Sneak Peek at Hilary Duff's Wedding Photos

Remember how we said we hoped Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie will release official pictures of their wedding day? Well we got our hands on some of the photos that will be in OK magazine released on August 30th, yup, we're that goooooood.

We love everything about this wedding. Hilary and Mike had Mindy Weiss as their wedding planner which was a good thing because Hilary said she had only been to one other wedding before in her entire life so she really had no idea what she wanted. But let's be serious, the girl is very stylish and has grown up designing her own fashion line so we knew her wedding would not fall short of spectacularly stylish. Sunset ceremony, lush fabrics, huge blooms, sparkling jewels and soft candle light.... Love love love !

The dresses were breathtaking and echoed the soft, elegant feel of the evening. Vera Wang designed both the bride's dress and the bridesmaids dresses.

Hilary said she wanted a "deconstructed look" as opposed to prim and proper and perfect so Vera designed her an uber romantic yet stylish mermaid-type dress of blush silk tulle and organza. Vera coined it perfectly when she described it as "sexy garden party". Fun fact, Hilary decided at the last minute to wear a Vera Wang veil with her ensemble. Great choice !

Enjoy some of the photos now, but don't forget to pick up your issue of OK Magazine on August 30th to enjoy some more photos of this ridiculously stunning affair.

The Summer of Vera !

This has definitely been the summer of Vera Wang. Another one of her dreamy designs was seen on Hillary Duff this past weekend as she wed Canadian hockey player (and former Ottawa Senator) Mike Comrie. The two got married by candlelight in an outdoor evening ceremony in Santa Barbara. How romantic !

A witness was quoted as saying “It was one of the most beautiful weddings I've ever seen. Absolutely stunning. They thought of every last detail and it was an incredible sight”. We wedding planners love the details- it’s what your guests really pick up on that sets your wedding apart from others.

The pictures that have been leaked are grainy so we’re hoping the couple releases some officially so we can see Hillary’s gorgeous gown and all the elegant wedding day details.

And the Brides Wore...Vera !

Vera Wang had quite the weekend. Two celebrity brides wore her gowns to their weddings-two very different weddings, two very different brides, naturally; two very different dresses.

Chelsea Clinton got married on Saturday in front of 400 guests in Rhinebeck NY wearing two Vera Wang dresses. The dress she wore to the ceremony was
a gorgeous strapless silk organza gown with a draped tulle bodice and an embellished belt. After the ceremony, Chelsea changed into a tulle Grecian-inspired gown with a black ribbon belt and a criss-cross back for the reception.

Speaking of Grecian-inspired gowns, Grammy award winning songstress Alicia Keys married her music-producer boyfriend Swiss Beatz, in a super-private ceremony in the Mediterranean. Alicia glided down the aisle in a breathtaking ivory silk, Grecian-inspired gown designed by Wang just for her. Beautiful jewel detailing on the back of her dress was complimented by crystal-encrusted flat sandals and a gorgeous headband finishing off the 'Goddess' look.

The two dresses suited each bride, at each wedding perfectly. Wang to most is an artist, to those in the fashion industry; an inspiration, but to brides lucky enough to wear her creations, she is simply known as their 'fairy Godmother'.
