A couple of weeks ago I introduced you to one of The Dessy Group's newest must have accessories-the Pashmina. It is a perfect gift for your bridesmaids, or even to yourself, as they are stylish far beyond your wedding day. Our good friends at GetMarried.com recently produced this fun video to show you many of the different and trendy ways to wear your Pashmina. To choose your favorite color check out the Pashmina selections on Dessy. Yay!

One lucky bride recently took advantage of some of these gorgeous PANTONE colors to match her dresses, accessories and decor. Denise Holman made a great choice coordinating with the color marigold to make her day bright and beautiful!
Denise tells us, "I am a person who has always known what she wants. When I made my mind up that I wanted our 2009 Fall wedding color scheme to be mustard, charcoal grey, and ivory, I searched long and far for the perfect mustard color. After browsing through the Dessy website, I came across the color "marigold". After receiving the pantone cards in the mail, I was thrilled! I called my bridesmaids immediately and told them each I had finally found the perfect color and they had to order their bridesmaids dresses as quickly as possible! I was so happy I had finally found the perfect shade of yellow for our wedding-not too bright but not too dark! I was able to use the pantone cards to purchase matching wedding reception decorations and to show my florist. They were really helpful throughout the planning process!"
Here are some inspiring pictures I want to share with you of Denise and her now husband Stuart's lovely wedding.
