Last week, WWD took my breath away by putting this Oscar de la Renta bridal gown on its cover. Imagine the reaction you’d get walking down the aisle in that! Fabulous. I’d love to design a matching engagement ring or wedding band. Follow Oscar de la Renta’s Twitter feed at @OscarPRGirl.

My gorgeous friends Jen and Kevin are getting married today! I’m so excited for them. I had the pleasure of creating their custom wedding bands. Jen requested something wider than the typical band, and Kevin wanted a Celtic/tribal feel. I was happy that they each chose a design that suits their individual style. Some couples [...]

Last week, I mentioned that at my 2001 wedding, I changed out of my Richard Tyler wedding gown and into a custom-made white leather halter top and hip-huggers. A few of you requested pictures. Here they are. I thought I was being pretty edgy with the leather at the time, but the gown is so [...]

Stop by her blog to leave your best wishes, but not your congratulations. Traditionally, you say “Congratulations” to the groom because he’s managed to find a woman who [...]
