless dress and instead go for a plus size wedding dress. There are many options for the big day when choosing a wedding dress. The best tip is to wear something that is comfortable and will keep you happy and not irritated. There are many styles to choose from, the best thing to do is find one that is going to bring out strong positive traits and hide the negative features. Remember to always have fun with the dress picking for the wedding.

Kate Middleton, the new Duchess of Cambridge, wore a gown designed by Sarah Burton, the Artistic Director at Alexander McQueen. Made of white and ivory satin gazar and designed to emulate an opening flower, the gown featured a lace-adorned bodice inspired by Victorian corsetry - a classic McQueen reference, a plunging neckline, long sleeves, and a train of more than nine cascading feet. A truly extraordinary lace was needed to exalt the dress, and in a symbolic nod to time-honoured traditions, Burton and the newest member of the monarchy chose Sophie Hallette, the renowned French company that has been making lace since 1887.

Camille Eddera is a French jeweler living between Los Angeles and Paris. Eddera, Camille’s stunning jewelry company, has designs worn by Victoria Beckham, Charlize Theron, Maria Sharapova and Sarah Jessica Parker, all women of great style. The stars even do something they seldom do when they discover Camille’s artistic jewelry. They pay for the pieces. And I can see why. “The headband I did by accident,” said Camille when talking about one of her top sellers. “A really good friend of mine is a celebrity hairstylist, and he said he liked my pieces. He wanted something to pin in the hair for awards shows. I came home and was playing with stuff, and I ended up getting carried away. Every time I would wear it, people would freak out. He liked it and took it on set, and Victoria Beckham bought them all.” “She’s very classy, I have to say,” she said of the stylish Beckham. “She sent me a letter to thank me. I kept showing the headbands at trade shows, and no one would buy them. Every time I would wear them, girls would ask me, take my number, even come to my house. I showed them twice before buyers actually bought them. Two seasons.” “Victoria wears them all the time now. Maria Sharapova, and a lot of other girls too. I blew all of my own money on these headbands and nobody would touch them. Really though, I just do what my girlfriends like.” Gorgeous and elegant are understatements. Eddera jewelry does just what you were hoping it would do. It elevates you. My own headband never came off for the entire week after I acquired it. Strangers stopped me in the street to compliment me. I was cutting lines, given preferential treatment, and I was adored. I was truly loving it. “They’re really great, even with t-shirt and jeans,” said Camille. “They’re decoration for your beautiful face. The more hair you have, the prettier it looks.” The inspiration for Eddera's first creations was a garden at night, both magical and ethereal. A place which can be simply breathtaking, which is maybe why Camille is one of the few jewelers sold at famously chic style stalwart Colette. “The snake,” she said, when I asked about her ring, “I made when I was in jewelry school, but I wear it all the time. People really like snakes, so I think I’m going to bring more in. ” Each piece is individually handmade, and many use original vintage elements found in Paris. Some necklaces or bracelets are only available in limited editions because they include certain chains and medallions that cannot be duplicated. “Most of the time I draw my jewelry in France. I make the mold over there and bring it back in my suitcase. I got the original lion at a flea market in Paris, and I made a mold. I bought it at this antique flea market that’s “the thing” in June in Paris,” said Camille. She’s also planning on venturing to other parts of the globe to bring in some other influences. “I’m going to India in March. They have great colors there, and I can’t wait to be inspired,” she said. “This season I’m doing a ton of colors,” she said of her current line. “I made a set of necklaces with ribbons that are hand-dyed. I wanted something that looked vintage, but I wanted color too. My last collection was metal, and I liked that a lot, but right now I feel ethnic and colors. The same vibe as what I do, but also brighter. I used hand-dyed silk, and the colors are really fun. After this rainy winter, I really want some color. And I can’t decide which one I’m going to wear, so that’s a good sign.” I don’t really follow what other people do, but I do need to really want to wear them myself.
