Kate Hudson's Winter Wedding Perfection!

FabSugar — Tue, 25 Jul 2006 10:23:56 -0700

Yes it's the middle of July and there is a heat wave sweeping the nation, but if you happen to be having a winter wedding, I bet you are deep in to the planning stages by now.

In the spirit of this, I thought we could take a look at the gorgeous winter wedding of Kate Hudson and Chris Robinson in Aspen, Colorado. Not only did Kate Hudson prove to be practical (long coat for the cold weather) but she also styled her gorgeous, strapless, ivory, silk duchesse satin dress Vera Wang dress to resemble the designs of the 19th century. Her couture had the finishing touches of a hand-stitched corset bodice. I believe the floor length fur coat was Vera Wang also.

Unfortunately, this is the only photo that has been released and you can not see her gown in it.

Do You Have a Lake or Pond on Your Property?

CasaSugar — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 06:15:38 -0700

At my vacation house growing up, we had two ponds on our property. In the Summer, we'd row our old rowboat around them, play with the frogs and salamanders that lived there, and practice our fishing skills. In the Winter, the ponds were prime spots for ice skating. And of course, they gave the scenery a face lift.

Fab Flash: Marc Jacobs to Tie the Knot

FabSugar — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 12:00:22 -0700

Update: Marc and Lorenzo are, in fact engaged! The couple will make a public announcement tomorrow. Congrats!

Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone have been dating for a while now so it's only natural to wonder when, or if, the two will wed. After his successful Louis Vuitton show at Paris Fashion week, Marc proclaimed to the press that he was in love and inspired. When asked if a wedding was on the horizon, Martone replied stating, "It's really early to share, but our relationship is getting stronger and more mature. And with that, some things might happen."

If a wedding were to take place, we would imagine only the best for Jacobs and his beau. Martone, hypothetically speaking, of course, envisions a ceremony in St. Barth's. "We experienced a really great vacation in St. Barth's recently," said Martone. "It was during the Winter in December. It was super warm, people were relaxed, tanned, and we were having an amazing time with our friends. So why not? Maybe a New Year's Eve wedding in St. Barth's would be really fun." The date could be closer than we think. The love birds are currently on vacation in Brazil where Jacobs will be meeting Martone's mother for the first time. Aw.

Fab's Guide to Finding the Perfect Dress to Say "I Do" In

FabSugar — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Hello, bride-to-be. I'm Fab, your personal wedding dress shopper! Whether you have three months or twelve to shop for your dream dress, here is a guide to help you look your most beautiful, and keep your sanity. You be the bride and I'll be your guide . . .

First things first: determine your wedding style and budget. Close your eyes and try to picture your big day. Is the ceremony ethereal outside on a beach? Or more formal inside a formal church? Or is it something in between? You'll want a wedding gown that fits your picture. Choose something light and airy if you'll be beachside and something more lavish if you'll be in a church. If you're going the church route, remember to cover up with a shawl or bolero as you want to respect the dress code of the establishment. The most important thing is to set a budget so you don't go ga ga over a dress that's out of your price range!

To read the rest of my Fab wedding shopping guide, read more.

Remember that the season could determine the style of your dress, but it doesn't have to. It's your wedding, so you make the rules. If you're in love with an open-back dress for your Winter wedding, you can always pair it with a shawl for warmth. If your wedding is in the Summer but you love a long-sleeve lace gown, go for it (just wear lots of deodorant!)
Once you've decided on your ceremony style and budget, you'll need inspiration. Go out and buy all of the weddings magazines on the stand and start ripping away. Create a wedding dress file - I suggest something special like this Peppercot Accordion File Tote ($24). This file will also come in handy later in life, I promise.
There is an insane amount of dress styles to choose from (classic, retro, modern, color, etc) but my favorite trends now are bows, embellishments, and short lengths. I will show you more of these dress styles in depth later, but for starters here are the the options I'd explore were it my wedding.

(L-R: Bows (Melissa Sweet), Short (Vera Wang Bridal), Embellished (Kenneth Pool)
While you are gathering your gown file, ask your wedding planner or married friends for suggestions of dress salons near you. Also peruse online wedding sites like Wedding Channel and Brides. Brides has a handy dandy glossary you'll appreciate. The most important thing to remember is timing. Special-order gowns can take three to six months to create, and alterations can take weeks, so plan accordingly.
Now that it's time to go gown shopping, it's important to dress appropriately. You want to wear loose fitting clothes that are easy to get in and out of - but don't dress like a slob. It's also good to have your hair either pulled back or down, depending on how you'll have it on the actual day. Bring comfortable shoes with the heel height you plan to wearing. Throw a strapless bra into your purse and try to wear pretty underthings - you will be standing around in them in front of your shopping buddies and salesperson.
Once you are assigned a salesperson, go through your tear sheets with them and point out what you like about dresses and special details you love. When you try on dresses, continue to point out your likes and dislikes.
Keep an eye out for quality. In a high-quality gown every detail should have a perfect finish - no bead or string should be unraveled. Natural fabrics like silk are pricier than synthetics, but the benefits are they let your skin breathe and don't trap sweat. A-line gowns fall smoothly and prevent panty lines; this is also the best shape for fuller figures. If you do have budget constraints, skip beading and fancy details and focus on a fine fabric and a good fit - you can always dress yourself up with jewelry and beauty!
The finishing touches. Take into account the following elements surrounding your look: alterations, headpiece/veil, lingerie, jewelry, shoes, bag, a cover up, and the groom's ensemble. Oh, and the bridesmaids. Lastly, two weeks before your wedding, have a final dress fitting with your accessories and lingerie, and break in your shoes by wearing them at home. There will be more on this in months to come so stay tuned!
