Celebrity Wedding Gowns ♥ Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy

This dress has always been one of my favourite. Carolyn Bessette was a former publicist for Calvin Klein and the wife of John F. Kennedy Jr., the son of President John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Upon her marriage, Bessette-Kennedy’s relationship with her husband and her fashion sense became the subject of intense media scrutiny, drawing comparisons to her mother-in-law Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

Bessette-Kennedy asked Narciso Rodriguez of Cerruti to start desig her dress.The wedding took place on a remote Georgia island, Cumberland. Cumberland is 18 miles long and is accessible only by boat. There is no telephone service as none of the roads are paved. The wedding took place in a tiny wooden chapel, the First African Baptist Church, where the ceremony was held by candlelight. The altar was a simple wooden stand, and its cross was made of two sticks held together by pieces of string.

The couple, along with Bessette-Kennedy’s older sister Lauren, tragically died in a plane crash off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard in July 1999.

Strange Wedding Traditions

The one thing every human society has in common is marriage. However some societies have gross, confusing, terrifying, or any mixture of the three wedding traditions. Have a read of these strange wedding traditions…

For tribes of the Tidong community in Northern Borneo newly married couples are required to be confined to their house while not emptying their bowels or urinating for three days and nights. Bonding time?

The Music. Whether it’s a live band or a DJ, couples want their guests out on that dancefloor having the time of their lives. A great band leader or DJ knows how to keep guests entertained without being annoying, as well as when is the right time to play the right music (like not playing a JLo dance hit during dinner). Ask family and friends for recommendations, and try to see your contenders in action before booking. If you’re DIYing with an iPod make sure you have a back up device and a charger on hand just in case. Check you have the right speaker set up and a mic for the ceremony and reception venues.

Celebrity Bridal Gowns ♥ Jacqueline Kennedy

We all know that most celebrity marriages do not last, but we can be sure of one thing: stunning bridal gowns.

Marrying into one of America’s most influential political families, you need to be sure of one thing: you need to have a gorgeous bridal gown. Jacqueline did not disappoint. On her wedding day, she wore a wedding gown designed by Ann Lowe. It was made of fifty yards of silk taffeta and she wore it along with a family heirloom, her grandmother’s veil.

Although weddings are usually accompanied by tears, brides and females of the Tujia people in China take matters to a whole new level. Starting one whole month in advance the bride starts to cry for 1 hour everyday. Ten days into the ordeal the mother joins in, and then ten days later the grandmother does the same. By the end of the month every female in the family is crying alongside the bride. Why? Well, it’s actually supposed to be an expression of joy as the women weep in different tones, kind of like a song…a very salty, wet song.

The Seating Plan. There’s a reason why this task takes so long. Seating your guests is a crucial step because where you sit someone can have a real effect on whether or not they have a good time. While it’s not a bad idea to mix and match your family and friends (not every clique needs to sit at the same table), you do need to be realistic. For example, your work friends probably don’t want to sit with your grandparents, while your great Auntie won’t have much in common with your uni roommate. Oh, and your single friends do not want to sit at the kids’ table -trust me!
