After photographing Kjestine and Brian's wedding at the Southern Vermont Arts Center, and seeing every last detail up close and personal, it was hard to imagine that they were planning on a budget! Now, we've all heard about super crafty brides pulling off breathtakingly beautiful weddings with budgets of $10,000 to $15,000. But $6,000?! Believe it or not, Kjestine and Brian pulled it off!
The bride, with help from her friends and bridesmaids,...

I instantly fell in love with the chic updo Nicole Richie wore to the FiFi Awards Monday night. She sported a voluminous wrapped bun situated high atop her head, and finished the look with long fringy bangs.
This hairstyle is perfect for the wedding day, especially when you consider the major bridal bun love fest happening right now! Richie's bun updo has a cool 1960's glam feel, and it's hearty enough to stand tall from the first look to the last dance.
Here are three fabulous...

There is a not so secret place on every bride’s ever gorgeous body that is oh so very often underutilized when primping, styling, and fussing over! This top secret location you ask?! Why the nails silly!
I can’t tell you how frequently, almost religiously, I see brides wearing the lightest, most barely there nail colors possible. It’s almost as if they are worried that their very own pretty fingers could steal the show! But we all know this isn’t possible. Because the bride,...

Basically, these are topics to discuss with your groom BEFORE your wedding… Read, learn and thank me later:
1. Your marriage is not destined for disaster if your groom sees you in your veil before the wedding. So, as you are practicing your vows, pin that bad boy in your hair and have him practice “unveiling” you once it is time to come out from “hiding”. Literally… Have him go through the motions of gently lifting the veil up and over your head. Really? Yes! Sadly,...

A celebrity wedding without all the frills! It's not uncommon for celebrities (in an effort to keep details of their nuptials under wraps) to invite guests to what they think is just a regular old star-studded celebration (I kid), and unveil the real reason for the gathering (a wedding!) once guests arrive at the venue. And this is exactly what Facebook founder (and newly minted billionaire) Mark Zuckerberg did this weekend!
Zuckerberg invited guests to his Pal Alto home to...

For many brides, fresh flowers for their bouquets and centerpieces top the list of must-have wedding items. But as bridal designers think outside the box this season with colored gowns and printed wedding dresses, I got to thinking about all the creative ways to incorporate blossoming prints and patterns into a couple's romantic I Do's.
From petal-adorned LWDs and blooming bridal headbands, to swirling floral wedding invitations and hand painted save-the-dates, the options...

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. I was recently invited to a wine tasting by wedding planner extraordinaire Alison Hotchkiss (Alison Events) for Cupcake Vineyards, and while I'm not a big drinker, I was pleasantly surprised by the price point, and more importantly, the taste!
They have a full series of wines to choose from, reds, whites, sparkling,...
