When Kelly Ripa said “I do” to husband Mark Consuelos, it wasn’t in a wedding gown. The two nixed a big celebration and instead eloped to Vegas in 1996 after secreting dating for a year (they met on the set of All My Children). It wasn’t until a few weeks ago Kelly finally got her chance to wear a big white dress on Regis & Kelly courtesy of Project Runway‘s Season 6 winner. Read the rest of this entry »
The exterior courtyard of The New York Palace.
There’s nothing more romantic than a stay in the city that never sleeps especially when you’re calling one of the plushest hotels in town home—The New York Palace. Read the rest of this entry »
Wow! Check out this amazing lantern display from Tavern on the Green in New York City. Our in-house multimedia producer Kyle (he edits all our videos and listens to our voices day in and day out) went to NYC last week to do a documentary with Ed Norton (yeah I know, what is his life!) for the NYC marathon. Anywho, while he was there, he also took a few snapshots of Tavern on the Green (this famous and luxurious restaurant smack dab in the middle of Central Park). As soon as I saw this gorge display I had to share. Love the blue twinkle lights and the hanging Chinese lanterns. It adds such pizzazz to any atmosphere and immediately sets the tone for a romantic evening.
It’s been a hectic week for us–we’re in the midst of finishing the magazine and tracking down all the gorgeous runway photos from bridal fashion week in New York last weekend. Amongst all the gowns this one (above) from Douglas Hannant caught my eye. It looks so romantic, even if it is a bit more on the simpler side, but dressed with a pretty accessory (maybe a chunky necklace) any bride would look stunning. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this dress, do you think it’s too plain or just perfect?
"This is shopping weather," says my Cheeky Umbrella.
That’s the forecast for the next five days in Toronto and never in my life did I think I would say this, but bring it! The reason I’m doing a rain dance: I’m itching to bust out the cutest new umbrella which landed at my desk courtesy of the lovely Jen Zurowski owner of North Vancouver’s Cheeky Umbrella.

I think this is a genius idea. MelangerieNYC has once again created this awesome template that tells guests how everyone is related to the bride and groom (aka family tree but for weddings). Read the rest of this entry »
Event planner and floral designer of New York City-based floral design company, The Daily Blossom, Saundra Parks is a renowned style-maker and has worked for some of the biggest names out there including Oprah, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Mariah Carey, and Barbara Walters. Having created lavish V.I.P. hip hop events to intimate celebrity parties and even special home deliveries, Parks knows what works and what doesn’t. Recently I had the chance to ask her to give us her top tips for selecting florals for your big day.
1. Pick a Color. Select one or two vibrant colors and build your wedding around it, including flowers, decor, dresses, etc. Splashes of bright bold colors like hot pink, lime green and orange are “hot” and modern—and they’ll give your special day visual appeal. Read the rest of this entry »
Ever since I received samples of Atelier Isabey’s stationery I have been obsessed. Not only are their letterpress designs super-creative, but even the papers they use to match their sets are in complete unison with the feel and look of the actual invite. This one (pictured above) was completely designed with the couples’ ethnic background in mind. Read the rest of this entry »
