The Ultimate Online Destination for Black Brides
Make sure your wedding photographer captures the moments that count.
Wedding photographers share a unique relationship with their clients. The info photographers need for truly memorable images is far more personal than the predictable checked boxes mentioned in most bridal mags or guide books in their wedding photo inventory lists. You know exactly what I’m referring to: bride with father shot, bridesmaids shot, bride walking down the aisle…

A DJ can make or break your wedding reception.
Shaking my tailfeather at a reception is one of the highlights of attending any wedding. While on the surface I enjoy getting my two-step on, I think we can all agree certain tunes bring us pure joy. The universal language in all of her genres instantly transport us back to our middle school crush, a sweet first kiss or a warm memory with a deceased loved one. Music and her first cousin dance are essential to a fun-filled and memorable wedding reception and helps us celebrate a special union all while creating new memories that we will later reminisce about in years to come. (Why does everyone have a relative who likes to visit the open bar way too much, flirt with all the young, single guests and never knows when to stop doing the cha cha slide?) [Read more...]
Make your guests feel extra-special with this nifty idea!
Howdy! Today’s post covers two totally unrelated topics. Sue me. First, I wanted to share a cool lil’ tidbit I picked up yesterday regarding escort cards for the wedding reception.

A City Hall wedding can be as stylish (or "tacky") as you want it to be...
Last night I received a sweet message on Facebook from an old classmate about her upcoming nuptials. She’s just starting her planning and torn on the type of wedding she wants. I was ecstatic that she now considers Triple B one of her trusted resources for all things bridal (YAY!) [Read more...]

See what's new at J. Crew!
Last week I checked out the brand-new J. Crew Bridal Boutique in New York City. First and foremost, I’m a big fan of J. Crew’s ready-to-wear so I was only expecting good things from this latest retail expansion completely dedicated to the budding bride. As I suspected, it did not disappoint — the store is fabulous.

Meet Mark Ingram of The Bridal Atelier
Yesterday I posted about neglecting to show designer Amsale any love on Black Bridal Bliss since launching the site a month ago. (I truly hope you guys check her work out soon if you haven’t already.) However, I would also be remiss if I let another day go by without bigging up Mark Ingram on Triple B. Ingram is the mastermind behind the Mark Ingram Bridal Atelier. Ironically, he got his start in the bridal industry working with Amsale as a sales director. [Read more...]
Designer Amsale Aberra
On my way to the J. Crew Bridal Boutique yesterday (more on that soon), I passed the salon of one of my favorite wedding gown designers. I then realized that I’ve yet to mention the wonderful work of Amsale on Triple B! What a pity that is, too because Amsale is hand’s down one of the most highly regarded designers in the bridal game.

How cute are those shoe soles on the right?!
The other day my amiga emailed me about a fab bridal resource in Dallas called The Wedding Party Studio. Said friend was muy impressed with the site and their offerings but I was admittedly a little leery that she exaggerated (just a bit) since she is obsessed with all things bridal these days. I was wrong. This site is a must-visit for any [Read more...]

Blame it on my father since he bought me everything under the sun with my initials on it when I was a little girl; but I'm a bona fide sucker for most things monogrammed. In my adult years I learned many other people feel this way, too. (Insert sigh of relief here.) And I recently learned that C. Wonder has a great assortment of personalized items … [Read More...]
