Grab your ribbon wand and check out Disney’s new wedding gown collection by Kirstie Kelley and you’ll be sure to feel like Cinderella on your wedding day. Or Belle, or any of the other characters that inspired this 34 gown collection unveiled at New York’s Bridal fashion week.
The gowns range in price from $1500 to $3000 and according to a Disney spokesperson “The price point is aimed at a generation of couples who are getting married older and paying for their own celebrations.”
Huh? Speaking as someone who was married at 32 and could be considered an “older” bride, I don’t think that the words “fairytale” “princess” or even “tiara” entered my mind when planning my wedding..but hey, maybe I’m the exception!

My husbands groomsman Jay and my bridesmaid sarah got engaged about six months before our wedding. We were so happy for them and I was very excited that I would have another wedding to look forward to after mine was over!
And what a wedding it was..
The Reception was at the Flagler museum, which should tell you everything you need to know about the lavish affair!
Ok, so you want pictures…
Here is a picture of Jay lifting Sarah’s veil during the traditional Jewish Bedecken:

First Dance:
Check out these centerpieces!
There was also a bonus in it for me, I got to wear just about EVERYTHING I bought for my own wedding but decided not to wear.. including a rhinestone side comb and large pendant necklace you see on me below (that’s me on the right with my bridesmaid Amy) and also the FIRST pair of silver shoes I bought (I ended up going with the fourth pair.) They all matched my baby blue vintage style dress perfectly and I feel a lot less guilty about having bought them now that I’ve worn them at least once!
All in all it was a beautiful, warm and wonderful wedding and we wish all the joy and happiness in the world for Jay and Sarah.
Next we’re headed to Charlotte NC for the wedding of our dear friends’ Mike & Tracy so stay tuned!

I returned recently from the wedding of my dear childhood friend Michele, to her wonderful new Husband Hector who was born and raised in the small town of Xacatlan where the wedding was held. Friends and relatives of the couple flew into Mexico city to board a chartered bus to Xacatlan where approximately 200 of Hectors relatives were waiting to celebrate their marriage.
Here is the happy couple on the beautiful dance floor that Hector’s brother contructed himself:
There were so many highlights of this wonderful wedding, too many to list, but I’ve narrowed it down to these:
I was very honored that my friend wore in her hair the barette that I wore to my wedding..
Their reception tent was breathtakingly beautiful, the billowing fabric along the ceiling also draped down the poles and created such a gorgeous softness…
We danced all night, ate fabulous food, and drank way too much tequila. Witness this picture of my husband (did I marry Woody from Toy Story??)..
There were a few wedding traditions that were a bit different than any I’ve seen here, like when the couple takes a bite out of the actual cake itself, and a “dance” where the bride and groom get held up on chairtops with the groom holding onto the bride’s veil while all the men present hold hands and run under the veil and try to knock the groom off his chair..
Luckily no one was hurt and the groom didn’t let go of the veil!
All in all it was a beautiful wedding and we were so glad that we got to be there to celebrate with Michele, Hector and practically the whole town of Xacatlan!
