My Best Friend’s Wedding
Bridesmaids
No wedding movie list would be complete without “Bridesmaids”. This 2011 hit is filled with incredible wit and humor; perfect for a girls’ night in.

We would hire Helen as our wedding planner in a heartbeat!

Happy (almost) Friday!

White can be symbolic of new beginnings, purity, and the start of a new life together in many cultures. It's also associated with traditional wedding ceremonies in Christianity. The tradition of wearing white wedding gowns has both historical and cultural roots. Queen Victoria is often credited with popularizing the white wedding dress in the 19th century when she married Prince Albert in a white gown.

Wondering how to find your perfect fit in wedding gowns? Typically wedding dress sizes can be different from regular clothing sizes. Wedding dress sizing often follows its own set of sizing charts, and may differ from one bridal designer or brand to another. Wedding dress sizes often run smaller than regular clothing sizes, meaning that a bride may need to choose a wedding dress size that is larger than her usual size.
