Spring 2014 signals a return to tradition in bridal, and one prime example is Charles W. Bunstine’s Anna Maier collection. If you're not familiar with the great Charles W.

Hope you enjoy a sneak peek behind the scenes at Oscar de la Renta!

As one of my clients put it, "I'm only gonna do this thing once, I want a dress that is the epitome of my personal style". Brides are demanding a break from the norm and the...
