Friday Obsession: Bleu Garters

Even if you're skipping the garter toss tradition, there's no reason you can't still wear one—especially when they're this gorgeous! Bleu Garters specializes in handcrafting keepsake garters from fine silk and antique lace. 

“A big trend I'm noticing is brides being more adventurous with color and not sticking to white/ivory/light blue," said Jaime Lawson, founder of Bleu Garters. "Don't get me wrong, the classics are still the most popular garters, but brides have also been ordering their favorite bright colors, as well as the black floral lace garters for their wedding day!”

Garters range from $60 to $120 at shopbleugarters.com. Here, some of our favorites from the new collections.

Website to Watch: PointHub

There are a thousand and one gajillon travel websites out there, and figuring out which one to trust can be a major time-suck. That’s where I come in. True story: I’m a mess when it comes to managing my miles. I know, I know, with the amount of flight time I do, you’d think I’d want to cash it all in for more rewards. Part of my problemo is that I rarely fly the same airline. The other excuse? Well, I’m not really sure about that answer. Luckily for those who are a little less organized than most type A-ers, there’s a new site that can streamline the process. PointHub.com not only helps you manage your miles, reward points, and other accumulative prize scenarios in a single spot; it also offers a side-by-side analysis of cash vs. rewards, so you can decide which is the best option for you.

Fascinating Chinese Wedding Traditions

Hello, my lovely BG.com readers! With only six days left until our wedding, Luke and I are looking forward to breathing huge sighs of relief when the big day finally arrives (and also wondering how it passed by so fast!).

Here's something that will drag out that feeling just a bit longer: We're having another wedding. Well, not another wedding per se, but a reception in Singapore for my side of the family. 

Although I am Eurasian and have a lot of non-Asian influences in my life, I grew up with a very strong Chinese background. So I wasn't surprised when my mum came up to me one day and asked if we could throw a reception back home for elderly family members who can't attend my Vegas wedding. In Asian culture, it is considered to be good luck to have all of your extended family present on a big occasion. 

Check out more Chinese traditions that I plan to follow at my wedding!
