When you reach that certain age, wedding invites come flooding in the mail. In some cases, you'll proudly stand beside the couple and for others you fret over the perfect outfit for that single Instagram-worthy snapshot with your plus-one.
Luckily, today there's much less pressure to get dressed to the nines for the big day. Wedding guest attire has become much more casual.
Wedding planning is stressful, not to mention expensive. Trying to coordinate multiple vendors and ensuring every detail is just right can take a toll on even the most organized bride (or groom).
Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could do one-stop shopping for your wedding without even leaving your house? Turns out you can! Amazon has officially introduced a Wedding Shop as part of its Handmade site. Launched in 2015, Amazon’s Handmade has a plethora of genuine handcrafted items including jewelry, artwork, furniture, and now — everything you need for a beautiful wedding.
Remember when we collectively freaked out about Samira Wiley and Lauren Morelli getting married and were so excited about the first photo released of their Palm Springs wedding? The one of them both wearing 100% flawless custom Christian Siriano designs?
To our relief, Martha Stewart Weddings published more exclusive photos of the Orange Is the New Black couple's wedding in its summer issue. And, we're not gonna lie, their March 25 bash looks like a party we'd love to attend. You see, some people are confetti-shy (all that clean-up, all that stuff in your hair), but we're not some people. We relish a good Technicolor-paper shower. Or a glitter shower. Really, anything with a rainbow theme and a fun DJ.
PIPPA Middleton has called in lawyers after menus from her star-studded country wedding were put on eBay for £500.
A seller using the name “guarko84na” advertised two tasteful cards – one marked “Pippa Matthews” and one “James Matthews”.
Pippa is a huge tennis fan and she struck up a friendship with Federer having met at Wimbledon.
The pair have stayed in touch ever since. After being employed to write for Vanity Fair magazine in 2013, Pippa used her celebrity connections to get an exclusive interview with Federer for the publication.
Writer-director Rama Burshtein takes a novel approach to the marriage-minded romantic comedy genre in “The Wedding Plan” in that she strips out the marriage, the romance and the comedy.
Her unique film is a dense, complex look at one woman’s search for love when her engagement is terminated a month before her wedding — and yet she goes ahead with the planning, confident God will provide her a substitute.
She always makes a statement on the red carpet.
And Sunday was no exception when Laura Whitmore went all out there in a Safiyaa floor-length gown at the TV BAFTAs, in The Royal Festival Hall, in London on Sunday.
Shopping for a wedding dress isn’t the same as it might have been five years ago. Recent reports suggest that brides are choosing to spend less money on a dress (and even rings) in a bid to focus their financial efforts elsewhere – on say, buying a house, or starting a family.
In fact, search engine Lyst predicts that this year brides will be spending an average of £832 on a wedding dress, although a larger survey of 5,000 brides by Bridebook suggested the figure may be higher at £1,385. And so enter Topshop, ASOS and brands like Whistles and Ted Baker, who are bringing a new, more affordable type of wedding dress into an arena that used to be fairly straight-forward: pay out for quality, or don’t.
Fashion types know Johanna Ortiz for her bright, classic-with-a-twist daywear—think gingham button-downs with big poufed sleeves—and festive, flirty party dresses, usually with off-the-shoulder necklines and lots of ruffles. The common denominator is always a sense of joy—and what’s more joyful than a wedding? After receiving multiple requests from brides-to-be for custom wedding dresses, Ortiz decided to create a small collection of 12 feminine, unfussy gowns in white, ecru, and blush for Moda Operandi. The dresses launch next week, but Ortiz gave Vogue an exclusive first look.
“Designing expressive vintage wedding gowns for one of the most intimate, festive, and joyful moments of a woman’s life is such an exciting privilege!” Ortiz says. Her first wedding dresses have all the flair we’ve come to expect from her ready-to-wear collections: deep ruffles, off-the-shoulder sleeves, floral motifs, and the right balance of drama and ease. “A wedding dress [should be] an extension of your individual, personal style for this one special day, but it’s often challenging to find gowns that are both feminine and make a statement, which is where my collection comes in,” she adds. “My brides are constantly celebrating life, so I translated that with movement and just enough volume.”
Six years ago today I woke up a blushing bride-to-be, excited and more than eager for the momentous occasion of my wedding day. By that afternoon I went from a Miss to a Mrs, and my life was forever changed.
For us this date — May 7 — is very special.
