I've seen numerous Disney and movie
inspired weddings, but this Super Mario themed wedding is
definitely a first for me. I grew up playing Mario Brothers on my
old school Nintendo, so when I saw this Super Mario wedding (set
design by: Primary
Petals), it truly brought a smile to my face and made me
reminisce of all the good times I had playing the game as a
child.
With Mario and Princess Peach as
the star of the shoot, here are a few of my favorite [...]

Sometimes finding the perfect pair
of shoes for your wedding day can be just as tough as finding the
perfect dress. With so many styles, colors, and textures to choose
from, it can definitely seem overwhelming on top of everything else
on your wedding planning checklist.
But before you go on your hunt for
that perfect shoe, make sure to consider all the factors. Things to
think about before putting down your credit card should include:
the theme of your wedding, the height of your groom, [...]

Casual summer hairdos are not just for everyday wear. Many
brides today are opting for more simple hairstyles for their
wedding day as well. Destination wedding brides love how a more
casual hairdo fits with their relaxed seaside theme, and brides
having a traditional church wedding like a more nonchalant hairdo
because it's delightfully sweet and simple. Inspired by the image
above, which I got from
Schwarzkopf featuring a bride with a cute and simple hairdo . .
. perfect for a fun summer wedding!
Here are a few celebrity inspired casual [...]

After watching
Say Yes to the Dress: Bridesmaid edition, I'd have to say that
twobirds'
bridesmaids dresses would be a great solution to all the bridal
party drama that you witness on the show (I'll explain why) . . .
and who better to describe the drama on Say Yes to the Dress:
Bridesmaid than TLC's General Manager,
Amy Winter . . .
"When planning for a wedding, the
bride needs to make a number of big and stressful decisions, one of
which is dressing her bridal [...]

We at Bridal Fantasy have seen
hundreds and perhaps even thousands of lovely cakes over the years,
but even so, new cakes from different designers still never cease
to amaze us. And it is always quite nice when we get updates from
our Bridal Fantasy exhibitors on their current projects and new
ideas they have. Angela Dufault from The Cake Topper recently just
sent over to us a few shots of cakes she's done and we just had to
share. From simple and sweet to exquisitely detailed and refined,
it seems [...]

Another royal wedding to watch that
happened just this last Canada Day weekend was Charlene Wittstock's
marriage to Manaco's Prince Albert II. Numerous pictures were taken

duchesse satin, with a long train and crossover detail on the front
and back which formed a second "à l'andrienne" train".
People.com also describes that "the front of the dress, trim

We've all been there, sitting at a beautiful
wedding ceremony when the music stops and there is "dead air". The
CD or MP3 recording has stopped and the bridesmaid is not quite
down the aisle. Instantly, the romantic atmosphere of the entire
ceremony is in jeopardy. Live musicians ensure that this won't
happen to you. Your music will be seamless, uninterrupted and
totally unique to you on your dream day. Live musicians can also
