Baby's breath is no longer relegated to "filler flower" status; it's been popping up everywhere lately, from bouquets to centerpieces to ceremony décor. And it's no surprise why: this extremely budget-friendly bloom is readily-available year-round, it's versatile, and it can make an impact at any kind of wedding, from a rustic backyard to a formal ballroom. Here, some of our favorite ideas.

Once you've sent out your wedding invitations, it's time to sit back and relax (yeah, right!) as the responses come rolling (more like trickling) in. However, as any real bride knows, the process is rarely ever that simple. RSVP cards may return to you with an illegible name, they could be damaged from the mail, or—even worse—blank. 

Here's how to prevent yourself from going postal:

When Michael and I began the process of choosing our honeymoon destination, we both decided to write down the top two things we wanted most from the vacation. I was looking for an oceanfront suite, where I could spend our days on the beach and listen to the ocean waves crash on the shore in the evenings. Michael's main goal was to relax and unwind, but he also wanted to visit a spot that we were unlikely to return to in the near future (an eleven-hour flight is not something we want to repeat very often!).

Once we chose Hawaii, we started to research the islands to see which suited our needs. We opted for Oahu and Kauai. Oahu was our first choice due to the rich history (it's home to Pearl Harbor) and the new addition of the Aulani Villas, a Disney Vacation Club (DVC) resort. Since we're already DVC members, Michael and I were able to save on our accommodations for the five nights we were spending in Oahu, while still getting the Disney hospitality that we are accustomed to. This great savings allowed us to splurge on our resort for Kauai, opting for Ko'a Kea Hotel & Resort. Kauai was a no-brainer because we desperately wanted a secluded location with plenty of outdoor activities.

Beauty and the Beast fans were treated to an extra bit of animated romance at the 3D premiere this weekend. Tangled Ever After, the short film sequel to the 2010 hit, Tangled, runs before each showing of Beauty and the Beast 3D and features the wedding of Rapunzel and Flynn Ryder.

Check out these sneak peek clips from the film—and see what goes wrong right before the couple exchanges vows!
