We just posted a new article on your wedding day gloves.
It’s everything you need to know about different styles and cuts, from what to wear to how will my ring fit on this thing?!?!

Despite the pomp and circumstance that always comes with the Olympics, we’ve never been such dedicated followers. Swimming (have you heard of Michael Phelps??), beach volleyball, the suspicious gymnastics scoring system– all of it has caught our eye this year more than ever before.
Shooting may be one of the less popular sports in terms of viewership, but if people like Matt Emmons continue shooting for the U.S. team that may change.
Katy and Matt, two Olympic shooters who met at the 2004 Athens games and have been inseparable ever since, might not be together at all had Matt not performed so disastrously. It took Matt to embarrass himself on the world stage for Katy to notice him. And now they’re a happily married couple.
Their fairytale has an extra happy ending too: They’ve earned four gold medals between them at the Beijing games this time around.

Just-married Ellen DeGeneres spoke about her wedding in this recent public message…
“The wedding was everything we hoped it would be. I wish I could’ve invited all of you. But I have some pictures and video I can show you when Season 6 starts on September 8th. I can’t wait to see them too…it was all a blur.”
Congratulations to the happy couple!
Your wedding day may feel like a blur too. Will you be hiring a videographer?
Wondering what your groom will say in his speech? A member of the OurWeddingDay.com Team got married recently, so we thought we’d share with you his unique perspective of a groom, who happens to work in the wedding industry, on The Groom’s Speech…
Having married this summer, one piece of advice I can give to aspiring grooms is to write a speech well in advance of the big day. Guys, most people will tell you that your speech is “easy” and you’re just a formality before the main act – the Best Man. You’re the star of the day, so how bad could it all go right? But when the time comes to stand up in front of your family and friends, nothing about your speech seems easy.
Sure, you’ll know the main points of what to (or perhaps should) say: Start with “My wife and I” (big cheer from the crowd), thank your guests, thank her parents, thank your parents, tell everyone how much you love your new wife, ask the guests to toast the bridesmaids. Easy right? Wrong! (more after the jump…)

Every bride is concerned about how she will look on her big day. But many brides go too far, and it shows.
Living healthily and being aware of what (and how much) you eat is great. The problem is when brides go to extremes chasing some ideal.
You can be conscientious about looking your best, without becoming obsessed.
Check out more on this HERE.
Today’s bride need not forget herself on her big day. Here are some ideas on what you can tote on your way to tie the knot.

Fashion waits for no bride.
Since another autumn is right around the corner, let’s consider a fall fashion trend that might work for you: Belle curves.
Belle Curves were the peak of fashion in the 1940’s, and now they’re back and accentuating natural, womanly curves with their stylized flair for film noir-ish glam.
Design houses such as Prada, Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent are using skirts, jackets and dresses this season to mold striking silhouettes with higher waists and va-va-voom hips.
Of course no trend works for every body type, but what could be a better way to recreate and rewrite old-Hollywood glamour then by casting yourself as the femme fetale who gets the guy.
We’ve recently noticed more and more grooms wearing Converse All Stars (or “Chucks”) with their tuxedos. Chucks are the most successful shoe ever produced and can be a fun way for a groom to lighten up the formality of a wedding day.
Chucks can be ordered in almost any color, so matching your wedding theme should be no problem; You can even build your own pair HERE.
Is your groom the kind of guy who’d like to walk this way? And if he is, would you let him?
