If you are looking to make an impact at your wedding, this dress will really do the trick. I love the combination of fabrics and the rouching at the waistline. The simple touch of lace adds a classic touch to a more modern silhouette. Also the deep v-neckline adds a touch of sex appeal to this gorgeous dress. Check it out!
Flower Girls always look cute no matter what. Besides the Bride they are my favorite to see walk down the isle. But this flower girl dress pictured above is way too cute! I love it. Just picture it…give her some red rose petals and you are good to go. It is perfect. I love it. But if you don’t like the red this little dress comes in plethora of colors to choose from. Check it out!
These wedding invitations are so unique I absolutely love them! For one the colors are fun and different, but the invitation its self has a retro/modern feel to it. My favorite part is the way it closes. I think these invitations are sure to be a hit with any wedding! Check it out!
Don’t like cake? Or maybe you want a different alternative to cake for your wedding. Then these little mini tarts are perfect. I think these would be great for a beach themed wedding or even a fall wedding because of the colors. I just think they are really cute. Plus they look really yummy!!! You could even do cake and the mini tarts to have some dessert options.
How gorgeous is this cake? Simplistic elegance with a modern twist is just my style. I love the traditional feel of this cake but the tulips set it apart and make it a unique creation. This three-tiered square cake is iced with vanilla rolled fondant and features three large edible parrot tulips. Simply beautiful! I Love it!
Deciding who pays for what is sometimes a really hard decision when planning a wedding. It is becoming more and more common for the Bride and Groom to completely fund the wedding themselves. However, when making this decision, it may be easier to start with the traditional list of who pays for what and then narrow done your decision. Just remember that ultimately it is up to you and your family. Think of it as a starting point, because how you get to your bottom line is up to you!

When is comes to wedding presents sometimes, you just don’t need another toaster nor do you want a set of fine china. Often times when people get married they are already well established and have lived on there own. Many people do not want or need anything for the household. If this is the case with you, or you would rather give back to the community, then there is a site out there that you are going to love. Changing the Present.Com is a site that allows you to register for wedding gifts that help the community. Instead of registering for a toaster, you can register to help fight cancer, AIDS, or hunger. This site is a nonprofit organization and contains a multitude of charities to donate to. I have provided a link to a couple below, so check out the site and let me know what you think!
If you are having a beach themed wedding and are looking for a unique menu, then you have to check out this menu option from Brides.Com. What first drew my attention to this menu was the dessert that looks like a little sand bucket. At first glance it looks exactly like sand but it is really a tasty little concoction from Will Goldfarb, Room 4 Dessert, nyr4d.com. For the main course there is an option of lobster or chicken. But if your family is anything like mine and doesn’t like sea food then I would substitute the lobster for steak. Either way this is one tasty little dinner menu that is sure to leave an impression!
The dessert: Citrusy mousse and passion fruit puree topped with a sunny cookie and shortbread “sand” to sprinkle on top.
The menu
Cocktail: Pomegranate martini
Salad: Grilled watermelon with tomato and basil
Main Course: Half
Check out this new addition to the David’s Bridal collection. I absolutely love the new take on a classic design. I love the new wedding dresses that have some color in them. I love color myself and I am ecstatic when I see color in a wedding dress because it is out of the ordinary, even though it is gaining more popularity everyday. I am a sucker for the color red, so this gown is right up my alley. I could see this gown being worn at a winter wedding. Couldn’t you? However this gown is also offered in 15 other colors, so if you are not a red fanatic like me; no worries there are other colors to choose from. Plus is dress is a steal at only $599.00! See this dress!
