The Bridal Expo Cornwall 2009

The Bridal Expo is a unique concept in Cornwall. The show is geared at the modern bride; but who is the "modern bride" anyway?

Well... here are a few tips for recognizing her: The modern bride is the bride who is taking control of her wedding (instead of handing the reigns over to her mother or mother-in-law); the modern bride is a do-it-yourselfer and has her hands in at least one creative project for her wedding; the modern bride is budget-conscious because she works and she's contributing a big chunk of her own money into her wedding; and the modern bride doesn't have time to mess around - she wants the best of everything she can afford and she has little time to find it all.

Do any of these descriptions sound like you?

This show is geared at helping brides set a path for their wedding to create the best possible event that they can with the resources at their disposal. The show boasts a roster of the Cornwall's top wedding vendors who you can interview and book at your leisure (this will cut back on much of the research time you would have spent on your wedding). But this isn't where the show is unique - the show is truly unique in it's presentations and seminars. This is where you'll have a chance to learn a bit of DIY info to really put you in the best possible shape to take on the planning ahead.

So keep your calendar open for Sunday, November 8 and ask a friend to keep her day free as well (or hey, you could take your fiance). Doors open at 12-noon.

Unique Engagement Rings

If you type "engagement ring" into Google you're going to wind up with hundreds of pages containing image after image of beautiful diamond rings. But maybe you're not a diamond-kinda-girl? Maybe you're looking for something special? Something unique? Something a little more... you?

If that's the case, I've got just the thing to get you started! I've selected a handful of beautiful engagement rings that are absolutely stunning but that contain something other than clear white diamonds as their focal point.

I love these pearl engagement rings.

Another great option is to go with a coloured diamond or a different precious gem (the black diamonds are really stunning!).

These wooden engagement rings are my new favourite find! They are absolutely beautiful and, if you go about it the right way, they would serve as an appropriate eco-friendly touch as well.

Okay, this one is a bit of a cheater because it does have a diamond in it... but it's still very unique!

These rings are fabulous! The man's ring has a piece of wood where the gem would traditionally be placed.

Hope that gets the wheels turning! Now go out there and find your perfect ring!

Cheers,

Sophie

Fabulous Bridal Shoes

While browsing some of my favourite blogs today I came across a post on Luxurious Weddings Style Report called Red is the Rebel Bridal Shoe.

Shoes?! I LOVE SHOES!!!

I also love colour... and there's nothing I love more than seeing a bride in a gorgeous coloured gown. It's bold and edgy but some brides aren't ready to make the leap to non-white or ivory bridal gown. So why not spice up your bridal look with a pair of boldly coloured shoes instead? Make your shoes your "something blue" or "go green with a stylish pair of emerald heals. Or be super sexy with a set of fiery red stilettos.
