Road to the Aisle with Megan and Peter: The Mother's Siri Dresses

Megan's Mom, Sandra and Peter's Mom, Diane have both chosen their Siri Dresses!

Sandra chose the Genevieve Dress and jacket in Siri's new Crinkled Shantung in Mediterranean Blue, the picture above on the left is the exact dress and jacket, fabric and color that she chose. The Genevieve Dress is a strapless knee length dress that is being paired with a beautiful short sleeve bolero style jacket that will give this mom a stunning look.

Diane chose the Sabine Dress in a solid raspberry silk shantung and is pairing it with a Topper Jacket in raspberry sheer organza, pictured above right. This dress will complement Sandra's dress as it will mirror the same style while giving Diane a look that will truly be her own. She will look lovely on wedding day.

Siri made the process of ordering the dresses so simple, even though both mothers live out of state. The staff and Beverley Siri herself made the ordering process so simple and stress free. Mothers all over the world should order their dresses from this fabulous company. They will make sure they walk away happy moms of the couple!

Mothers of the bride and groom love Siri because their styling is younger and more updated. They definitely have revolutionized what the mothers' should look like. Siri loathes the "old mother of the bride look" and prefer to give them something chic and distinct yet affordable. Just like the dresses in bridesmaids collection, Siri dresses for mothers can be ordered from a variety of fabrications, each having many colors to choose from. Specialty fabrics such as embroidered shantung or like their new Crinkled Shantung are created just with the mother of the bride or groom in mind. It's easy to customize Siri dresses so that it reflects the person wearing them as well by adding pieces that reflect you...it's so couture.

Siri is pleased to provide the two dresses for the mothers of Megan and Peter.

Here is a video of Beverley Siri talking about why Siri choose to modernize the dowdy Mothers of the Couples dresses.



Thank you Siri for the fabulous dresses!

Road to the Aisle with Megan and Peter: The Coren Moore Bridesmaids Dresses

Yesterday, our dream bride, Megan, accompanied by one of her maids, Jamie, and Percy from Percy Sales Events ventured out to Bella Bridesmaids Boutique in Los Angeles to try on Coren Moore Bridesmaids dresses! What a fun trip this was. Thanks to Julie at Coren Moore and Cassidy at Bella Bridesmaids for setting up the fitting for us.

Coren Moore maids dresses are so FABULOUS! They had a variety of styles that flatters every figure and some design details that are just so cute. Each dress was so unique and it had some interesting aspect to each of them. Every dressed that was tried on was like a dream dress, that we were so dizzy from beauty overload. After trying on what seemed to be like 20 dresses (okay maybe not that many)...Megan settled on 6 styles in hopes that each of her bridesmaids would choose one of the styles, giving them all a different look!

They styles she chose are:

• Avery
• Sarah Jessica
• Lilly
• Peyton
• Jillian
  
• Nolan
  

She really loves the thought of her five maids wearing navy dresses with a lime sash and a her maid of honor wearing an amethyst gown with a navy sash. It works with her color combo. Anyway we can't wait to show you the final dress selections! Stay tuned.

Road to the Aisle with Megan and Peter: The Watters Bridal Gown

Today, Megan (Southern California Dream Wedding Giveaway's Dream Bride™) had her own personal Watters Bridal trunk show and fitting at Lili Bridals and Formals in Tarzana, California. Vanessa Brandon from Watters and Lisa Litt from Lili Bridals was on hand to help Megan with her Dream Gown...and did she find it...bone chilling perfection.

Megan tried on about 10 gowns from Watters fabulous 2010 line. The gowns represented both Watters Brides and WToo Brides. Both lines offered amazing detail work, hand embellishments, and the overall styling and design were just spectacular. Plus, the price points are incredible...considering some of the more expensive gowns from other lines did not compare to the fabulousness of these gowns.

Below are are a sampling of the gowns that Megan tried on. Is "the dress" one of these...well you won't know until wedding day.

Let's just say that the Watters Dream Dress™ will be paired with a Swarovski crystal ribbon headband and a cathedral length veil. It's was a "goose" bumps moment when Megan walked out with the Dream Dress that was chosen for the final approval by all!

Thank you to Lisa Litt from Lili Bridals and Formals, Vatana Watters and Vanessa Brandon of Watters Bridal for providing our Dream Bride™ with her Dream Dress.

In the words of Megan and Peter, "Our guests are gonna have so many surprises around each corner, they won't know what hit them."

After the tour, the three of them sat and discussed the many questions that Megan and Peter had about winning the dream wedding and discussed the themes, colors and wants that Megan and Peter would like to see as part of their dream wedding. We discussed every element from dress and tux fittings, the wedding weeks schedule, and other details that will make their wedding as unique as they are.

After the meeting Megan and Peter where left alone to take in the beauty of Rancho de Las Palmas and take photos and videos of the property. Next stop...Lili Bridals and Formals for the Watters trunk show on Sunday and finding the dream gown for Megan.
