saturday stakeout
March 18, 2006spring is such a popular season for weddings. maybe because the birth and renewal significance of spring influences wedding date decisions primarily since getting married is somewhat of a new beginning. or maybe the season brings abundance of gorgeous blooming flowers not just your common garden variety kinds. flowers being a main character in a wedding extravaganza meant to be romantic and dreamy. so, with a myriad of bridal showers, luncheons, bachelorette parties and the main event, the wedding - we are faced with dilemma on what to wear or what not to wear. after a few absences, saturday stakeout is back with some favorite looks for a wedding guest (not the bride!) on three wedding themes :
* URBAN CHIC : i envision sleek minimal monochromatic look for an urban chic wedding. the reception may be in a loft, a museum or an excellent restaurant - the look calls for a simple outfit free of frills and excess.
* GARDEN WEDDING : even if spring season is synonymous to allergy season, no one’s sending their regrets for a garden wedding in spring. the fresh garden colors blend against the bride’s immaculate ivory dress. the birds chirping along the string quartet and soothing floral scent is in the air as everyone cries along with the bride.
* FORMAL EVENING : as ladies are escorted by their tux-clad dates into the grand ballroom, the newly-wed couple steps out a stretch limo unto the arms of well-wishers and the party is about to begin. a showband is hired and champagne corks are ready to pop for celebration up to the wee hours of the morning.
finally, a toast to the newlywed couple!
