Would You Line Up For a Bridal Gown Sweep?
If you caught the Today show this morning, you probably saw every soon-to-be bride on a budget in New York City bombard Filene's Basement. Women were lined up since the early morning hours to get their hands on discounted, nonrefundable bridal gowns. And the women came prepared — they brought team members, walkie-talkies and whistles, and plans to divide and conquer the room of brand new gowns to get the right dress in the right size.
Toilet Paper Wedding Dresses
Most brides-to-be would include Vera Wang, InStyle magazine, and the Fashion Institute of Technology as their wedding-prep dream team. Others, like the following women, will settle for Charmin, Cheap Chic Weddings, and Ripley's Believe It or Not! They're winners in the fourth annual design-a-wedding-dress-with-toilet-paper contest.

During trying, economic times, bridal designers are forced to think creatively. On top of slashing prices, designers are cooking up new, imaginative designs to lure in the bride to be. Vera Wang, for example, reduced her price points up to 50 percent with gowns retailing at $3,600 compared to $5,500 last year.
Fab Ad: Temperley Bridal
When it comes to designer bridal wear, Alice Temperley knows what she's doing! She creates beautiful gowns which are surprisingly affordable with prices starting from £1300. These images are taken from the latest ad campaign for the collection and feature two key dresses, the Twinkle and the Catriona.
Carolina Herrera's Bridal Toppers: Love It or Hate It?
No doubt Carolina Herrera makes some desirable wedding gowns. She just showed her Spring 2010 collection and, while gorgeous gowns glided down the runway, I was distracted by the bridal toppers. It's a fun runway idea, but in real life, not so much.
Get in Shape While Planning Your Wedding
Being a bride-to-be is joyful and exciting, but there's no denying that planning for the big day can be really stressful. You have so much to think about: flowers, the ceremony, invitations, your dress, the cake, and the honeymoon. Planning the wedding can be as much work as a full-time job!
