There are so many personal and meaningful ways to do the "Something Old, Something New" tradition in your wedding. But I have to admit that my favorite is "something blue," which is why I had five somethings blue for my wedding!
The hanky was vintage and given to me by my mother. She pinned trinkets and special mementos to it to represent my loved ones who weren't at my wedding but with me in spirit (my father's wedding band, and something that belonged to my grandmother and...

Last week I posted about ditching the bridal bouquet toss. So it should come as no surprise when I tell you to DITCH the garter toss, too!
When someone says “garter toss”, I think yuck. Or maybe it’s gross. I mean, come ON! Do you really want to sit there while all your wedding guests watch your husband creep up your gown to remove your garter (possibly with his teeth)? YUCK. This is definitely a wedding tradition to, well, toss.
Now, that doesn't mean you...

Special to OneWed by Elizabeth Tigar, owner of Austin lingerie boutique Underwear
You’ve found it. THE dress. But now comes an even more important question: what are you wearing beneath the dress? Sometimes the answer to this question is as vital as the wedding dress itself. From the slinkiest chiffon slip dress to the most tightly-fitted corsetted gown, your bridal underpinnings can make or break a silhouette. Having worked with countless brides to choose the right wedding-day...

Your man will be happy no matter what you wear beneath your wedding dress. In fact, if you party hard at the reception and stay out late, your lingerie might not even make an appearance.
But you'll still want your innerwear to scream blushing bride, and you'll want a few sultry lingerie pieces for your honeymoon and beyond! And for 2011 brides, lingerie takes a feminine turn and it's all about ruffles! Ruffles were a major wedding trend in 2010 and the feminine flourish now takes...
