Here at BG, the Labor Day Weekend wedding news we're most excited about is that our web producer, Stefania, tied the knot on Sunday! Get a sneak peek at her gorgeous wedding on our Instagram.
She's in good company with her holiday weekend wedding. Actress Kate Bosworth and director Michael Polish exchanged vows on Saturday, August 31 on a ranch in Montana. The bride wore two custom dresses by Oscar de la Renta — a traditional strapless ballgown for the ceremony, and a floral embroidered tulle dress for the reception. The groom and groomsmen wore custom Brooks Brothers tuxes.
Also on Saturday: Grace Kelly's grandson, Andrea Casiraghi (second in line to the throne in Monaco), married heiress Tatiana Santo Domingo. Domingo bucked royal tradition and wore a boho-inspired Missoni gown with flowers in her hair instead of a crown. The 400+ guest list included Prince Albert, Karl Lagerfeld, and members of the Missoni family.
SNL funnyman Seth Meyers married his longtime girlfriend, Alexi Ashe on Sunday, September 1 on Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts. The bride wore a cap sleeve lace gown, and Meyers wore a classic dark suit. Famous faces in the crowd included Olivia Munn, Allison Williams, Ali Larter, Rashida Jones, Lorne Michaels, Amy Poehler, Fred Armisen, Andy Samberg, Taran Killam, Jason Sudeikis, Kristen Wiig, Will Forte, Kenen Thompson, and more.

Tip of the Day: In September, professional football games are in full swing. If you and your groom are fans of a particular team — or, even more fun, rival teams — pay homage to them with a few meaningful wedding details. For example, decorate your chairs with your favorite jerseys or serve team logo-topped cupcakes in your dessert buffet. Limiting yourself to two details allows you to share your mutual love of the game with guests without going overboard and making your big day look like a Superbowl party.

Tip of the Day: Your "Getting Ready Moments" will make for some of your most beautiful photos, and there's something magical about that moment when you first lower your veil over your head. The netting of a veil creates a magical frame for your face, so as a twist to the traditional photo of having someone else list your veil over your face, do it yourself. You did, after all, choose to wear a veil, and you picked out your dream design. So this important moment of setting it in place on your big day is beautifully-captured as a moment just as pretty as putting on your gown.

Tip of the Day: A budget-friendly décor idea that also provides comfy seating for guests: pillows! While you could set out colorful pillows to coordinate with your site décor, you can also choose wedding theme, personalized designs like Mr. & Mrs. or your monogram on the pillows, and then after the celebration, take them home to use in your décor as forever reminders of your lovely day.

I’m getting married this weekend — it feels so strange to type that out! — and now that all of the final arrangements have been confirmed, it’s been a nonstop party. I took a happy hour cruise with my relatives from Italy who flew in for my wedding and I was treated to massages, brunch and cupcakes with my favorite ladies for my "spa-chelorette" party. Up next: My rehearsal dinner and final fitting with my MOHs.
I could get used to this...in fact, I got so carried away with the revelry that I forgot to do a few things. I neglected to include my fiancé, Jason, and myself in the final headcount (our maître d' couldn’t stop laughing) and finalize our transportation itinerary. Oops.
Since I’m suffering from a bad case of "wedding brain," I asked Valerie Gernhauser from Sapphire Events to share the most common tasks/items that brides either forget entirely or handle at the last minute before getting hitched. Follow her advice below, and try not to be too hard on yourself; after all, the most important thing is that you both successfully complete your vows. Everything else is just icing on top of the cake, as far as I'm concerned.

Tip of the Day: When you're giving a toast, remember that the microphone will pick up every sound, including any inhaling and exhaling you do. So when the mike is handed to you, don't hold it ultra-close to your lips and keep it slightly away from your mouth to avoid any distracting sounds.
Remember, too, that microphones held nervously against your chest will pick up your heartbeat. A good tip is to ask the emcee before your toast to give you a little guidance on how you should hold the microphone.
