Top Tips for Bridesmaids
First of all, rent the movie ‘Bridesmaids’ for what NOT to do!!
As hysterical as that movie was it would not be so funny in real life.
Avoid any misunderstandings and make sure the Bride & her Bridesmaids are on the same page right from the start with these top tips to help you make it to the wedding day unfrazzled…
♥ Maid of Honour
This duty is like a head Bridesmaid – she will be in charge of all the Brides needs on the day – and delegating – basically she needs to be a bit bossy!
Chose your most reliable friend and not your teenage neice.
♥ Dress & Shoes
Usually Bridesmaids will cover the cost of their own dress and shoes.
Agree the maximium cost before starting to shop, keeping in mind the dress will probably never be worn again.
Alterations are not allowed unless with the Bride’s approval.
If the Bride has the budget – she can certainly gift this to her Bridesmaids.
♥ Hair & Makeup
Because the Bridesmaids are paying for their own dress and shoes – as well as the Hen Party, they deserve a little love from the Bride.
Makeup artists will give you a good discount for a bridal party booking.
♥ Bridal Shower & Hen Party
This is a fun bridesmaid responsibility. Bridesmaids should cover the creative development and costs involved – but consult the Bride regarding definite DO NOTs! Some Brides just are not into tequila slammers or strippers and some really are!!
Check this Hen Party How To out.
♥ Wedding Rehearsal
Bridesmaids, like the rest of the Bridal Party and key people, must attend the rehearsal so they are confident in their role on the day.
Good luck!!

Can you believe this???
The pre-wedding teaser video is pretty cool though!!
And super scarey (if this guy can get a mayoralty, is it possible for the Don to become President)?
Surprise Wedding Proposal!
How cute is this??!!!
American couple Tyler and Chelsea Pulse were married on April 25 of this year. That also happened to be the date of the bride’s first cousin Megan’s eight-year anniversary with her partner Brett.
Because of this coincidence Chelsea hatched a plan with Brett and didn’t let fate decide the outcome of the bouquet toss. The result? Pure unbridled joy that brought tears to our eyes.
A wild winter wedding
Congratulations Billy & Felicity!
What a spectacular wedding day at ruggedly beautiful Piha Beach this weekend.
I couldn’t believe after days of stormy weather, the clouds parted and the sun gloriously shone for this very much in-love couple.
While the groom waited with the expected nervous anticipation on the beach, we all watched the pretty bride make her grand entrance emerging from the dunes in a romantically billowing white dress with lace detail.
They exchanged heartfelt vows while the wind whipped up around them and the white caps floated across the black sparkling sand, setting a scene true to their unique personal style.
Judging from this wild day, their relationship is going to weather any of life’s challenges – with a long range forecast of sunshine!
Wedding Party Responsibilities from laurenconrad.com
Hey, I just found the most GORGEOUS website Lauren Conrad laurenconrad.com – remember her? She had a reality show, what was it called? The Real OC or something that was as ridiculous as Keeping up with the Kardashians Kim Kardashian but about over-priviledged teens that once you tuned in it was hard not to get sucked in.
However she seemed to be the most sensible, went off to work at Teen Vogue and has redeemed herself with this cute little website which includes wedding tips. Have a read:

Miss Piggy & Kermit the Frog call it quits
I know this is a Lucky in Love blog, but I couldn’t help sharing how terrible I feel for poor Miss Piggy and Kermie… after so many years of laughs and fun times, and yes squabbling, it is a shock and very sad they are calling it quits. But you never know – hopefully it won’t be too long before they are lucky in love again.
Rave review!

What a fun and heartfelt marriage ceremony today for Bride and Groom Jenni and Jason. It was a delight for me to be part of their incredible day.
Here’s what the happy couple had to say about about my service:

Wedding Photobombs
I have to laugh at myself, I seem to be captured (unintentionally- and NEVER in my birthday suit!) photobombing wedding photos all the time. As the celebrant is difficult not to get caught in the background of photos – even harder when you’re the wedding event manager and it’s your job to be everywhere at once.
Here are some very cool intentional (and not so intentional) photobombs that might give you some ideas!
