Kim Kardashians Engaged!!!!!

2011-05-26T08:48:00.000-07:00

Sorry, fellas. Kim Kardashian is officially off the market!

After a relatively short six months of dating, New Jersey Nets forward Kris Humphries popped the question to Kim.

The proposal took place one week ago, on May 18, when the 26-year-old Humphries surprised his 30-year-old love in her Beverly Hills home. When she entered her bedroom, she saw Humphries already on bended knee with red rose petals forming what was by then a hopefully obvious question: "Will you marry me?"

"I didn't expect this at all," the bride-to-be told People. "I was in such shock. I never thought it would happen at home, and I never thought now."

Another thing she couldn't have expected: the size of that rock. Humphries' question was eased along by the offering of a custom-designed 20.5-carat Lorrain Schwartz diamond engagement ring.

Yes, you read that right: 20.5 carats. Just so you know what kind of bauble we're dealing with here, it surpasses that of even a duchess, as Kate Middleton's massive sapphire engagement ring from Prince William is a relatively paltry 18 carats.

Top Ten Wedding Dresses From Spring 2011 Bridal Week

2011-05-18T09:18:00.000-07:00

It's not easy to play favorites, especially when faced with so many gorgeous gowns, but a girl's gotta choose! See my top ten wedding dresses from the recent bridal fashion week, and vote for the ones you love, after the jump.

Best Cap Sleeve Gown

This Jenny Packham style feels modest yet fun at the same time, thanks to the addition of the silver mini-sleeves. It's definitely a one-of-a-kind look for a bride who wants to stand out.
Best Details

Um...just too perfect for words, right? Everything about this Oscar De La Renta gown screams old world craftsmanship and intricacy of design. I loved the way it fluttered when it moved down the runway.
Best One-Shoulder Dress

Carolina Herrera's Lena Horne-inspired wedding dress was a total stunner, right down to the interesting mix of fabrics.
Best Back

Peplum details are so chic, and the combo of peplum plus mermaid silhouette looks especially fantastic from the rear, as demonstrated by this top-notch Badgley Michka bridal design.
Best Slit

Calling all supersexy brides-to-be: Monique Lhuillier's racy slit dress maintains elegant simplicity everywhere else but shows plenty of leg. Definitely a winner if you've got great gams and want to show 'em off but still wear a long dress.
Best Belted Gown

The illusion fabric and pretty grey belt transforms an otherwise basic Angel Sanchez strapless into a dreamy confection—plus, it's a total body-flatterer.
Best Simple Little White Dress

Sometimes you just want a perfect-fit dress without too many frills. I think this Amsale style would be ideal for a City Hall or backyard bride looking for style without fuss.
Best Romantic Little White Dress

Marchesa's little white dress goes in an entirely different direction, with all the drama of a full-length gown, just in abbreviated form. This would be an excellent "change into" dress for a showstopping bride.
Best Non-White Dress

As you guys already know, non-white wedding gowns were a HUGE trend this season. There were so many interesting colors to choose from, but this Vera Wang greyish/purple gown stole my heart. It has a very bridal feeling, yet a totally surprising hue—love.
Best Classic

Lela Rose's exceptionally sophisticated sleeveless wedding dress is one of those rare styles that will garner as much approval from grandma as it will your college sorority BFF bridesmaids. The special fabric also makes it a cut above the rest.
Okay, everyone...now that I've shown you what I loved best from bridal week, give me some feedback please. I'd love to know what catches your eye here—and why.

Top 10 Reasons to Hire a Wedding Planner

2011-05-17T12:21:00.000-07:00

Written By Crystal Kelly On May 17, 2011

10. Saves time – Planning wedding takes enormous amount of time. In fact, the average couple spends well over 200 hours planning their special day. A good wedding planner will save you time and energy by researching vendors, taking care of the many, many details, and coming up with various creative ideas to make your wedding amazing!

9. Saves money – Weddings can be extremely expensive. However, by hiring a wedding planner, couples can save a great deal of money. Because wedding planners provide so much business to vendors, they are often able to negotiate discounts for their clients. Wedding planners are also well-versed at helping couples set budgets and sticking to them.

8. Saves relationships – Weddings are very stressful. This stress often results in many arguments for couples as well as with family members and friends. Wedding planners have been there time and time again and know how to avoid such problems before they begin as well as act as a buffer when there are conflicts. Wedding planners are also able to take on the responsibilities often assigned to loved ones so that everyone is able to enjoy the wedding. Remember, you still want a relationship with your mother well after your wedding!

7. Ensures dreams are made realities – Most have been dreaming of their wedding day their entire life. Wedding planners work for the couple and ensure that all desires are met (and often surpassed)!

6. Offers advice – Wedding planners have planned countless weddings and know exactly what works and what doesn’t. They are also knowledgeable on wedding etiquette. Furthermore, wedding planners are able to recommend competent vendors, based on personal experience.

5. Acts as the “go to person” – The average wedding has at least 22 different vendors. Combine that with the entire wedding party and all of the guests and that is a lot of people with questions and concerns! By hiring a wedding planner, couples can simply tell others “talk to the wedding planner!”

4. Creates schedules – There are so many events leading up to the big day! Couple that with the many things that happen during the wedding and who can keep track? The wedding planner can! Wedding planners are well-versed at making detailed itineraries for all involved (including other vendors) and making sure that everything happens on time!

3. Handles crisis – Whether we like it or not, most big events involve crisis. Who really wants to deal on their wedding day with the bakery not delivering the cake on time or the flower girl throwing a tantrum? No one! Wedding planners know how to handle all unforeseen circumstances.

2. Orchestrates from rehearsal through the end of reception – Do you want to be responsible for organizing rehearsal or making sure the bridal party is properly lined up? How about making sure that the guest who had a little too much to drink departs safely? Wedding planners orchestrate from rehearsal through the end of the reception, ensuring everything goes off without a hitch!

1. Minimizes stress and maximizes fun! – Hiring a wedding planner ensures that you will have a worry-free and stress-free day, thus, allowing you to enjoy your day like your guests!

The Role Of A Wedding Planner & Coordinator Chance To Win A Full Service Wedding Design Package

2011-05-17T11:06:00.000-07:00

When hiring only a wedding coordinator for the day it is important that you understand the difference between a wedding coordinator and that of a wedding planner. As a wedding planner and a wedding coordinator, I have notice the two roles often being mistaken for one another when I am hired for Coordination only. A wedding planner will assist you with your planning process, helping you save money and time. A wedding coordinator will manage the overall day and ensure that everything runs smoothly, they are not hired as your planner, but more as a manager.

By the time your wedding coordinator comes on scene of the wedding all the wedding planning has been completed and now the final details are coming together. With only four weeks left until the wedding, your coordinator will meet with you and go over all the small details of the wedding, ensure that nothing has been forgotten and contact all your vendors to help expedite the final vendor meetings.
A wedding coordinator will work with you and your vendors to create a wedding day timeline. I know that many brides don’t want to worry about the time on their wedding day, but your wedding coordinator and vendors, will need to know the sequence that the day will unfold, so they may properly prepare and your guests will thank you for being on time, as they may be starving or sitting out in the hot sun waiting for you to walk down the isle.
The day before the wedding your Wedding Coordinator will be present at the Rehearsal and provide etiquette and creative advice. They will meet your wedding party and answer any questions that they may have
.

A Wedding Coordinator and often an assistant depending on the size of the wedding, will be on hand on the day of the wedding. They will be there to manage the day, from the moment you walk down the isle to the last major element of the evening. They cue the wedding party when it is there turn to walk down the isle, fluff the brides dress one more time before her big reveal, round up the right family members and send them off to the formal photo location, put the final details into your reception before the guests arrive, greet your guests, cue the grand entrance, dinner, speeches, cake cutting and garter/flower toss. We ensure that all your vendors are where they are suppose to be and that they carry out their contractual obligations. A Wedding Coordinator can quickly adapt and wears many hats to make sure the job is done and the Bride, Groom, Wedding Party and Family are relaxed and enjoying the whole day together. Hiring a Wedding Coordinator, is going to make your wedding day so much more enjoyable, and you will have peace of mind knowing that you and your family won’t have to worry about all the little details on the Wedding Day.
