 BIO + PRESS - BRIDE'S - AUGUST, 2004

     
  "On The Party Circuit"

These days weddings are synonymous with "party". The celebrations start a month or so before the nuptials with a shower (sometimes a guy-friendly affair), Then go full gallop into a blowout bachelorette party, gala rehearsal dinner, get-wild post-reception bash, and a casual morning -after brunch.

We traveled coast-to-coast to see what couples are doing to get the party started. For bridal showers, most girls just want to have fun - while learning something new.

At Knit New York, women hit the coffee bar, then sit down to do needlework. CLAYTIME in Shrewsbury, Mass hosts posses of pottery-painting gals (one group showed up sporting prom gowns).

Design-Your-Own jewelry parties are a smash hit at FEMMEGEMS
(www.femmegems.com) in New York, Chicago and Connecticut.


At Morroccan, themed-teas and a henna artist decorate everyone's hands, feet and ab-fab bellies.
