Six Biggest Faux Pas Kids Make at Weddings

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 at...
A Potentially Risky Yet Fabulous Wedding Reception Idea

Cool Couple Chic at City Hall
A few months ago Refinery29 had an article on City Hall weddings....essentially they photographed a total of 32 newlyweds getting married on a single day, and the styles they rocked.

Hemlines are generally shorter, and even the guys can get in on the fun with unique ways of...
