Getting Inspiration from Movies

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

I’m sure we all fell in love with movies like “My Bestfriend’s Wedding,” “wishing and hoping and praying” that while our wedding day won’t be such a disaster, our bridesmaids and we would one day look as beautiful as Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz. If you haven’t seen this one or other wedding movies listed here, I’d say do some research. It’ll give you ideas, help you get inspired and have fun while doing it!

Who could forget that lavender dress that Julia Roberts wore as the Maid of Honor? Kimberly Wallace played by Cameron Diaz’s character definitely had an elegant wedding. Wedding Paper Divas Letterpress Collection and Floral Damask wedding invitations in Burgundy would be fitting.   (Photo from Yahoo! Movies.)

Sex in the City’s Carrie Bradshaw did it ‘Big’ on her wedding day with big hair, dramatic colors and couture dresses in the movie. Her invitations would have to have her signature piece, a big, beautiful flower. (Photo from NY Daily News.)

3) Though it took place in the 80’s, what makes, “The Wedding Singer” so inspiring is the songs, characters and that it is funny. And simple and sweet like the Sassy Stripes Wedding Invitations in Bisque.  (Photo from Yahoo! Movies.)

4) Runaway Bride another movie starring Julia Roberts showcased a variety of wedding styles. This one is country chic and my favorite in the movie. And Butterfly Love Wedding Invitations in Pumpkin perfectly matches the romance and beauty of the scene. (Photo from Yahoo! Movies.)

Fun Ideas for your Night-Before Slumber Party

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

I adore the idea of an all-girl slumber party the night before your wedding. You will likely be a little nervous and jittery all night anyway, so why not gather your closest girlfriends for some giggles and games before your big day? To make the most of your last night of girly fun (without compromising your radiant glow the next morning!), try some of these delightful ideas:

  • Break out the classic boardgames! If you can find your old versions of Mall Madness or Truth or Dare, you can have a blast reviving your favorite games from the past. Life, Twister and Jenga are always good for a laugh!
  • Watch your favorite romantic movies. Curl up on the couch in your “bride” pajamas and watch “The Princess Bride” for the millionth time, but steer clear of tearjerkers! Watch something that will make you smile in anticipation of your nuptials, like “Wedding Crashers” or “When Harry Met Sally.”
  • Look through old photo albums or yearbooks. Laugh hysterically at your best friend’s rockin’ 90’s hairstyle in her senior picture, reminisce about your college days and discuss how much your taste in men has improved since the ninth grade!
  • Keep up with your beauty routine. The day before your wedding, you are likely to have already had a manicure, pedicure, thorough shower and intense moisturizing session. That night, don’t ruin all your hard work by drinking too much alcohol, staying up late or chowing down on junk food, or you might end up looking puffy for your ceremony. Drink plenty of water and snack on fruits and veggie crudites instead.
