Leandra Medine, founder of fashion website the Man Repeller, was married in October 2012 to on-and-off boyfriend and financier Abie Cohen. Medine sported a characteristically unconventional (but still trendy) look for the big day: a tulle Marchesa wedding gown paired with a white leather biker jacket and flower crown (major Coachella vibes). The dress needed a bit of tailoring, in the form of tweaks that were done less than 72 hours before the ceremony—talk about clutch. In her latest piece, she gets super real about her dress of choice—and offers major style inspo and real-life advice for brides-to-be.

Dear Bride-to-be

Your big day is not too far away now, so I thought I should write to you to wish you good luck before you become a married woman.

Outside temperatures may be soaring, but the wedding season is at its peak. While some consider having the event indoors, most people like to have the wedding on sprawling lawns. And although one can use tents and shamiyanas, there is no escape from the scorching sun.

With heavy lehengas and even heavier jewelry, the summer heat can play havoc on the bride and the guests’ dream of enjoying the big day. Added to that, heavy makeup smudges far more easily in summers than in the wintertime.

Congratulations! Gotham star Chris Chalk married his fiancée, Kimberley Dalton Mitchell, in a romantic wedding ceremony on Saturday, April 22, the newlyweds confirm exclusively to Us Weekly.

The happy couple, who got engaged last September, exchanged vows in front of their closest friends and family members at the North Carolina Arboretum in Chalk's hometown of Asheville, North Carolina. The groom looked dapper in a white suit jacket, a white button-down shirt, a white bow tie and black pants, while his bride stunned in a lace gown and wore Jennifer Behr circlets in her hair.

A young couple from Padiham will make history in their hometown when they tie the knot next month.

For Lizzie Pulleyn and Kim McPhillips will be the first gay couple to be married at Nazareth Unitarian Chapel which was granted the licence to hold same sex weddings in November.

The gift you choose (and how much you spend!) says a lot, from your relationship with the couple to how many weddings you've already been to this year.

The old saying, “always a bridesmaid, never a bride,” may be true in some cases, though there may be women who are always called on to be a bridesmaids – either because they have many friends or made a pact to do so.

The latter reason is a pivotal plot point in Mount Marty College’s (MMC) upcoming theatre production “Always A Bridesmaid.” Written by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten, the comedic play focuses on four women who, in high school, made a promise to each other to be bridesmaids at each of their weddings, no matter what.

Not only is it now legal to recreationally use marijuana in some states, incorporating cannabis into weddings has become increasingly common. Before you write it off as odd or potentially tacky — don’t. Herb-al weddings can be extraordinarily chic and sophisticated, and wedding planners have come up with some truly creative ways to incorporate it into a couple’s big day.

Speaking of wedding planners, you really do need to hire someone who knows her way around weed laws and regulations if you want to add this element to your wedding. Fortunately, with the trend becoming more popular (especially in California with the recently passed marijuana law), bridal gurus are educating themselves and making sure they have their ear to the legal pulse.
