Do you have enough flowers for your wedding? I think not....

I have been meaning to post some pics since early November. I know, we have been slackers. This is from a wedding from October 27th. I have never imagined St. Peter Prince of the Apostles would look like this. Makes me want to get married all over again. Side note: The bride wore a pair of gold weaved smokin hot Christian Louboutins under her dress...aaah, a girl with some style. I have talked about such things before, here.

Floral: David Kurio

BTW: I personally think David Kurio is the best florist on the planet...and I have been blessed to have worked with Christian Tortu of France and the fabulous Preston Bailey.

David Kurio...the.best.

Make Up tip for your wedding day

I always recommend that hair and makeup are completed by a professional. I also always suggest that you not stray from your "natural" look too much.


However, I always suggest a few additional eyelashes. How HOT is this bride?

Christian Louboutin shoes....Must See Oprah Tuesday!

This is not wedding related, but I have two pairs of Christian Louboutin shoes I purchased just for weddings. Besides, who doesn't love these. I have been pretty much Louboutin exclusive since 2006, but wearing since 2005. Here a few pictures of some of my shoes that I could scrounge on the net.

My newest purchase, on sale too!

Pleated bootie

These are about a year old and also purchased the red patent one. Cork Bruges.

The Madison Boot, another new addition, currently on sale at net-a-porter, hurry, Louboutins don't last long once on sale.

the Josephine Shoe, from Fall 06 collection. These are HOT!

These went with my dress I wore to a fancy Parisan wedding this past summer
I also picked up a pink pair while I was there.

My current favorite for dress up, the Crepe Mouche Pump.

THe glitter prive, picked out just for my baby brother's wedding this past November.

I think a colored Christian Louboutin shoes under a wedding dress would be hot. Take a look at this picture. I don't know this bride and I think these are Nine West shoes. Her wedding was photographed by Anne Marie Photography. This is a link to the photographer's blog with pictures from her wedding. She did a great job planning, those green details are incredible.

Regal Affair Boutique....coming soon

We have been working so very hard for the past 6 months on various merchandising ventures. Here is a sneak peek (a very small sampling) of some products for sale. We have tried to pick items that are useful as small gifts. These pictures are from our "bling" section. Look for the boutique website to go live by the end of August.
