Korbel mixed packs

Wedding favors can be ridiculous (monogrammed bride and groom swag slated directly for the dustbin), redundant (a bottle of olive oil or jam with the date of the wedding – cute – but overdone), or rapturous: a personal-sized bottle of bubbly just for you. What’s better is that Korbel’s guest-sized bottles of joy are 25% off! We heart Korbel, and love the fact that they are adding a little more sparkle to wedding favors (and helping couples save on the big day with big bubbles). Salut!

From pink....

To Think....

The Dessy Group, a leading bridesmaid dress manufacturer for over 70 years, is pleased to introduce NEWLYMAID – a unique way to exchange a bridesmaid dress after the wedding for a new little black dress that can be worn for any occasion. Filling a void in the market, Newlymaid is the first service of its kind to offer women a way to enjoy savings, reduce their carbon footprint, help others in need, and get a fabulous dress they can wear for any occasion. With the Newlymaid service, women can turn their gently worn bridesmaid dresses into new ready-to-wear styles. Newlymaid will accept bridesmaid dresses and special occasion dresses from ANY designer brand. In return, Newmaid offers a special 30 – 50% credit value towards a new ‘any occasion’ dress. The dress styles, which sell between $150 to $250 at full price, range from a sophisticated office look to flirty looks fit for a night on the town.

How It Works

Upon visiting NewlyMaid, customers can request a complimentary return mailer to ship their old dress to NEWLYMAID. The mailer will include a prepaid return-shipping label for an easy return. Once NEWLYMAID receives the returned garment, it is inspected to make sure it meets the NEWLYMAID criteria: no pulls, tears or stains and all zippers and closures must be in good working order. If the dress qualifies, the customer will receive an email confirming that the dress is accepted and that special pricing has been ‘unlocked’ on her NEWLYMAID account. She can then visit NEWLYMAID to order her dress at the special price. The returned dresses will be either donated to charity or recycled. Dresses which are suitable for reuse will be donated to Clothes4Souls. Please visit clothes4souls.org to learn more about how the organization brings shoes and apparel to people in need around the world. NEWLYMAID will work with UNIFI, a global textile company, to recycle qualifying dresses that are 100% polyester. Future NEWLYMAID styles offered will include REPREVE (R)- recycled fibers made by Unifi. REPREVE is a registered trademark of Unifi, Inc. To learn more about Repreve visit: www.repreve.com. NEWLYMAID offers a way to swap “something old for something new” in a modern way with environmental benefits and charitable incentives.  Visit www.newlymaid.com to get started!

Finally, the ammo you've been waiting for....

Anti-Brides, when I saw our Destination I Do superstar, Courtney Cox, take this one on for the team, I was overjoyed. Bridesmaids are many times, fiscally brutalized (they don’t call em ‘maids’ for nothing!). Part of the reason I didn’t have bridesmaids was because walked the aisle one too many times (and have the sea foam green chiffon confections in my closet to prove it). Plus, I eloped to SF City Hall and had 3 rocking parties in DC, Paris and SF! I actually took this topic on in all 3 Anti-Bride books: respect the bridesmaid, her budget, and her style. The life of the maid is never ending scenario (similar to Bill Murray’s character in the film “Groundhog Day”): your good friend states “I’m getting married!” and then as if abducted by aliens, you’re in a dress shop plunking down your credit card for a $300 dress that you loathe (not including shoes, accessories, and more). Again. Or, the wedding pre-event circus from shower, to weekend in Vegas or Napa blows through your savings account like a cyclone. Because there are only so many drag queens you can give your used bridesmaids dresses to, and there is still some resistance to ordering online (J. Crew rules the bridesmaids dress market, ladies, and Anthropologie is heading into bridal as well!), this book is looking mighty fine. One small request: might we one day remove the word “maid” from “bridesmaid” – it might change things up a little….Enjoy!

When you or your girlfriend get engaged, there are endless books for brides which range in topic from the dress to the day of. But what about the bridesmaids? While being a bridesmaid is obviously not as stressful as being a bride, it does come with its own unique set of challenges and responsibilities. Bridesmaids are responsible for showers, parties and above all being at the bride’s beck-and-call. Unfortunately, all these things cost money and very often, BIG money.

But, have no fear dedicated bridesmaids out there. Bridal expert Sharon Naylor is here. She’s the author to more than 35 wedding books and her most recent, Bridesmaid on a Budget is in stores now. The book provides tips and tricks for being a wonderful bridesmaid, without putting yourself out of house and home. Below are some of my favorite tips.

-Be Honest: In order to avoid your bride thinking she isn’t worth all the effort or that you’re just plain cheap, explain from the beginning that times are tight and you’re keeping cash in mind.

Triporama.com: This one is especially helpful for all you destination brides. Triporama.com makes group travel a breeze. You can create your own site for free (it doesn’t get any cheaper than that) and it’s a convenient place for you to build an itinerary, share travel plans and communicate with your guests.

Where to Shop: When purchasing your bridesmaid’s dress, do your research. For example, try to avoid buying your dress in April when proms are right around the corner and dress prices sky-rocket. Also, look at multiple stores for a similar style dress. The difference in price for pretty much the same dress will shock you.

The Basics for a Bridal Shower: In order to save some serious cash, borrow what you can for the bridal shower. This is where a large bridal party comes in handy! Also, don’t be afraid to ask the bride’s female family members if you can borrow certain essentials. Things to borrow not buy: coffee maker, blenders, candleholders, serving utensils, coolers and seasonal décor items – to name a few.

Drinks, Cake and Food: Naylor also provides handy guides to ensuring you have the right amount of food for all the party guests. This makes it a cinch to make sure no one goes home hungry and allows you to not overspend by buying too much.

Top Ten Bridesmaid Budget Mistakes:

1. Letting the louder bridesmaids rule.
2. Not offering non-money alternatives. (DIY projects)
3. Trying too hard to be nice and fit in.
4. Not acting early enough.
5. Not admitting you’re on a budget.
6. Not establishing your own emergency fund.
7. Counting on “maybe money.”
8. Not being organized.
9. Not being a smart consumer.
10. Buying a dress you hope to fit into.

So, even if times are tight, rearrange the budget so you can run out and buy Bridesmaid on a Budget. You’re sure to find plenty that will help you be a fabulous bridesmaid without breaking the bank!
