The Ritz boasts luxury hotels from Europe to the Caribbean, where you can plan your dream wedding at some of the hottest locales, as well as locations across the United States, including Hawaii, Florida, New York and California. The Ritz-Carlton is a favorite among celebrities, too. Celebrity couple Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo, who announced their engagement late last year, discuss wedding planning in a recent article on People.com.

Although they haven’t decided on a wedding date, Vanessa Minnillo has her eyes set on a winter wedding at The Ritz:  ”[I saw] a wedding booklet about the Ritz-Carlton weddings that they do and it was a winter theme and it was beautiful. Something about winter, it’s one of my favorite seasons, it’s very romantic. The twinkle lights and the greenery and the snow.”

Bridal magazines and Weddings by The Ritz-Carlton stay abreast of current wedding trends and top honeymoon destinations.

Kate Middleton Glows in Reception Gown

Catherine Middleton, now the Duchess of Cambridge, wore not one, but two, bridal gowns by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen. Even if you weren’t a fan of the wedding dress she wore to marry Prince William, Kate Middleton’s reception gown was stunning. Simple and elegant! The princess bride was beaming as she headed to the evening reception at Buckingham Palace.

The Alexander McQueen strapless reception gown features white satin gazar with silver diamante embroidery at the waist and a circle skirt, creating a similar silhouette to her wedding gown. Kate Middleton paired it with a cropped angora sweater for added texture and sophistication. Her loosely curled locks framed her face. Amazingly, the newest royal decided to do her own bridal make-up for the big day after taking lessons from an expert :) Wish we could all be that brave! Even if we can’t afford two bridal gowns, we can dream can’t we? Love the idea of wearing an elegant wedding dress with a long train followed by a lovely reception gown to party the night away.

Advantage Bridal carries the perfect bridal accessories to complete your look, whether it’s regal, simple, classic or flirty. If you want to be a princess bride, bridal accessories such as veils and tiaras are essential in creating this look.

Bel Aire Bridal Veil & Tiara

Although you may not have royal lineage, you can certainly look like a royal bride on your wedding day. Just look to history to see the fashion of royal women, such as Princesses Diana, Grace Kelly and Elizabeth, who each made stunning brides as they married a true prince.

Today’s brides can capture the look of royalty with a few necessary accessories, particularly the veil and jeweled headpiece. For a sparkling hair accessory to complement any style bridal veil – whether chapel length, knee length or fingertip – tiaras, hair combs, hair pins and crowns make a statement on their own.

And you will look like a royal bride as you walk down the aisle and pose for the photographer. Rhinestones, crystals, pearls, beads and other jewels adorn the headpieces at Advantage Bridal, where brides can search for the perfect royal accessories.

Depending on your wedding dress, you can choose bridal accessories with a more eleborate or simple design. Let fashionable icons of the past and royal brides of yesteryear serve as inspiration as you put together your bridal ensemble. The look of royalty never goes out of style and is always classic.
