We want all of our guests to have a great time and hit the dance floor so we've hired a band that can play both Russian and American music; not to mention a mean rendition of the Gypsy Kings and chair-raising hora!
Who needs diet and exercise, proper nutrition or skin care when you can apparently photoshop life’s little imperfections away.

The message boards on The Knot are the most popular forums for brides across the country.
Much like blogging communities, it offers brides-to-be a place to find ideas, vendor reviews, answers, and other women who understand the planning process and actually care about what color scheme you’ve finally decided on.
Unfortunately, some of the Knot boards are notorious for catty women who leave mean replies to posts.…

Favors are always one of the most popular topics of discussion when it comes to weddings. We want to give something guests will like, but we also don’t want to break the bank (a gift for each guest really adds up!)
I’m always on the lookout for cool favors and came across these garden themed gifts on Olive Barn. My favorite thing on the site is…

This past Saturday, Miss Butterfly and I attended The Bridal Event at the Pierre. This was actually the first bridal event I attended in New York! The free wedding magazines and goodies alone made it worth attending. Actually I did have a good time and liked looking through all the wedding album options out there because I still haven’t made my albums a year after…

I love the way written words are captured in photographs. It adds an extra element that helps viewers appreciate the moment. Sure, it’s already obvious that the white limo is the bride and groom’s getaway car. But the “Just Married” graffiti in the back adds the perfect touch.

I received a sample of Aunt Nalani’s Cookies yesterday. The packaging is beautiful. However, I wasn’t terribly impressed with the cookies themselves; they are much smaller than those shown on the website. I think the cookies would make a nice favor for the shower, but I’ll go with something else (hopefully the photobooth), for the wedding.

I joined Weight Watchers yesterday! With the wedding less than 4 months away, I really need to get my act together. I’m not looking to get skinny (that ain’t gonna happen ) but I do want to lose a size… more for the honeymoon than the wedding, since the dress will fit me now.
Weight Watchers is pretty easy - stick to one of their…

Today, more and more people are sending out save the dates. Because they are are usually sent out so far in advance, people often want them to be something that will be held onto (magnet, calendar, etc.). I was cleaning out my 2005 wedding magazines today and came across a great save the date idea in an old issue of Modern Bride - a monogrammed…

When I first started planning my wedding, I had just moved to New York from Los Angeles. None of my bridesmaids were able to try on dresses since they lived in California, so I went to try them on myself. I had challenges finding red bridemaids dresses and trying to find a flattering style for 3 completely different body types. With only 6 months to…

Paper-Source is one of my all time favorite stores. I’ve visited the one in Pasadena, CA and I’m just waiting until they open a store in New York! Meanwhile they have an awesome website where you can order beautiful, high quality paper products from.
I just found out that they’ve added instructional videos to their site on how to make many of their wedding stationery products.…

I saw this in the most recent New York/New Jersey issue of weddingchannel magazine. M. Avery Designs in Hoboken, New Jersey offers “make your own handbag” parties either in their studio or at your home.
A host is also provided to oversee the entire event.
Each party allows for your guests to custom design the bag of their dreams choosing the style, the fabric and all the…
