Cinco De Mayo Wedding Inspiration

Ready for some Mexican Style Cinco De Mayo wedding inspiration? Well, I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and a Happy Cinco De Mayo. In light of yesterday being Cinco de Mayo I decided to posted inspiration and looks to go with the theme. Because honestly I like to party in style and don’t want Cinco de Mayo to end just yet. What’s even greater about this idea is that you can weave in your culture on your special day. Which, is such a beautiful thing! Well I hope you enjoy my Cinco de Mayo wedding inspirations. Until next time!

Enchanted Romance

My Story about meeting Claire Pettibone:

So last week I went to the Otis Jury Show to be a judge. While there I was able to view the students work and see the mentor directions they were given (This is because I am fashion Design Alum now). One particular collection I was more than excited to see was the Claire Pettibone mentorship collection. Let me just tell you I LOVED the entire collection!

While there one of the senior teachers over heard me saying I wished I had her as a mentor (last year) when I was in school because I’ve always wanted to be a bridal designer. (But what teacher of mine didn’t know that? tehehe) She said, “Have you met her?” “Go introduce yourself!” I said “but what do I say?” For once in my life I was speechless and was at a loss for words (which never happens). Then I Told the teacher that I had sent my résumé to her already and had not heard anything (I don’t want to look like a creeper). The teacher replied, “then introduce yourself and tell her you’re the one that sent in your résumé.” So I walked over to Claire. It seemed like one of those moments when you see the door in a movie and the hallway to the door seems to get longer and longer. With my legs wobbly and sweating like there was no tomorrow from being so nervous, I went up to Claire and introduced myself. I spoke to her for a short while. Not long because I was so nervous I didn’t know what to say.

Now let me back track a little bit. You see I had been looking up to Claire as an inspiration when I kept pinning her wedding gowns on my pinterest boards. So I went to her bio page (I like to see where designers started) and saw she graduated from Otis. I also remembered her dress was worn by Pricilla Chan (Wife to the facebook mogul). I remember being so excited to see an alum doing bridal. It gave me so much hope that one day I could also be a bridal designer. Since it’s the only thing I’ve ever wanted to be since I was 16 – 17ish.

So back to introducing myself so I didn’t do a good job because I was a huge dork. Remember this is someone I’ve looked up to. I felt like I was a little six year old again looking up to this person that is everything I’ve ever wanted to be. So after a quick exchange of talking I went back over to the senior teacher and was like OH MY GOSH I WAS SOO NERVOUS! I think I had sweat off all my deodorant tehehehe. So in honor of meeting Claire and being nervous (and be a complete dork) I thought I would post a few of my favorite wedding gowns of hers on my blog. Trust me I would put them all up if I could. What do you think of her AMAZING wedding gowns? Which one is your favorite?

Spring and Falls Beauty

Have you ever seen Reem Acra wedding gowns? Here are just some of my picks from her spring and fall 2013 collections. The first few are from her spring and then it goes into her fall collection. I have one word for these gowns amazing. However, I could not just include her wedding gowns but also included a fun short reception gown. It seems the two dress trend is still going strong ladies. We can see that from her spring collection especially so into her fall collection. And what girl wouldn’t want two dresses for here wedding day. It seems like most brides want tradition for the ceremony. Then they want to enjoy themselves more with a more laid back movable dress that allows them to enjoy their reception with more ease.

I love that this designer is giving both the option of the traditional and the fun and flirty shorter reception dress. And I don’t even have to mention how beautiful her gowns are with the laces she uses and the beading detail. Let me know which dresses here are your favorite? And make sure to check out the the entire collection and here site.

Spring Collection 2013

These illusion necklines with their beading detail are just so incredibly pretty. I love the light airy romantic feel of her spring line.

Fall Collection 2013

Her fall line has heavier embroidery that is bolder with a mix of longer sleeves and heavier fabrics. Either way I love the more regal feelings of this collection.

And of course I saved the best for last! This gown has to be by far one of my favorites. The heavy lace, peplum, mermaid silhouette, higher neckline and long sleeves are a breathtaking combination.
