Blue-Ribbon Bridal Gown

April 23, 2012 by WendyB

Last week, WWD took my breath away by putting this Oscar de la Renta bridal gown on its cover. Imagine the reaction you’d get walking down the aisle in that! Fabulous. I’d love to design a matching engagement ring or wedding band. Follow Oscar de la Renta’s Twitter feed at @OscarPRGirl.

September 26, 2011 by WendyB

Gorgeous blogger Vyque of Fasshonaburu got married in Virginia on September 17 and I was there! Vyque and the new Mr. Vyque (aka Curtis) were on cloud nine … and a livestream. They’re modern that way! Vyque designed her ombre violet gown herself and had it made by local wedding-gown expert Angie Cavallaro. It reminded…

My Almost-Husband Paul McCartney to Wed Nancy Shevell

May 6, 2011 by WendyB

Yesterday, at the benefit luncheon for the Trust for the National Mall (to which I wore my Alexander McQueen suit), I had a enjoyable and completely biased chat with a woman at my table about how the third time’s the charm when it comes to wives. In our experience, men who have been married twice…

What the Bride Wore: Sequins and a Big Smile

December 14, 2010 by WendyB

Our friends Dick and Janice got married Sunday in a lovely ceremony. They read Rumi and Shakespeare to each other, causing me to jab MrB in his side and hiss, “You didn’t read any poetry to me.” Janice looked so glamorous. I was amazed to learn she was wearing J. Crew from head to toe: a…

Strike Up the (Wedding) Bands for Jen and Kevin

September 18, 2010 by WendyB

My gorgeous friends Jen and Kevin are getting married today! I’m so excited for them. I had the pleasure of creating their custom wedding bands.

Your Wedding Wish Is My Command. Now Vote!

September 29, 2009 by WendyB

Last week, I mentioned that at my 2001 wedding, I changed out of my Richard Tyler wedding gown and into a custom-made white leather halter top and hip-huggers. A few of you requested pictures. Here they are. I thought I was being pretty edgy with the leather at the time, but the gown is so…

Best Wishes to the (Soon-to-Be) Bride

March 11, 2008 by WendyB

ENC of Observationmode is too shy to make a big deal of it herself, so I’m making a fuss for her: She’s getting married on March 20! Stop by her blog to leave your best wishes, but not your congratulations. Traditionally, you say “Congratulations” to the groom because he’s managed to find a woman who…
