Spring 2010 Bridal Runway: Alvina Valenta Wedding Dresses
The Spring 2010 wedding dress collection from Alvina Valenta is romantic, dreamy and youthful. The line incorporates many of the big trends this season- fabric floral details, full tulle skirts, and hints of alencon lace. But, that's not to say that this line is just like all the rest! The youthful and dreamy look is achieved through soft strapless curved necklines, lightly jeweled fabric florals, and scattered crystals throughout the bodices. And I love the covered buttons and...

Bride Chic: LACE: New Spins on an Old Tradition

Do you know what a Fascinator is? Because when I started at OneWed, I sure didn't! Defined, a fascinator is a delicate,...

The mantilla originated in the warmer climates of Spain circa 1700. Lace versions were chic through the 17th...
