My name is Onida Cruz. I am the quintessential Taurus female! I'm addicted to romance novels I subscribe to Harrequin and receive 4 each month, Manhattan's Garment District, winter Caribbean beach vacations, monthly spa days, and celebrity gossip blogs the YBF and Perez Hilton being my favorites! I love to spend QT with my baby girl and sisters. I wear dresses 90% of the time-- there is something about just putting on one garment and going that just works for me.
I enjoy the luxuries of life (I swoon for Bottega Veneta, Vivenne Tam, and Max Mara). I driven to succeed and never been one to settle for just good enough. I am all about going hard or going home.
Event planning, designing, being a new mommy, I can do it all and not break a sweat. Stress . . . What stress? Nothing a three hour spa appointment can not fix.
This blog is a reflection of all things I love about planning special events. So sit back, sip a glass of sweet tea while scrolling throught the pages of my blog. Happy Planning!
Cheers,
Onida
Queen Victoria's Dress Sets a New Standard
Queen Victoria married Albert of Saxe in 1840, and wore what would then have been considered a flamboyant white gown. Of course, this did not start the tradition immediately; however, many women saw this as a statement of class and style, and copied the Queen by also getting married in white.
The white wedding dress in those days had nothing to do with being virtuous - it was all about wealth. Getting married in a white, extravagant gown was a sign that you could afford to buy a dress that you would never be able to wear again because of its style and color (whites were not easy to clean in those days as they are today!).
Wedding Dresses of Different colors: A Bit of Folklore
As with many other things in life, there is much folklore and legend surrounding the various other colors that brides have been known to wed in. One old rhyme seems to sum up these notions:
