Celebrity Wedding: Hilary Duff

Ok, so we've all seen a lot of celebrity weddings, and being in this business, I've seen a lot of weddings in general. But this wedding, of Hilary Duff, to me stands out above the rest.

Her dress was an original Vera Wang fit for a princess. 





Ok, so out of all the celebrity weddings I've seen, by far, my favorite decor of any celeb wedding is this one. I love all of the antique hanging lamps, swagged fabric draping, and the gardeny feel of many of today's weddings. It was over the top but not in a stuffy way, it was romantic, and warm & inviting.

 

And my fabulous friends over at Fantasy Frostings did this wedding cake, and I love that it's a unique spin on a traditional white cake. So unique.

Fun Fact: She was the same age I was when I got married.

Celebrity Wedding: Niecy Nash

I love the show "Clean House" and was so excited to see it's host tie the knot.

She used a very popular color for weddings which is lavendar & had an outdoor wedding at a Church Estate Vineyards (same place Fergie got married) in Malibu, California.

My colleague, Heidi Ryder took all the photos and did a fabulous job. This must have been a really fun wedding ot be at. Wish I could have been there...

The cake was from the fabulous bakery in Santa Monica called Vanilla Bake Shop. They're stuff is really good.

And she followed the trend of the matching but mismatching bridesmaid dresses, allowing each girl to choose her own style & flair. Love that!!!

Celebrity Wedding: Molly Sims

The photo I loved the most in this wedding is the photo of the bride with her bridesmaids, each in their own unique dress. I absolutely love this trend and if I got married all over again I would definitely let my girls pick their own dresses based on their own styles & budgets.

The bride's Marchesa gown was simple, elegant & romantic.

And who doesn't love nuptuals in wine country?

Celebrity Wedding: Tia of Tia & Tamera

A couple of days ago I featured the recent wedding of Tamera Mowry, the other 1/2 of the identical twin pairing of Tia & Tamera from their 90's sitcom, Sister, Sister. I loved that show and watched it every week. 

Tia and her now husband, Cory, got married at the Four Seasons Biltmore in Santa Barbara. 

Kevan Hall designed her one-shouldered one of a kind wedding dress. 

The photos were taken by Amy & Stuart and her fabulous wedding was pulled of by wedding planner Robyn Goldberg. 

The bridesmaids wore styles by Tadashi, with Tamera as the maid of honor in her own style and color. 

The fabulous cake was created by Cake Divas and is such a girly, girl cake. I love it. 

Fabulous Find: The Bridal Bar

No longer do you need to be a celebrity to get the celebrity treatment. The Bridal Bar is a one stop shop for all things wedding and it's a free resource to all brides famous or not. 

Browse through portfolios of all the vendors you'll need for your wedding as you sip champagne. It's fabulous, and did I mention, FREE.

Many of my favorite vendors are a part of "The Bar" such as Peony & Plum, Fantasy Frostings, Occasions, The Ebell, and Classic Party Rentals.

They've done celebrity weddings like Rob & Kaitlin's wedding (both from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia)

To Kendra & Hank's wedding at the Playboy Mansion.

And the Winter Wonderland Wedding of Katherine Heigl & Josh Kelley.

And who could forget Tom Cruise & Katie Holme's European affair.

And if your not able to get to the original showroom in Beverly Hills, you can also check out the 2 new spots in Atlanta

and San Diego

Celebrity Wedding: Tori & Dean Renew Their Vows

Tori & Dean renewed their vows on their reality show, Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood.

 I just started watching Home Sweet Hollywood recently & have completely caught up on Season 3. I just can't get enough of it. 

 Starting in April their newest TV venture, SToribook weddings will begin to air on Oxygen.

 And if you haven't gotten enough of this fabulous couple, they are also opening a fabulous antique store in Sherman Oaks, appropriately named InvenTori which opens on Valentine's Day. The shop is located at 13828 Ventura Blvd N Sherman Oaks.

 The fabulous Sweet & Saucy did all of the yummy sweets.

 You can watch the episode on YouTube or iTunes to see all the details come together

 Many of the elements, such as the yellow motorcycle were antique pieces found and spray painted to give them a chic and modern vibe. What a great DIY option that's budget savvy too. 

 And Elizabeth Messina, took all of the amazing photos and is an amazing photographer.
