Bubbly Bride: Not Your Typical Backyard Wedding
About Bubbly Bride If you have a picture of your perfect wedding ceremony or reception in your mind... and can't seem to find the right venue, I suggest creating it yourself! If you have not been given the opportunity to attend a "backyard wedding" in a tent I encourage you to do your research. By starting with an empty tent you can add linens, chairs and even chandeliers that will reflect your non-typical backyard wedding. I urge you not to think that because you are choosing to...

If April Showers Bring May Flowers, May Flowers Lead to Money
Special Feature by Dr. Taffy Wagner, Creator of Money Talk Before The Commitment Walk and Debt Stops At The Altar Do you remember that nursery rhyme that said “April showers bring May flowers”? For brides-to-be, April showers bringing May flowers could mean you are in the process of choosing your floral arrangement. Choosing your floral arrangement is an investment. Therefore you must see it as a process. When you think about your wedding and you see your floral arrangement, what...
Make Your Something Blue a Bridal Tattoo
Here's a fun way to work in your "something blue". These temporary tats from I Do Tattoos are inexpensive and arrive tucked into a keepsake photo frame. You can place them so they're visible, of course, but they're small and they won't show through a white gown in case you'd like to keep your new design as a surprise for your groom. Enjoy your new ink!

Bubbly Bride: Celebrating the Memory Of… At Your Wedding
About Bubbly Bride If you are a past bride you will probably agree that amidst all of the planning and excitement of a wedding there is a constant reminder of loved ones that have passed, and are unable to be there with you on your wedding day. While some believe that bringing in memories of the past put a dark cloud over the day, I believe that it should be treated as a celebration of those that have been with you every step of the way. Instead of simply "In Memory of"... why not...
Always a Blogsmaid: Spice Up Outdoor Wedding with Parasols for Your Bridesmaids
About Always a Blogsmaid I've been wild about parasols for some time. They are a bridesmaids' (and a bride's) best friend. Not only are they flirty, potentially colorful and fun, but at an outdoor ceremony they serve as both decor and bridal party flowers... and (sometimes) cheaper, too! I went nuts for these personalized parasols at Tange Designs. Parasol bargains abound at Pearl River Market, where you can go solid or patterned, paper or silk. And the look is lovely, especially...
The Man Registry: Best Bear (and other funny animal wedding stories)
About The Man Registry When I heard the story about the man having his pet bear serve as Best Man in his wedding, I was shocked. The bear, named Brutus, weighs in at just over 800 pounds and fronts a pretty vicious appearance. After watching the video and viewing the astonishing photos, I was left with a few questions: • Which wedding guest would be unlucky enough to be seated next to the beast? • What do you tell the caterer to bring to feed the bear? A bucket of raw fish?...

Rock ‘n Roll Bride: Featured Wedding at England’s Bradley House
About Rock 'n Roll Bride I consider myself a very lucky blogger. I get sent so much amazing stuff that my job is practically done for me!

So I put a little update on twitter (feel free to follow me and say hi by the way, I’m under RocknRollBride surprisingly http://twitter.com/RocknRollBride) saying ‘I'm on...
Diva Dialogue: Fall 2009 Color Inspiration
About Diva Dialogue at Wedding Paper Divas Last Saturday, as I walked through Home Depot with my husband, I could think of nothing I’d rather be doing less. Aisles and aisles of endless tools, buckets, brushes and who-knows-what-else were not my idea of a stellar Saturday afternoon. As I blindly followed behind him, we entered the paint aisle. Suddenly, like an oasis in the desert, my dark mood subsided. I’m a sucker for walls of color chips; I can delve in and mix and match...

Bride Chic: The Hair Bride- Wedding Day Hairstyle Ideas
About Bride Chic The Knot Book of Wedding Gowns put it succinctly when making this observation: "When it comes to topping it off there are two types of brides: 'hair' brides and 'veil' brides." In the case of the veil bride, she may figure wearing this traditional accessory will be a once-in-a-life time deal; others claim they don't really feel like a bride till the veil goes on. A hair bride is another story. Her crown of glory is her way of pulling the whole look together...
Jewish Wedding Idea: Design Your Own Chuppah
The chuppah, or wedding canopy, is a central part of a Jewish wedding ceremony. But, for years, it was basically treated like a fixed piece of furniture. You used the synagogue’s chuppah, end of story. Many Jewish couples today though want to make the canopy, which after all symbolizes their future home, more personal. One idea is to have your chuppah designed, by an artist like Corinne Soikin Strauss of the Artist’s Wedding Studio. She designs personalized chuppahs painted in vivid...
