House of Brides unveils their newest designer collection, Cynthia Rowley Bridesmaids. House of Brides’ 6 Chicagoland salons will feature the Fall collection with samples starting to arrive June 2010.

House of Brides’ President, Eva H. Buziecki purchased the Fall collection after viewing the styles at the National Bridal Market™ in Chicago this Spring. The National Bridal Market™ is a show for retailers to preview and purchase designer collections for the upcoming season. “The collection was impressive and stood-out in the crowd of other bridesmaid dress collections showing at the Market”, said Eva Buziecki.

The Cynthia Rowley Bridesmaid collection is a division of The Dessy Group, a leading wedding apparel design house. The Dessy Group includes the Dessy Collection, After Six, Alfred Sung Bridesmaids, Destinations Bridal, and Dessy Flowergirls lines. Cynthia Rowley Bridesmaids is their latest addition to the ever-growing company.

Cynthia Rowley Bridesmaids are inspired by the designer Cynthia Rowley’s runway collections. The Cynthia Rowley Collection is headed by designer, Cynthia Rowley and includes everything from women’s wear to handbags to beauty products. This newest endeavor in the bridal industry has produced designer bridesmaid dresses, affordably priced and sensibly styled. As House of Brides President, Eva H. Buziecki states, “Cynthia Rowley Bridesmaids are truly wear-again dresses”.

The dresses are available in sizes 0 – 28W with many styles orderable in over 70 colors. Prices will range around $200.00.

Eva Buziecki expects a fantastic response to the Cynthia Rowley Bridesmaids collection at House of Brides salons. The complete collection arrives at House of Brides Summer 2010.

Master the 4 Cs of diamonds and take the stress our engagement ring shopping!

Cut
A diamond’s cut is the number, placement, shape, and craftsmanship of the facets. The cut is especially important as it determines the brilliance of the stone. In other words, it’s what puts the sparkle in her eye!

Color
Diamonds actually come in an array or colors beyond the widely popular clear stone. Diamonds can range in color from Deep Blues to Canary Yellow. While color adds extra interest to an engagement ring, it is considered trendy. Be sure she prefers a colored diamond.

Clarity
The clarity refers to how clear or “clean” the diamond is from imperfections. These imperfections are examined by the naked eye or magnified using a jeweler’s loupe.

Carat
A diamond’s weight is measured in carats, often described as points. For example, 100 points equals 1 carat.

Dale Buziecki’s Bets:
Buy the best engagement ring within your budget. Don’t go into debt trying to impress your intended. More expenses follow the engagement so buy smart!

Personalize your Wedding reception with a signature cocktail! Couples are adding signature cocktails to accent their wedding’s theme décor.

Ask your caterer or reception site add a signature cocktail to match your Wedding’s style!

A martini is an ideal choice for your signature cocktail because of its versatility. Here are a few favorite twists using the classic martini!

Destination Weddings
Beachy, breezy weddings need a tropical drink. Try a Mango martini made with Mango rum for a taste of the islands.

Las Vegas Theme
What’s more Vegas than a Dirty Martini? Serve this extra dirty and let the good times roll!

Candy & Sweets Theme
Satisfy your sweet tooth with a luxe Chocolate martini. Use Godiva® liqeur for a decadent touch.

Color-Infused Drinks
Is your wedding color Yellow? Try a Lemon Drop Martini.

Green hued? Try an Apple Martini?

Pink? A Cosmopolitan, of course!

Dale Buziecki’s Bets:
Order special favors to accompany your signature cocktail like monogrammed drink napkins or
swizzle sticks! Visit www.houseofbrides.com for more favor and gift ideas!

Ask any groom-to-be what they look forward to the most about the Wedding and the answer will be the same. The Honeymoon. Fess up, Brides…we know you can’t wait to get out that Ball gown and into a bikini! Check-out my top Honeymoon destinations!

O’ahu, Hawaii
A classic spot for Honeymoon travel, O’ahu is the original in beach vacations. O’ahu is the second northern most island of Hawaii and home to the famous Waikiki Beach. O’ahu is rich in beaches and offers some of the best snorkeling and diving in Hawaii. Most notably is Hanauma Bay with its clear, turquoise pools and exotic underwater life. Take a day to dry-off and visit the U.S.S. Arizona Pearl Harbor. This monument commemorates the Japanese attack marking the start of World War II.

Dale Buziecki’s Bets
Relaxing is a definite must while on your Honeymoon. But don’t forget to take advantage of once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Like taking a hike around the Diamond Head volcano or strolling the Foster Botanical Garden in O’ahu!

Antigua, Caribbean
Antigua sits in the middle of the Caribbean islands and boasts one the most idyllic climates in the World. Temperatures typically stay in the mid-80s but can reach the 90s in the hot weather months of May to November. Remember to plan accordingly. Hurricane season stretches from June to November, which also means the best prices for travel.
365 sugar-white sand beaches encircle Antigua, each with their own attractions. Visit Half Moon Bay for windsurfing, Dickinson Bay for dining and entertainment, or Five Islands for sunbathing…clothing-optional.

Dale Buziecki’s Bets
Take the stress out of Honeymoon-planning and book your stay at an all-inclusive hotel. Everything is paid for before you arrive so you don’t have to worry about dining or drink tabs. Just sit back and enjoy!

Florida Keys, Florida
Traveling long distances or even out of the country isn’t necessary when paradise is so close! Just 3 hours from New York, the Florida Keys is nestled within the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. The island chain features the popular islands of Key West and Ishlamorada. Visit Key West for the eccentric atmosphere enjoyed by writers, artists, and treasure hunters for decades. Ishlamorada is a fisherman’s dream and dotted with beautiful purple bougainvilleas.

The beaches of Key West can rival the Caribbean but partake in some of the islands’ other popular activities. Go scuba diving and snorkeling in Key Largo for one-on-one encounters with over 500 species of fish. Or visit North America’s only living coral barrier reef in Marathon.

Dale Buziecki’s Bets
Score major points with your new husband with a deep sea fishing expedition! Fish the bountiful seas of Key West while enjoying the day on a gorgeous fishing boat.
