One beautiful bride.  Thousands of stylish gowns.  What should you know when planning your walk on the white carpet?  Holli Ehrlich, co-founderWedding Podcast Network, talks with Julie Raimondi, Editor in Chief, and Anne Chertoff, Sr. Editor, of Brides.com.  They talk about bridal fashion, the designers, the wonderful variety of gowns, the looks and accessory statements featured on this season’s runway.  Our wedding experts Julie and Anne offer savvy tips, advice and recommendations you need to know when shopping for the dress of your dreams to express your  fashion point of view.

There is a gown for every bride:  pretty, sleek, chic, classic, elegant, sophisticated, sexy, romantic, fun, modern.  There are unique choices for the bride that really wants to get noticed.  Season after season the gown designers introduce a collection that’s fresh and new.  Spring 2010 offers a distinct feeling of exuberance.  A bride starts her adventure with the search for THE dress.  The influential editors of Brides.com talk about their appreciation of a couture designed wedding gown.  How important is the salesperson at the bridal salon?  Should you bring an entourage?  What is the real scoop about sample sales? Julie and Anne have the answers to these situations and more.

We discuss hues & hemlines, fabrics and silhouettes, destination wedding choices, ready-to-wear influence, and dramatic ways to personalize the perfect look from front to back, head to toe, plus  the shoulder, chest and waist.  Tired with strapless?  Is the ballgown for you and your wedding?  What do our editors love about gloves?  What not to put in the pockets?  There are many unexpected details and fashionable options that will enhance your feminine form.  Learn “the rules” when outfitting the bridesmaids, the mothers, and the groom.  What does wear again really mean?  Should you give your bridal party freedom or guidelines?  Throughout this episode you’ll hear important etiquette tips that encourage you to experience this day like no other.

Meet Michelle and Henry face to face on Planet Bride’s first video podcast. This dynamic sister-brother duo want you to add glamour to your big day and they tell you how to maximize the things that will have the most impact and exclude those that don’t.

The dress and how to look from head to toe. To spend or not to spend? Overdone or simplify? What one element can make you stand out – the veil, the earrings, the shoes? What does Henry predict will be the next big accessory for today’s stylish bride?

There’s something special in the air. How can you have the most memorable ceremony and reception? Henry and Michelle talk about key signature elements that will set your wedding apart from all others.

Here is Tara’s signature Lowcountry Lemonade recipe which can also be found in her beautiful book:

Fill a Zombie glass with plenty of crushed ice
Add 1 ounce Peach Schnapps
Fill remainder glass with lemonade (pink or regular depending on the color you want)
You can change the color to blue by using a small amount of Blue Curacao or to red by using Grenadine.
Use fresh mint to garnish or add a flower (not a poisonous one!)
Enjoy!!!
