One of these things is not like the other...one is these things is a designer heel that retails for $1,350, and the other is a more budget-friendly alternative that's only $160.
Can you guess which is which? Is the designer option studded with diamond pave? Sadly, no. We checked. Is the designer name worth the extra $1,190? Well...just how much did you love your BeDazzler as a youth?

When you think of pleats, do schoolgirl uniforms and classic plaids come to mind? Think again.
Couture bridal gowns can have some of the most pleated skirts and bodices you’ll find and deserve a special post all their own. Many A-line and princess styles in heavier fabrics like satin and moiré incorporate deep (sometimes very deep) box or inverted pleats instead of gathers in the skirt.
Why use a pleat instead of a gather? Pleats are designed to fall flat in folds through...

I'm the youngest of three girls so growing up, I was sporting my sisters' hand-me-downs like nobody's business. And when we did go shopping, it was to Marshalls or TJ Maxx. Not Nordstrom or Saks.
I grew up thinking that Nordstrom was expensive and only appropriate when looking to splurge. But after doing some side-by-side comparisons of products in Nordstrom's Wedding Suite and designer items in Net-a-Porter's...

Personalizing your wedding with thoughtful or unique details is an important part of designing your wedding. I love DIY projects and cohesive elements that you can weave into different aspects of your wedding. One detail that I think works great in so many different ways is the silhouette. Silhouettes can be modern or vintage (or both!), and are always chic whether they are on stationery, programs, decor, or on fun little details!
Silhouettes make great wedding...

Your lawyer will probably tell you to get a pre-nup, citing the data: 40% of marriages in the U.S. end in divorce. However, only 11% of people getting married think it will be them. Play the odds, not the emotions. Divorces with pre-nups are a lot less nasty than those without. Get one! Even Suze Orman agrees.
Your counselor will probably tell you to stay far, far away from a pre-nup. He or she will likely cite the same data as your lawyer, but say that starting your marriage...

While every groom is different (just like their brides, naturally), the majority of guys seem to get excited when they’re able to inject a bit of their own personality into the festivities and leave their mark on the big day.
For example, if he’s a huge baseball fan, consider ways to incorporate his love for his favorite team into your wedding. Consider having a groom’s cake made that bears his team logo or mascot,...

It's been quite some time since we've featured a swoon-worthy Indian wedding on our blog. But the moment I stumbled upon this multicultural stunner captured by Nadine of Love Me Do Photography, I knew we had to share!
Sonal and Keith tied the knot on 11.26.2011. They chose the Hyatt Regency in Jersey City, NJ for their wedding venue, and highlighted the bride's Indian heritage with a rich red and gold wedding color palette. Although the groom was not of Indian decent, he...

To invite, or not to invite, children to the wedding is a topic that has long caused strife to wedding planning couples. Some say a wedding with drinking and dancing all through the night is no place for children. Others think that leaving kids off the guest list is ridiculous and rude. But ultimately, it is up to the couple to choose what’s right for them, and you can’t blame a bride for thinking that no kids means no wedding day disasters. So today, we take a fun look...
