What’s the one thing everyone talks about during and after a wedding? The fashion! What the Mrs-to-be and her maids wear is always a hot topic of discussion. Well Siri has some brilliant bridal creations for bridesmaids as well as a brand spankin’new Fall Bridal Gown collection that will leave everyone singing all sorts of praise for the girls and their attire. These contemporary and timeless dresses are the perfect combination of fine silk fabrics, elegant details and…previously thought to be impossible…stylish comfort.

Every rocking party, whether it be an engagement bash, wedding celebration or anniversary soiree needs some good wine to get the good times rolling. And boy do we have the perfect wedding-party wine for you!  Monogamy Wines’ Cabernet Sauvignon, with its slightly toasty blend is the perfect pairing for prime rib, steaks, burgers, and spaghetti and meatballs. It’s even a favorite of Brides’ Magazine who recommended it in their August issue! And the Chardonnay has hints of apples, pears and pineapple and goes just perfectly with seared scallops, fried chicken, or pizza bianco. Mmmm, yum!

Besides being perfectly delicious, Monogamy Wines has an adorable website where you can send a love note to your sweetheart (how romantic!) or take a quick quiz to find out if out if you are more of a romantic (Monogamy) or racy (Monogamy’s naughtier sister wine, PromisQous). Ohh la-la! So take a peek and a sip and see why everybody is falling truly, madly, deeply in love with Monogamy Wines.

With all the details that go into a wedding, a busy bride needs a place where she can find everything from Favors, to Gifts for the Bridesmaids and Groomsmen, Reception and Ceremony Accessories and all the other stuff that goes into making your event special and personalized.

And because adding a monogram or personalization adds some pizzaz to pretty much everything, most items can be personalized, engraved or monogrammed. Many for free!
