INSPIRATION: Wedding Video - Ellen DeGeneres & Portia de Rossi

Ok, so perhaps they had a slightly larger budget than most, oh, and access to a film crew - but we think the same look a feel is achievable on a budget.


The theme seems more candid than polished. They've focused on capturing the feeling of the day and special moments, rather than just the event itself.


Thanks to Misty Harris and her blog, Popcultini, for calling our attention to it!

Predictions: Kate Middleton's Wedding Dress

TAGS: ROYAL WEDDING, KATE MIDDLETON, WEDDING DRESS, CELEBRITY WEDDINGS

Ever since Prince William popped the question to university sweetheart Kate Middleton back in November, the world has been buzzing with the big question: what dress will Kate wear as she transitions to a Princess?


Based on the many pictures taken of her over the years, Kate has a conservative, yet elegant style. She chooses dresses that flatter her tall, slim figure with minimal details, such as a ribbon at her waist or slight ruching.

When dressing up, Kate opts for gem-coloured sheath-like gowns with details that accent her waist.



We’ve searched SmartBrideBoutique.com and have come up with our own ideas as to what Kate will don when she marries her Prince.

4 Simple Ways to Look Amazing in Wedding Photos

TAGS: CELEBRITY WEDDINGS, KATE MOSS, WEDDING PHOTOS, PHOTOGRAPHERS


Clearly we're not all professional models.... and if Kate Moss can get caught sporting a double chin on her wedding day, the rest of us could be in trouble!



Kate Moss Wedding Day Double Chin


Never fear, there are 4 simple things you can do to look amazing in all your wedding pictures:


  1. Lift your chin slightly to avoid the dreaded double chin.

  2. Turn slightly sideways and shift your weight to your back foot. This will make you look slimmer.

  3. Hold your arms slightly away from your body to prevent your arms looking larger than they are.

  4. Pull your shoulders back and chest forward. Avoid sucking your tummy in too much as it can look a little strange

Blake Lively Marries Ryan Renyolds in Secret Ceremony


Congrats to Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds on their recent secret marriage ceremony. After only a year together, the couple surprised everyone getting married before even announcing their engagement. We hope that they will not be so secretive about publishing pictures of their wedding attire! Can't wait to see some photos!


Ryan, who we think looks pretty sharp all the time, reportedly wore a Burberry suit with leather suspenders. Blake always looks ravishing in white and often chooses to wear it casually, on the red carpet, and obviously down the aisle. We're betting she received a pair of special wedding shoes from her bestie, Christian Louboutin.
