More Details on Brides Channel

Jul02

As you know, Cablevision is launching an entire television channel dedicated to brides.  While their headlining show will be Bridezillas (not our favorite), other programming options will include Amazing Wedding Cakes and My Fair Wedding.  This news comes directly out of the largely successful programming currently on the WE channel, who will start to focus more on "parenting programming."

Check out the full story from the New York Post here.

Perfect Engagement Ring

Jul01

We have to admit, the guys have really been "maning up" lately and taking a greater interest in wedding planning.  Over the past two weeks we've seen this and this and now...

The Ultimate Guide to Buying the Perfect Engagement Ring by The Art Of Manliness.

Of course, if you're reading this you probably have your engagement ring, but it's still great to see men taking these things seriously and excitedly, right?


Receptions in New Paltz

Jul01

We just posted a new article all about some New Paltz, NY reception hot-spots.  It's the latest update to our New York Wedding Guide.

New Paltz and the greater Ulster area is a hidden hot spot for beautiful reception locations for weddings.  It's beautiful, fashionable and just an hour outside of Manhattan.

Look for a brand new local wedding guide to be launched soon, plus more articles and updates in all of our current wedding guides, including Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area and the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.


A Blushing Beyonce

Jun30

Although many people focused on Janet Jackson's surprise appearance to pay tribute to her brother Michael, we would be remiss if we didn't mention Beyonce's bridal fashions.

Performing a medley of songs at the BET Awards (as well winning awards for Best Female R&B Artist and Best Video) Beyonce wowed the crowd in gorgeous bridalware.

Perhaps the fiercely private star, whose own wedding was mostly kept out of the press last year, wanted to show off her bridal best without shoving her 'real life' into the spotlight.


"Don't Screw Up Your Bride's Wedding"

Jun30

We love talking about how "the other half" plans weddings.  Check out this guys' guide to not screwing up "your bride's wedding" from the founder of GroomGroove.com.

"Let’s face it: Most men are clueless when it comes to choosing place settings and invitation color schemes. But unlike their fathers and grandfathers, modern men are expected to participate in the wedding-planning efforts like never before. This book is a comprehensive, clearly stated, and convenient guide for grooms. The gurus at GroomGroove.com will usher husbands-to-be through each stage of planning and preparation, including how to: pop the question correctly (yes, there are right and wrong ways!); set up a budget - and still give her the wedding of her dreams; deal with bridezilla; handle the groom’s duties - and make a to-do list; live up to wedding-night expectations; and more! This book is all a groom needs to calm his fears, care for his bride, and make it down the aisle on time - and with his sanity intact."

We love it!


Diana & Scott's Books of Love

Jun26

Creativity is in full bloom this spring!  We recently posted about Matt & Jill's awesome invitations, Adam & Halli's big top blow-out and Chip & Brenda's amazing invites, but what we though were just a few posts is turning into an exciting series!

Check out these adorable library themed wedding invitations courtesy of Diana and Scott, who coincidentally were both librarians when they met and fell in love.  Everything about these invitations is too cute, from the library date stamp for the wedding date, to the reception rules and the warning, "Library is not responsible for lost of damaged invitations."


Rustic Chic

Jun25

Think charming weddings on a budget can't also be fashion-forward?

Lawren Howell recently shared with Vogue her wedding ideas, and one of them was a gorgeously simple natural bench from Party Rental Ltd.

Says Lawren, "Long benches for the ceremony not only look great, but they seat more people (and cost less money) than renting chairs."

Finally something that the high-gloss, high-fashion of Vogue and casual, classic Americana of Martha Stewart can agree on!  We love it!


Inviting Those Who Won’t Attend

Jun25

We just posted a new article which answer the question: "Why invite someone who's not going to come anyway?"

Each person cut from the guest list will save an average of $100, so brides on a budget often try to keep their weddings on the small side.  But should that mean not inviting people who live far away, simply because you assume they won't want to travel?

Check it out!
