And let get things straight, ladies! For that fabulous party, when Cinderella got to know Prince Charming, the fairy had provided her with the most wonderful dress in the whole world. Just remember: she was not yet a princess and the party was a ball. So, which gown did she wear? Well, the Princess style was still to be invented by her and the dear fairy, very well fashion conscious had appropriately given her the Ball Gown!

Since those old good Cinderella days, the Ball Gown has evolved in its neckline and sleeves, keeping untouchable a small waist and its skirt full of petticoats. Queen Victoria told us the story, Christian Dior reinvented the dress in the 50's and till this day it remains a classicfavorite, the most romantic weddings' gown choice!

Let us just be aware that this silhouette is the one to flatter women of average height and good shaped waist. Such voluminous skirt will only overwhelm a petite bride. Therefore, little girls, wear your long pink dresses with very round skirts while you can!

You do not have to spend a fortune as for the {SATC wedding cake} we have shown you a few days ago. There are a lot of different other ways to reinterpret the special theme «Winter« within your cake. Think of snow flakes, ice crystals, fir cones and much more. Here are some very beautiful examples of winter wedding cakes we'd love to see at a real cold winter wedding!

Talking about the {SATC Wedding Cake with Swarovski Crystals} in our last blog, Michaela would like to show you what she meant with «getting ideas when she saw this cake« .... Have a look at some details of one of Michaela's weddings when the bride was looking for a real white winter wedding in the snow. And there was snow, believe us, you can't image how much!!!

| Food | SATC Die Swarovski Torte

Auch wenn es schon länger her ist, aber die umwerfende Hochzeitstorte aus | Sex and the City 2 | müssen wir euch unbedingt zeigen. Kreiert wurde sie von | Ron Ben-Israel | und seinem Team in einem Arbeitsprozess von unglaublichen 450 Stunden. Das Besondere an der Torte sind die - auch wenn wir es manchmal fast nicht mehr hören können - | Swarovski Kristalle |. Ja, im richtigen Moment sind sie einfach immer noch unentbehrlich.

Und das führte in diesem Fall zu einer funkelnden Torte, zu der man sowohl im Winter als auch im Sommer das passende Umfeld kreieren kann. Michaela, ganz in Ihrem Element als Hochzeitsplanerin, schwärmt schon von Kerzen in riesigen Gläsern, Kristalllustern als Dekorationsobjekte auf weiss eingekleideten Podesten und vielen, vielen weissen Blüten. Ach ja, und die Torte, die kostete 32.000,- Dollar ...

Because not every bride is suited to every dress ... The A-line wedding gown is narrower at the top, flaring gently wider toward the bottom thereby resembling the letter A. There is mostly no horizontal seam in the waist, making its lines uninterrupted. A-line dresses work well on most figure types; it emphasizes the bust, it is ideal for small brides wanting to look longer and disguises well bottom-heavy figures. And it is a great alternative to Empire dresses!
