I think most brides would agree, trying on dresses is one of the most fun aspect of wedding planning. You make appointments at luxury salons, the sales consultant help dress you, and you coming out looking like a million bucks! Our first stop Saturday, Monique L'huillier.
I waited for my friend to change as I enjoyed the fresh flowers and chamomile tea with spices.
This was her favorite from the store..Camelot (same dress Kevin Costner's wife wore).
Initially we were going to Barney's New York, but they canceled since they are currently renovating the bridal salon. So instead we stopped in at Renee Strauss without an appointment. The staff was extremely friendly but we didn't really see anything we liked.
Last stop was Saks Fifth Avenue. She fell in love with this gown ~ simple yet elegant.
After a day of dress shopping, we had a drink at W Hotel before dinner. The hotel is a little small for her 250 people wedding but we enjoyed sitting outside by the pool.
We had dinner at the Little Door Restaurant. Dinner was to celebrate an early birthday for the same friend since I will be leaving for China and she will be heading to Hong Kong.
We started with a bottle of Pinot Noir and the Assorted Mediterranean Appetizers.
I had the Grilled Filet Mignon with Green Peppercorn and Bone Marrow Sauce.
Lemon Roasted Organic Chicken Breast with Baby Artichokes, Garlic and Oregano
Grilled Rib Eye Steak with Sel, Herbs, and Cracked Black Pepper
Duo of Duck with Pomegranate and Candied Walnuts
Someone had the Pistachio Crusted New Zealand Snapper with Couscous (I didn't get a bite or a picture). Use your imagination. =P
We ended the dinner with some champagne and the birthday cake from The Little Next Door ~ Raspberry vanilla cake.
And here is the happy couple. Lucky Mr. Friday. Now hurry up and chose a date!
