Amsale Girls | The new WE tv reality Wedding Show throws a party! | Plus a chance to WIN an AMSALE Wedding Dress

So as you may or may not know, I'm a reality show junkie! Especially the wedding shows! So I was thrilled when I was invited to the premier of WE tv's new AMSALE Girls.

Everyone knows the amount of anxiety that comes with being a bride.  Still, that’s nil compared to the daily stress level and pressure felt by Manhattan’s elite bridal consultants, who strive to help future brides find the perfect wedding gown − and make the all-important sale.  WE tv’s newest reality series, AMSALE GIRLS, goes behind-the-scenes of New York City’s renowned Amsale boutique, a luxury bridal salon that caters to a fabulous and high-maintenance clientele.  With gowns donning price tags of $4,000 to $75,000, Amsale’s sales consultants are the best in the business.  For these ladies, it’s more than just finding a bride her dream dress.  Being a bridal consultant at Amsale means navigating family disagreements, stroking egos and bending over backwards to move the merchandise.  Inside the shop, these ladies are often pitted against each other as they work to make their monthly sales numbers.  Yet outside, they’re girlfriends, helping each other in their personal lives.

I met the girls, and they are SO lovely! Each one with their own personality, I see a hit coming! We got to view a sneak peak, and I must say it was funny and I can see my self addicted ;) A must add to your fave reality wedding show rundown for sure.

Real Luxury Wedding in Italy | Luxury Destination Wedding that has the major WOW factor

You haven't seen a wedding like this! Melanie and Desyn's luxurious destination wedding in Rome, Italy was a three day lavish celebration. Look at all the beautiful gold and ivory details! And the dress, hello! It was an Oscar de la Renta original couture design! He doesn't do much of that anymore. This was truly amazing wedding dress.

Melanie flew in from Dubai to see Lela New York for her luxury wedding invitation design. I created her boxed wedding invitations to tell her love story of how they met in NYC and were getting married in Rome. The outside is covered in white silk and crystals with gold embroidery. The inside was drenched in gold with crystals and a printed Mona Lisa on the inside, a little nod to Melanie's nick name from Desyn. So cute!
