OF GODDESSES AND BRIDES
Ready to walk down the aisle looking like the goddess that you are? Then you must attend the Vera Wang bridal show on Sunday, August 5 from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel.
The Spring 2008 Vera Wang collection is a blend of ancient Greece classicism and neo-classicism inspired by renowned French designers: Poiret, Vionnet, Grés, Chanel and Dior.
Imagine narrow column dresses in silk jersey, sheer georgette, charmeuse and tulle. Then picture them with graceful and subtle scattered flowers and floral corsages, golden shafts of wheat, and branches of laurel. Modern touches such as organza, metallics and swags and beautifully detailed backs are a sure-fire way to give brides their rightful spotlight on their wedding day.
You can also discover the latest wedding trends from Christopher Aldama, owner of Fiori Fresco Special Events. Or consult with the Ritz-Carlton's wedding and catering pros who can plan an unforgettable informal afternoon gathering for close family and friends or an elegant, black-tie event for hundreds.
Attendees at the bridal show will be eligible to win a three-night certificate for luxurious hotel accommodations, and breakfast for two -- to celebrate their first wedding anniversary -- when they present an American Express card to pay for their ceremony and/or reception at The Ritz-Carlton. Tickets are $75 per person. Special events department, 949.240.2000.
The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel at One Ritz-Carlton Drive in Dana Point.
