Fashion Friday – Wedding Veil Styles

5 Apr2013 By Bridgette 5 Comments

Former Tie the Knot Tuesday bride Rashida is gorgeous in a sophisticated birdcage veil!

Confession: I had no idea there were so many types of veils until I launched Triple B. (And I have two degrees from the Fashion Institute of Technology plus studied fashion in London, England.) The truth is, I highly doubt most women do. So when it is time to search for their own veil brides are typically clueless and feel daunted by the whole process. Ladies, refer to this when you go gown/veil shopping this weekend — whether you’re the bride, mother of the bride or a bridesmaid it could prove helpful. You’re welcome! [Read more...]

Fashion Friday: Jenny Packham Bridal

The Amaryllis Style: How sick is this neckline?

Triple B, I have a crush. I stumbled upon Jenny Packham’s 2013 bridal collection this week while doing research for a freelance story. Pure eye candy. The London-based designer has dressed stars like Kerry Washington and Jennifer Hudson on the red carpet. But really it’s her subtle details that have me swooning: the unexpected pleats and usage of lace (lace can be tricky as we have all seen in wedding gowns that resemble Quinceañera dresses) combined with the overall femininity the collection has — those Brits I tell ya. Take a look at more of my faves from the line yourself: [Read more...]

Although I still think a basic ribbed tank and boy shorts are one of the sexiest things a woman can wear — and I’ve had, ahem, someone cosign this…Regardless of what your feelings are on sexy, lacy and over-the-top lingerie; it is safe to say most people wanna step up their game on their wedding night.
