I loved Carolina Herrera’s unique wedding gowns at the 2011 Spring Fashion Week. Carolina’s inspiration was famous women in history. I love how she modernized these gowns!
Here are a couple of my favorites:
I love this classic gown inspired by Grace Kelly and the gorgeous black and white gown inspired by the famous author Jane Austen.

I also loved this beautiful gown inspired by the famous artist Frida Kahlo and this non-white wedding dress inspired by the famous painter, Elisabeth Vigee-Le Brun.

As wedding planners here in Arizona, we love fresh ideas and new vendors! At the same time, we also love building relationships with vendors who have been around and that we love. Enter Simply Cinema, the cute little baby sister of Serendipity Videography. From their site…
“It all started with Serendipity Videography getting all of these calls from brides wanting to spend between $1500 and $2000 on a wedding film. The kind of fabulousness that Serendipity Videography creates and produces for its couples costs more than that and rightfully so. But rather than turning those brides away we decided to create a concept that fits these brides Videography needs.”
Since December of 2009, Simply Cinema has been turning out some fabulous videography for the budget-minded bride and we are so excited to have them around. It’s great to have a company with a new and fresh approach to videography that we already know and love at the same time! Be sure to check out their site and their blog for more information.
