Blossom models her wedding day duds.
Well, it took three days, 25 people, 40 dresses, thousands of dollars worth of accessories, hundreds and hundreds of photos and two Chihuahuas but we got the D Weddings gown shoot done – and if we do say so ourselves, it’s one of our best! I’d love to show you some shots here but you’ll have to wait until the issue comes out at the end of December. I know that seems far off but it will be worth it. You’ll see gorgeous designer dresses (some straight off the runway) from Vera Wang, Monique Lhuillier, Oscar de la Renta, St. Pucchi, Angel Sanchez, Romona Keveza and more. Until then, get your wedding gown fix by checking out my photo-filled Runway Reports from last week’s NYC Bridal Market here, here and here. And the Chihuahuas? They kept us on our toes during the long days, and even got in on the act once or twice.
When Michael Principe and his 8-year-old daughter, Angela, departed for a several-week trip out west, they left Michael’s girlfriend, Amy Lambert, waiting in anticipation for their return back to Texas. Not only was Amy looking forward to seeing two of her favorite people again, but Michael and Angela informed Amy that they were adding goodies and trinkets to “Amy’s Bag of Prezzies” with each city they visited. Upon their return to Texas on July 23, Michael and Angela asked Amy to close her eyes as they presented her with the bag of gifts. She happily agreed, and with each eye opening, she was presented with t-shirts, key chains, and jewelry collected in cities from Las Vegas to Sacramento. Thinking her parade of presents had come to an end, Michael asked Amy to close her eyes one last time for one final gift. She opened her eyes to find Michael down on one knee with a bright ring in hand. Amy screamed “yes!” as they all celebrated together. And although Angela suggested Michael coax Amy into saying yes with a handful of jellybeans, we’re thinking the ring sealed the deal just fine.
