TWILIGHT WEDDING FEVER & St. Pucchi Bridal Show

  With The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn premiere/wedding event of the century mere hours away, Luxe Gal Maureen Tokeson-Martin finds herself reminiscing over one of her favorite bridal designers St. Pucchi!

Rani Totman, designer of St. Pucchi, incorporates sparkling jewels, delicate laces, classic bustles and feminine silhouettes to complete a fantasy look for every bride. Luxe Gal was invited to the lovely Essex Hotel in Manhattan to view the collection.

Rani has found that whether a bride is a celebrity or not, her wedding day is her day to live her dream. She advises women to follow their heart when they shop for a wedding dress.

Rani is not a stranger to the world of celebrity brides. She designed the wedding dress worn by Lisa Kudrow during the last season of Friends. Rani also designed a wedding dress for actress Tara Reid.

So what tips does Rani have for the upcoming flock of brides? Rani envisions something a little cheeky for those who like to make a fashion statement, such as a gown with sequins and feathers. The look is fitted, edgy and definitely aisle-stopping. For the classic girl, Rani suggests a strapless ball gown with a cathedral train, in an embossed fabric with a touch of lightness to give a “float on air” feeling. Accessories should include heavy chunky jewelry.

For the second-time bride who has “been there and done white” Rani suggests opting for color. Look for gowns in lilac, ecru and even metallics. After viewing the St. Pucchi collection, we can see that it will ring true to every woman, whether she is the girl next door or the celebrity on the red carpet.

Ultimately, your wedding day is all about you and following your heart to bring your fantasy to life. It’s the day that you are the star and all eyes are on you. Of course, it can be a stressful time as well, so brides-to-be, take a little time out for yourselves: read a trashy novel; run a bubbly bath or go online for a little CheekyBingo.
