Blissful Wedding Gifts Abound at Eden Home
Bridezilla in Eden! Oh my!
He, Adam. You, Eve. As a Bridezilla, you have plenty of forbidden fruit-laden thoughts on how to while away your newlywed days with dreamy idyll. Grape cluster anyone?
But private paradises require plush amenities, as any Bridezilla knows. Let your guests contribute to your blissed-out future by purchasing you a wedding gift from Eden Home.
Bed, Bath, and Bridezilla
Eden Home specializes in organic, natural, and eco-friendly furnishings for your home and life. What makes these products Bridezilla worthy is that they are the perfect blend of green and glam. Sleep in sumptuous seas of organic bedding, bathe in decadent natural bath products, and then wrap your gorgeous Bridezilla body in fluffy organic towels.
As Bridezillas, we were naturally drawn to the organic diamond bath towels. Putting the dingy Target variety to shame, these amazing beauties are 100% Turkish organic Begama cotton from the Aegean sea region. Each towel is hand-loomed by master weavers in Bursa Turkey using a 300-year-old traditional method. The best part? The more you wash them, the softer they become!
The moral?A life of pristine pampering can be easily plucked with Eden home organic home furnishings. Because even forbidden fruits should be pesticide-free.

Sexy Sleepwear for Buxom Brides - Bridezilla Gets the Scoop!
36D - 25 - 37...the measurements of Marilyn Monroe. While she may have been blessed with the hourglass figure many women wish they had, it comes with a curse. According to Christine Kurek founder of Buxom Inc.., it's nearly impossible to find sexy sleepwear that fits full-busted, average-sized women, like Marilyn Monroe, Jessica Simpson, or Scarlett Johansson.
"Most people assume that if the bust line is fuller than the rest must be fuller. I've been a D-cup since high school, but I wear a size eight pants. When I try on plus-size tops, I'm wading in fabric." Rather than forever avoiding the dressing room, an emboldened Kurek created a line of sexy sleepwear for C-cup and above.
The Beginning of Buxom Inc.
Out of pure shopping frustration, Kurek left a cushy attorney job and started Buxom Inc. earlier this year. The Buxom Inc. line features built-in cups and liner bras, elasticized backs, and adjustable straps for fit and comfort. "The cups are bigger, there's more coverage, and it's made in a way that nothing spills out." Kurek explains.Buxom Bridezilla: Your Cups Shall Not Run Over
With the Buxom Inc. line, busty brides won't want to cower under the covers on their honeymoon.
"Our sleepwear features liner bras, elasticized backs, and adjustable straps for fit and comfort." The Knot chemise, their most popular item features a flattering silhouette and much-need support. Made from 100% silk charmeuse, the Knot comes in red, black, silver, and breathtaking floral prints. According to Kurek, it will soon be available in all white, "perfect for the wedding night, " she insists. Move over Marilyn!
A few of Kurek's favorite things for bosomy bridezillas: the ruffle one-strap cami; the winter white lounge pants with lace trim; the red silk Boyfriend nightshirt; the faux wrap cami; and of course, the aforementioned Knot chemise. Although Kurek doesn't foresee designing anything but sleepwear, she explains that a lot of her items have cross-over potential. That is, they can be worn with jeans outside in a casual setting and to bed.
Buxom Inc. Mentioned in InStyle Magazine
It has been quite a year for Kurek. In August 2008, InStyle Magazine mentioned Buxom Inc. - a major accomplishment for a line that's less than a year old. Although Kurek is proud of her achievements, she hasn't them go to her head. "I just want every woman to feel her best. I don't think you have to wear Prada to be in style." Amen to that.On Vixen: Vampy Holiday Lingerie for Bold Bridezillas
Mistletoe? So middle school! Put the whipcream on his eggnog this year with a festive little lingerie pick from the ever-frisky Bridezilla.com! If you've done the trench coat, the Mrs. Claus suit and the jingle bell bra, you're ready to take holiday cheer to a classy new level. Let's start shopping!
Budget Bridezillas: Affinitas Intimates is frugal and foxy
French lingerie is all the rage (as always), so if you want to do your best Giselle impression this holiday without having to fork out the supermodel's beloved euros, get your French fix from Affinitas Intimates instead. The company was generous enough to send us a sample of their Alice set, and we were very impressed with the sheer comfort and sexy extras you don't usually find in less-expensive lingerie. We loved the Alice set for it's special jewels, foxy lace, and second-skin fit that made us feel sexy all day! At $15 dollars for the boy shorts and $25 for the bra, this is a hot holiday lingerie option that still leaves money for optional props like a puppy, a tub of frosting, and dueling harmonicas(hey, whatever floats your boat!). Check out the full line here.
Cozy-sexy lingerie for a come-hither Christmas morning
After a knock-down, drag-out lovefest, go mellow Christmas morning with this cutely sexy set from WeddingStand. The sparkly boy shorts and boyfriend tank brilliantly detract from your mussed hair and smudged eyeliner, so don accordingly. The glimmer or rhinestones will reflect the twinkle in his eye when he looks at his beloved brideizlla, and you'll be comfy enough for a relaxed day of Christmas canoodling on the couch. Hot buttered rums and a Bing Crosby CD recommended but not required.
Baby, it's hot in here. Enjoy a steamy holiday season and be snug as two turtledoves with Bridezilla's brilliant holiday lingerie spectacular!
Bridezilla Gift Guide: The Snow Queen
For the one who navigates winter with a frosty beauty and regal elegance, only a gift fit for a Snow Queen will do! Whether sledding through the snow or curled up by the fire, the Snow Queen always manages to look like a Dr. Zhivago extra with her furry fashion and flawless winter makeup. For gifts to incur favor from the Queen, read on!
Snowflakes that stay on your nose and eyelashes
The Snow Queen is no stranger to sparkle. She's received every sparkly scarf, shoe and picture frame in the book. So for a look as fresh as first snow, dazzle her with these Shu Uemura Illumi-Decor lashes. 
The perfect twist on tired winter sparkles, these chic false eyelashes are cunningly studded with pieces of iridescent sequins. Add some glitter to that eyelash flutter, and give the Snow Queen a stunning little gift she can use for many winters to come with this foxy find.
Snow White, Rose Red
No cozy winter is complete without some tunes to crank as the snow patters outside. The Snow Queen is way too sophisticated for the average corny Christmas music-she likes her chipmunks where she can see them. Never fear, Bridezilla has the perfect holiday soundtrack for your Snow White, Rose Red beauty queen. Here's two picks for those who like their roses velvety-or thorny.
Tori Amos Live at Montreux 1991-1992
Released just this year, this fascinating portrayal of the flame-haired songtress chronicles the arc of Amos's career in this two-concert series. The first features her earth-shattering Little EarthQuakes breakout music, and the second is just a few months later. Tori Amos is a gripping performer, and her gorgeous, almost gutteral lyrics are the perfect music to wrap gifts by or address wedding invitation on a wintry night in. Classics include "Precious Things," "Leather," and um "Winter," Ok, it's not the most creative choice, but still amazing. Don't believe us? Warm up to Tori with this beautiful winter video for "Sleeps with Butterflies" below:
The Pierces: Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge
If you like your roses a little on the prickly side, look no further than the sultry, swingin' tunes of The Pierces. How much do we love this spooky homeschooled twosome from Alabama? Infinity! From "Lights on" to "Turn on Billie" this is the perfect music to get a Snow Queen in a festive mood, or, as the Pierces lyrics go "paint the town blue cuz baby red is so passe." Melt a snow queen with this cheeky-charming music pick from The Pierces.
Ice Candy for her Winter Wedding
The average veil will never do for a wintry Bridezilla. Draw inspiration from these statuesque crystal headpieces on display at a holiday gala at Galeries Lafayette, Paris. We love how the arc of the sparkly rocks seems to mimic ic-flocked branches. Here's an equally stunning (though slightly less towering) option from Etsy.
More great Snow Queen picks after the break, so read on....
