Kim Kardashian's marriage to Kris Humphries famously lasted 72 days, and was reported in the tabloids as being all about the big bucks paid by magazines for the bridal photos: it is a spectacle of a bride-to-be as entrepreneur, not as romantic heroine; the groom, in this scenario, is nothing but a prop.

Naomi Wolf

Quarrels often arise in marriages when the bridal gifts are excessive.

Antisthenes

Bridal wear has always been a passion of mine.

Ashley Nell Tipton

My father made bridal dresses, which he sold wholesale, and always wanted me to join him. He looked upon what I did as precarious and frivolous - except that he loved it when my name was in the papers.

Denis Norden

I'd say I play on old world couture as opposed to modern day bridal; there's something very timeless and appealing in that.

Emilia Wickstead

I want to offer a wide range of classic and contemporary bridalwear to suit all personalities, readily available to try on.

Emilia Wickstead

Every other 16-year-old girl wanted to look at bridal magazines; I could not have been more bored with the notion.

Evangeline Lilly

If you've chosen someone to be in your bridal party, she should be a good enough friend that she does not want to upstage you.

Georgina Chapman

She has a wash and wear bridal gown.

Henny Youngman

It's the contemporary woman that movies don't know what to do with, other than bathe her in a bridal glow in romantic comedies where both the romance and the comedy are artificial sweeteners.

James Wolcott

If you want to give a tangible present, but you know the recipient wants cash, give a little bit of both. This strategy is helpful for occasions that involve a public opening of presents, like a bridal or baby shower. You can give something that can be wrapped and opened, along with a card containing a check.

Jean Chatzky

Accessories are the perfect way to add something special. A hair comb or a beaded clutch can be a lovely detail to finish your bridal look.

Jenny Packham

There is definitely a 'red carpet moment' to a bride's wedding day, but when designing for bridal, it is important to focus on the details that will captivate and capture the imagination of the bride - she has to fall in love with the gown.

Jenny Packham

From the 1920s through to the 1970s, bridal was related to the fashion of the times. Then in the 1980s, it became more historical, decadent, and ornate.

Jenny Packham

With the bridal wear I love the fact that people show me their pictures about what I've done for their special day. It's lovely that I'm a part of someone's history.

Jenny Packham

I think with bridal fashion, it moves very slowly.

Jenny Packham

When we first started doing bridal, I found the bridal business very archaic; it was very removed from general fashion.

Jenny Packham

I always see bridal as a cultural thing: you have to get under the skin to find out what is needed in that market. For instance, the Italians love plain dresses, and the Americans loved beaded ones.

Jenny Packham

I'd love to design bridal dresses.

Lauren Conrad

Designing bridal is perfect for me, because black is my least favorite color, if you could call it a color.

Lela Rose

I was lucky enough to create my own dress, deciding on every single design detail. But, even if you don't have a custom dress, you can still create a signature wedding-day look with personalization - a belt, altering the sleeves, etc. But, when creating your bridal style, the most important thing to remember is to make it feel like you.
