More grooms are adding their two cents when it comes to wedding planning. Guys who want to infuse their personality into the big day are doing so with groom cakes and wedding food choices for the reception. For example, take Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, who married former TV reporter and beauty queen Candice Crawford over Memorial Day weekend. With more than 600 guests (many of them NFL players), wedding planner Todd Fiscus added an All-American menu aptly dubbed “man food,” which included a pizza bar and short ribs. Guests received a goodie bag with a Neiman Marcus gift card, a mini bottle of Moet champagne, Dude Sweet Chocolate, gourmet popcorn, chips and salsa, and “Killer Pecans.” Sounds like a good time! Add your personality to the wedding cake with a fun bride and groom cake topper. For unique groom gifts, groom apparel and baseball caps, and groom accessories, visit Advantage Bridal.

As the world watched the royal wedding procession, some were surprised to see maid of honor Pippa Middleton and the young bridal party wearing white bridesmaid dresses. This immediately sparked a new wedding trend for modern brides. Replicas of Pippa Middleton’s gown hit stores after her white bridesmaid dress debuted – it was an instant hit!
The monochromatic scheme looks stunning and the bride can easily stand out with few key accessories, like a veil, tiara, bridal belt and bold wedding shoes. Kate Middleton’s wedding dress boasted a fuller skirt, long train, lace sleeves and more detailed design, while Pippa Middleton’s white bridesmaid dress conveyed a simpler style that gave nod to her role without stealing the spotlight from the bride.
Not brave enough or still unsure about having white bridesmaid dresses? Try a subtle hue like the champagne gowns pictured below. Another popular wedding trend is to have the bridesmaids wear different styles down the aisle. With various style white bridesmaids gowns, the bride will certainly stand out as she enters the ceremony. Shop for white Pantone accessories, white bridal shoes and white bridesmaid accessories at Advantage Bridal where we offer everything but the dress!

Single Hydrangea Bouquet by Serendipity Floral Design
Wedding flowers don’t have to break the bank. You can have a beautiful bouquet for less with a few cost saving measures. Use a single blossom for the bridesmaids and three for the bridal bouquet – accent the bride’s flowers with different ribbon or bouquet jewelry. Pick flowers that are in season or a bloom similar to the more expensive favorite. Add lots of greenery for texture and savings. Think minimal, like Kate Middleton’s modest bridal bouquet. Want to really cut wedding expenses?
Make your own arrangements using silk flowers, paper flowers or flowers from the yard. Visit local wholesale flower markets, such as the Los Angeles Flower District for an endless selection that won’t break the bank! Prepare flowers the night before or the morning of the wedding to keep the flower bouquets fresh and refrigerate them. Large blooms like the hydrangea look gorgeous and create the illusion of more than one flower. A single flower bouquet can be modern, dramatic or romantic. Shop Advantage Bridal for artificial wedding bouquets, bouquet jewelry, crystal embellishments and more ideas for your bridal bouquet.

Tamera Mowry & Adam Housley Wed on May 15 Photo: Jose Villa Photography
Tamera Mowry and Adam Housley exchanged vows in a traditional ceremony on May 15 at a vineyard in Napa Valley. Approximately 300 guests attended the evening wedding ceremony and rustic wine-country reception coordinated by celebrity wedding planner Mindy Weiss.
Tamera and twin sister Tia Mowry, also the maid of honor, starred in the 90s sitcom “Sister, Sister.” Adam Housley is a correspondent for Fox news. The bride wore a Carolina Herrera wedding gown, followed by two outfit changes for the affair, according to People.
Sounds like the wedding decor was beautiful, including farm tables with pale pink and white hydrangeas and roses, olive branches and hundreds of white candles. Guests enjoyed a sit-down dinner and late night snacks of tacos and cupcakes. Yum!
Advantage Bridal carries Mindy Weiss wedding accessories, wedding collections by theme or color, and custom reception decorations. We make shopping for the bride and wedding effortless!
