n this special Bridal Edition of CVLUX, we celebrate one of life’s most significant milestones: weddings. Within these pages, we address all your bridal questions, from fashion to etiquette, to help make your life on your big day a bit easier.
My personal favorite article in this issue is entitled A Match Made in Texas. We were fortunate enough to get a glimpse inside the magnificent wedding of Caroline Baliker and John Bonadelle. Dallas was the destination for this simply stunning event, where every detail was meticulously thought out. It is a beautiful example of elegance mixed with tradition and character. If you are looking for inspiration for your big day, you need not look any further. Registering tends to be an overwhelming task for many brides, but Social Graces answers all your bridal registry questions. Everything you need to know concerning timing, what to select, and how to curate the gifting process is covered, including tips on protocol and good manners. You will know exactly what you’re getting yourself into and any apprehension you may have in addressing registry queries will dissipate after reading this article. When selecting this month’s cover feature, I was instantly drawn to the funny, charming, and charismatic Kristin Cavallari—she’s basically a superhuman. Needless to say, we are all crazy about Kristin. Features Editor Andrea Towers interviewed Cavallari a little over a month ago. They chatted about her career, family, and all her business ventures. Celebrity photographer Jim Jordan captured this beauty at a fabulous estate in Calabasas, California. You can read all about Kristin and see her stunning images on full display in the Summer Love article inside this edition. Here’s to celebrating life’s most momentous occasions in luxurious style, and may you have the happily ever after you have always dreamed of. Cheers,
David
