New Reception Facilities at Notre Dame?
January 30, 2010Movie Inspiration
January 30, 2010Just got back from dragging my boyfriend to When In Rome with Kristen Bell. They had the most gorgeous wedding gowns in the movie! I’m am absolutely in love with the one that Kristen Bell wore. I have done some internet searching and can’t find any information as to if it was designer or just a costume department cut but I’m sure if it was just a costume department design we’ll shortly be seeing it in the bridal shops. Below are images of the gown worn by Kristen Bell. The other gown in the movie I can’t find any images of, I’ll update when I find them.
As for the movie, When In Rome, it was funny. Even the boyfriend laughed, even though he claims to despise romantic comedies.

The Bridal Spectacular
January 11, 2010Sunday was the Annual Bridal Spectacular at the Century Center. It was a great success. I wandered the aisles and they were packed with brides, grooms and their families planning for their wedding day.
Vendor highlights included gorgeous gowns from Bernardo’s for the Bride. Martin’s Catering had their usual delicious meatballs to sample. Creative Catering had some very yummy rice and chicken. Allie’s Café & Catering, was passing out some excellent meatballs themselves but watch out they were garlic. Century Center had a nice buffet of appetizers to sample. American Espresso was there serving up samples of their fantastic coffee. I had to go back several times, yum!
Cloud Nine Invitation Design had some fantastic and unique wedding invitations on display. Christine is very talented!
There was a line of people waiting to jump in the Fun Zone PhotoBooth for some free pictures. with lots of laughter from inside.
Photography: A lot of photographers were on hand and as usual I can’t speak enough about the great photos Allure Films had out. Very noticeable though was that no two photographers are created equal. I was shocked as I leafed through albums to find poorly focused images and this was not “artistically” out of focus pictures, they were just not focused. Also noticeable were images that were not properly color corrected. If the image has an overall brown especially in the whites or blue tone to it, this is not sepia, it was poorly shot and never color corrected.
The Knott was there passing out free copies of their national magazine. Of course I grabbed a copy!
Surprise Parties was displaying some fun naughty lingerie.
And of course there was tons of literature and people to talk to!
Then there was the fashion show with all the beautiful gowns and dresses. Allure Films has released a few images from the show, check them out below.
