Whenever I think about the ethereal effect of whisper weight cotton, particularly white cotton voile that drapes like a breeze around the body, Salua Lingerie surfaces in my bridal conscience. This quintessential nightwear: classic, romantic styles,  handcrafted in Colombia in the tradition of the Salua Atelier is worthy of any young bride.  Sexy, yet demure, they are perfect for any warm weather honeymoon.

Big debate before my son’s wedding: can we wear black down the aisle. I did, by the way. Or should I say, black and grey. Years ago, I remember hearing about a black and white wedding and thinking: so gauche! (It could have been all the black and white balloons released on the dance floor). But today, I have a 180 degree point of view. This could be very sexy, … Read More

Some years ago, at the end of June, I went on a mini-cation  to Nantucket with my oldest friend; I call her Buzz. It started a tradition we sustained for some years that excluded family and work obligations.

Not sure that would be their wedding attire choice today, but I have no doubt that a bridal shower themed by Betsey would be very interesting. Imagine a pink afternoon tea party decked in flowers, balloons and any shower gift of Betsey Johnson’s Lingerie. Creative … Read More

Sometimes love affairs don’t work out. It’s not necessarily from a lack of wanting, but logistics interfere and the relationship dissipates. So what could be more romantic than a reclaiming of a partnership that neither party really wanted to end. It makes for a perfect union. Put to the test of time, the marriage is meant to be.  Thus is the case with the NK iMode brand. Disappearing for several … Read More

Other than my own wedding which was so long ago, the details escape my memory, I have only attended one bridal suite pre-wedding regalia. That was recently at my daughter in law’s bequest. There the bride and her attendants, wrapped in specially monogrammed robes, were pampered by makeup artists and hairstylists who morphed them into ladies in waiting. The champagne flowed. mimosas were poured and there was so much food … Read More

The first time I saw the name Flora Nikrooz, it was in a photograph posted on the side of a bus stop. It floated across the glass surface, a beautiful, billowy nightgown precious in the detail of its execution. That was, in fact in the 1990’s when Flora’s atelier make its mark as the purveyor of luxury sleepwear particularly well suited for a bride. Today, still designing in New … Read More
