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...

It's no secret that we love succulents. Succulent plants are eco-friendly, rich in texture, and definitely on-trend for 2012. And we just can't seem to get enough gorgeous succulent inspiration!
What many brides don't know is that there are lots of succulent types, and each has its own unique look and feel. If you're planning a romantic vintage wedding, consider the Echeveria x imbricata succulent, as its gray-green rounded leaves offer a soft, antique feel. If your wedding...
