Here comes the Brides

Just a little heads up for you fashion-crazed Bridzillas.. the Peabody Essex musem is having a special fashion guest speaking at its wedding exhibit "Wedded Bliss, The Marriage of Art and Ceremony." Because it's Monday, and I'm feeling too lazy to type, here are the details:

Sandy Schreier, the author of Hollywood Gets Married and other books on fashion, will discuss celebrity weddings and provide an insider's look at the behind-the-scenes details of movie and real-life weddings. Schreier's presentations will include descriptions of the costume designs, photography, bridesmaids' dresses, food, exploits of off-screen in-laws and wedding guests and, of course, the bride and groom.

Schreier, who owns more than 10,000 museum- quality pieces of 20th century French couture, American fashion and Hollywood costumes, has designed costumes for The Supremes, accessories for Yves Saint Laurent and styling for Bette Midler. Her designs have appeared in Vogue and Bazaar magazines. She has discussed film fashion on Oprah and has been a guest on CNN and AMC, where she has appeared regularly since 1995.

Schreier's lecture is the first in a series of lectures connected with PEM's exhibition Wedded Bliss. A book signing reception will follow Schreier's lecture. The Wedded Bliss exhibition galleries will be open prior to the lecture from 6 to 8pm for guests to visit.
