Looking back on Easter as a child, I remember how excited I was to dig through my Easter basket. Full of chocolate bunnies, malt ball Easter eggs, Peeps, golden coins, and my favorite Cadbury...

You’re invited to a bridal brunch hosted by yours truly and kate spade new york. Please join us all this week beginning bright and early Monday morning, as we sip champagne and toast the season of “I do’s” with everything you’ll need to shower the bride to be. Happy Sunday Loves! truly, MKR.
When creating the look of our “bride” (Ms. Tiffany Olson) on her big day I knew I wanted to do two very different, yet equally stunning looks. A soft classic bride and one with a little more vamp. With the help of Claudia Mejerleand a few well placed accessories we accomplished just that…actually more than that as we ended the day with three looks.
For the first, a softer more classic bride Tiffany wore soft loose waves, a never ending veil and a neutral lip. The veil was worn both over her face (a personal fave of mine), and then cascading down her back and well past the train of her Junko Yoshioka dress. For the second, vamped up version, an eye veil was a must plus a deep bordeaux lip, and of course a smoky eye. Claudia took her hair from soft to a messier, wavy teased look. And lastly Tiffany’s hair was pulled back into the most gorgeous bun and pinned with a vintage brooch. This allowed us to really showcase all of the accessories and let’s be honest…as a bride it’s much easier to dance the night away when you’re not worrying about your hair!
Speaking of accessories. I mean what can I say…I pulled out the big guns. Chanel, McQueen, Olympia. It was literally every fashion obsessed girls dream day. The insane Chanel pearl and acrylic bracelet and pearl necklace with the iconic C’s draped down Tiffany’s back was really all the bling she needed. But of course enough is really never enough so I had to add a navy and black leather floral Chanel brooch to the back of her sash because a bride should look amazing both coming and going. And her Charlotte Olympia navy satin shoes and Alexander McQueen clutch made my, and Tiffany’s, jaw drop. But the cherry on the sundae for me were the gloves. I believe very strongly that your wedding day is yours and if you want to wear fingerless Chanel driving gloves then that’s your prerogative. I mean really, who wouldn’t want to wear Chanel driving gloves?! No one, thats who.
So my Loves, there you have it. My vision of a winter wedding. truly, MKR
Back in October I had the pleasure of creating a winter wedding for Occasions Magazine. With my obsession of ginger jars and all things blue in full swing I knew when coming up with a concept that’s where I would start. The Swan House at the Atlanta History Museum provided the perfect backdrop, complete with a blue door. The table, a combination of blue sequins and stripes with a mix of Juliska tableware and white florals was flanked by two navy chairs perfect for the bride and groom. And the cake, well where do I begin? Layers of ombre ruffles came off simple yet over the top.
Tomorrow I’ll be sharing all of the fashion and bridal details, which you won’t want to miss since Chanel fingerless driving gloves are involved. And to give you a little sneak peek Hampton Road Studioscaptured the day just perfectly via video below.
Lastly, but most importantly, I couldn’t have pulled any of this off without my crazy talented team. I am truly blessed and humbled to work with such creatives on a regular basis. Love you guys! truly, MKR
