The photography of Chelsea Elizabeth continues to capture our hearts here at Ceremony. With the last of the Summer weddings coming to a close, I have one conclusion to share – summer brides truly possess an extra glow. Perhaps it’s the warm sunshine or the cheerful flowers of the season that accentuate the beauty of each bride, what ever it may be Chelsea Elizabeth possesses an eye for this glow. Whether working with an elegant-romantic, pretty-vintage or natural eco-friendly bride, she expresses the heart of each wedding and couple. Thank you Chelsea for preserving such beautiful moments time and time again!

One of Ceremony’s favorite bridal boutiques The White Flower in San Diego, offers a tasteful array of exclusive designers.  While perusing through their beautiful selection, one of their European designers caught my eye.  Known for creating gowns of elegance and comfort, Sassi Holford is a self-taught English designer.  Her hand made modern gowns can be found draping royalty, but doesn’t every bride deserve royal treatment on her day?

Glamour glittered on the red carpet at the 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards Sunday night. These stunning metallic showstoppers can certainly inspire Wedding Day fashion for not only a dramatic bride but also her entourage. Who says the Mother-of-the-Occassion has to look matronly? She too can sparkle on the special day!

You can’t have THOSE blues when planning such a stunning wedding, inspired by the shades of the Pacific Ocean and Ceremony’s sister blog, California Wedding Wave.com!

This party SHOULD be in So-Cal!

100 brides gathered Saturday June 20th in Russia’s Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk to commemorate marriage in a colorful parade of white, ruffles and lace!  Held in Moscow earlier in the month for the 8th time, the Parade of Brides was originally intended to promote family values and marriage in Russia and has been celebrated all month with similar parades in over 50 cities.  

What a FABULOUS way to experience your wedding (and wear your dress)…TWICE!

LA based photographer Mariano Lozano contributed this theatrical fashion shoot for the 2010 Orange County edition, shot at the historical Ebell of Los Angeles.  As a patron of all things dramatic , I wanted to share these stunning images shot onstage.

Truth be told, your wedding day definitely puts you on center stage.
