Spoiling the Bride-to-BeI shared this perfectly planned bridal shower from Jodi at In Any Event by Jodi Bos about a year ago on the blog. Jodi shared this event she planned & designed for her sister, Kara, and I was thinking about it again today as I was sitting in my office sipping hot coffee while the snow fell from the sky.I love all of the details Jodi included, and this is one of those picture-perfect days for a very special bride-to-be. If you're looking to absolutely spoil the guest of honor, take a cue from Jodi and add in the unexpected details that will WOW any guest! To see even more photos of Kara's b...

Bride and brideFiled under: Alternative WeddingsAs I've mentioned before, my husband is a wedding officiant. He's done hundreds over the years, but he took a break for a few years, and only took it up again a couple of months ago. So far, though it's legal here, he has yet to perform a gay wedding.He's looking forward to it. His rationale is that, having been on the outside looking in for so long, that gay couples who decide to marry will have a sense of achievement that straight couples don't. Straight people can, after all, take their right to marry for granted. He anticipates a gay wedding might have laye...

The Bride Diaries ~ Unveiling {www} Real Bride #1Image © Lou @ Whimsical Wonderland Weddings I am super excited today to introduce the first of three real brides who are going to be blogging for you on these very blog pages.

BRIDE MAIL: THE TALL BRIDEPhoto by Henley PhotographyBrideMail@Bridechic.comI’ve spent most of my life in blue jeans so I have no idea what to look for in a wedding dress. I like the idea of wearing a long, white dress on my wedding day but I’m finding it confusing to know what I’m going to look good in. I’m 5’9” and slender. Can you help?How lucky can you get? You’re going to hear it again and again—tall women look best in any style (well, just about) whether it be ball gown, A-line or sheath. Some words of caution though: There have been some tall, svelte, otherwise lovely brides of late who went way...

BRIDE MAIL: THE PETITE BRIDEBrideMail@Bridechic.comI'm 5' and very small boned. Most gowns I've tried on are for women that are 5'6. This means whenever I get in front of the mirror I'm swimming in the dress. Almost any sleeve, belt, print or lace looks magnified on me. What are my options? One of the most important things for the vertically challenged to remember is scale. If you're petite and in shape, you can wear just about any gown as long as you scale down to the right proportion. Also thinking vertically (up, up, up) it will be easier to figure out which treatments suit you best. For instance, choose a bodice and...
