I have yet to see a bridesmaid's dress that doesn't look like a bridesmaid's dress. It is usually the fault of the weird colour chosen. "The Frisky" put together this irreverent guide to what your bridesmaid dress colour choice says about you.
What colour did you choose?

"Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed and Something Blue." We all know this traditional poem, but here is a modern twist on it: I Do Tattoos.
These temporary tats offer a unique and whimsical way for the bride to express herself on her wedding day. It can placed where everyone will see it, a surprise when the groom is removing the garter or it can be a hidden surprise for the groom.
For $36 you receive two of your chosen tattoos (one to practice with, one to use on your wedding day), and a keepsake folder with a screen print of your tattoo and later turns into a frame.

Ever feel like your peepers just aren't blinged out enough? Me either, but apparently some women do. There are now diamond or crystal-encrusted contacts available for those who feel the glimmer of love in their eye just isn't enough on their wedding day.
For the bargain price of $15,000, you can get your own contact lenses encrusted with white or yellow gold and diamonds from the creator of eye jewellery, lasereyejewellery.com.

From designer Anothony Mallier:
Swarovski has been synonymous with adding that extra `sparkle’ to everyday life. Swarovski crystals have the power to transform the ordinary into something extraordinary through their sheer brilliance. `Sparkle’ is one such attempt to enhance the expression of one of our most expressive features: our eyes. Sparkling eyes have long been an expression of natural beauty. With Swarovski crystals fused into contact lenses, your eyes can sparkle like they’ve never sparkled before!
If you can't afford the real thing, ecoloredcontact.com carries these diamond-look cosmetic contacts for only $24.99.
**Please remember, there are some places fashion really shouldn't tread. It's really not a good idea to put anything foreign in your eyes, so if you really want custom contact lenses, please order and have them properly fitted through your optometrist.**
Thanks to fellow WPIC Alum, The Wedding Guy, Karim Shivji, for the heads up on this trend.
After coordinating many weddings where windy conditions caused her bride’s veils to blow every which way, disrupting the ceremony & photos, Jill Watson decided that there was a need to find a way to keep those veils down and under control. So, she created these beautiful pieces of magnetic jewelry that can be easily attached to a brides veil...“when the wind blows...your veil won’t.”
These beautiful veil weights are made of genuine mother of pearl and Swarovski crystals and contain two small hidden magnets. The veil weights are not permanent; they’re very easy to put on and take off and allow your veil to have movement while keeping it from blowing out of control!
Veil Weights jewelry are something a bride needs on her wedding day if her wedding is at the beach, on a cliff by the ocean, on an island, a yacht, in the desert, in wine country or anywhere the wind may be blowing.
When the wedding day is over, you can use Save the Veil as magnets to hang up your beautiful wedding photos. They become a keepsake of your fabulous wedding day!

Long Dresses
With looks like these, your friends will beg you to let them be a bridesmaid. The only problem with these dresses? Unfortunately your best buds will have to fit standard sizes S-XL.

A fellow WPICer, Christie Vito from Stellar Events in Ottawa, put me on to this amazingly talented lady and her company, Figgie Shoes.
Deborah Thomson (aka "Figgie") is the mastermind behind this collection and she is from Windsor, ON.

The above photo is the first pair of hand-painted perfection, ever created by Figgie Shoes.
If you look closely, you can see the special items on the shoes; The place they got engaged, a caricature of themselves and their dog, coffee cups, vintage cameras and motorcycles, etc. which were all items that the bride wanted integrated into the shoes.
Thomson's mission: "Making the world a more beautiful and customized place... starting with your feet!"
