Slipper satin - saved!I'm terribly excited about this dress redesign for Leila. The original dress, her grandmother-in-law-to-be's (still with me?), was also worn by her future mother-in-law for her own wedding. Leila wanted to honor tradition, but it was soooo much dress. It had a high neckline, billowy leg of mutton sleeves with lace cuffs, a peaked 1930s waistline, gathered skirt, and truly the longest train I have ever seen. The whole dress was made from drop-dead glamorous slipper satin, and it weighed about 10 pounds.What I did: dropped the lace neckline and bound it with a narrow bias strip of the satin. Rec...

Satin Cord Edge VeilSimple and Elegant, that’s why this has always been my favorite. Once, while shopping in an upscale bridal boutique, a chance encounter gave me the opportunity to help shave about $300 off a young bride’s day of serious shopping. An excited clerk came over to me (not knowing I had been in the business many years myself) and said a customer needed a second opinion on a veil, and would I give it? The bride peeked out under a waterfall of heavily embroidered tulle that extended over her shoulders, down her back, spilling out all over the floor, the way any self-respecting $4...

Best wedding gifts: Satin sheetsFiled under: Gifts and RegistriesRegistering for wedding gifts is your chance to pick out the things you want, but would never splurge on for yourself. It would be greedy of you to only register for top-dollar items, but when you register for your bedroom, why don't you add a few luxury items to the standard gifts on your list? If you've never slept on satin sheets, you don't know what you're missing. If you are lucky enough to own a set, it must be hard for you to sleep in any bed but your own. Nice satin sheets start at around $120 per set, so registering for something like this won't make y...
