Who would've guessed that umbrellas could make such an impact on your décor?

Earlier this week, a video of Texas bride Ashley Richmond's wedding dance with her dad, David Sparks, went viral and was quickly hailed as the greatest father daughter wedding dance ever.
Their four-and-a-half minute routine started with a classic father-daughter song, "My Girl" by the Temptations. But before long, the pair launched into a hilarious—and impressive!—choreographed routine that cycled through 10 different songs, from Motown classics to Beyoncé.
We love how Dad looked a little nervous in the beginning, but then he really got into it!
It’s a good thing I was decisive when it came to finding Corey, the man of my dreams—choosing the dress of my dreams has proven to be much more challenging.
Let me start by saying that I’m a very practical person, which makes me a very tough shopper. Seeing veils for $200 and finding a dress that I loved, only to learn that alterations would cost $400 - $500, is pretty hard to compute. Wedding dress shopping by the numbers: Thousands of gowns (priced between $100 to tens of thousands of dollars), only five to ten dresses that you actually get to try on (if you're going by the standard recommendation), just one dress that’s “The One.” In a sea of white, there's a whole lot of green!
Even if you're skipping the garter toss tradition, there's no reason you can't still wear one—especially when they're this gorgeous! Bleu Garters specializes in handcrafting keepsake garters from fine silk and antique lace.
“A big trend I'm noticing is brides being more adventurous with color and not sticking to white/ivory/light blue," said Jaime Lawson, founder of Bleu Garters. "Don't get me wrong, the classics are still the most popular garters, but brides have also been ordering their favorite bright colors, as well as the black floral lace garters for their wedding day!”
Garters range from $60 to $120 at shopbleugarters.com. Here, some of our favorites from the new collections.

There are a thousand and one gajillon travel websites out there, and figuring out which one to trust can be a major time-suck. That’s where I come in. True story: I’m a mess when it comes to managing my miles. I know, I know, with the amount of flight time I do, you’d think I’d want to cash it all in for more rewards. Part of my problemo is that I rarely fly the same airline. The other excuse? Well, I’m not really sure about that answer. Luckily for those who are a little less organized than most type A-ers, there’s a new site that can streamline the process. PointHub.com not only helps you manage your miles, reward points, and other accumulative prize scenarios in a single spot; it also offers a side-by-side analysis of cash vs. rewards, so you can decide which is the best option for you.
Eternity rings are the gift that keeps on giving. With each five-year anniversary, your partner can add a new band to stack and customize your look.
Having a sweetheart table? All eyes will be drawn to you anyway, so turn the table into a lavish focal point of the room!
Hello, my lovely BG.com readers! With only six days left until our wedding, Luke and I are looking forward to breathing huge sighs of relief when the big day finally arrives (and also wondering how it passed by so fast!).
Here's something that will drag out that feeling just a bit longer: We're having another wedding. Well, not another wedding per se, but a reception in Singapore for my side of the family.
Although I am Eurasian and have a lot of non-Asian influences in my life, I grew up with a very strong Chinese background. So I wasn't surprised when my mum came up to me one day and asked if we could throw a reception back home for elderly family members who can't attend my Vegas wedding. In Asian culture, it is considered to be good luck to have all of your extended family present on a big occasion.
Check out more Chinese traditions that I plan to follow at my wedding!
