From 1pm-2pm today is the Pink Power Hour, which, for $20, gets you access to the gowns (which range in price from $99 to $799, are either new or once-worn, donated from shops and brides all over the country, and bear names like Vera Wang, Monique Lhuillier, Reem Acra, Pronovias, Christos, Jim Hjelm and more) before the sale is opened to the general-admission public. And then, for the rest of the weekend (2pm-8pm, today; Saturday March 31, 10am-8pm; and Sunday April 1, 10am-5pm), admission is $5.

BRIDE-TO-BE BLOGGER KATHLEEN: TO VEIL OR NOT TO VEIL?

What an exciting weekend I just had! I was finally able to try on my dress for the first time since the big purchase! I had a ton of anxiety before the appointment because I was afraid I wasn’t going to love the dress anymore (though I think that is a normal feeling, right?), and because I also ordered a smaller size than the one I tried on in the store, I was worried that the fit would be off. But all of that worrying was for nothing: The dress was even more beautiful than I remembered! Now, the question is whether or not I will chose to wear a veil.

ROMANIAN WEDDING GOWN TRAIN BREAKS WORLD RECORD

It's 1.85 miles long.

Posted by Carrie Denny on 3/22/2012 at 3:21PM | 1 Comment

Have you guys seen this, yet? Romania holds an annual Wedding Fair in Bucharest, and this year, this baby was the star:

For those of you keeping track, that’s 15,420 feet of taffeta, 18 feet of lace, and 147 feet of lining spun together by 10 seamstresses over 100 days, to the tune of $7,000. (Is it just me, or does that actually not seem like a lot, that last number there?)

And you thought you’d need a bunch of your bridesmaids to help you in the bathroom.

BUY DISCOUNTED VERA WANG, SUPPORT THE FIGHT AGAINST BREAST CANCER

An awesome local event this weekend.

Posted by Carrie Denny on 2/28/2012 at 5:33PM | 7 Comments

Jack Hollingsworth

This is such a cool idea.

This weekend, on March 2nd, 3rd and 4th, the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition is putting on a bridal gown sale to benefit the organization. Basically, brides will have the opportunity to purchase seriously awesome gowns at seriously ridiculous prices (for real—maybe don’t brag to other brides, lest they fit you forever with their scorn), and then, all the proceeds go to the fight against breast cancer.

Here are all the deets:

BRIDE-TO-BE BLOGGER KATHLEEN: WAITING ON INVITATIONS—AND MY DRESS!

Posted by Kathleen Johnson on 2/3/2012 at 2:52PM | 2 Comments

A sample of Kathleen and Christian's invitations!

I guess our wedding is officially official: Invitations have been ordered and I couldn’t be more excited!

I can’t wait to see what the whole suite looks like. I ordered a sample set a few months ago (that’s it, pictured), but it didn’t come with the envelopes and address labels, so I can’t wait to see everything all together! The best part about our invitations? All under $200, and we didn’t even have to print them ourselves. I don’t want to jinx myself, but I am pretty dang excited about how easy this process has been. Thank you, Etsy.
