Dance Fever

Dancing is back! Whether it's showy, romantic or theatrical - it's a performance your guests won't forget. Most of all enjoy yourself, take lessons with friends or make it a date night. It's your day!

27 Dresses - Did you see the movie or can you just look in your closet?

Too many fancy dresses and nowhere to go? Don't fool yourself into thinking you will wear certain dresses again- styles change, your size may change or too many people have seen it.

You can consign here and you may even find something else you like!

Wedding Dress Preservation

It's going to cost you about $120-200 to do this. Don't keep it in the attic or the basement. Even if your daughter is not going to wear it as it is, you can take pieces from it and customize it. Sometimes, though, nature takes its course depending on the material....

Put Together Your Wedding Look

Don't know how to put your look together? You can always count on JCREW and Martha Stewart...

What about the men?

Maybe you are tired of the same menswear - tuxedo, blue blazer and khakis - why not design your own shirt?

The Detroit Free Press reported the trends for 2010: photo booths, cupcakes, dancing to and from the altar (The Office) and special lighting elements. Grey will be popular, along with patterned bridesmaid dresses. (How opposite).

Heel Protector - Saw these high heel protectors in two newspaper reviews. Seems the most useful when the shoe is hidden under a wedding dress, maybe for an outdoor wedding for those who wish to add the height. Of course, flip flops and sneakers have also been used! www.thesolemates.com

Planning: Going Green: Eco-friendly weddings. Much easier to coordinate if you can find things in one place.
