Is it really that easy?
December 19, 2010
Once again, simply because it comes up so often, I want to talk about “Say Yes to the Dress.” In so many appointments when we get on the subject of watching that show, lots of women seem astonished by the fact that the girls on the show seem to try on four or five dresses and find [...]

Congratulations! You found your wedding gown! Now, you just have to wait for it to come in and you’re done, right? Well…unless you have ordered a custom sized gown…wrong, you aren’t done yet.

Portland. The loft provides a bride and her fiancé a one stop shop for their planning needs. For the [...]
You don’t have to cross the pond to find the perfect honeymoon…

When planning a wedding, many couples go through the great honeymoon debate. Where to go? When is it best to leave? How far away should you travel?

Thinking outside the box….
November 16, 2010
Like many other people out there, I’ve had quite a few friends get married over the last few months. Being the Facebook stalker that I am, I’ve ruthlessly raided their pictures because my friends are creative and have really cool ideas! These are some things that I love, haven’t seen before, or are cool new [...]
Pasty-white skin????? No problem!
November 13, 2010
This month’s blog is about pasty-white skin! Well, sort of… I recently had the opportunity to go to Event Cosmetics at the Bridal Loft to have my makeup done. I was a bit worried because I have such a difficult time finding foundation and concealer that match my skin tone. I am very pale, but [...]
Wedding cakes for gluten-free and dietary restricted brides…
November 10, 2010
This month has been an interesting one for me. About two weeks ago I found out that I’m “sensitive” (or allergic) to wheat, gluten, eggs and dairy. WHAT?! That’s exactly how I felt…how am I supposed to eat anything? Everything seems to have one of those four elements in it… One of the huge benefits [...]

Happy Mediums
October 18, 2010
I was surfing the net for inspiration on what to write on this month. I’d hoped that just randomly Googling “weddings” would pull up something that sparked some ideas in my head. As usual, the World-Wide Web did not disappoint! In Wikipedia’s page on the evolution of the wedding gown and differences in priorities of [...]
