*You cannot expect your bridesmaids to conform to one look. The bridesmaids should feel lucky to be part of your big day-not pressured.

One of the things I enjoy most about bridal shows are the tabletop displays. Usually you can count on the rental companies to pull out all the stops and present some great ideas to inspire you.

I had the chance recently to be part of an Inside the Designers Studio with none other than Preston Bailey and Marcy Blum.
