Charlene Wittstock’s or Kate Middleton’s Wedding Dress?

This year is rich for Royal weddings, first, Kate Middleton now Duchess of Cambridge kept us waiting in anticipation to see her special wedding dress by Sarah Burton, and just a couple of days ago Charlene Wittstock now Princess Charlene of Monaco sparkled the whole principality in Giorgio Armani Prive white wedding dress.

Royal weddings remind us of fairy tales we all used to love when we were kids and these two weddings especially have something in common with “Cinderella”, both brides were not from Royal families. They also give us yet another proof that everything is possible, even to marry a real prince. Ahh, fairy tales

So, if you were dreaming to marry a prince one day, what kind of wedding dress you imagined to wear? And what do you think about the wedding dress choices the two brides have made?

To tell you the truth, when I first saw Kate Middleton’s wedding dress I was disappointed. Maybe because there were such a huge fuss in the press about the dress, everyone was so eager to see it. All this buzz raised my expectations really high and when I saw it on TV, I was disappointed. I thought that the dress was too simple to wear on a Royal wedding, I expected it to be over the top, something that you won’t see on a friend’s wedding.

But now, when I look at the dress, after all these wedding speculations are over, I actually think it was nice, the lace top was exquisite and the gown definitely suited the Duchess of Cambridge perfectly.

After being mildly disappointment with Kate Middleton’s wedding dress, I was not expecting anything from Charlene Wittstock’s wedding gown. And maybe that’s why I loved it so much! The dress was exactly like I pictured Royal wedding dress should be: adorned with 40,000 Swarovski crystals, gold and pearl hand embroidery on the front and a very long train. Luxurious and chic!

I have read some comments on other sites that the neckline is wrong for girls with broad shoulders, but I think it somehow worked for Princess Charlene of Monaco and looked great on her.

So, rich girls, what do you think about the Royal wedding dresses? Which one did you like the most?

If you want to see more pictures of Princess Charlene wedding dress you can see them here: fashionfame.com and Duchess of Cambridge wedding dress here: fashionista.com At least that’s where I took the pictures from.

Oscar de la Renta Wedding Dresses

Oscar de la Renta wedding dress is the synonym of luxury and elegance in bridal fashion. His wedding gowns are often strapless with classic silhouettes, usually made of embroidered organza and laces. I saw one article about 7 the most influential bridal designers and Oscar de la Renta was the only man on that list.

Oscar de la Renta wedding dress was even featured in the first Sex And The City movie, when Carrie was working on a photo shoot for Vogue. I just love this episode of the movie.

Celebrities also choose Oscar de la Renta wedding dresses for their special day, for example, Katherine Heigl walked down the aisle in a custom-made Oscar de la Renta gown during her wedding to musician Josh Kelley on Dec. 23, 2008.

The same year (May 10, 2008) Jenna Bush, daughter of the 43rd U.S. President George W. Bush, wore an Oscar de la Renta gown during her wedding to Henry Hager.

Marbella – wedding spot!

Marbella is not only place for rich girls, glamorous parties and fancy beach clubs, but it is also a picturesque spot to have a wedding. I just found out that one of my favorite singers Julio Iglesias got married in Marbella.
As the official statement says on Julio Iglesias website – Julio and his girlfriend Miranda got married on August 24th in the private ceremony in the parish of Virgen del Carmen of Marbella. The newlyweds will settle in the village of Ojen, not far from Marbella, where they have a large estate, Iglesias’ agent told the Press.

According to the number of beautiful white doves hanging around the beach, a lot of people decide to marry in Marbella.
As to me, I would definitely organize wedding on the beach. It is so romantic. I still remember the wedding of my friends, which I was honored to attend, the celebration took place on the beach in Antibes. It was just like in a fairytale.
What about you?! Where would you like to get married?

Yours,

Rich Girl

P.S. I love this song by Julio Iglesias. I don’t know Spanish good enough to understand all the words, but I can guess that it is a beautiful song about love! Enjoy!

Rich Girl’s Evening Dress picks for Weddings

Wedding season is in the full motion now and I already got two invitations. Two of my great and rich girls are getting married this July. I am very excited and happy for them, but now is the most interesting part – find the perfect DRESS! I am really glad that I am not one of the bridesmaids, because it is the most pathetic thing to be seen in the same dress as the other girls. Just think about it!! Girls will die if someone will turn up to the party in the similar dress, but they are actually very happy and excited to be a bridesmaid and wear these awful dresses on such major event like Wedding!! No thanks, I prefer to be unique and choose my own dress and look.
And I am also happy I am not the bride either, so there is no need to freak out about the perfect dress for the once in a lifetime moment and photographs which will be shown to my grandchildren (if I’ll have any). Still I am going to be among the guests, among the rich and gorgeous girls who will definitely make an effort to look their best, especially if they haven’t found the right guy yet. And you know, that Weddings and dinners at friends place are the best spots to find the right guy?! Not the clubs or pubs, c’mon girls! Another plus for Weddings and the right guys, is that this is actually the occasion when guys think about marriage. They look at the happy groom and beautiful bride and think:”Well, maybe it is time for me to stop fooling around and hook up with a nice girl.” And here you are, he is almost ready to tie the knot and you need to be 100% ready to catch him here at this particular moment, because if the next morning he will wake up alone with hangover he will think:”Fuck weddings! I am better on my own.” And that’s it, gone with the wind.

So, have you actually realized how crucial it is to look your best on your friends weddings? Also, if not counting the guys, there are a lot of mean girls hanging around who will be giving you those look overs! God, I hate those, they will not be satisfied with themselves ever and you don’t want to make them happy. You want them to try harder next time, you want them to be jealous, because in the end these girls are only capable of jealousy and nothing else. You are the Queen of the night (after the bride, of course, but she is too busy posing for photographs and talking to countless relatives).
Ok, so the dress. Did you actually know that there are special rules for dresses for weddings?! You can’t wear black and white, jeans, anything too sexy and revealing, and almost always it is black tie dress code. Of course your friends may plan a wonderful wedding in their back yard, but the majority of the weddings are black tie events, so dress appropriately.
So, I picked some dresses I really liked, it was hard because I love black dresses, but if you try hard you can still find what you like in different colors. So, my Rich Girl’s best dress picks for weddings are as follows:

Donna Karan

My first pick is this gorgeous red dress by Donna Karan. I am sure that this dress will guarantee you to be in the center of everyone’s attention. I love the color and the top of this dress. All in all it makes a perfect look of respectable and rich woman, not a girl I guess.

Carolina Herrera

My other favorite picks are ultimate feminine designs by Carolina Herrera. The moment I saw these pictures I fall in love with these dresses. Among these two beautiful dresses my favorite is purple one, it is soooo cute and has a character of a rich and flawless girl.

Versace

Versace dresses are always super sexy! I loved these gold and yellow dresses for their deep slit which shows your leg when you are walking (remember Carrie’s dress from Sex and the City 2 when she went to dinner with Aidan). Can’t decide which one of these two spectacular dresses I love the most. These dresses are for Rich Girls who love to make an effective entrance! The moment you will walk in the room all conversations will be stopped.

Roberto Cavalli

I loved this Roberto Cavalli dress from the first sight. The great thing about this dress is that you can play with accessories and depending on what look you will choose this dress could be equally cool as evening gown as well as casual dress for vacation getaway. Loved this flower print.

Issa

I think this purple dress by Issa is ideal choice for weddings and other black tie events. Love the color and the design.

Notte by Marchesa

I love this dress by Marchesa, because of the color and the top of the dress. I think it is very interesting, but not sure that you will be able to stand out of the crowd and attract a lot of hungry men glances in this dress. Don’t even know why I think so, but dress itself is gorgeous.

Matthew Williamson

I picked this dress for my search for perfect dress for my rich girl’s wedding, because of it’s amazing print and interesting design. Not sure though that strapless top will look amazing on me. Need to try it on to be 100% sure.

Gucci

And now my cute, super sexy little dresses! I know that on weddings you have a dress code and you can’t show up in these see through dresses, but I soooo loved them, that decided to pick them for rehearsal dinners or for hen parties. They are so cool! I think the second black dress is a must have for every rich girl.

And yes, black spectacular, showy, sexy, impressive dress. Gucci – I love all your designs!! It’s a pity that this dress is black, it would definitely would be my number 1 choice!

So, these are my picks. It was so hard to find these dresses and I know that it will be even harder to choose only two of them, but at least now I know what I want. Now I need to hand this list to my shopper and see what I will get in the end.

When I’ll get the dress I will search for shoes and handbag The search is never ending and pleasant.

I am looking forward to July and all the weddings. It will be so much fun!!
What about you?! Any cool wedding parties planned for this summer? What about the dresses? Did you like any of my picks or have you got your personal favorites to share with us?! Do not hesitate to leave your comments below!

Yours,

Rich Girl

Vera Wang – #1 wedding dress choice of Rich Girls

Summer is the official wedding season all over the world. Not sure about Australia, though I think it’s the perfect time to get married – the sun is shining, it’s warm and green all around, everyone is happy, beautiful and tanned. Love is in the air! I have no intentions to get married this summer, but I love to flip through wedding dresses every season, just in case.

The first name that comes to my mind when I think about luxurious and exquisite wedding dress, the perfect choice for Rich Girls, is Vera Wang! It is the first stop on your way to long and exciting search for your one and only wedding dress. The most significant dress you will wear in your life! I have a feeling though that after you visit Vera Wang’s bridal salon you will look no further. Anyway, it doesn’t matter how many weddings you will have in your life, each one will be special and you will need a perfect and unique wedding dress.

Vera Wang started her luxury salon in 1990 at the esteemed Carlyle Hotel on New York City’s Madison Avenue, showcasing her innovative bridal collection. Recently, Vera Wang has opened her first west coast store with a beautiful salon on Melrose Avenue.

As it states on Vera Wang official website:

Vera Wang collections are positioned at the highest end of the luxury market. Driven by artistic, modern and luxurious design and style, couture-like quality and a high level of customer service, Vera Wang’s collections hold impeccable customer appeal.

Vera Wang is a super star of wedding dresses and a lot of celebrities have called upon Vera for her big day.

2009 Vera Wang brides include Ivanka Trump, Khloe Kardashian, Alyssa Milano, Ali Larter, Kara DioGuardi, Kara Dioguardi and Natasha Bedingfield.

My favorites from the wedding gowns made by Vera Wang for celebrities are classic Ivanka Trump’s dress:

and Alyssa Milano’s:

If you have decided you want to have Vera Wang’s dress on during your Big Day, prepare to spend thousands of dollars. Vera Wang Luxe Collection starts at $6,000, with some dresses costing as much as $12,000 and more. However, you can also find cheaper dresses range from $2000 to $7000. But we are not going to look this way, right?!

Vera Wang Wedding Dresses are available at her flagship bridal salons and department stores such as Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Barney’s. Check out VeraWang.com for a store locater and more information.

It was hard for me to pick My favorite Top 7 Vera Wang wedding dresses, all of them are so beautiful and different. You can see for yourself on VeraWang.com.
I always prefer white fairy princess dresses for wedding, that’s why my picks are as follows (although I still made an exception, I loved this Deidre dress):

Update: In 2010 one more rich and famous girl tied the knot in Vera Wang wedding dress – Chelsea Clinton.

(Photo: Barbara Kinney Photography)

She was wearing a spectacularly embellished strapless Vera Wang wedding gown with full princess skirt, tiara-like silver and rhinestone belt, a tied-bow back and a waist-length veil. A lot of pictures from the wedding could be found here.

As well as Chelsea Clinton, the other celebrity rich girls preferred to tie the knot in Vera Wang wedding dresses, such as LaLa Vasquez, Hilary Duff and Alicia Keys. Let’s see what exquisite celebrity brides the 2011 year will bring us?!

Actually, I really enjoyed writing about wedding dresses I will now start working on collecting accessories and shoes for the perfect wedding
