Barbie has always been an inspiration. Dressing her was part of ever girl's dream.

As you know, all women at all ages do not feel their ages anymore. The young girl feels older, and the older woman feels younger.

The more traditional bride still prefers white or ivory, but the young girls... seem to like the idea of using colors.

My friends are my inspiration, and all of them are true friends that support me. On a daily basis, I know that I have my friends to rely on.

Try everything on, even gowns that you don't think you'll love. You might be surprised and fall in love with a gown that you weren't drawn to at first.

I've seen petite brides carry a ballgown, and I have also seen plus-size women carry a ballgown, though you wouldn't think so.
