A lovely day in Italy (post by Desiree)

Nothing can beat delicious gelato and a gorgeous bride in the colorful streets of ITALY! The other week I had an INCREDIBLE time photographing a beautiful Norwegian model in Northern Italy, on Lake Garda. Whoa is right!!!!  It was so much fun roaming around the city of Bardolino and the absolute amazing hotels and exclusive venues with Cathrine of Byrllupsbyraaet.  Cathrine is one of the FIRST wedding planners in Norway.  We're working on showing how weddings can be something extra amazing and that it's possible to have your dream wedding!  Benedicthe is getting married next month and is also an awesome fashion designer and blogger.  A special thanks to Brudesalongen i Stavanger for loaning us the beautiful Lusan Mandungas wedding gown for the shoot...and for letting us fly it all the way to Italy.

Bridal Fair Madness! (post by Desiree)

In case you didn't get a chance to head out and visit us at one of the bridal fairs last Saturday, here is a little peek into our European Booth!  The Rivets crew had a booth at Den store Bryllupsfesten (The big wedding party) and MN Bride's, Look of Love.  I had such an AWESOME time meeting all the bride-to-be's, grooms, designers, and stylists.  I was also lucky enough to be right next to Chelsea's Cool Cakes...which kept an incredible aroma of sweet chocolate cake surrounding me all day.  Yes, yes I ate lots of samples.....Oh dear. Don't forget // You can still get in on the fair offer if you book by this Friday!  Just give us a hollar!
