It's a Bridezilla Valentine's Day: Gifts for Your Bestie, Your Boy, and Yourself
Bridezilla super puffy hearts Valentine's Day. Being lavished in chocolate, jewelry, and cards that express how much I'm adored? It's definitely a 'zilla holiday!
I'm a natural receiver, not a giver so I know just how hard it can be to find those obligatory Valentine's Day gifts. Not anymore. Peruse my hand-crafted gift guide and find Valentine's day gifts for your single best friend, your zilla self, and your guy.
For the Cynical Spinster
Cynical spinsters can spoil the cupid cheer. You know who we're talking about - your single friend who refers to "V-Day" as "D-Day" and responds to your wedding plans by reciting divorce statistics and rolling her eyes. Show single ladies in your entourage some extra love this Valentine's.
The best thing you could give a lonesome lady is a red-hot girl's night on the town. We're talking heels, cocktails, tickets to see Beyonce - the whole bit. Trust us, a rockin' ladies night will make up for all of those boring blind dates she's suffered through.
Bridezilla Budget Tip: Save on a piece of fabulous jewelery for you and get chocolates for your best friend with this Valentine's Day sale!
For You, the Bridezilla
Give yourself the gift of looking better and not having to suck in your stomach or spend painful hours on the elliptical. Finally, a body shaper that doesn't make you squirm.
I recently tried out N-fini ShapeWear and concluded it's the perfect splurge. These body shaper by N-Finis are astonishingly comfortable and streamline your figure under that little red dress. I tested the Cami Dress Shaper at a cocktail party and it didn't roll up once. It's a miracle of science! It took at least five pounds off my body in minutes and I felt like I was wearing a pair of pjs.
Bridezilla Budget Tip: N-Fini Shape is giving away one $50 Gift Certificate towards their body shapers! To enter the contest, visit www.n-finishape.com and tell them which shapewear item is a must for your wardrobe.
Valentine's Day Gifts for Guys
All he wants this Valentine's Day - you. Forget the watch, the cologne, the goofy handmade Valentines. Be your un-bridezilla self, cease talking about the upcoming wedding and treat him to a night of your undivided attention. Ditch the diet and cook him his favorite, calorie-rich entree. Relax on the romantic expectations and just have fun.
Bridezilla Budget Tip: Think outside the heart-shaped box and sign him up for a beer of the month club. It's something he'll enjoy and if you're a beer-drinking bridezilla, so will you.
Happy Valentine's Day to our bridezilla readers. We love you guys!
Top Celebrity Engagement Rings Styles for V-Day Proposals
Valentine's Day is one of the most popular engagement days of the year, especially for celebrities and bridezillas. In recent years, Harrison Ford, Vince Vaughn, and even Howard Stern popped the question on Valentine's Day. With the upcoming romantic comedies "Leap Year" and the aptly named "Valentine's Day", Hollywood is buzzing about the perfect engagement ring and hottest proposals.
My ears are perked too. There's nothing like celebrity engagement bling to get a bridezilla's heart rate pumping.
And when I say bling, I mean bling. Amy Adams, Rachel Bilson, and Jessica Alba are all dripping in diamonds and platinum, and each one is a showstopper. Naturally-white platinum means diamonds sparkle that much brighter, and it's durable - all those little celebrity children will have quite the heirloom to look forward to.
Check out some of my favorites. I've even given a couple Bridezilla tips so if you and your man-zilla are craving the celebrity style, you can do so at a slightly lower cost.
You're welcome.
I love Ms Cruz's non-traditional sapphire ring surrounded by pave diamonds. The Kirk Kara look-alike retails for $4,785... without the center stone.
Classic and oh-so shiny, Emily Blunt has a stunner on her ring-finger. Platinum and diamonds (lots and lots of diamonds), Chad Allison's similar style at around $3,500 (center-stoneless of course).
Girlie, you are going to tip right over with a rock like that on your hand. Exactly the way it should be. This platinum sparkler features a cushion cut center ensconced in a halo of more diamonds. All this could be yours at a delightful $4,500 (without center stone) courtesy of Mark Patterson.
There you have it. A platinum showdown. I can't wait to see what other celebrity engagements will abound in only a couple of weeks.
For all of your platinum needs, be sure to check out Precious Platinum . For everything else wedding related, come right back here to Bridezilla. Stay tuned!
Cool Wedding Sites in Crappy Towns Relaunches: Nominate Your Favorite!
Big news in 'zillaland: One of our bridesmaid minions scours the airwaves in search of bridezilla mentions and she heard something that's like music to our ears -- the bridezilla blog was mentioned on Jackie and Bender, a hilarious morning show on KISS FM Seattle! (By the way, Jackie and Bender, we're actually not related to that TV show).
They mentioned bridezilla because of our Cool Wedding Sites in Crappy Town series, which was inspired by KISS FM's popular contest.
We're at it again. The coolest wedding sites in the crappiest towns will get a write up on bridezilla. Here's your chance to nominate the best, the most baller wedding locale in a town so crappy no bridezilla would dare step her stiletto on the soil.
Is there a cool castle in Gary, Indiana? A stunning chateau in Chattanooga, Tennessee? A breathtaking beach in Anywhere, Alabama? Comment below with the location or email us at zilla@bridezilla.com and we'll feature a write up of your cool wedding site in an upcoming post. Bonus points if there's tumble weed blowing around outside.
We're also accepting nominations for crappy wedding sites in cool towns. So if you're inspired to send in a blah banquet hall or horrible hotel that's set against spectacular scenery, send it along!
The Organza Extravaganza: Wedding Fashion Show Highlights
Last weekend, bridezilla went to the biggest wedding show in the West. Although team bridezilla couldn't find the cocktail booth (after hours of walking around with a giant bag of swag), we did manage to make it to the wedding fashion show.
Our fashion finds: Black is making a serious comeback. It might be the new wedding white! We also noticed that bridesmaid dresses are getting seriously short (above the knee) and seriously cute.
Here are some of our favorite dresses. Stay tuned for more highlights from the wedding show. And comment below with your personal favorite gown.
Bridezilla's Picks:
Black and white weddings are making a comeback. We like how this fuchsia bouquet pops against the white gown. However, the hat is a bit too Kentucky Derby for us.
A glimpse of our favorite bridesmaid dress in the show - it's plum delicious!
We adore this romantic, ruffled gown. So traditional and yet so chic.
This bridesmaid gown is universally flattering and elegant. It's yards better than those mass produced, prom-dress lookalikes.
Bridezilla Goes to a Wedding Show
This weekend marks the weekend. The weekend of the Seattle Wedding Show. The weekend that Bridezilla will dive head first into all sorts of splendid samples, fancy fashion shows and delicious wedding industry gossip. I can't hardly wait.
What will I find (other than a headache from three-too-many champagne tastings)?
Stay tuned for all sort of fun tiddlebits and scathing Bridezilla stories coming up.
