Top Ten Things Every Bridezilla Needs-#10
Bridezilla Must-Have #10.A hot designer oversized tote. Why? Because Bridezilla knows name brands are scientifically proven to boost self confidence and chase away bridal blues! These bags are perfect for looking chic on the street, storing your massive wedding portfolio, your faithful pup Lola, and cramming truffles in your purse during your next meeting with your wedding planner. Yummy!
We like this one by Valentino because its bridal without being barfworthy:

Top Ten Things Every Bridezilla Needs-#9
Bridezilla Must-Have #9.An awesome pair of over sized sunglasses. Sure, the scrawny granola twins at your yoga class can gossip about your hangover, but they can't actually prove anything. Keep those hobo bags under your eyes hidden with a sweet pair of shades. Also good for discreetly checking out male eye candy when china shopping with the groom. Tee hee.
We're a little over the whole Jackie O racoon look though, so why not rock these Ray-bans instead? We think they're sexZee.

Top Ten Things Every Bridezilla Needs-#6
Bridezilla Must-Have #6. One knockout pair of heels. In truth, nothing makes bridezillas feel more confident than some sensational foot fashion. Much like our godzilla godmothers, we brazen brides know the value of leverage aka a good pair of stilettos-all the better to stomp a small city or score a sample sale discount with! Stand taller, stroll sexier, and make your calves look curvier with a traffic-stopping pair of stilettos like these below. Just strap on for instant confidence.
We love this pair by Betsey Johnson. Haute house-on-the-prairie? So Bridezilla!

Top Ten Things Every Bridezilla Needs-#4
Bridezilla Must-Have #4. Spanx. Possibly the most amazing invention of the 21st century, spanx are like spandex, but for brides and other bulgy women instead of hard-bodied eighties athletes. Anyways, they are less constricting than corsets and more seamless than a thong, but they literally make you look at least a size smaller, no starving yourself or 6 a.m. spinning classes needed. Plus, you can wear them under everything! These sleek slimmers are a must for your wedding day and beyond.
We like these ones in white:

Top Ten Things Every Bridezilla Needs-#2
Bridezilla Must-Have #2. A Right Hand Ring. While it is true bridezillas do often marry billionaires because we are so unusually beautiful and exceptional, we are by no means gold diggers. On the contrary, bridezillas' fierce fashion sense is matched only by our fierce independence. Hence our number two pick for bridezilla booty, the right hand ring! Right hand rings are a raging hot trend right now, and we adore it. Self-love is a founding bridezilla principal, so why not show your inner admiration with some bright bling you bought yourself?
We like this ring because it is classic and regal, much like Bridezilla herself!

Top Ten Things Every Bridezilla Needs-#1
Bridezilla Must-Have #1. This BCBG dress. This fabulous dress is literally indispensable for any bride and especially bridezillas. Gorgeous, flowy, chic and the ideal blurred line between formal and semi-formal, this uber-fashionable frock is perfect for a rehearsal dinner dress, a reception dress, or even a wedding dress. Bridezilla bonus tip: this would make a great destination wedding dress because it is naturally crinkly so you wouldn't have to worry too much about steaming it or anything. Buy it because you can literally wear it for ever.

Glide down the aisle with blister-free toes
Sure, we Bridezillas do our fair amount of suffering for fashion, but why hobble when you don't have to? Real Simple suggests this easy, unexpected fix in the form of Bodyglide, normally targeted at triathletes who want to prevent chafing. Fortunately for stiletto-clad ladies like us, you can also roll it on wherever shoes rub uncomfortably. It'll prevent blisters and other unsightly redness, so your guests will focus on your Manolos, not your feet!

Spring Fun:The Vera Wang Wedding Dress Up Game
In honor of spring wedding fashion, here's a little dress-up game from Vera Wang to get you in the mood for wedding dress shopping!
Bridezilla Beware: these endless fashion combos are addictive!
When Is A Tiara Too Much?
We can appreciate a tiara as well as anybody, if not more - we've rocked them from playing dress-up to playing prom queen. The temptation is great to bring that tradition all the way to the altar, but it is a look you can pull off or should you leave it aside? The way we figure it, there are two ways you can go with a tiara. If your wedding fits one of these profiles, then consider yourself crowned!
The Bridezilla Bouquet
You're putting a lot of thought into every other aspect of your wedding - why not the bridal bouquet, too? Skip traditional roses and baby's breath and catch attention with a bridal bouquet that'll go down in history. Well, okay, reflect history at least. Consult the Dictionary of Flowers for information on what certain types of flowers represent, or take a look at Bridezilla's favorite flowers for ideas on how to put together the fiercest bouquet.
Bridezilla Gets Dressed: Four Frocks To Get You To The Wedding Day
The wedding dress is the most important gown you'll buy, we won't contest that. But what about all the pre-wedding events you have to pass through to arrive at the big day? Bridezilla would never dream of being dressed up less-than-perfect, so make sure all eyes are on you with the prettiest multi-purpose dresses. Here are four dresses to get you through four big events: the engagement party, the bridal shower, the bachelorette party, and the pre-wedding pampering.
Bridezilla This Minute: The Non-Bouquet
How much does Bridezilla love this glittery non-floral bouquet from Vintage Magpie? Let us count the ways! Not only does its crystalline brilliance beat the knickers off some wilted allergy-inducing batch o' blooms, but it singlehandedly discourages one of our least favorite wedding traditions: tossing the bouquet.
Read on to discover why Bridezilla shuns this harmful ritual, as well as some great bouquet toss alternatives.
Runway Fresh Video: Oscar De La Renta's Spring 2008 Collection

Carolina Herrera Spring 2008: Bridezilla picks Best City, Country, and Cathedral Wedding Dress
Bridezilla just had the honor of viewing the always-remarkable Carolina Herrera's Spring 2008 bridal collection. Because Herrera's wedding gowns are unfailingly romantic, crisp, tailored, and modern, we decided to spare you a full review and instead choose the best City, Country and Cathedral wedding dress created by Carolina Herrera this season. From bright lights, big city to Bibles and stained glass, Bridezilla's has handpicked the best Herrera gown for you!

Today is a truly banner moment in the admittedly always- blissful life of Bridezilla...it is the moment when our dream of fierce fashion for the wedding masses has finally been realized.
In addition to our very own Lil Shop of Zilla, we have opened a second branch, The Bridezilla Boutique, comprised purely of brand-name bridezilla fashion and specialty goods. Why? Because Bridezilla has to look good in all phases of wedding planning, from beauty sleeping to stairmastering, and no one understands that better than Miss B herself.

How do we love them? Let's count the ways.
1. They're python.
2. They're bronze, which is gold with a dash of sexy.
3. They're Marc Jacobs.
3. They're majorly on sale, and making us frantically find room in our monthly Utterly Amazing Shoes You Need to Buy Right Now budget.
Bridezilla Means Business: Dressing The Part and Get Your Way
It's practically a full-time job, being one of us - you flit from meeting to meeting, wrangle subordinates (although you shouldn't let your bridesmaids hear you call them that), take the work home with you, and like any true career, it's not what you do, it's who you are.
Whether you're haggling with florists over the bulk price of roses or convincing your wedding planner that you need the last minute change of petits fours to cupcakes, sometimes you just have to dress the part! You've got the wedding dress for your promotion from fiance to bride, but in the meantime, make sure your closet has at least one outfit suitable for closing the deal - you'll get sixteen dozen roses at cost if you have to dethorn them yourself, or heads will roll.
Featured Product: Bridezilla Latte Stein
Hee hee, how we love the word "stein", so burly and German! It is a proven fact that Bridezillas feel bold and motivated as long as they are brandishing this fashionable beverage holder throughout their busy day!
In truth, the Bridezilla's life is an absolute ocean of multi-tasking-wedding planning, work, wedding planning at work- and our brand-new Bridezilla stein is the best partner in crime a girl could ask for!
Just fill with a foamy morning latte to keep fresh and alert through your wedding dress fitting, and by the time dinner with the MIL-zilla rolls around, well, they don't call it a stein for nothin'.
In short, administering your anti-psychotics has never been so effortless! Click here to procure your very own Bridezilla stein, for all your drinking enjoyment.
Every Boy's Crazy About A Sharp-Dressed Bridezilla
We're already nuts about DSquared's fabulous Italy-by-way-of-Canada preppy aesthetic, but when we saw this bracelet, we realized the true possibilities of unisex preppy fashion. We're big fans of jangly, gold things (hey, Bridezilla never claimed to be complex in her style tastes), and this is the sort of piece that you can get away with gifting to the fiance and stealing back at your pleasure.
Bridezilla Loves The Stylish Bride
So you have a wedding planner - how about a wedding stylist? The Stylish Bride is a Bridezilla's dream come true. Why leave one of the most important elements of your wedding up to chance when you could be working side-by-side with a professional bridal stylist? She'll be by your side from the first consultation, when you decide together what you're looking for, all the way through to shopping for the accessories, finding the best hair and makeup artists, and even making sure you're looking perfect on the day of your wedding.
Continue Reading Bridezilla Loves The Stylish Bride »Four Best Destination Wedding Dresses
Bridezillas would never go for tacky midriff-baring gowns (what's the destination, junior high?), but if you're going to the islands or elsewhere for your wedding, you probably don't want layers of lace and silk weighing you down as you walk the aisle. While it's the Bridezilla's natural tendency to outshine everything, even the scenery, this is a time when less is more.
Bridalize Your Look
Sure, everyone should just psychically know you're getting married, or at least know by looking at the rock you're flashing. (It's like the beauty queen wave, flick your wrist from side to side and make sure your ring is catching the light.) Unfortunately it's not quite polite to introduce yourself as, "[Your Name Here], the future Mrs. of [His Name Here], [Wedding Date], [Wedding Venue], wearing a dress designed by [Vera Wang goes here]," etc.
But just because you can't take out billboards announcing your engagement (you know; you've checked), that doesn't mean you should go around feeling like anything less than a Bridezilla-to-be. Don't let the temptation to wear your veil with everything overtake you; express it instead with the summer's best shades of white!

Baccus Cream Necklace by Kleshna
Bridezilla Gets Dressed: RSVP or Else
1. The color is listed as "Red Quasar," which sounds really cool and sci-fi but mostly seems to be code for "really smoking hot patent red that will make men fall at your feet." We can see how that name would be too long, though.
2. The ingenious heel will guarantee that not only will you not be caught wearing any random trendy platform or stiletto, you'll be actively setting a trend for all wannabe 'Zillas to emulate. And if there's anything Bridezilla's better at than perfectly working a trend, it's starting new ones.
3. It's right there in the name! Put these on for mandatory ass-kicking of any guest that has the nerve to make you wait over a week for their gracious acceptances (sending their regrets after you went to all that trouble to come up with the perfect list? They wouldn't dare). Simply strap on your ruby RSVP slippers and threaten to release the flying monkeys unless they don't check the box marked 'Yes' and get the card in the mail.
Wedding Frock O' the Week: Claire Pettibone Sylvia
The only word to describe this Claire Pettibone wedding gown is exquisite. The graceful skirts of this elegant A-line fall just shy of sheath, so it achieves a flattering figure-hugging silhouette while still allowing for an intriguing sway of movement swishing around the ankles. Delicate French Chantilly lace shot through with ivory and silver embroidery and guipure fringe, then bedecked with beading, the craftsmanship of this Claire Pettibone gown is plain gorgeous. The centerpiece of the gown is undoubtedly the decadently sexy neckline, which calls attention to the season's hottest bridal body part: the clavicle.
Wednesday Brand Name Pronunciation: Proenza Schouler
Proenza Schouler
Pronunciation: pro-en-za skool-er
Proenza's perfect honeymoon look.
Cocktail Chatter Cliff's Notes: Can you imagine partnering with your former lover on a luxury design brand, like Proenza Schouler designers Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough did? And then to name the label after your mothers' maiden names? So avante garde! You can totally see their Parsons School of Design breeding in their mod, edgy, and tailored clothing style.
It's such a Cinderella story how Hernandez got the label's big break: he encountered the Fairy Godmother of Fashion, Vogue Editor Anna Wintour, on a plane, and convinced the stewardess to send her a napkin detailing his love and vision for fashion. A few weeks later Hernandez got a call from Michael Kors, courtesy of Wintour, and went to work. Now one of the most popular fashion lines on the runway today, when Proenza Schouler's first collection debuted in Barney's, the entire rack was purchased by none other than the two teenage daughters of Danielle Steele!
The Only Jeans That You Should Be Wearing
Thus begins the dawn of denim: there are simply too many great brands of jeans out there for Bridezilla's like us to miss. Sevens have become more sorority girl than red carpet ready, but don't fret, there are other options out there for the discerning denim customer. Don't just stumble blindly into the Levi's-strewn abyss, follow our advice for jeans so fab you'll be wearing them everywhere.

Wedding Frock O' the Week: Lazaro
Did someone order an Urban Princess? This lovely Lazaro wedding gown, courtesy of the Spring 2006 collection, will have your guests catching their collective breaths.
Full of sultry attitude with just the right touch of regal, we love how the sexy froth of the English net gown flows from the hard metal beading intricately encrusting the lace bodice. The sparkle net underlay is pure fashion fantasy and the full gathered skirt is just big enough to be oh-so-bridal, without bordering into ostentatious. You'll feel like wedding royalty as you hold court in this couture vision.
