Post Holiday Get---

Definitely a day to GET:

• Get back into the groove after a holiday weekend
• Get used to the return of warmer temps
• Get ready for the upcoming wedding show at the Doubletree out in Chesterfield
• Get to the grocery store (oh wait........... that is another list!!!)

Did you check out the beautiful gowns on the voting block for the Today wedding? They are all really, really lovely. Fresh, clean, interesting, modern---- yummy. GET on over there and check them out, and vote of course! They do bring to mind the dilemma that comes from not only matching the personality of a bride, the style of her wedding overall, but also the body type of the bride as well. It is often thought that the hardest body type to "bride up" is the bride past a size 16 but that is not entirely true. The winning Today bride has the opposite problem, of being quite petite combined with an athletic build. All of the dresses chosen for her are wonderfully complementary. After all we remember, the bride should wear the dress and not the other way around.

I'm a huge Anne Barge devotee, her bridal couture is gorgeous. We were all excited to see one of her gowns as part of the collection to be considered for the upcoming morning television wedding. Her design for the Today bride, Leigh, is from her La Fleur collection. You can see more of her truly beautiful work at AnneBarge.com. How can you not find enchanting a bridal gown designer who grew up knowing this was her destiny----- not to mention hailing from the Buck*head area of Atlanta? Her lovely gown won the special gown for the 2003 Today Show Wedding, our fingers are crossed that her incredibly seamed and detailed, pocketed wedding gown will win again this year. Yes, we GET the Anne Barge bridal collection!

Now, get back to it!
