To celebrate the upcoming fifth season premiere of My Fair Wedding with David Tutera, airing on WEtv on November 13 at 9 PM, David threw a stunning party for over 1,200 guests last week at the Park Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles. The luxe venue was decorated with beautiful long-stem red roses and tons of crystals. Three red carpets covered the staircase—and two of those carpets were actually dress trains! 

We can't wait for the premiere of Brides of Beverly Hills tonight! Part Say Yes to the Dress, part Platinum Weddings, this show gives an inside look at the over-the-top wedding plans of Beverly Hills' wealthy brides. 

The show centers around Renee Strauss for the Bride, a luxe bridal salon with a huge list of celebrity clients and television/movie credits, along with wedding planner Kevin Lee, the real life inspiration for Martin Short's character in Father of the Bride.

Check out this exclusive clip from the show, and be sure to tune in to TLC tonight at 10 PM for the premiere!

They are the iconic memories from weddings: The garter toss, the cake cutting. These are traditions. Like them or not, you’re likely to see many at any wedding you attend. But times have changed and some more modern, possible future traditions are becoming more and more popular. So when should you go the traditional route and when is an update A-okay?

1. Cake cutting

In my opinion, the formal cake cutting is key—minus the face-smashing, that is. One way to update this tradition that dates back decades is to have a private cake cutting with just you and the groom. Keeping it between the two of you is not the norm, but pretty much the entire day is shared with family and friends and it could be a sweet way to get some one-on-one time.

Thomas and Patricia were married on Halloween with a Nightmare Before Christmas theme. The Burtonesque details certainly added to the spook factor of their Halloween wedding! After the ceremony, the couple and their bridal party headed to a cemetery for some photos. What do you think—cool or creepy (or both!)?

Your wedding may be many months away, but there’s no better time than the present to round up the best little beauty gifts of the year for your bridesmaids. That’s because it’s already “holiday” season in retail-speak (roughly October until early January or when items sell out, whichever comes first). Here, some of our favorite beauty booty:

Fresh Mini Sugar Kissing Trio

Mini Sugar Tinted Lip Treatments in three universally flattering shades: Sugar Passion (a vibrant red), Sugar Honey (tawny nude) and Sugar Plum (warm plum). $28 (a $34 value) exclusively at Sephora and sephora.com.

Tweezerman Luxe Edition Mini Crystal Brow Kit

I grew up in a home where my parents’ goal was to raise my two sisters (Lisa and Laura) and me to be the epitome of best friends. Those of you with children or siblings of your own know full well that this isn’t always an easy task.

At a Halloween-themed wedding, a candy buffet is practically a given. But that doesn't mean your wedding cake has to take a back seat! Check out these amazing cakes from our favorite Halloween weddings.
