Welcome to the premier show of Here Come the Moms. Finally, moms get their most important wedding-related questions answered!  Co-hosts, wedding author Sharon Naylor and Holli Ehrlich provide the latest information for the mothers of the bride and the mothers of the groom.  Brides and moms will learn how to work harmoniously for the perfect wedding experience. In this episode Sharon & Holli agree that weddings are a happy business and mothers are an important component in wedding planning and ever after.  Weddings are different than five or ten years ago.  Sharon's books, The Mother-of-the-Bride Book and Mother of the Groom, were inspired by moms who are confused about their roles.  They feel caught in the middle of old world and new world traditions.  They are not sure what they are supposed to do or where they fit in. This podcast will help all moms and step moms enjoy the excitement, the creative process, the celebration.  Planning your wedding is a momentous yet short-lived chapter of your life.  "Expectations are premeditated resentments,"  cites Sharon.  You are bound to be disappointed if you don't have realistic expectations.  Listen and learn how to communicate with your mother and the entire family.  Roles may have changed, but brides absolutely want their moms included in the wedding planning.  Brides today are older, more assertive.  Moms used to be co-planners and now they are part of a team.  Dads and grooms are more involved.  How can a bride and groom pay tribute to their extended family?  Sharon and Holli discuss this and a lot more about the importance of building and securing lasting future relationships. Stay tuned for upcoming show topics: the new roles and rules for parents, fashion trends, etiquette Do's and Don'ts, conflict resolution tips and more.

Henry and Michelle Roth take you behind the curtains in their NYC showroom with real bride Ruth.  She took a train from Albany, NY to discuss her concerns and fears about how the wedding dress fits.  Henry and Michelle take care of this 6' tall bride in the alterations room.  Henry and Michelle want this bride and brides everywhere to be happy with their choice.  Will the dress that Ruth likes accommodate her height and torso?  Is this the dress she will ultimately purchase? Many questions are asked of Ruth - Are you nervous about today's appointment?  What type of wedding are you having?  Did you use the Internet when looking for the gown?  Did you go to any sample sales?  Did you bring a shoe with the right heel height and lingerie?  Are you happy with the proportion of the bodice?  What are you most conscious of? When you try on a sample size can you vision how it will look once fitted?   What does the bride want to hide on her body the most?  Why are you uncertain?   Can every bride have a better shape and a more flattering, slimming result with a proper fitting?  We learn about measurements, the usage of corsets and the proper hemline.  Some of the important alteration lessons in this podcast are: Your consciousness about your body must be communicated honestly.  It's all about the dress fitting correctly.  When you look at a photo on a website you are looking at a runway model wearing a dress that has been altered to fit perfectly.  Numbers are only important to the seamstress.  They are irrelevant to the bride.  All that matters is that the bride feels good.  Will Ruth find the gown of her dreams?  What are the pitfalls of alterations?  What do you need to know when you walk into the alterations room? This and much more on Part 3.  Stay tuned.

The storytelling begins with Justina McCaffrey's "Majestic" collection. Her dresses, created out of the finest silks, exude a gracefulness and classic elegance.  All of her designs carry a strong tie with Justina's love of ballet.  Reem Acra's collection is about modernity and feminity inspired by Josephine Bonaparte.  Acra is known for her attention to detail, signature beaded embroideries and unique fabric combinations.  Monique Lhuillier Bride is high fashion.  Sighted:  Hand tufting, re-embroidered lace, three quarter and long sleeves, full A-line skirts and pleated boleros. Colors:  Ivory, Pewter, Mushroom and Latte.   Carmela Sutera introduced an elegant collection featuring the finest European fabrics.  The linen gowns with Venice lace were particularly fresh.  Colored satin sashes, pleated waistbands, long sleeves, colored ribbon accents were a few of the details noticed on the runway.  Anne Barge's love and appreciation of classic, timeless elegance is reflected in her latest bridal collection.  Ice blue silk satin, cotton pique,  Paris brooches, hand beading, fine feathers, black silk flowers, black velvet band and crystal cut sequins accented with Swarovski crystals were just some of the beautiful adornments seen.
