Birthday girl, Emmy nominee and Glee star Lea Michele looked simply stunning at the Emmy’s. Opting for a navy Oscar de la Renta mermaid gown with voluminous flamenco-style ruffles at the bottom, it was the perfect choice for the evening. It flattered her petite frame, and was oh-so-glamorous! Definitely how you should look when you know all eyes will be on you for the evening. “I love Oscar de la Renta and I love blue,” she told People.com. “When I saw this, it was perfect!” Read the rest of this entry »

25th anniversary

What You Register For Has Changed

With 2010 being the 25th anniversary of Weddingbells, we have definitely done some reflecting on the past — and this includes what you and your mister are registering for. In our 2010 reader survey, we found 75% of couples already live together before getting hitched. While I don’t have exact numbers to compare, what I do know is that number in 1985 was significantly lower. Then, marriage and moving in pretty much went hand in hand, now many couples prefer the idea of testing out cohabitation prior to walking down the aisle. Thanks to this trend this also means you’ve got the essentials to get your household running smoothly. Read the rest of this entry »

Honeymoon with Lanvin

Ahhh, the honeymoon. It’s such a nice way to wind down after the wedding and really take that time to break away from the real world with each other. I suspect many of you are thinking of a sunny and beachy destination to get some R&R. When it comes time to pack for your big vacay, I found a really stylish honeymoon suitcase from Lanvin you’ll definitely want to use on this travel and every single sunny locale you jet off to after.

Anna Paquin’s Diamond Wedding Necklace

Photography courtesy Neil Lane.

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer of True Blood fame tied the knot over the weekend. Paquin, who wore a halter gown, also donned a stunning 50-carat diamond bib necklace from Neil Lane. She kept the rest of her accessories simple — diamond studs (also by Neil Lane) and a wedding band created by friend Cathy Waterman (who also helped design her engagement ring). According to People.com, Paquin’s mom also got to don some Neil Lane jewels wearing both a bracelet and earrings. Want a bib necklace like Paquin, but don’t have a celebrity budget? I have found two similar versions that are much more affordable and just as pretty. Read the rest of this entry »
