If you love sparkly, embellished dresses, you'll love Pnina Tornai's latest collection! Known for her luxe high-impact designs, Pnina's runway show did not disappoint. These dresses are just as stunning from the back as they are from the front, featuring plunging backs, jewels, ruffles, and more. 

Bridal Guide was invited backstage to get the scoop on the hair and makeup for this collection. We also scored an exclusive interview with the designer herself on her inspiration for this collection. Plus: Watch the full runway show!

Norma and Gordon Yeager were serious when they vowed, "Til death do we part," back in 1939, the day that Norma graduated from high school.

Last week, the couple was involved in a fatal car accident and rushed to the intensive care unit, but their conditions did not improve. Gordon and Norma were placed holding hands in the same room in the ICU, but they were not responsive. 

At 3:38 P.M., Gordon passed away while still holding Norma's hand. After he stopped breathing, the family was baffled to still see activity on the heart monitor. The nurse explained that essentially, because they were holding hands, her heart was beating through him.

The queen of bridal believes that brides tend to fall into one of several style categories — individualist, minimalist, modernist, romanticist and traditionalist — she hits all of these notes in her newest collection for David's Bridal, launching in February. 

Check out these exclusive, behind-the-scenes shots from the preview! Be prepared to shriek when you spot the pricetags (out of joy, for once, which is refreshing for us budget brides); nothing costs more than $1,500. 

Recognize this classic design? It was modeled after Kim Kardashian's ceremony gown — but will only set you back $1,500. We love the juxtaposition of the nipped-in Basque waist with the cloud-like tulle. With lace detailing and a cathedral-length train, it's ideal for princess brides. Fun fact: I was so entranced by the back that I almost forgot to snap the front...whoops.

Being an amateur photography enthusiast, I can say—with a little bit of shame mixed in with some self-loathing—that I want to clone myself so that I can stand next to the photographer at my wedding. I would point out, "Oh look, there!" and "Quick, quick, quick; they're having a moment!"

Don’t judge. You know you kinda wish you could, too.

So when I read on various wedding blogs that this magical must-take photo list actually existed (and it was not at all considered to be obnoxious), I was ecstatic, to say the least. Read on for the wedding photo ideas I'm dying to steal!

1. My dress hanging on its own

This baby cost me two months worth of work, so needless to say, she better be getting quite a bit of attention in front of the lens.

2. Our rings

This snapshot is probably the most cliché, but I do think that out of the entire wedding process, the rings don’t get paid as much attention as they should. They will bind us as husband and wife from that day forward.
