Funny. I just finished an extensive search helping my best friend find her — my — bridesmaid dresses. She put me in charge because, well, you know why. We just found them! We're going with J.Crew's silk taffeta cocktail dresses, but had timing been different, I may have suggested Lela Rose. The American designer of super femme, city-savvy clothes is delving into the bridesmaid market. Nary a pastel or petticoat in sight, Lela's dresses will come in jewel tone hues and modern silhouettes. One example is a crinkle chiffon dress with rosette details inspired by the First Daughter’s bridesmaids’ dresses. Shorter dresses will be $300 and the maximum will be $450 for full-length gowns. Also, Rose will continue her partnership with Payless and launch "The Unforgettable Moments by Lela Rose" dyeable shoe collection in December.

The Honeymoon's Over: How to Organize Your New Couple's Closet

FabSugar — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 15:00:22 -0700

If you're a traditional gal, chances are you won't move in with your husband-to-be until he is, well, your husband. Sorry to burst your love bubble, but living together means sharing a closet — gasp! For any gal who is overly protective of her clothes (present), this reality is downright scary. But don't reconsider your commitment now; I've got some solutions to ease your closet-sharing fears.

Since you'll probably be moving your clothes into a new closet, it's the ideal time to get rid of stuff you haven't worn in over a year. Honestly, if you haven't worn it in that long, you probably won't wear it again. Plus, even more reason to buy new stuff!
There's nothing like hanging your lovely clothes on pretty and scented hangers. Buy a bunch and you'll keep your section of the closet ultra feminine.
You can barely count how many handbags you own. It's OK — that's why buying a hanging purse organizer is useful. If your husband finds your purses lying on the floor, he won't get that you and your bags are inseparable. And if that happens, you won't be able to defend yourself when buy that new bag to have.

FABTV: Guns 'n' Roses "Sweet Child O'Mine"

FabSugar — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 12:22:22 -0700

When I think of the songs that would make up the soundtrack of my life, this is most definitely one of them. Yes, it's one of the most played out karaoke songs but, I'm sorry, you can never play this song out. It's a rock n' roll romance masterpiece. All this wedding talk and I wanted to shake things up with a song that manages to be both sweet and saucy. Axl wrote the song about then wife Erin Everly (lucky b*tch) and it jolted everybody. It was — still is — an international hit. The video is classic GNR with snippets of the band performing and hanging out; and Axl exhibiting his snakey swagger we all know and love. Here's to love and rock 'n' roll!

A Fab Wedding in Zihuatanejo, Mexico

FabSugar — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 15:00:22 -0700

I recently experienced my first destination wedding. And I don’t think any of my other friends' weddings will compare (sorry!). I was invited by the sister of the groom and it was in fun-but-hard-to-pronounce Zihuajanetejo, Mexico. The bride and groom chose this particular destination because they felt it's Mexico's best kept secret; they love the tropical surroundings and the quaint feel of the town. The closest friends, myself included, all stayed at this amazing house that the ceremony and party took place at as well. Cabin fever? No way, no how. The house can best be described as a luxurious tree house; everything was made out of wood, it spanned a whole cliff, hammocks and open air abound and an infinity pool overlooked the bay. It was, to say the least, fabulous.

Who: Pamela & Colin
Where: The Tree House, Zihuajanetejo, Mexico
When: May 2, 2008
What the bride wore: Sue Wong gown, Rene Caovilla shoes (the splurge) and her salsa after party dress was BCBG
What the bridesmaids wore: One wore a Nicole Miller dress and they both changed into Victoria's Secret dresses for the salsa after party. They swapped wearing orange and green for the reception then the party (cute idea, huh?)
What Fab wore: Check me and my friend out
Where to next for Pamela & Colin: Greece

The intimate ceremony of about 30 people was cozy and comfortable. Since the bride and groom come from mixed ethnic backgrounds they celebrated the union of all the cultures. It was such a site to witness overlooking the beautiful Mexican bay.

A Fab Wedding in Sonoma, CA

FabSugar — Tue, 27 May 2008 15:00:22 -0700

We've been talking weddings for the past few months and the time has come for the big day to finally happen. It's a lot of planning, emotions, and stress but every wedding I've gone to has always been special and fun — two things I will strive to make mine. We thought it would be fun to show you some real-life weddings this week so up first is a wedding I attended last month in Sonoma, CA.

The bride, Stefanie, and I went to high school together so it was really cool to witness her tying the knot. The super-cute couple lives in San Diego so their wedding had to be in nature. It turned out to be the perfect warm and breezy day at the Sebastiani Winery where their ceremony and reception took place. Here are the romantic (and fashion) details:

Who: Stefanie & Craig
Where: Sebastiani Winery, Sonoma, CA
When: April 27, 2008
What the bride wore: Lazaro gown, Stuart Weitzman shoes (gift), veil handmade by a bridemaid's mom
What the bridesmaids wore: Champagne-colored dresses by Banana Republic, gold metallic shoes
What was Fab: The winery ambiance outside and in, the bow on the side of the bride's dress and the lily in her hair, the tear-jerker vows, the barrel-surrounded dinner room, the bride and groom's saucy dance moves, the steak, the dessert table, and the endless pour of wine, of course.

How very Kate Moss of Kate Moss to wear all black at her white wedding. Don't panic — she didn't run off and marry boyfriend Jamie Hince.

To celebrate the launch of Kate Moss for Agent Provocateur Bridal — because you know there's always a celebration — Kate and her posse partied the evening away at Milk Studios in NYC. Fabulous guests in attendance included Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Lake Bell, and Byrdie Bell (no relation). Several neon signs, including one behind the bar that screamed "Let Them Eat Kate," made it very clear who the party was in honor of . . . the bride in black, of course!

I was hoping to see a more amorous side of Kate but I can't deny that she still looks Fab despite the blood and gore. Is this what you expected to see from Kate?

Freaky or Fabulous? Alana Savoir Feather-Infested Bride

FabSugar — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 10:00:22 -0700

When I think of feathers on a wedding dress, the last image that comes to mind is that of Alana Savoir's creation at Mexico Fashion Week. Feathers are supposed to lend delicateness but in this case, they have provided extreme harshness. The dress is a bit too busy in my opinion, but what really drowns the look is the feather headpiece; it reminds me of George Washington's colonial hairstyle. And as if there weren't enough feathers on the look, the model is carrying a peacock feather. Unnecessary, right? This is 100 percent freaky. Tell me you agree!

I've said it once and I'll say it again: I would consider a short wedding dress. I'm an unconventional gal and a more cocktail-inspired wedding dress is an idea I've been flirting with since, well, I started bringing you wedding eye candy. Not many women seem to take the plunge and go for the short stuff, however, some of you would consider it. Maybe this adorable retro beauty by Oscar de la Renta can help sway you. Any takers? I do!

Come Fab Finding With Me: Glitzy Black Tie Wedding

FabSugar — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 09:00:22 -0700

Black tie weddings are so much fun. It's a Fab chance to get fancied up and walk arm in arm with a man in a tux. Sexy! Date or not, it's imperative that you dress the part. Black tie weddings call for long gowns or dressy separates. Think of it as getting dolled up for the Oscars . . . minus the red carpet and the mini gold man. And the celebs!
I'll start you off with this Prada Gathered Satin Clutch ($695) because the satin rosettes are sure to make you an instant hit.

Let's go Fab Finding! Be sure to come back and tell me your Fab Finds are up, or just tag your Fab Finds with black tie wedding.

Reem Acra Spring 2009 Bridal Collection

FabSugar — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 14:00:22 -0700

Reem Acra's latest bridal collection offered a colorful and whimsical alternative to the traditional white wedding. Arcra divulged, "It's about the future. What's going to happen to my dresses? The young girls are going to go into their mother's closet and play with them. It's about having fun!"

And that she did with her models placed in storybook settings with musings of playing dress-up and having tea parties. Vibrant gingham and floral patterns were layered on top of the white dresses evoking a colorful and fun point of view. Acra's bold and refreshing take on the classic wedding dress was simply rejuvenating and quite fabulous.

The site will showcase her signature bridal gowns, product galleries, and Faboo video segments of Wang herself offering wedding tips and advice.
