80417: Shoes & Mindy Weiss
Celebrity wedding and event planner Mindy Weiss, who's been
interviewed and featured here on Lovetripper.com, knows the importance of shoes for a bride's day. After all, she's planned some of Hollywood's most high- profile weddings for couples including Heidi Klum and Seal, Eva Longoria and Tony Parker, and Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale.
Now for Piperlime, Mindy is sharing her wedding tips along with shoe suggestions that will put any bride at ease on her important day.
And what's the latest in bridal footwear? Mindy has coined the term "fantasy" and "reality" shoe and opens brides' eyes to the idea that the perfect shoe for the ceremony may not always be the perfect shoe for the reception.
She suggests every bride needs two pairs of wedding shoes -- one for the dramatic walk down the aisle and one to dance the night away afterwards.

The new handbag lines joins a long list of other Vera Wang options: fragrance and beauty-related products (Coty Prestige, Inc.), eyewear (Couteur Designs, a division of the Kenmark Group), china, crystal, silver and gifts (Wedgwood), Vera Wang suite (Halekulani Hotel), fine papers (William Arthur), intimate apparel (Charles Komar & Sons) and mattresses (Serta Mattress Company).
