Modern Princess – Stunning gowns designed with a throwback to the ladylike and iconic style of Princess Grace with beautiful tailoring, gorgeous lace and tulle are bringing a quiet elegance and glamour to weddings this season.

Colored Wedding Gowns – Brides are becoming more fashion forward and expressing their unique style. We've seen more colored wedding gowns coming out of Bridal Market and mint green or pistachio from Monique L'hullier is one of the newest colors.

Craftsmanship – There is a newfound love for the craftsmanship of vintage jewelry and vintage elements that showcase a passion in design circa 30's and 40's era

Metallics – Metallic elements are still strong for this year and are showing up in new and sparkling ways like full gold and silver wedding cakes.

Feathers – Feathers and natural elements are taking a new form in weddings this year. Instead of the over the top Gatsby look we've seen over the last few years, feathers are taking more unique and understated role in design showing up in gorgeous feather chandelier lighting, placemats and bridal accessories.

Pantone Colors – While I don't think we will see a lot of Marsala, Pantone's Color of the Year, in wedding design this year, we will see the colors of the season Aqua and Indigo as anchor colors with mint green as a complementary foundation color and bright accents of Strawberry, Tangerine and Custard as a cheery palette.

Meaningful Bouquets – A book of wishes written by guests and family members at events leading up to the wedding so the bride can walk down the aisle carrying all the love and support for her marriage. Floral attached to book as a meaningful and new take on a bridal bouquet that becomes a true heirloom.

Playful Centerpieces - Centerpieces will embody a more deconstructed look and incorporate playful elements of ribbons and glass ornaments with flower blossoms or candles in them

Ceremony Seating - Furniture Pieces and Sofas in place of traditional chairs for Ceremony Seating

A Focus on Love and Storytelling - A refocusing on telling the story of the couple through thoughtful elements.

Fashion and Bridal Designer Monique Lhuillier Encourages Brides To Invest in Platinum Engagement Rings and Wedding Bands

Fashion and Bridal Designer Monique Lhuillier Encourages Brides to Invest in Platinum Engagement Rings and Wedding Bands

MUMBAI, April 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

Platinum, a beautiful symbol of eternal love and emotional commitment, has been know to be the most coveted metal for centuries and a popular choice for engagement rings and weddings bands. It's a precious and everlasting expression that appeals to the discerning consumer. Internationally renowned jewellery and fashion designer Monique Lhuillier shares her timely tips on how to choose the perfect platinum engagement rings and celebrates the individuality of brides-to-be by offering ring styles that are as distinctive as her wedding gowns.



(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20150427/10121512 )

An icon in her industry, Monique is revered internationally for her exquisite bridal and ready-to-wear collections that capture the essence of sophisticated luxury by provoking femininity, allure and glamour. Monique's bridal designs have been donned by Reese Witherspoon, Carrie Underwood and Ginnifer Goodwin for their weddings. Her platinum engagement rings give a nod to the individuality of the millennial bride and this season she encourages brides to invest in platinum. Its long-lasting, natural white beauty and durability make it the most precious of metals as well as an eternal symbol of an enduring relationship.

She believes, "Whether I'm designing a wedding gown or an engagement ring, I want my creations to last forever. Platinum's natural white beauty and durability means it will last for generations and become a family heirloom."

Her inspired platinum engagement rings showcase silhouettes for a Vintage, Modern and Romantic style bride and she shares her must-haves on engagement rings and wedding bands:

- Invest in platinum from your engagement ring: It's the perfect choice for engagement rings and wedding bands because it is naturally white so it won't change color or fade. It symbolises a relationship that will endure. Platinum's strength and durability make it the most secure setting for diamonds and precious gemstones, meaning your diamonds and gemstones are safe.

- Think beyond the diamond: "I think it's bold to have a non-traditional center stone. In my most recent jewellery collection, I introduce colored stones for the first time. Blue sapphires add elegance and distinctiveness to engagement rings and wedding bands," said Monique.

- Choose a setting that's timeless: A ring is an investment, so you want to make sure you will wear this store for years to come. It's worn everyday so it should remain timeless and reflect your personal style.

- Go custom: Adding personal style to a piece of jewellery that will last a lifetime is crucial. Customising your own ring is offered by many reputable jewellers. I partnered with Bluenile.com where you can essentially build your engagement ring to suit your budget.

About Platinum Guild International:

Founded in the year 1975, Platinum Guild International (PGI) is dedicated to promoting platinum jewellery to the consumers and the jewellery trade worldwide. Headquartered in London, PGI has offices in each of the world's major jewellery markets - China, Japan, Germany, India, Italy, UK and the USA.

Before You or Your Kids Say, "I Do."

Photo Credit: Weddding Clip Art.

Monday, January 19, 2015

Before You or Your Kids Say, "I Do."

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."1

A Daily Encounter reader writes, "My son is seeing a young woman who is trying to force him to marry right away even though they hardly know each other. Is there any way I can advise him?"

As your son is legally an adult, there isn't much you can do unless he seeks your counsel. If he were my son and asked for my counsel and is a Christian, the following is what I would do:

1. I would encourage him to pray earnestly for God's direction and especially that God would reveal to him the truth, both about himself and about his lady friend, and their relationship. When physical attraction and/or need is strong, couples are very often blind to reality, marry before they really know each other, and alas too late discover they made a big mistake. However, when seeing the truth before marriage, at least the one earnestly seeking the truth knows what he/she needs to do.

2. I would urge him to receive the best possible pre-marriage counseling with his potential life partner as this is an excellent way to see the truth about each other and to see if they are well suited for each other or otherwise.

3. I would warn him that anyone who is pushing to get married too soon and before receiving adequate pre-marriage counseling is either very needy and over-dependent and/or hiding a character weakness—possibly a serious one—and wants to hook a partner before his/her flaws are discovered.

4. If my son is a Christian and his lady friend is not—based on God's Word I would let him know that this is a big NO-NO. As God's word wisely advises, "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?"2 For a healthy and strong relationship it is very important that both are emotionally mature and spiritually in harmony with each another.

5. Above all, I would encourage my son to earnestly seek God's guidance regarding this relationship and to make sure he and his potential spouse pray together regularly and put God first in both their personal life and relationship should they decide to, or not to, marry. If they don't do this before marriage, it isn't too likely they will do it afterwards.

Suggested prayer: "Dear God, please help me to be a fine Christian example to my children so that they, seeing my life, will want You to be first in their life and always seek Your guidance and seek to live in harmony with Your will. Thank You for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus's name, amen."

1. Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV).
2. 2 Corinthians 6:14 (NIV).

Newly Wed Met and Engaged On the Parking Spot of Airport

The Parking Spot provided a backdrop for Cheri and Jack Leutz's wedding photos. The couple met and got engaged on the airport shuttle.
PR Newswire (http://s.tt/1kSQt)




Cheri and Jack Leutz met and got engaged on The Parking Spot airport shuttle

DALLAS, Aug. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- What's more romantic than meeting the love of your life on a dream vacation? Dallas residents Cheri and Jack Leutz may have figured out the answer: Meeting the love of your life on an airport shuttle bound for The Parking Spot.

After meeting and getting engaged on The Parking Spot, Dallas newlyweds Cheri and Jack Leutz incorporated the airport shuttle into their big day. The yellow-and-black spotted shuttle helped transport the wedding party from the ceremony to the reception site.

PR Newswire (http://s.tt/1kSQt)


Cheri and Jack were married on July 28, four years after meeting on The Parking Spot airport shuttle in Dallas, Texas. Cheri was home from a whirlwind trip to New York; Jack was returning from visiting family in Colorado. Jetlagged and dressed down, the two struck up a conversation about their matching grey sneakers, playing kickball and a mutual love of Mexican food.

"It was just serendipity that it worked out. I missed my intended airport transportation lot. As a result, I ended up at the Parking Spot, and on Jack's shuttle," Cheri said. "If I had taken a cab or parked in the other lot, we never would've met. It just seemed like we were meant to meet."

Simply put, the two hit it off. In September 2011, the couple found themselves back on The Parking Spot shuttle, headed to Colorado Springs to visit his family in Woodland Park. To get them to the airport, Jack had reserved a covered spot, private shuttle and personal chauffeur – the local Parking Spot general manager. As Cheri rifled through luggage and boarding passes, their song began to play, and Jack got down on one knee. As they say, the rest is history.

"This is such a classic story of two people being in the right place at the right time," said Mark P. Wildman, Senior Vice President of Marketing for The Parking Spot. "Where you park does matter, and in this case, two strangers felt comfortable enough on our shuttle to strike up what turned out to be a life-changing conversation. We're honored to be a part of their story."

Cheri and Jack tied the knot in an outdoor ceremony in Woodland Park, Colo. The Parking Spot's black and yellow spotted shuttle played a role in the couple's big day, transporting the wedding party to and from the venue and reception. It also served as a central location for wedding photos and an indoor respite from their drizzly wedding day. After the wedding, the two were paradise-bound – The Parking Spot helped to make the couple's honeymoon to Maui possible.

About The Parking Spot

The Parking Spot is the nation's largest near-airport parking operator, providing parking and shuttle service at airports around the country in distinctive spotted shuttles. The Parking Spot Network includes Parking Spot branded facilities at Atlanta Hartsfield, Austin Bergstrom, Buffalo – Niagara, Dallas Fort Worth, Dallas Love Field, Denver International, Houston Hobby, Houston George Bush Intercontinental, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Memphis, Nashville, Newark, New York JFK, Oklahoma City Will Rogers, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix Sky Harbor, Pittsburgh, Port Columbus, and Lambert -St. Louis.

In assisting me to coordinate the female athletes in 1986, we won the 1986 Inter-Faculty Games of the University. She was a close ally in most of the key feats I achieved both as a student and student’s union activist!



She left the University in 1988 to do her youth service in Port Harcourt while I left in 1989 to serve in Yola in the then Gongola State present day Taraba and Adamawa States. We got married formally on 23rd Dec, 1991 at her home town, Ngo-Okpala in Imo State and wedded by Bishop Ignatius Kaigama in St. Theresa Catholic Church in Yola on 23rd May, 1992. She assisted me to set up Eze Continental Investment Ltd from the scratch and today it has become a household name in the entire North East of Nigeria in areas of Sports Promotion and selling of the best quality of sports equipment until January 2012 when we were forced to leave Yola due to the menace of Boko Haram to our present abode in Abakalik, Ebonyi State.


Mrs. Eze and their son Kelechi.

To the glory of God we are blessed with six great kids. Two of them are already in the University studying Computer Science and Public Administration, two to enter university before the year runs off while the last two are in Secondary and Primary Schools.

The devil and his cohorts knowing how great this family ordain by God will be plotted to eliminate my entire family when on 21st Dec, at Ogoja in CRS my Jeep conveying my wife and five of my kids for the xmas was involved in a fatal accident with a FAD Trailer that cost the lives of the Driver and two of the conductors of the trailer while nobody in the Jeep sustained any serious injury. Just for God to prove His luv and concern for my family.

My brothers and sisters, join me to pray and thank God for seeing us through till this day as we rededicate our lives for better services to mankind!

If there is anything like reincarnation, I will still pray God to grant me the grace to remarry this great gift to mankind!

French Lacemaker Sophie Hallette Makes the Cut on Kate Middleton's Wedding Dress

CAUDRY, France, June 8, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

- Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen Chooses Sophie Hallette Lace for Royal Gown

After much anticipation across the globe, the wedding gown of the century was finally unveiled and it was a vision of modern British splendor, with a French touch.

http://multivu.prnewswire.com/mnr/prne/sophiehallette/48927/

Kate Middleton, the new Duchess of Cambridge, wore a gown designed by Sarah Burton, the Artistic Director at Alexander McQueen. Made of white and ivory satin gazar and designed to emulate an opening flower, the gown featured a lace adorned bodice inspired by Victorian corsetry - a classic McQueen reference, a plunging neckline, long sleeves, and a train of more than nine cascading feet. A truly extraordinary lace was needed to exalt the dress and in a symbolic nod to time-honored traditions, Burton and the newest member of the monarchy chose Sophie Hallette, the renown French company that has been making lace since 1887.

"Everybody from the factory floor to the designers was thrilled when the news spread that our lace was on the dress," said Romain Lescroart, CEO of Sophie Hallette. "Our laces have adorned haute couture creations and luxury goods worldwide for 127 years, but this certainly marks a crowning achievement in our history for which we draw great pride."

The Sophie Hallette lace selected by Burton is an exclusive model designed in 1958 and was manufactured on artisanal looms that are more than 100 years old. The roses, daffodils and shamrocks of the particularly dainty floral motif were cut out from the original lace and hand-sewn onto the silk tulle of the décolleté, sleeves and train by the Royal School of Needlework at Hampton Court Palace, using a Carrickmacross lace-making technique, which originates from 1820's Ireland.

About Sophie Hallette

Based in Caudry, France and family-run for three generations since its founding in 1887, Sophie Hallette sets the world standard for high-quality lace craftsmanship. Manufactured respecting traditional methods on Leavers looms more than 100 years old and maintained by craftsmen whose know-how is unique in the world, Sophie Hallette laces are a staple of the most famous brands in haute couture and luxury goods including: Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Zuhair Murad, Basil Soda, Elie Saab, Nina Ricci,Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Bottega Veneta, Valentino, Brioni, Fendi, Lanvin and Givenchy among others.
