Joanna DeGr�ce: Wedding Dresses "Direct", in Montr�al

Juliette (Satin, chapel train wedding dress with sash) $799

Looking for a gown in Montreal?
We recently came across Joanna Degr�ce's Bridal Shop and her interesting new approach to the traditional bridal boutique concept.

  • Affordable?
    The boutique is actually located in Joanna's home office, where she stocks and displays her dress samples. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual. You are welcome, along with your friends, to relax in a comfortable seating area and to enjoy a latte while trying on gowns!
    Joanna believes that by having an "in-home" bridal boutique she can eliminate the need for costly overhead, which translates into more affordable bridal gowns for the bride.
    • Her entire manufacturer-direct line is priced from $700-$1000.

  • Unique?
    • The gowns are carried by Joanna's exclusively, in Quebec.
    • Each dress is custom-made for the bride based on her precise measurements
      - eliminating the need for costly alterations.
    • The bride can further customise her gown, by adding a zipper or corset to create an even better fit.
    • Finally, you can also elect to modify the colour of the gown (white, ivory, or champagne); the colour of the beading can also be changed on various gowns, to suit your taste.

Marriage advice for the United States of America

No, I'm not offering marriage advice to every citizen of the land. But a good friend sent me an interesting piece of political writing from the New York Times, and pointed out the connections it made between Imago couples therapy and the way Professor J.M. Bernstein writes about anger. Bernstein's article looks at what he calls "The Very Angry Tea Party". Here's a quote. "This is the rage and anger I hear in the Tea Party movement; it is the sound of jilted lovers furious that the other ? the anonymous blob called simply ?government? ? has suddenly let them down."

Beauty Trend: Swarovski Henna?

Old meets new again, when New York City studio Akiyo Henna takes the traditional art of henna design and creates a new modern twist by creating one-of-a-kind shimmer body art that can be left as is or can be adorned with Swarovski crystals to give brides a extra glow on their wedding day.

Patterns range from the simple to the elaborate and can be placed anywhere on the bride's torso depending on how much skin the gown exposes. The most common body parts to have decorated include the arms, the back, the hands, or the shoulder and the collar. The artwork is waterproof and can last up to 10 days.

And then you "Validate", which doesn't mean any form of clerical processing, but just simply saying "You make sense, and the reason you make sense is..."

Amazing E-Session: "The Notebook"

Notebook movie inspired engagement photographs Montreal Canada

Blushing Bride Studio, Montr�al

"Amazing Engagements" month continues on bride.ca (- if you haven't voted on the best engagement photographs of 2010 yet, you still can!)
Today, we have something truly special though.. if these photos do not inspire you, nothing ever will! Two brilliant shooters from Blushing Bride Studio and an incredible, daring and creative couple, giving new meanings to the expression "when life imitates art"..

Cindy & Jean-Nicola, Chertsey, QC

We chose the movie The Notebook as inspiration for our engagement photo shoot for a few reasons. For one, Jean-Nicola's late grandparents had Alzheimer's disease and this movie touched close to home. Also, the chemistry of the young lovers in the movie was intense! And the era is very alluring to us - the fashion and way of life. We hope that our love endures all that life will throw at us, much like Noah and Allie. Oh, and we always fall asleep hand in hand (reference to the end of the movie)..
