You turn around and the man of your dreams is on one knee with a rock, asking you to be his forever! Of course you say yes because this is the moment you’ve been dreaming of since you were a kid! Now all of that Pinterest pinning, and late night talks with girlfriends about imaginary husbands are actually going to be brought to life! You start price shopping around for wedding venues and realize to rent one out for an entire day cost more than your left kidney. But then you come across an intimate outdoor wedding in a local park and think... You’ll just have to pay the entry fee and call to make sure they will allow a small reception!

Now that you’ve picked a sweet spot, date, and time, you are ready to secure all other vendors! First, the dress, then the photographer, then your hair and makeup artist, and of course florals! After everything is set in stone, contracts are signed, styles are picked out, invites have been sent, YOU ARE READY TO BE A BRIDE!

Even if you decide to do an outdoor wedding, there is nothing wrong with finding a cute little airbnb to rent out, and hold your guests in case it does rain, another option is to rent a tent (we love working with Diamond Event and Tent!), surprisingly enough this is done VERY often, some venues even have big, beautiful, white ones in storage just in case, or even finding a park that has an awning to be able to use! Maybe you’re adventurous, and have a small amount of guests coming and decide to capture the day AS IS… CLEAR UMBRELLAS, PEOPLE! They not only capture the atmosphere and add to the photos in general, but it’ll make you look back and remember the intimate, and the raw! How fun would be to play with your forever in the rain anyway?!

Give yourself, and your guests something to remember the day! Forget the old wedding favors to hand out on your wedding day! But instead treat yourself and your guests to monogrammed towels, or blankets to dry them off or keep them warm while they enjoy your reception! Think about doing your wedding hashtag on an umbrella that they can use EVERY TIME it rains! They can remember your day over and over again!

So I've been totally slacking with my Fashion Week updates. Which is too bad, because, as everyone pretty much agrees, Paris is where the most interesting stuff is happening, fashion-wise. So here's what Cathy Horyn has to say: She hated Yohji Yamamoto (quite surprising, since he's usually such a critics' darling); is mezmerizedwedding dresses by Balenciaga, while also praising Dior and Gaultier; praises Belgians Olivier Theyskens and Dries van Noten while panning Ungaro and Stella McCartney (whose collection was rather boring, yes); gives more praise to innovators YSL and Chanel; questions the modernity of Alexander McQueen and Comme des Garcons; and learns to love "overload" at Vuitton. Whew!

For the record, my three favorite Paris shows were Balenciaga, Rochas, and Alexander McQueen. I love the clean, mod shapes at Balenciaga, and he arguably makes the hottest skinny trousers around--so much so that I want to, to paraphrase Atoosa Rubenstein, start dieting now so I can fit into them by fall. Rochas is just so understatedly glamorous yet cool; these are clothes you could wear every day (if you could afford to). And McQueen is just a virtuoso; I'm willing to argue that no other designer of his generation can tailor as well as he can. I love to pop into his store on 14th Street just to look around and be inspired (in fact I did so on Saturday after my appointment at Sally Hershberger; while I was there, I got on the waiting list for a skull scarf).

And just when you thought wedding dressesyou were done, Los Angeles Fashion Week starts next Friday. Expect lots of tees, jeans, and former America's Next Top Model contestants.
