The Ultimate Online Destination for Black Brides
Bella Azul: These blue satin shoes won't break your bridal bank!
I thought it was time for Triple B to share another round up of fly footwear so brides can strut their stuff. Not only are these shoes beautiful, but they’re guaranteed to save you a few. (Bucks that is!) Ladies, all the shoes mentioned are $130.00 or less. I was sure to include color for the bold bride, sparkle for glamorous bride and a classic style for the calm bride. Happy Shopping! [Read more...]
This adorable flower girl-ready frock is less than fifty bucks!
One of the biggest traps planning brides fall into is the need to purchase “bridal” everything after getting engaged and not realizing that anything labeled bridal is marked up significantly because bridal-centric retailers know there is a high emotional attachment to their goods and services. This is definitely the case for fashion and accessories. Nearlyweds, get familiar with J.Crew Factory! [Read more...]
It is time for another Triple B Twitter Chat, folks! Next up are Kesha Lambert (photographer) and Charlene Armstrong (make-up artist). This talented duo (pictured above) are the owners of Lash to Lens — a photography and make-up studio based in New Rochelle, New York. These ladies have vibrant spirits, great artistic eyes and a true passion for what they do. I might be a tad bit subjective since they are responsible for my memorable e-session but Lash to Lens has also worked with notables such as Kelly Rowland and La La Anthony. On Thursday, September 26th at 9P EST, Kesha and Charlene will answer all your burning questions about bridal makeup and wedding photography. This is an excellent opportunity to get valuable information (Remember the awesome advice Kesha doled out in this post? Or what Charlene taught us about false lashes here?) that could save you money, time and stress down the line. So take full advantage and tell a friend to tell a friend or five. Remember Triple B can be found on Twitter here. We’ll be using the hashtags #bbbchat and #lash2lenschat — don’t miss it!
Kerry Washington STUNNING on the 2013 Emmy Awards red carpet!
As if we needed another reason to swoon over Kerry Washington, the newlywed arrived to the 2013 Emmy Awards in this frothy Marchesa gown from the Spring 2014 collection. The intricate appliques, unexpected metallic touches, feminine ribbon belt and strap combo at bodice and “I Do” worthy train made Triple B do a triple take. [Read more...]
Milla & Me at her chic treatment boutique!
Last month I had the pleasure of getting a facial at Milla’s Treatment Boutique. It was awesome. Although I had been to the boutique once for a press event, this visit was my first time actually having a treatment done by Milla and my first facial in years. The best part? I received my service the day before my bridal shower/bachelorette party weekend (more on that later) so my skin was definitely in need of some TLC. Here’s how Milla took care of me: [Read more...]

Mixin' it up!
So here’s the long and short of it: I’m smitten by the idea of bridesmaids wearing different dresses! It is an awesome way for their true personalities to shine through and everyone gets to look their best in a dress that most flatters their body type. The fact is many brides (like moi) would rather not have their girls look like clones on their big day. Brands like Two Birds have recognized this desire from brides and bridesmaids alike and capitalized on it. But what I fancy even more is when bridesmaids rock completely differently dresses like in the above pic. [Read more...]

Bands to make him dance: This cool wedding band is sixty bucks on etsy.com!
Did you know that Etsy, the go-to online resource for every DIY (do-it-yourself) bride on the planet, has a wide selection of wedding bands? Honestly I didn’t until very recently. Mr. TK and I are beginning the –slightly daunting — process of searching for wedding bands (admittedly a little late) and I was overwhelmed by all the factors to consider: How will the band complement my engagement ring? How will our bands complement each others? Do we go matchy-matchy or not? What should we budget for bands? Should we get them engraved? Sheesh! [Read more...]
Chances are you've come across one of the many elaborate rehearsal dinners covered on the Web (Hello, Pinterest!). Some of these rehearsal dinners are fancier than my wedding was for Pete's sake. If you have the time, energy, money/resources and desire to host an affair like this or this, then go for it. Otherwise, I suggest you check out my cheat … [Read More...]
