"Inspired by her spirit and nature" - Holly Valance wears J'Aton Couture Wedding Dress
Image courtesy of Hello MagazineHolly Valance tied the knot with billionaire and English property tycoon Nick Candy in a very lavish, over-the-top wedding in Beverly Hills. Keeping with the OTT theme, the bride, 29, wore an hugely extravagant, dramatic gown by J'Aton Couture and a lace floor-length veil. It came embellished with a full, meringue style feather-like skirt. Nick kept things simple and chic with a navy blue tuxedo by D&G, and guests were entertained by California Girl Katy Perry.
The Australian actress has been met with a lot of criticism for her ‘more is more’ look.What do you think of the possibility that meringue wedding dresses just might well be back in vogue?

Yea, but is this Wedding Cake €100,000-nice, though?
By Karen Birney
Cake pictured presumed to not be actual cake | Photo by Rubistyle Photography | Cake by The Cake Creator | See full wedding hereThe Irish Indo reported on Sunday that a €100,000 tab for Ciara daughter-of-former-billionaire-Sean Quinn's 2007 wedding was charged to the Quinn Group. This would be shocking enough, except to find that the €100,000 cheque was reportedly just for the cake. The CAKE! Apparently the couple have some sweet tooth and had the estimated €250-per-slice cake flown in from New York, possibly first class.
So, with that in mind we want to know: How much are you budgeting for your wedding cake?
PS Check out one of our cake suppliers, Rosanna from Cakes & Co, discussing this on Moncreiff, Newstalk yesterday (Part 3)

Bridesmaids in White - Emily Blunt Wears White at Sister's Wedding
By Karen Birney
Photo by Woman's Wear DailyThere's definitely a bit of a Devil Wears Prada theme going on on the WeddingsOnline.ie Blog today. Not only did Anne Hathaway get hitched this weekend, but 'actor's actor' Stanley Tucci (aka harsh-but-sweet stylist Nigel) also tied the knot with fiancé Felicity Blunt, whom he met through her sister Emily on the set of the fashionista flic! Phew! Anyway the low-key London affair was all about not one but four white Nanette Lepore gowns, showing that the bridesmaids-in-white trend is still on the go in London at least.
Daily Mail Online reports that Steve he'll-always-be-Mr-Pink-to-me Buscemi was Best Man, and the couple had a cake made of cheese. Nom.

Gold Vivienne Westwood Platforms - The Most Daring Wedding Shoes
By Karen Birney
Photos by Claudine HartzelWe are working on a shoe article for tomorrow and while having a little nosey around our favourite blogs, we came across Ali, and her insanely beautiful handmade Vivienne Westwood platforms. Now, we're very much of the 'higher the better' heel crowd, so these shoes, as featured on UK wedding blog Rock My Wedding, pretty much sang to us from our screens. Her entire look is perfection, but we can't help but feel that the shoes were the stars of the show on this one. We salute you Ali.

Real Brides in Colourful Dresses - Bridal Trend 2013
Dress: Designed by bride | Photographer: Love Katie & Sarah | Wedding: Gold Yarra Valley Wedding on RuffledLast week we shared our top bridal trends for 2013. Just like every year on the bridal catwalks, there are trends we love and that completely take our breath away, but at the same time there are bridal trends which we just can't see translating to the aisle. One in particular is the colourful wedding dress. We're just not convinced a bride will give up her one day to wear a big white (or off-white) wedding dress! So today we decided to take a look at some of the brides who dared to not wear white, and who set the trend for others to go against the norm. From gold to green to grey, these ladies made a statement on their wedding day, without compromising style or their moment in the spotlight.
By Karen Birney
Dress: Jenny Packham | Photographer: Caught the Light | Wedding: A Glamorous English Wedding on 100 Layer CakeMany of the gowns from Jenny Packham's Ready to Wear collection would make stunning and original wedding dresses. This emerald green dress was worn as the bride's reception dress, but almost made more of an impact than her white and grey ceremony gown. We can only imagine the wow moment if she had appeared at the end of the aisle in this dress, but would it be 'wedding enough' for you?
Dress: Jenny Packham | Photographer: Jonas Peterson | Weddings: An Elegant Australie Wedding on Once WedEver since we saw this bride a couple of months ago we've had a serious girl crush on her. Originally we were all about her top knot hair style, then we couldn't get her no-back, pink sequin Jenny Packham gown out of our heads. This is how to rock a pink gown. Part Great Gatsby, part boho and part rock n' roll bride, there's nothing about this look that's not unforgettable.
Dress: Vera Wang | Photographer: We Heart Photography | Wedding: W Hotel Wedding on Style Me PrettyThis Vera Wang gown is made for the bubbliest of brides. Not only is it a beautifully feminine silhouette and the most decadent of materials, but it looks like so much fun to wear! This dress could never be mistaken for anything other than an incredible wedding gown, so may not be as daring as going for gold, but the candyfloss element to it certainly gives it an edge, doesn't it?
Dress: Myrtle Ivory, Dublin | Photographer: Siobhan Byrne Photography | Wedding: Bowled Over Beauty on The Bridal Lounge BlogWhen we saw Pippa on The Bridal Lounge's blog Wedding Belles, we felt our hearts go all warm and fuzzy. She looked like a serious siren in her Gemy Couture dress from Myrtle Ivory alone, but pairing it with striking red nails and lips was a stroke of style genius. Pippa, we salute you.
Dress: Pam Shorley, Fashion Crimes | Photography: Scarlet O'Neill | Wedding: Sparkly Sequin Wedding Dress on Wedding ChicksThis bride, although she obviously didn't know it at the time, is all of our favourite trends for 2013 bridal all rolled into one! Colour? Check. Statement back? Check. Long sleeve? Yep. Vintage hair? Check. Sparkle? Check times a million. We love that she wanted to show off her tatts, and the long sequin sleeves are the perfect to balance off the sexiness of the back. Stunning!
So what do you guys think? Would you go for a dress in a different colour? Let us know by leaving a comment below!

Bridal Blogger: Fallon finds 'the one' to walk her down the aisle!
Like a lot of brides-to-be out there who don’t have a father to give them away for whatever reason, I’ve had to ponder the question, who will give me away? I count myself very lucky to have grown up surrounded by fantastic male figures between uncles and cousins, so my predicament isn’t trying to find someone but picking the right person.
When I got engaged first, I asked an uncle to give me away but over the past few weeks he has backed out, with no hard feelings on my part at all. It’s not an easy task and my uncle just didn’t feel that he would be comfortable on the day having to speak to a room full of people, which I can understand completely. I certainly couldn’t do it! I want him to look forward to my wedding and enjoy the day, not dread the thoughts of it.
For me, the person has to be someone I’ve known all my life, who’s been around and taken part in all the major milestones and, most importantly, someone who I feel on the day will make me feel at ease. I think about that last moment when I’m waiting to walk up the aisle, bridesmaids are gone and it’s just you and this other person. I want someone who I can look at and think – ‘I’m glad you are the one who is here with me.’
I know a lot of you will think why not have your mam give you away? I also think this is a lovely idea and my friend Leanne, who was in my last blog post, did that at her wedding, but it’s just not for me or my mam.
I think unless you’re in the position where you have to ask someone to give you away you don’t realise how emotional it can be, or is that just me? It’s a declaration of sorts, like standing up and saying this person is important to me. So, over the past week or so I’ve sat and thought about it and made my decision, which to be honest really wasn’t a hard one. All I need to do now is pick up the phone and ask the question. I’ll keep you posted on what the response is...

Checkmate Wedding Theme!
Ever since Kim Kardashian’s amazingly beautiful, black-and-white-meets-monochrome-meets-Hollywood wedding to Chris Humphries last year, everyone in the wedding world has tried to imitate her (not the whole 72 days part though!)! So, if you want to follow in this Kardashian’s footsteps, and you’re maybe looking for a different spin on things or you just happen to love playing the game, a chess/ checkmate-themed wedding can be a fantastic way to reveal your personality to all of your guests. Plus, black and white is oh-so-very classy and can be achieved in a variety of different and ingenious ways throughout the ceremony and the reception! Show everyone that you “made the right move” (sorry, we couldn’t help ourselves) by marrying ‘the one’.
