Ok dear readers, we’re doing it again! The first dance song iPod give away we did last month was so much fun we just can’t help ourselves, we want more!
This time tell us about all the other songs you’re excited to hear at your wedding. The processional song that will be playing as you walk down the aisle, the father-daughter dance song that will make your daddy cry, the dance floor tune you most love to rock-out to (there’s nothing more fun than seeing a gorgeous bride and groom tear up the dance floor!), the surprise song you wrote yourself and are singing to your love, or the classic hit that you’ve just got to hear or else it isn’t really a party. Whatever music you’re envisioning for your wedding, we want to know about it! Next Friday after we’ve compiled all the results we’ll choose a participant at random to win a bright little iPod Nano in which ever color they fancy! Fun! So click in and leave us as many comments as you like, we can’t wait to hear about the tunes for your big day!
Oh Oscars, I do love you so! Even though I rarely get to the theater these days (I only saw one nominated movie this year, go Slumdog Millionaire!) it’s still an absolute delight to curl up on my couch to watch the show, wine and snacks in hand, and Kleenex at the ready! I get giddy watching the fashion during the red carpet arrivals, I get emotional listening to the acceptance speeches, and I love finding inspiration for wedding style in the glamorous clothing, hairstyles, jewelry and accessories worn by all the stars.
Last night was no exception in the inspiration category, especially with the hairstyles. Many lovely ladies wore their hair pulled back in low, structured, old-Hollywood glam chignons like Kate Winslet, Freida Pinto, Anne Hathaway and Penelope Cruz, and others like Amy Adams, Vanessa Hudgens and Marisa Tomei went for a looser and more tousled version of the look. All of these styles would look amazing with sparkling earrings, big and small, and would leave lots of room for wearing various kinds of bridal hair accessories or veils.
Other starlets opted for wearing their hair down, either partially pulled back like Angelina Jolie (love those green earrings!) Jessica Biel and Melissa George; all the way down in smooth waves like Sarah Jessica Parker, Robin Wright Penn, Amanda Seyfried, and Alicia Keys; or all the way down in a slightly more deconstructed and modern style like Taraji P. Henson, Leslie Mann and Viola Davis. Pretty! These looks work especially well with strapless dresses and simple necklines so the long hair doesn’t compete with the top of the dress.
The men in attendance didn’t look too shabby either! There were lots of classic tuxedos with bowties (my favorite!) on men like the dashing Mr. Bond James Craig, Brad Pitt, Dominic Cooper, Hugh Jackman, Zach Efron, Dustin Lance Black and Michael Sheen. Modern tuxedos with solid black neckties also looked amazing on guys like Robert Downey Jr., Danny Glover, Matthew Broderick and Emile Hirsch. Yum, handsome! All great looks for men at formal, sophisticated weddings.
Thanks Oscars! Can’t wait til next year! Who were your faves?
If you’re looking for a little touch of decorative charm for your wedding, I just don’t think it gets any better than baker’s twine. It creates instant nostalgia for warm sugary goodness straight from the local bakery, has a charming vintage sensibility, and makes me smile just looking at it. I honestly want to tie it around everything! It’s amazing that something so small and simple can exude such personality! Here are some images I found of creative ways to use it…
