  1. This book was my bible. . .
    I used the 4th edition to plan my wedding last year, and was able to save a considerable amount of money. To be honest, I was amazed to find several negative reviews stating the book was "tacky" and "paranoid". Everytime one of my friends becomes engaged I send a copy to...
  2. Great for overall planning, not just saving money.
    I just got engaged a few months ago, and another bride-to-be recommended this book. I've already found it to be extremely helpful in my planning, as the book thoroughly reviews your options for various aspects of the wedding such as bride/bridesmaids dresses, invitations, photography, etc. I...

Is it proper bridal etiquette to purchase your brides maids dresses?

My sister is getting married in March of 2010. She has graciously asked me to be in her wedding party, but said I must purchase my own dress. The dress she wants me to wear costs $110. I told her I would have to wait because there's no way I...


Bridesmaids are generally expected to pay for their own wedding-day ensemble (shoes and jewelry included). If you're a maid and you think the cost is going to be an issue, voice your concerns to the bride.

Travel Etiquette: Airplane Hygiene, Far-Off Wedding Locations

Q: My friend is getting married at her grandparents' cabin in Colorado. We live in Texas. This cabin is 40 miles from the nearest town and 174 miles from the nearest major airport. The nearest town does have its own regional airport, but it's very costly to fly into it. My friend also wants me to help plan the wedding , even though I'm not sure I can afford to go! Isn't it kind of inconsiderate to have your wedding somewhere that's inconvenient and/or expensive for most guests to get to? And if it is, how do I tell her that?

A: I don't think there's anything intrinsically rude about having your wedding in an unusual place. After all, it's your wedding, and, ideally, you're only going to do it once, so why not have it somewhere memorable? It is, however, rude to have your wedding in the middle of nowhere and expect all your friends and relatives to come. The more inconvenient it is to get somewhere, the fewer "yes" RSVPs you're going to get. That's just a fact, and you're not allowed to whine about how if Aunt Isabelle really loved you, she'd find a way to make it to the Alaskan tundra .

And the bride wore black | Fashion | Kate Middleton | Vera Wang ...

After a season of high-profile weddings, beginning with Kate Middleton’s royal affair and culminating with Kim Kardashian’s blowout, could bridal designers be experiencing white-dress fatigue?

For her Fall 2012 Bridal Show this month, Vera Wang, who designed Ms. Kardashian’s wedding dress and those of countless other famous brides, sent a flock of black wedding dresses down the runway.

“I found black to be fresh and tongue-in-cheek,” Ms. Wang said. “With all the big weddings that happened this year, it was fun to step out of the box.”

Given Ms. Wang’s reputation as a setter of trends — wedding attire as ready-to-wear; gowns with swirls of ruffles (see Chelsea Clinton) — the collection caused quite a front-row stir.

“I did take it to a witchy kind of place,” Wang admitted. “For me, it helped build a sense of mystery that I was hungry for. And it added this sensuality and sexuality and a little bit of severity, too.” “I wore white on my wedding day,” Ms. Wang said. “I was very frustrated, it being so traditional at the time, but the bridal industry wasn’t so evolved back then....

Since my engagement, I’ve been taking full advantage of my new role as bride-to-be, wearing white to every wedding-related event. Our engagement party? Searching for our venue? Shopping for my wedding gown? You guessed it — I showed up to each occasion decked out in ivory. I plan on continuing this tradition at my bridal shower next year…with an unexpected twist.
