The Wedding Blog That Bites Back!When it comes to weddings, bridezillas dream big. Really big. And way beyond the budget (budget? snort). So how do you live large without cracking that precious nest egg? You rent. That’s right. You can acquire extravagant acts, exotic animals, and aquatic centerpieces for your big day. No muss. No fuss. No schlepping a snow leopard across town.
It’s a wedding world yet to be explored. Presenting…the 5 coolest wedding accessories you don’t have to buy: [click to continue…]
Bridezillas have a sense of humor…especially when it comes to other people’s weddings. In this Fail Blog worthy-find, one of our team members was scouring the shelves of a local store on the hunt for a wedding card to accompany a wedding gift. She found a fancy white and ivory glitter embossed Disney’s Cinderella card, priced at a modest $4.95.
Here is the front. Pretty run of the mill messaging. The horses and carriage. The fairy tale….
Here’s the inside. On the left, Cinderella and Prince Charming dance lovingly away into Happily Ever After amongst a cloud of opalescent glitter and stars. On the right, the following message:
“I believe in magic, in happy-ever-afters and fantasies that really do come true ~ For seeing is believing, and I have living proof because I found forever love in you.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Oooops.
We’re a little tired of watching bridezilla brawls and freak out videos. Can’t a girl have a tantrum or destroy a dress shop without it being blasted all over YouTube?
That’s why we found this video so refreshing. Check it out:
Notice how the bride and groom just keep walking?! Lend the guy a hand. His photography equipment (and all the wedding pictures) were just accidentally baptized. Hope he’s Christian!
Have you ever flipped through your bridal magazines and thought, “Who in their right mind would wear their hair like that?” Or “That dress? Those shoes? You’ve got to be kidding me!” Of course you have. You’re a bridezilla!
Be fun, be daring, be dramatic, but know when you’re about to go overboard. Have one true focal piece and the rest should follow. A focal piece could be hair, make-up, veil, accessories, or dress. A strong lip or eye can go a long way and easily dominate a look.
Here are a few examples of a dramatic look that’s not overpowering.
This dress is so over the top, she does not need to fuss with her hair or extreme makeup. When in doubt, wear a simple French twist and a nude lip.
Notice how her dark lip is very strong, yet doesn’t overwhelm her simple dress.
My favorite look could be the mermaid style; this bride took it one step further with the hair. Normally, I would not recommend doing this, but because the bottom half of the dress is so plain, the curly sea goddess hair works well (and no, there’s nothing Medusa about it).
Have fun with you hair, makeup, dress, or veil. Just beware of the power of a strong focal point. And remember, sometimes there can be too much style for one little zilla!
Most true Bridezillas check their Facebook ten to twenty times a day, just to you know, count the engagement picture comments and check up on the bridesmaids to make sure none of them are gaining weight or (gasp) dying their hair outlandish colors.

One of our favorite boxes to have on your Facebook wedding page is the registry box where guests can see what items you registered for and buy them immediately. Cha-ching-ching! No more handmade quilts from Grandma, now she can buy the Pottery Barn duvet you’ve been coveting without getting up from her rocking chair.
You might have to show Grandma how to use Facebook, but still, having all your wedding info. on your profile page surely cuts down on duplicate gifts, bridesmaid squabbles, and guests showing up late because they didn’t get the memo.
The inspiration section will give your guests a clue on what to wear and what to buy you for that special day. This box is a great way to put all your ideas together and show your wedding planner, guests, and tell the groom-to-be what he needs to do.
