What
is personal style?
Only
you and you alone can give an answer to that question.
Many
of us confuse personal style with being "in style" and
being in style means following a trend. Too often, we are
subjugated to what’s hot And what’s not, as the fashion
industry forces trends to change.
So
when the moment actually comes to picking out a wedding dress,
don’t fall into a fog of indecision and worry. Rest
assured that deep inside your mind's eye there exists a perfect
dress that you've dreamt of all of your life. A dress that is
truly you. If it is out there, you will find it.

history can help you make your choice. Choose a design, not a
designer.

"A
toast to the Bride and also the Groom.
May you always find joy
in all that you do. May your hearts be filled with contentment
and laughter,
and may true love be yours-
forever after..."

Vilma
Banky appeared in
a 1925 Hollywood studio publicity still for the release of the silent
film, "The Dark Angel" where she played the lead character Kitty
Vane opposite Ronald Coleman.
Miss
Banky reportedly loved this dress so much that she borrowed it from
the studio to wear later that day for her own marriage ceremony. She
used this publicity still photo as her announcement to the media.
Her
lace cloche cap headdress with silk tulle veil featured wax
flower orange blossoms and velvet leaves that matched her waist
corsage. A simple strand of cultured pearls finished the look.
