Hear me out. I know we aren't engaged. We aren't even speaking. But the dress is perfect and makes me look super skinny! I look eight times more gorgeous in it, if that is even possible.
Even though you love and respect your mom, your visions for the Big Day will not match up perfectly -- and Mom is an easy scapegoat when the stress of wedding planning takes a toll.
Eman is not just getting married this summer, she's also on a quest to become the world's biggest woman. What troubles me about this story is not Eman's quest, but how "Inside Edition," and other outlets that have since picked up the story, are talking about her.
Sometimes, it can be a tricky balance between not wanting to overshadow the bride while still honoring the couple by putting your best foot forward. So what do you do?
It's not just a white dress anymore. Wedding dresses are inspired by the uniquely beautiful women who wear them. Today, women are making new and different choices in what they choose to wear for the most romantic day of their life, their wedding ceremony.
One bride in particular asked my advice on how to wear different ceremony and reception dresses, while maintaining a consistent style.

I think it's pretty much safe to say that every bride-to-be devises an enormous 'To Do' list before the Big Day (it's a checklist maker's ultimate dream!) and let's be honest, how her face will look while standing at the altar is usually near the top of it.

We have certainly encountered our share of the usual culprits, such as red wine, lipstick, and chocolate. But the one that takes the proverbial "cake" involved the recently waxed red leather of a Rolls Royce and a scorching hot day.
To be fair, the whole show is not completely without merit. After a few episodes I started to see how the process of choosing 'the right' dress can be a metaphor for making any emotionally-charged financial decision.
With so much on the line, brides, wanting luck in love and life, have thoughtfully mapped out what they'll wear or carry with them down the aisle.
It is important to understand what type of look a bride wants to portray on her wedding day. Does she want to hide her baby bump or show it off?
I fell in love with a wedding dress. It was white satin and lace with a pearl bodice. I was eager to get married in that dress and have my dream wedding in an exotic setting.

After years of working as an international celebrity and wedding fashion stylist, I bring to you my favorite tips to ensure a successful wedding-gown shopping experience.
