Durga-kali is a patent-pending collection of reversible dresses that women can wear again and again. The collection is geared towards women looking for a formal wedding look or a chic and sassy little black dress. You get two dresses for the price of one and I think they look fabulous! It's such a brilliant concept.

The Perfect Valentine's Day and/or Wedding Gift : Lace Bridal Robe

I recently came across this beautiful lace bridal robe created by Maggie from The Giving Bride on etsy and had to share it with you. For all the bride-to-be's out there, feel free to pass this post along to your sweetie as it's the perfect robe for the wedding morning and night, as well as the honeymoon. At The Giving Bride, 10% of your purchase goes towards supporting women's charities. Since Maggie makes each item custom, feel free to contact her should you like to see the robe in a color other than bright bridal white. If she can get her hands on the color lace you'd like, she's ready to create. Oh, and the color of the ribbon at the waist can be changed too.

A starry night wedding reception in Mesa, Arizona

Did you know that Arizona is a great place to have a wedding reception? According to the photographers of Amanda and Derrick's wedding, Photography by Verdi, they say it is because it hardly ever rains. Mindi and Rich say "You have to have really bad luck if it rains on your wedding in Arizona." As a result of this, Amanda and Derrick's reception was held under a star lit sky, so magical. Oh, and don't you just love the brides beautiful gown? I love the lace detailing on the sleeves and the succulents in her bouquet are gorgeous too.
