Last week, we showed you Vera Wang’s all-red Spring 2013 bridal collectionâ€”and today, as more images come rolling in from Bridal Market, we found another red stunner, this time in Romona Keveza’s Spring 2013 Couture Bridal Collection.

Talk about drama! Again, we wonder how many brides are going to rock the red down the aisle, but we absolutely love that idea, and either way, are digging these bold hues.

We’ll be sure to keep you posted should any other red-hot numbers show up. What do you think about this one?

Philadelphian Dana Persia had been a makeup artist for years when she changed her focus to bridal, and launched Beautiful Brides Philly at the beginning of 2011. Not only can she do both your wedding-day hair and makeup (she travels and brings the salon to youâ€”including trial runs); she specializes in covering upÂ tattoos, scars, or anything else youâ€™d rather not seeâ€”on you or on your â€™maidsâ€”in the pictures youâ€™ll be looking at for the rest of your life.

Using a silicone-based waterproof makeup, sheâ€™ll get the color just right, then layer it using a self- perfected airbrush technique. Best part: Depending on the size of your tattoo, youâ€™ll only need to add 20 minutes or so to your get-ready schedule on the day you say â€œI do.â€ Prices upon request.

AMERICAN HIKERS SHANE BAUER AND SARAH SHOURD GET MARRIED

Finally! Yay!

Posted by Carrie Denny on 5/7/2012 at 3:42PM | No Comments

This past weekend, Shane Bauer and Sarah Shourd, two of the three American hikers detained in Iran after being arrested on suspicion of spying, finally, at long last, tied the knot. Their buddy and fellow detainee, Josh Fattal of Elkin’s Park, was the best man. Shane had proposed to Sarah while they were in prison back in 2010, with a ring he fashioned out of loose threads from his shirt, a story that has made us well up pretty much every time we have heard it in the past few years.

BEST WILL-YOU-BE-MY-BRIDESMAID? CARD EVER

Posted by Carrie Denny on 5/7/2012 at 10:49AM | No Comments

Naught Betty bridesmaid card, $2.95 at Hello World, Philadelphia.

This weekend, we were running errands/shopping when we came across this Will-You-Be-My-Bridesmaid? card at Hello World on South 20th Street in Rittenhouse by Naught Betty, Inc.

We’ve seen our fair share of sweet, touching, lovely cards that ask the same thingâ€”ones that are seriously so nice to receive from a good friend who wants you to stand up with her on that dayâ€”but this is just too good. Really captures the reality of being a ‘maid, doesn’t it?

Would you give this card to your girlfriends? Or would you stick with the sweet?

We saw this bit of (necessary) advice on Huffington Post today, and had to share. Bridezillas get a bad rapâ€”but let’s be honest, wedding guests can be really terrible, too.

There are fewer and fewer things these days about which we can’t say “There’s an app for that”â€”and now, filling your guests in on all the updates and info concerning your wedding and your wedding-affiliated parties has been added to that list of info readily available at the fingertips of anyone with a smartphone.

So many couples these days create wedding websites, which are a great tool for filling in your guestsâ€”especially traveling out-of-townersâ€”but the brand new Appy Couple will allow those guests to double-check the details of your wedding when they’re out and about, noses buried in their iPhones.

Appy Couple has lots of great featuresâ€”it allows guests to upload pictures and organizes other wedding events like showers and bachelorette parties so that only guests invited to those particular things can see information about them, will always be free for guests to download, and works with all iPhones, Androids, iPads and web browsers.

Check out all the details here, and if you decide to give it a go, let us know what you think!

LET DESIGNER SKETCHING FOR ANGELINA JOLIE’S WEDDING DRESS BEGIN!

Posted by Carrie Denny on 5/1/2012 at 4:08PM | No Comments

Not surprisingly, wedding gown designers are already starting to “imagine”â€”with their hands, some paper, and some charcoalâ€”what the world’s most famous bride-to-be, Angelina Jolie, will rock on her wedding day.

Mark Badgley and James Mischka are thinking vintage-inspired, Monique Lhuillier is thinking a low V, a low back, and a high slit (please, dear God, I don’t think the world is ready for another Angelina leg popping out of another high slit), and Reema Acra is thinking of dramatic embellishment, specifically in the shoulder area.

Now we just need to wait for Vera, Oscar, and, oh, let’s say Georgina and Keren to chime in, and the gang’ll all be here!

Check out their thoughts on paper here.

What do you picture the future Mrs. Jolie-Pitt to wear floating down the aisle?

VIDEO: GRANDPARENTS GIVE AWKWARD/AMAZING WEDDING TOAST

You'll need to watch this twice.

Posted by Carrie Denny on 4/30/2012 at 8:17PM | 1 Comment

If you are anything like us, then you have procrastinated tackling many a more productive task by spending time on AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com.

Recently, one of the co-founders, Mike Bender, tied the knotâ€”and his grandparents recorded a video toast for him and his new bride.

Well, a “toast” preceded by five(ish) tidbits of wisdom that said grandparents, Kenny and Selma, have earned over 72 years together. A toast followed by a quick makeout, and then lots and lots of giggling.

It’s amazing.

Watch. Enjoy. Share. And then remember to keep your own grandparents away from the video camera, maybe.
