For some weddings where the couple is providing their own alcohol, sometimes it can be hard to figure out how much to spend for the quality of wine you'll be getting.

They have a full series of wines to choose from, reds, whites, sparkling,...

Thank you Allure for this slideshow feature of 32 new hair ideas for 2012! The hairstyles are gorgeous, with so much bridal beauty inspiration! But we had a tough time navigating through (and tried two different browsers), which made seeing all 32 looks a tad difficult.
But we've got you covered, lovelies! Because we're about to share three of our favorites wedding-worthy hairstyles (two updos and one retro-inspired down do) from Allure's batch of 32, and the DIY steps straight...

Mantillas and drop veils are showing up more and more in the weddings submitted to Bride Chic. I wanted to share this tidbit with you simply because this tells me something about brides and what's going on with their heads: Some of you still love topping it all off with a long and flowing veil.
Defined, a drop veil or mantilla style is circular, has no poufs or gathers at the crown and can literally be dropped onto the head in a single layer of lace or tulle. They're often bordered...

We can always count on Spanish bridal designers (like Pronovias and Rosa Clara) to deliver wedding dresses that are out of this world gorgeous! And Rosa Clara's big 2013 debut left everyone swooning!
For the first time ever, Rosa Clara let traditional wedding white take a backseat to soft & romantic pastels, a smart choice given all the buzz about non-white wedding dresses this season.
Bridal gowns in shades of pale pink, sky blue and delicious mint green floated (literally,...

When I spotted Abhishek + Payal's wedding on Gina Meola's blog, I was enchanted! While I've come to realize that you can always count on Indian brides to pull out all the stops for their wedding day looks, this particular bride, Payal, really blew me away! I mean, seriously... how gorgeous is she?
Payal's Indian wedding garb was dripping with ornate details, and she was adorned with jewels head to toe! Her groom sported a custom made sherwani, and even posed it up with a...

Brideys… if the beautiful venue hosting your wedding says that they can’t do a particular “thing” that you want them to do, or what you are asking for is outside the boundaries of what they can do (legally or otherwise), please BELIEVE them. ESPECIALLY if this piece was discussed ad nauseum during the initial site visit.
What am I talking about? Such things may include (but are not limited to): providing a particular cuisine or food you saw at some AMAZING restaurant that...
