It’s been a crazy week but I’ve still managed to find time to surf the web looking for tasty wedding-related morsels!  Check out my favorites from this week:

• A new wedding planning website, The Wedding Vine, is busy getting everything up and running.  In the meantime, they have some great informative articles from experts around the web, including this one from Wedding Paper Divas!  Sign up for their free wedding report for 10 tips to get you well on your way to having the perfect wedding day!

• Wedded Bits from Brides.com was my first source for the breaking news that Cole Haan just released a bridal line of their Nike Air heels!  I sooo wish these had been aroung for my wedding!

• I am loving this post on DIY hanging lanterns from joliejolie design blog.  With instructions on how to hang the lanterns in even the strictest of ballrooms, this post is invaluable for thrifty brides!

• I greatly enjoy the humor and wit in almost every post on GroomsAdvice, the official blog of The Man Registry.  Check out this Wedding Site Fail, a story about the NFL Player cut from the team right before his wedding, and this video from a marriage proposal on The Price is Right!

Reality TV has it’s drawbacks—I can’t stand any game show except for Jeopardy!, and I find a half hour of watching grown men injure themselves in the name of comedy to be positively dull—but I also can’t help but love the ridiculous antics that reality TV brides put on display. From the outrageous behavior of some truly bratty bridezillas to that sweet moment when a girl finds the dress she’s been dreaming of, here’s a list of some of our favorite wedding shows.

• TLC’s Say Yes to the Dress: It’s like shopping from your couch! We love seeing the parade of different styles on this show, but we love it even more when the bride’s mother/grandmothers/aunts/friends/cousins/random acquaintances all burst into tears when she finds the perfect dress. Classic.

• FitTV’s Buff Brides: This show is full of workout inspiration, great healthy eating and living tips and it makes us feel like we are working towards our fitness goals while we sit on the couch. At least we are thinking about it…

• WEtv’s Bridezillas and Rich Bride, Poor Bride: WEtv has a wealth of fun wedding shows, but we particularly love watching spoiled brides having massive meltdowns! Who doesn’t?

• Bravo’s Project Runway and Top Chef: We know these shows aren’t overtly about weddings per se, but whenever there’s a competition involving haute couture or culinary expertise, you can be sure a wedding episode is sure to follow. We particularly loved Gail Simmon’s bridal shower on Top Chef and all of the fun and funky gowns in the finale of the last season of Project Runway.

What about you? Do you have any wedding TV addicitons that we left out?

If you’re looking for fun and yet elegance, think bright yellow and subdued gray. It’s a winning combination that though started in spring will take you all the way into fall. Here are some ways to add this color theme throughout your wedding!

Yelllow and gray look fabulous together especially on our Two Birds Wedding Invitations in Mustard. It’s a beautiful way to introduce guests to your color theme. Martha Stewart’s Carnival Stand and Sweet Little Daisies Cake are all about bright colors and sweets.
