Looking for a simple reception table idea?

Many brides dream of that perfect fairytale wedding, but very few go all the way and plan a wedding inspired by fairytales.

February 23, 2010

Yet another question we, the wedding experts of TeamWED, get asked with some frequency is “Just how much can I ask my bridesmaids to do with regard to their personal appearance?” We’re heard the myths about bridesmaid contracts that stipulate the repercussions of weight gain and brides-to-be who chose a round of Botox as her [...]

Brides who are planning to take outdoor wedding photographs should let their wedding stylists know since the bridal makeup that will look best outdoors will be different than the makeup that will look good indoors.

Bridezilla? No Way!

February 17, 2010

Bridezilla, bridezilla, BRIDEZILLA! Those of us who are happily married here at TeamWED feel for today’s bride who has been overexposed to the idea of the bridezilla.

Shopping For Wedding Dresses

February 16, 2010

Have you considered looking somewhere other than the bridal salon when shopping for wedding dresses?
