Hot or Not: Bridezilla… Will you be the next Beast?

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

Dont be a bridal nightmare by turning into a control freak. Relax and stay calm.

You can’t deny it so don’t even try. Bridezillas has taken the airwaves by storm for the past 3 years! Even the most timid of us take a peak at this outrageous show every now and then. I know when I was planning my wedding I forced my fiance to watch it with me every Sunday night! His reply; “this better not even be you, so don’t take any pointers from these nuts!” (more…)

I have to admit, I do not like gag cake toppers. While they are traditional, they are ugly and outdated. The little figures of a bride and groom were in no way making an appearance atop my wedding cake! Going this route may be something you really like, but there are more updated, contemporary ways to top your cake. Go for flowers, a fondant bow, or you can even find some cool decorated letters to make a monogram. Just please, leave the little people alone! (more…)

You can tell women to “back off’ with a “mangagement” ring for him, or if he is moving too slow in popping the question, beat him to the punch! This is a phenom that hasn’t quite developed into a true “trend” yet, and hopefully will not reach that magnitude. (more…)
