In addition to being up-to-date on all the latest Hollywood happenings after watching E! News last night, we're still pinching ourselves about the fact that Kim Kardashian "wore" our stunning Gilded Gold gown that recently debuted at the Nardos Imam fashion show in Dallas! 

"We're playing dress-up and putting the bride in silhouettes we'd like to see when she walks down the aisle," an E! correspondent said to introduce the segment. "Kim would look like a true princess in a full ballgown. This 'Gilded Gold' one by Nardos Imam is totally gorge. It's also the perfect way to give a nod to her culture—the lace overlay is tradition in Armenian weddings, and if Kim and Kanye are saying 'I do' in a French chateau, this grand gown will do the trick."

We could not agree more. "No one has done a gold gown before. The color is perfect for Kim's complexion and would stand out beautifully," Nardos said. "If Kim wore this timeless silhouette on her wedding day, her gown would become as iconic as Grace Kelly's."

Just so you know, Kim, we're all about one-of-a-kind, completely couture creations here at Nardos Imam. Which is why Nardos developed a few extra options we'd love for you to consider when selecting your final aisle style.

OPTION ONE: 1920's Inspired Fitted Gown

"Kim is known for showing off her figure and her curves, which this dress would draw attention to," Nardos said. "The entire gown would be hand-beaded with crystals, and lace would show through underneath. The veil is inspired by the gown and would frame Kim beautifully—it would also be edged with crystal detailing."

Featuring plenty of sparkle, a touch of gold and a gorgeous low neckline, we know this would be a knockout look on Kim—or a knockout first look, at least. Because post-ceremony, we imagine that Kim might like to slip into...

OPTION TWO: Elegant Ruched Fit-and-Flare

With beaded cap sleeps, crystal detailing at the waist, ruching across the hips and an elegant train, Kim's second look would make for a dramatic reception change. "This gown combines everything Kim loves. It's fashion, sexy, modern and classic all at the same time," Nardos said. "Beautiful ruched fabric will hug Kim's curves in all the right places, while hand-beaded crystal detailing will accent her tiny waist." 

Sounds like a perfect fit! Unless, of course, Kim's looking to combine the best of both world's by wearing...

OPTION THREE: Two-Way Stunner

"Like the others, this look is timeless," Nardos said. "It's special because of the detachable train, which allows the gown to be worn two ways—as a figure-flattering mermaid gown and as a full ballgown."

No matter what style of gown she wears, we know the “Kimye” wedding will be an affair to remember. Which style would you choose for Kim Kardashian’s upcoming nuptials?

This Valentine's Day, we are so thrilled to feature Anat Kaufman. Anat was born in Jerusalem and moved to Houston when she was young. Despite military conflict causing the couple to postpone their original destination wedding date, the bride eventually graced the aisle with her 7-foot train and married her groom, energy investor Jay Zeidman. Following their first ceremony, they later held a Houston reception for guests who were not able to attend overseas. While designing, Anat was very hands on with her input, and loved the idea of having a transitional look, from the ceremony, to the reception. For both Jerusalem and Houston ceremonies, the bride wore a tulle jacket, with hand embroiderered embelishments. It delicately, and modestly covered her shoulders, while buttoning in the back. Later the jackets was removed to showcase her column, silk faille gown. For dimension, a box pleated train was sewn onto the back, which made for fun photos with friends. 

Celebrity-inspired wedding gowns are one of my favorite things to design. When I was asked to create a vintage, rustic, sheath style wedding gown for Paige, I was over the moon. She wanted to pull inspiration from Lauren Bush's wedding ensemble. After much sketching, designing, pinning, draping and cutting, we brought her dream gown to life.

For her chic, winter wedding, Paige wore a pearl encrusted, fitted gown with a diamond shaped key-hole cut out. She adorned her hair with a multitude of floral wreaths and completed her look with Lanvin ballet flats and a fabulous fur shrug. 

Loved this write up that CultureMap Dallas did on the 7 must-hit stores for February

Excited to be featured in this month's PaperCity Magazine in the‪#‎BridalBuzz‬ section!

       Last March, I had the pleasure of designing a gown for a truly spectacular bride. Taylor Luskey was the most beautiful bride in her off-the-shoulder, alencon lace gown with baroque influenced beading at the waist. Her gown was perfectly paired with her custom cowgirl boots designed at her father's retail store 'Luskey's' in Fort Worth, Texas.

            There are weddings, and then there are southern weddings. Not only is our hair big-our bridal parties and expectations are too. It doesn't matter if you hail from Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, San Antonio or even El Dorado, there's just something different about the way we do things. So saddle-up, and ride along as we break down the 10 tell-tale signs of a true southern bride. Images via Pinterest .

1) You have seen this photo 'pinned' and now need to re-enact this for an impromptu portrait session. Plus, it's an excuse to wear a tulle skirt. 

2) You wear boots to at least one of your showers, brunches or your rehearsal dinner. Either way, these bad boys are making an appearance. 

3) It was too difficult choosing which girlfriends were going to be bridesmaids, so you chose your entire pledge class, now forcing your groom to do the same.

4) Having an 8-foot wedding cake is basically the only kind of cake that will suffice. 

5) Strategically, you've planned your wedding from the months of October through February, hoping to wear fur for that classic bridal shot. 

6) There is just no such thing as 'too much monogramming'. You would even monogram a list of things to monogram if it were possible. 

7) There is also no such thing as 'too many flowers'. You want your guest to feel like they are in a garden, that happens to serve amazing appetizers and host a live band. 

8) Kim Kardashian might have gained international recognition for changing into 3 different gowns, but we've been planning on doing that since we were 9. You can't possibly make it into your getaway car in the same gown that you walked down the aisle in, can you?

9) Oh, but we must mention that at least one of the gowns should be lace, because it's classic, and beautiful. Plus, our mother and our mother's mother wore lace too. 

10) Mason jars are a must. Whether they are for storing candles, flowers, center pieces or even hanging upside down as rustic-chic lighting, they are somewhere to be found. 

Happy Friday! As if the weekend right around the corner isn't exciting enough, we are kicking off a new blog segment titled, 'Feature Friday'. Each Friday, as you begin to book your blow-outs for your Saturday night shenanigans, and secure your name on the most coveted dinner reservation list in town, swing by nardosimam.com and check out who our featured muse is for the week.
