Wedding Tips from Anne Hathaway!

Earlier this month, Anne Hathaway celebrated her engagement to Adam Schulman in New York City with friends and family!

There were no flashy celebrity appearances or paparazzi; the New York native threw her party in a unique way, at the Housing Works Bookstore Café in SoHo with 125 of her closest guests!

Every aspect of the night encompassed the classic elegance of Anne’s style, as we suspect her wedding will!

For color, she incorporated popping pinks and purples with her simple but gorgeous floral décor by Rebecca Shepherd!

Her menu consisted of truffle mac n’ cheese with vegan burgers and cupcakes catered by the venue, showing even an award winning (vegetarian) star desires to go back to her comforts when it comes to her wedding – who needs caviar, anyway?

It looks like the wedding planning is moving right along, and the bride-to-be was apparently beaming at this party, so we can’t wait until the big day comes!

Take a few tips from Anne and don’t be afraid to be true to yourself, even if your style might surprise people! On your special day and all of the amazing events leading up to it, it’s important to love every detail!

“Something Blue,” Something You!!

“Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue!” For years, there have been traditional ways to incorporate blue into every bride’s ensemble on her wedding day, but recently we’ve seen some more creative options!

If you’re looking for a unique idea, here’s a few of my favorites!

Brides don’t have to simply decide between white and ivory shoes anymore! It’s a hot trend to have a color shoe – they pop in photos! If a bright blue is too daring, try a more classic navy!

We’ve heard of blue shoes, but what about blue sharpie? You don’t have to go too crazy, but a fun idea is to have your bridesmaids write a little note in blue on the bottom of your shoes! They’ll make an awesome keepsake!

For the adventurous bride, blue mascara or eye shadow can be a subtly fabulous alternative! You want to look as natural as possible on your wedding day, but some of these are only blue in certain lights! If you’re caught at the right angle in a photo, your blue will definitely show!

While jewelry is a common go-to, consider putting your hair up in blue! Whether it is a large flower or subtle sparkly pins, your hair is a great place to accessorize!

Calling all Committed Couples!!!

Are you in a serious relationship and you’re thinking you’ve found “the one?”

A major cable network is teaming up with NBC Universal to create an opportunity for couples just like you!

They’re currently casting for committed couples to be a part of a brand new show, so if you’re ready to take it to the next level, the result could be a chance for your guy to give you the surprise engagement of a lifetime!

If you think you’d be a good candidate, all you have to do is email couplescasting1@gmail.com with your name, some photos, and a quick bio about why you think your relationship should be a part of this unique experience!
