Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Release New Wedding Details

Ever since Brad and Angelina announced their engagement to the world, there’s been speculation (and, yes even bets!) as to where the duo will tie the knot, what the bride will wear, what colour her dress will be–pretty much anything and everything you can think of wedding-related. Today, they’ve released a few more details regarding their ceremony–which is rumoured to take place on August 11th, 2012 at their French chateau. Today a source revealed that the dynamic duo plans to incorporate different ethnic wedding traditions during their ceremony–specifically Cambodian, Ethiopian and Vietnam traditions–where their adopted children respectively hail from. Each culture has their own distinct and unique rites, some Cambodian marriage include hair-cutting and passing of a candle while Vietnam weddings call for various clothing made of elaborate designs–it’ll be interesting to see how Brad and Angelina blend each belief into their own day.

Another detail regarding Angie’s figure has also come into play, as the source also reveals that she’d like a more “shapely” figure to walk down the aisle in (thank goodness!). To help her gain some weight, Angelina consulted with culinary master Jamie Oliver for a few meaty recipes.

The stationery world is an enormous industry–especially when it comes to weddings. Often times, when you don’t know what you want, it can be overwhelming. So, we went straight to the pros, and asked One Plus One Design for some tips on finding the perfect invitation set. Here’s what they had to say.

1. SHOP AROUND
Before heading into an invitation place, ensure that their style goes hand-in-hand with what you’re looking for.

2. BRING PICTURES
When it comes to stationery, a visual reference of what you like (and don’t like) is one of the best ways to get your message and vision across.

3. GET CREATIVE
Don’t be afraid to think outside the box. Be open to new ways of presenting your wedding stationery.

4. PROOFREAD YOUR DRAFT
When you receive your sample copy, be sure to read each sentence carefully. Having to reprint everything will cost you time and money.
