Adding "Bling" to Your Closet with Hangers


In addition to the many clothes that adorn our closets ladies, how about adding a little "bling" to your closet with hangers, yes hangers.  During my search for locating luxury vendors for An Intimate Bridal Affair Chicago, I came across Hangers Couture.  Hangers Couture are designer beaded hangers and a are a great way to display find garments or delicate fabrics, and will add that feminine touch to any Bride or Bridesmaid's closet and home.

Hangers Couture was founded by Brittney Zeller.  She was inspired by a trip to Scandinavia. Exploring her family roots brought her to a quaint seaside village in Sweden.  She came upon a boutique that carried linens and home decor also had a beautiful display of lingerie and plush robes all hanging on elegant beaded hangers. The hangers drew her to the display, as she had never seen clothes showcased in such an exquisite way. Throughout the rest of her travels in Scandinavia, she found that displaying clothes on beaded hangers was not unique to that one store. Realizing that she had never seen them in the United States, she wanted to find a way to bring them to closets and boutiques stateside.

Always Struggling to find unique gifts for occasions such as: baby showers, bridal showers, bachelorette parties, birthdays, holidays, house warming gifts, just to name a few, Brittney realized these unique hangers are the perfect gift for the "girl that has everything." They add "bling" to your closet, and are a great way to display your beautiful wardrobe. They are also functional by preventing thin straps from slipping. If you are looking to create the "wow" factor at your next gift giving event, Hangers Couture is your answer.

I am so humbled and honored to have Hangers Couture at An Intimate Bridal Affair in January.  If you are a bride to be you have the opportunity to meet Brittney and see for yourself the beautiful couture hangers that she has to offer.

Boudoir Photography :: A Boudoir Experience for the Bride


Boudoir :: is French for a woman's private sitting room, dressing room, or bedroom, a place where a woman is able to decorate in rich colors, an enjoyable place where a woman can dress leisurely, a relaxing place.

The latest phenomena that I've been seeing on my journey of wedding planning is boudoir photography for the bride. One may think that this is too sexy or sensual for a bride to partake in. Well it sounds sexy because it is, however, it's really about letting your inner sexiness out that's been screaming for months and for years to come out.

What is Boudoir Photography?

According to TheKnot.com, "boudoir photos are usually taken wearing either just a little, or well, nothing at all. They're hardly X-rated though, but rather PG-13 -- as in classic pinup-inspired pics, or what the pros call 'implied nudes.' That means you're not wearing anything, but you're also not showing off anything either (think shot from the back, or lying on your stomach)."

Boudoir photographs take place in the privacy of your home, your bedroom or in the space you choose.  This really depends on your level of comfort.  You are able to make these photographs sultry, sexy, playful, or all of the above.  Your boudoir photographs would be the perfect gift to your soon to be husband.

There are wedding photographers who specialize in boudoir photography and there are photographers who specialize in boudoir photography exclusively.  Whatever your level of comfort is will be based on you choose to be your boudoir photographer.  I have seen that most photographers who specialize in it are female photographers. 

There will of course be a Boudoir photographer present at An Intimate Bridal Affair in Chicago on January 25, 2012, as well as the other events that will take place in Miami, New York, Atlanta, DC and Houston.  So for those brides-to-be who are interested and not afraid to let their sexy out for their soon to be husband, this will be the perfect place to be to have one on one consultations with a boudoir photographer.

Quote of the Day:  It was a woman's bedroom, actually a boudoir, and no man belonged in it except by invitation. ~Kathleen Winsor

Until next time...

An Intimate Bridal Affair for the Luxury Bride



In January 2012, Glitz  Event Design will embark on its first ever bridal event, An Intimate Bridal Affair™.

An Intimate Bridal Affair™ will not be your ordinary Bridal event. What will make this event different from any other Bridal event is that this will be a Bridal experience for the bride-to-be, not your ordinary Bridal event where the bride goes from table to table to sample makeup, food & sweets.

The first Intimate Bridal Affair™ taking place in January 2012 will be at Hotel Palomar Chicago, a Kimpton Hotel, which sets “art in motion” located in Chicago's River North neighborhood.  This luxury hotel offers exceptional accommodations and personalized attention for an unforgettable stay. Hotel Palomar Chicago promises an elegant, contemporary setting for the wedding events surrounding the couple’s ceremony and reception.  We are excited to be having this luxury event at this fabulous hotel!

  • Hair & Makeup tips from the "best of the "best" in the industry
  • Signature drink courtesy of Grey Goose
  • Hosted by a well known person in the Wedding Industry (To be Announced Soon, but you have to "like" our Facebook page for that announcement - you do not want to miss that!)
Would you like to be a part of this experience?
