Planning a Wedding When Your Parents are Divorced
If your parents are divorced, you're bound to run into some tricky situations while planning your wedding. Who sits where during the ceremony and reception? Who pays for what? How do stepparents fit into the picture?
In The Big Wedding, which hits theaters today, the long-divorced Don and Ellie Griffin (Robert De Niro and Diane Keaton) decide to pretend they're still happily married when their adopted son's ultra-conservative biological mother unexpectedly decides to attend the wedding.

While that approach probably doesn't work in real life, we do have some more practical solutions for dealing with divorced parents at your wedding. Here, get answers to your biggest questions:
"My parents have been divorced for over 20 years, and although both have remarried, they haven’t seen or spoken to each other in all that time. I’m worried about how they might behave toward one another at my wedding. What can I do?"

The pair got engaged in December. "They've known each other for quite some time, as their paths have crossed off-and-on over the past 20 years," a source told Us Weekly.
The San Ysidro Ranch, a picturesque resort with an ultra-private vibe and luxe accomodations, has played host to a number of other celebrity couples over the years, including Jack and Jackie Kennedy, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, Hilarie Duff and Mike Comrie, and Drew Barrymore and Will Kopelman.

Tip of the Day: How long should your ceremony be? Thirty minutes is ideal because it gives you enough time for a gorgeous processional, all of your personalized ceremony elements and the reading of your vows. If your ceremony will be outdoors, that's a comfortable amount of time for guests to sit on a warm or cool day before proceeding to your cocktail party. Some ceremonies, of course, can be perfectly beautiful in 20 minutes, so if you'd prefer a shorter length of time, you’re still in great shape. Whatever you do, limit it to under an hour out of courtesy to your guests.
Check out the most commonly-asked ceremony questions here.

Backstage Beauty: Marchesa
We scored an exclusive backstage pass to one of the hottest bridal runway shows this season — Marchesa. Their newest styles feature cascading peplums, light-as-air ruffles and ultra-feminine sleeves (more on gowns later!), but we also couldn't wait to show you the equally covetable hair and makeup from the show.
Get the Look: Luminous and Angelic Makeup
Marchesa chose none other than renowned celebrity makeup artist Gucci Westman, dubbed by Vogue as “fashion’s favorite face-maker,” to beautify the models for their runway show. The Artistic Director of Revlon took a less-is-more beauty approach, which perfectly complemented the ethereal dress styles.
To create a radiant glow, Westman began by prepping the skin with a luminizer and primer (the key to long-lasting makeup). She used a light foundation, Revlon Nearly Naked, which provided coverage yet still allowed the models' natural beauty to shine through.
