Happy Shopping Brides-to-Be!
I hope you had a restful holiday weekend. I came across a few Cyber Monday deals that I thought might interest you all. I’m also encouraging the Kwanza practice of Ujamaa (cooperative economics) a little early. FYI – Most of these incentives last through the end-of-the year. Happy Shopping!

Don't let a little snow ruin your bridal fashion.
Technically winter is still a couple of months away but here in the Northeast U.S. we were treated to an early debut just this weekend. It got me to thinking about all those fall/winter brides who might be struggling with ways to stay warm on their big day. We already know there are huge financial benefits to getting hitched during off-peak times of year but the bridal fashion choices don’t immediately seem as plentiful. Don’t fret, just check out these winter wedding suggestions that aren’t just stylish but affordable, too.

The $99 (!) Halter Charmeuse Floor Length Gown from David's Bridal current DB Studio collection.
Happy Friday! Yesterday I previewed the spring 2012 collection from David’s Bridal. I know some folks consider David’s Bridal boring and predictable (and sometimes quite frankly they are) but they’re such an accessible resource for you brides getting married with a gang of bridesmaids and/or bridesmaids living in different cities. David’s Bridal is also affordable — let’s face it, your maid of honor might be a single, childless 20-something making close to six digits but your matron might be a stay at home mom with two kids and a baby on the way…Their priorities and levels of disposable income are probably quite different. In addition, I appreciate that their sizes fit a wide range of body types because chances are everyone in your bridal party is not 5’9 and a size 4.
Here are a few trend highlights from DB that you can look forward to seeing next season: [click to continue…]

Road to Mrs. & Tie the Knot Tuesday alum Charli Penn opted for this simple and chic "bride" hanger on her big day.
I first fell in love with customized bridal hangers while viewing the wedding trailer of Virdina and Kevin last year. (I’m a true sucker for anything personalized; blame it on my parents.) Since then, they’ve popped up in countless Tie the Knot Tuesday weddings because let’s face it — they make that all important gown shot every wedding photographer must catch even more special. Newlywed Kim Kardashian even tweeted a picture of her custom gown hanger on her wedding day. [click to continue…]

Earlier this summer, I spoke to a group of interns at my former place of employment, Essence magazine. Immediately following the discussion, several of them approached me about contributing to Triple B. One of those ambitious folks was Janine Rayford. Janine explained that not only was she interested in media but was a nearlywed herself and fan of BlackBridalBliss.com. (Swoon!) Janine pitched me the below piece and managed to make her deadline in the midst of all her other responsibilities. This impressive bride-to-be jumps the broom this weekend and has promised to share her wedding with Tie the Knot Tuesday in the coming months.
Janine and her fiance Doug countdown to their big day. Follow her tips so you don't miss out on all the bliss in the midst of your planning!
When my fiancé Doug proposed in May 2010, I was smack dab in the middle of my last year in graduate school. On top of my studies, I had work, internships and a truck load of other obligations on my plate. But once that sparkling ring slid on my finger, I happily added wedding planning to the top section of my to-do list. It was tough at first – meeting with venues after school and work, scheduling tastings around Doug’s work schedule, scolding myself for studying bridal magazines rather than my textbooks – but as planning wore on I discovered the best ways to balance it all. Now graduated, working and just a few days away from a 200+ guest wedding, I’m here to share my tips on how to fit wedding planning into an already jam-packed schedule.
