I just found this picture of Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag from “The Hills” at today’s Kentucky Derby and…
…I think he’s wearing our groomsmen tie! Nooooooooo! Gross!!
We’re doing tri-colored (pink, green, blue) bridesmaid dresses and ties, and this appears to be the Glen Plaid Stripe tie from Brooks Brothers.
This is very bad. Spencer sux!

Has anyone else caught this absolutely delightful movie? It’s out in theaters now, starring Frances McDormand and Amy Adams. The film is set on the eve of WWII in London, and has the best costumes!
I’m not sure how far you’d want to go, but it would be great to get some late 1930s-early 1940s [...]

I’ve been considering wearing some sort of cameo jewelry with my wedding dress. Granted, cameos have something of an air of a grandma about them, but they also have an elegance that I think could be quite nice for a wedding so long as you didn’t overdo it on the rest of the jewelry.
Wedgwood blue [...]

This dress is currently available at the Gap for $69.50! Cotton/silk blend! Wouldn’t it make a great bridesmaid dress?
This one from David’s Bridal is quite similar (comes in blue too), but I don’t like it as much. And at $135, it’s twice as expensive!
Also compare this Priscilla of Boston dress, in black and [...]

I like this shorter dress version. They come in some nice colors…

For example, the bride wears a wedding dress that doesn’t have to match the bridesmaids exactly, or closely, or even at all!
But the GROOM is usually in an [...]

I’ve gotten really into the idea of mixing and matching bridesmaid dresses from different stores. I’ve got 10 bridesmaids, so it definitely could get a tad overwhelming to have everyone in the same dress!
Here are some mix and match bridesmaid looks I concocted from what’s out there right now:
Brown and Pink: the fabrics are very [...]

Here’s a sneak peek of Laurie’s wedding dress search on “Real Housewives of Orange County” at Socialiteslife.com:

I love how she says that the guy from Project Runway is “designing dresses” now, and then it turns out he’s just picking out other people’s wedding dresses at Saks! Hilarious!
Also, odd that her daughter has to nominate [...]
