Multifunctional Bridesmaid Dress
TWOBIRDS Bridesmaid by Ariane Goldman


Bored of having the exact same look for your wedding party? Wondering if there is any other option to dressing up each and every bridesmaid of yours? Here comes TWOBIRDS Bridesmaid. The owner, Ariane, faced the same issue - had the same problem of getting dresses where her bridesmaids can wear again and again even after the wedding - WITH STYLES.


During her own wedding in 2007, she came of with the multifunctional dresses for her bridesmaids. They had the exact same dress, however, it was up to her bridesmaids to create their own personal look that fit their style the most.

Ariane and her four bridesmaids in multifunctional dresses posed at her wedding day.


Since then, Ariane founded TWOBIRDS with a major motive "being a bridesmaid does not have to forgo personal style". Everyone is unique and should not be dressed like each other, but to show off our personality.

Twobirds had been featured in magazines, tv shows, as well as some popular fashionista blogs. Here are articles featured in bridal and fitness magazines such as California Brides, InStyle Weddings, and SELF.



To start dressing your wedding party, choose the color that matches your wedding theme color. Here are fabric colors available at TWOBIRDS.



Fun TIME - Start the WRAPPING!
Bridesmaids, are you girls ready to choose style that matches your personality/style the most?

Wedding Gift
Culinary Adventure: Cooking 101 For Newlyweds

by Gilda Mulero from Naturally-Tasty


Are you in search of a unique gift for your family/friend's upcoming wedding? Great! I just came across this special wedding gift idea introduced by Gilda Mulero, Natural Foods Chef (New York) in her website, naturally-tasty.

It is Cooking 101 For Newlyweds, a private cooking class given by professional chef right at the newlywed's home. Each class is uniquely customized to the couple's interests and skill level.

A professional chef will pay a visit to the couple's home and help organize their new kitchen gadgets presented by their wedding guests. The chef will teach the couple how to make good use of their available space and tools. The class includes a tour to the local market as well as to teach the couple how to choose the right ingredients to fill up their pantry and 'stomach'!

Some couples might want to be the host and throw party at their house, the chef would be able to help them by selecting the comfort menu for great family and friends memories.

Lastly, the professional chef can even help the couple to choose new culinary equipments from their wedding registry based on the couple's lifestyle and interests.

What a wonderful and thoughtful gift for the newlyweds!

I would love to have one too!

Dress Up The Party
Kayla & Matthew Fall Wedding



Here's my pick for Kayla's Fall Wedding Gown.



How about the groom and his groomsmen? Let see...


Last but not least is to dress up the wedding party (groomsmen, bridesmaids, flower girls, and ring bearer) beautifully! I truly love the idea of dressing the bridesmaids with the same theme color (or come in different shades) in different styles. Every bridesmaid is unique, and therefore, they should put on dresses that flatter their body shapes the best.


I can't wait to unveil their Fall Wedding in 10.20.2010!



Happy Planning!
