Wedding Website Nearing Launch

The Wedding website for Corvallis, Oregon is almost finished! I am so excited, this has been my baby for so many months now, I've been stealing time away from my studies compiling contact information and photographs and writing articles. All of the information will be done Friday! The "bare bones" of the website should be up next week and in April the web designers will come to teach me how to create a new skin and add the message boards I've been wanting. It is going to be beautiful!

I will post the URL when I know it - Do you have any ideas

Vera Wang

Tonight I thought I would blog about an inspiration of mine whose work gave me ideas and a creative outlet all through high school - Vera Wang.

I still cannot put into words all that inspires me about her designs but like many others I have fallen for their beauty. I cannot tell you how many times I have read her book Vera Wang on Weddings and found something new and beautiful. I use to make her wedding dresses my desktop background when I was majoring in apparel design. I had a boyfriend who was so sick of hearing about her that by the time we stopped dating people would sneak into his room to tape pictures of her designs on his wall just to drive him crazy - I didn't know it was that bad but apparently it was, he told me a few years later.

Vera once said "Conventional clothing has always looked pretty ridiculous on me" which may explain why her bridal dresses are so refreshing. Her use of color that year there was a large amount of green and some orange was a much needed addition into main stream bridal. This dress with a green velvet sash was one that I highly considered when I was engaged to be married in 2005 but I choose a choosing a Carmela Sutera gown that had a more attractive neckline
