How to have a Twilight Inspired Wedding

The great thing about a Twilight-inspired wedding is that, while fellow Twihards will instantly recognize the theme, non-fans will just see a beautiful, romantic wedding with classic touches.  I admit, I am not a Twihard, but I have read all the books.  I love the wedding scene inspired by Shakespeare's A Midsummer Nights Dream.  

I love that the ceremony is treated as the main event.  So often people ignore the ceremony area and only take care in decorating the reception.  As we often say, "There wouldn't be a reception if there wasn't a ceremony!"  To achieve a similiar look, have a foliage-heavy Wedding Arch with white wisteria or white petals strung on fishing wire hanging from it, and large potted plants at each pew.

Twilight-inspired Wedding Invitations are availalbe at Hallmark: 

You can customize the invitation with your details and then Hallmark print it on premium white paper with black lettering. They will even address, stamp, and send the invitations directly to your guests.  You can print the invites yourself for as low as $1.29.

“The Edward and Bella wedding invitation gives super-fans a unique opportunity to create a memorable keepsake from the movie for themselves and their fellow ‘Twi-Hard’ friends or even actually use it for their wedding day,” said Christine Taylor, Hallmark Licensing. “We also saw it as a fun way to invite friends to a viewing party for the Nov. 18th movie release.”

Other Twilight-inspired touches can include the blue and white crystal heirloom-style hairpiece Bella wears in her hair.  We already reported that Braids are going to be hot this Wedding Season.  Photo: Twilightnews.com

Alfred Angelo has purchased the licensing rights to the wedding dress designed by Carolina Herrara and will be offering it in size 0-30 starting today!  The book describes it as a sleeved classic dress, with modern touches. 

Happy Planning to all you romantics out there!

Your Wedding Night with "The Booty Parlor"

By: Tracey Manailescu

Happy Valentines Day to all of the lovebirds out there! 

I was watching a show on television a couple of weeks ago, and this ultra cool store, The Booty Parlor, came up as a hotspot for celebrities to bring their A-Game to the bedroom.  So of course, I wanted to share with you!

        

The Booty Parlor was founded in 2004 by married couple Charlie and Dana B. Myers. Their premise behind the company is that 'confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can have'. The store has been featured on just about every magazine and tv show out there (for the right market).

Products range from sweet and flirty, to down-right naughty!

The Booty Parlor Blog is full of great tips and expert advise to spice up your life! Tips such as how to be a better flirt, how to turn your bedroom into a sexy boudoir, etc.

How great is this for those of you who want to ensure your wedding night will never be forgotten!

Myers has added to the allure of The Booty Parlor by writing a book, The Booty Parlor Mojo Makeover: Four Weeks to a Sexier You released on January 25th, 2011.

Signing off, because I am going shopping!
