* A Romantic Country Club Wedding by Hustle & Bustle

Posted on February 6th, 2012 by Kate. Filed under Real Weddings.


With Valentine’s day just about a week away, we’re indulging in the pink hues and romantic styling of Jenna and Jeff’s wedding at The Los Angeles Country Club.  The day was feminine, lovely, a snapshot of classic elegance. Hustle & Bustle Events coordinated everything to perfection; Michael Segal documented all of the special moments and exquisite little details.

Jenna looked positively gorgeous in a fit and flare Alencon lace and silk gown, while the bridesmaids were fresh and pretty in pink chiffon frocks. The ceremony took place just outside of the clubhouse, with sweeping views of Bel Aire and downtown Los Angeles.  Chairs were embellished with fabric streamers, which blew gently in the breeze.  Jenna and Jeff took their vows encircled by rose petals, which were well-suited for tossing and celebrating after they said ‘I do.’Back in the clubhouse, lace tablecoths, pink hues, and garden flowers adorned the reception.  Guests were served signature drinks and enjoyed a dreamy summer Los Angeles evening…

* Trend Snippet: Sleeves Please

Posted on November 4th, 2011 by Kate. Filed under Wedding Dress.


This past New York bridal market was really such a treat.  While strapless gowns have stolen the show year after year, this season was different.  We saw sleeves in all shapes and size… beautiful, feminine, sheer sleeves… short and long, beaded and simple, one shoulder sleeves, and off the shoulder sleeves! Whew!  It was a sleeve extravaganza that we enjoyed very much.  Here’s a peek at the sleeve trend with looks from our fave designers:

1. Elbow Length Sleeves

Here’s a little vintage romance for your Tuesday…

Elise and Joe’s wedding day was one filled with lace vintage dresses, bow ties, pearls, baby’s breath, shades of pink… and of course, poppies and posies everywhere.  They wed at a Victorian estate in Orange, California. Photography duo Micah & Megan captured a day full of heartfelt emotion.
