Get the Look: Kim Kardashian's Wedding Gown
Whether you love her, loathe her, or couldn't care less, if there's one thing to take away from Kim Kardashian's wedding, it's that her Givenchy Haute Couture gown was perfectly on-point. (It received nearly 700 "likes" on BG's Facebook account!) The 33-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians star has stepped up her style game since dating now-husband Kanye West, but even editors were shocked to see her don long sleeves and a high neckline for the big day.
The see-through panels at the waist are what made this look feel sultry and fresh; sheer wedding gowns were trending at this season's bridal runway shows and they're expected to gain even more momentum in the year ahead.

If you are one of the many brides-to-be preparing to walk down the aisle in a strapless, spaghetti strap, or sleeveless gown, here are a few of my favorite exercises to help tone your arms for the big day.
Triceps Extensions with a Resistance Band
Position yourself on your knees with a resistance band under your shins. Hold the band in both hands, and raise your arms above your head, biceps aligned next to your ears. Bend your elbows to a 90-degree angle behind your head, then fully extend the arms without locking your elbows. Aim for 20-25 repetitions.

All the Details on Kimye's Fairy Tale Wedding — Including the Dress!
The countdown is over: Kim Kardashian is officially Mrs. West, and we've got all the details on her and Kanye's big day! Everyone on the Western hemisphere knew that the krazy-in-love couple would pull out all the stops for their May 24 nuptials, but how exactly do you top a Vogue cover, a baseball stadium proposal, a 15-carat ring worthy of its own zip code and worldwide domination?

Well, for starters, the 33-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians star and 36-year-old "New Slaves" rapper's wedding festivities were hosted in two different countries. The pre-wedding celebrations took place in Paris — including a private tour of the Palace of Versailles (complete with fireworks and a surprise performance by Lana Del Rey), a bachelorette party at the Eiffel Tower, and a brunch at Valentino's Château de Wideville — before guests were flown out on private jets to Italy for the ceremony and reception.
The newlyweds exchanged vows at Forte Di Belvedere in Florence, Italy, which reportedly cost a cool $411,000. Both countries have special meaning to the couple but Yeezy recently told La Nazione that daughter North was conceived in Florence "among the masterpieces of the Renaissance" (TMI alert!).
Cheat Your Way to a Celeb-Style Wedding
Celeb weddings are a not-so-secret indulgence. Between the glamorous head-to-toe outfits, the unbelievable luxury, and all of the fanfare leading up to the celebration, we eat it up by the spoonful. And while most brides don't have a celebrity-sized budget, there are a few key pieces that can be worked into your wedding day without accruing that sky-high price tag.
So without further ado, here are 10 steal-worthy tips for translating the details from our favorite celeb weddings into your big day:
1. Pack those bags and get ready to jet set!
Destination weddings are "oh so celeb" — think Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's Italian nuptials or Stacy Keibler's recent Punta Mita "I do." Hosting your nuptials abroad helps you pare down the guest list and with the beauty of a far flung locale, décor is at a minimum. Plus, you have your honeymoon spot already built in. Another great option is a semi-destination wedding at a domestic locale or even your hometown, which will still give your guests the experience of traveling somewhere new.

Etiquette Q&A: "Whose Parents Walk First During the Processional?"
Q. When walking up the church aisle, who goes first, the bride’s mother or the groom’s parents?
A. The groom’s parents precede the bride’s mother during the processional. Here’s a rundown: After the ushers have seated all of the guests, the grandparents start up the aisle, followed by the groom’s parents. Then the bride’s mother takes her turn. She is the last to be seated before the bridal party procession begins.
