If there’s one thing we’ve learned about Pippa Middleton in the weeks leading up to her May 20 wedding, it’s that she apparently loves rules. First, there was the “no ring, no bring” rule that precludes guests from bringing ring-less plus-ones to her ceremony (except for Meghan Markle, as it turns out). And now, the Telegraph reports she’s instituted a two-dresses-per-guest rule. What?

In a move that even Vogue declares to be “slightly high-maintenance,” Middleton has asked guests to bring two outfits to her nuptials to British man James Matthews. The first outfit will presumably be worn at the church ceremony in Berkshire, which basically all of England is planning on attending at this point, and the second will be worn at the wedding reception at her parents’ house.

News of this rule serves as a satisfying end to an earlier detective mission we briefly embarked on (and immediately gave up). You see, E! News had reported earlier in the week that Markle already had two separate dress fittings for the wedding. Procuring two dresses for her boyfriend’s sister-in-law’s sister’s wedding sounded like a bit much to us, but now that we know she actually needs two dresses, it all makes sense.

No word yet on whether this two-dresses-per-guest rule is an actual wedding trend or just a Pippa-specific thing (Vogue says “only time will tell” on that front), but we do wonder where guests will change and where they will be able to store their other outfits. We can only assume the wedding will provide some sort of secure locker-room situation, like at all the nice gyms.

Chasity Byrd always wanted a Christmas wedding. But when her then-boyfriend, Robbie Riddick, proposed to her last June, she knew she wouldn’t have time to plan a wedding in just six months. So Chasity “had to re-think things,” she said.

Since April and October are the best months in Mobile “as far as the temperature goes” (and Chasity, who works as a meteorologist, should know), they settled on April 8 for their wedding at Springhill Avenue United Methodist Church, followed by a reception at the Bragg-Mitchell Mansion with about 325 guests.

Chasity said that she’s “not a crier,” but she was emotionally overwhelmed when she walked down the aisle on the arm of her brother, Clifton Byrd. “I saw so many faces from different parts of my life,” she said. “I was flooded with memories. It was very emotional. As the tears starting welling up, I couldn’t help but smile.”

Robbie’s son, Alex, 14, was his dad’s best man, and his daughter, 9-year-old Isabella, served as junior bridesmaid. The ceremony was officiated by Dr. Chip Starnes of First Baptist Church of Bay Minette, Chasity’s home church. The Hon. Robert Wilters was a scripture reader, which was very special to the couple because he married Chasity’s mother and stepfather.

As the couple left in their limousine, the groom whispered to his new bride that the day “could not have been more perfect,” and she agreed. “Everywhere we looked, people were smiling and having a good time,” she said.

Reception location: Bragg-Mitchell Mansion

How they met: On the job, Chasity said. “We knew each other for many years before we started dating.”

How he proposed: “Robbie and I love to go out on the boat, which is where you’ll find us most weekends. He had talked to my mom, and talked to his kids prior to this particular outing to the west end of Dauphin Island. Anyone who knows Robbie knows he is a very private person, so it’s no surprise there on the secluded beach he asked me. He said he was very nervous when he asked me to go for a walk down the beach. I still had no idea what was going on when he stood in front of me saying the nicest things about me and about our relationship. He went down on one knee and then, very shocked, I figured out what was going on.”

The dress: “I could not wait to put on my dress! It was a Sincerity Bridal organza ball gown that I knew was my dress from the moment I saw it. The wonderful ladies of Bliss Bridal in Fairhope said my eyes lit up when I put it on!”

Most memorable moment: “One of the best moments of the day happened at the ceremony. Robbie’s daughter Isabella was a junior bridesmaid and the first person to start the procession. I, of course, was not in the room, but everyone said when Bella started walking down the aisle, Robbie started tearing up, which led Bella to do the same. I heard there wasn’t a dry eye in the place! She told her dad after the ceremony they were ‘happy tears.’”

Funny/unexpected moments: “Unexpected moments always happen with weddings, but we had a couple that were ‘fun’ to deal with that week. There were two days where our area was put under the risk of severe weather, with the possibility of tornadoes. It was kind of ironic, with me being a meteorologist. Everyone at work joked that of course there would be tornadoes the week of our wedding. Luckily, our wedding day ended up being one of the best weather days we see here along the Gulf Coast. The temperature was perfect!”

Wedding traditions: “My favorite was my ‘something borrowed’ and ‘something old.’ My mom had saved a bonnet from when I was a baby that she had made into a handkerchief with my new initials monogrammed on it. I carried it around the handle of my bouquet.

“My ‘something borrowed’ was an antique brooch my grandmother had let me pick out from her collection. It had so many beautiful colors and was the perfect addition to my bouquet. To make my flowers even more special, my mom had given me a small picture of my late stepfather, whom we all wish could have been there. It was attached and joined me on one of the most important walks of my life.”

First dance: “Robbie picked the first dance song and contacted The Denver Hawsey Band without me knowing! It was so sweet. We danced to ‘Holy’ by Florida/Georgia Line, one of our favorite bands.”

Honeymoon: Sandals Royal Caribbean, Montego Bay, Jamaica

Advice for other couples planning a wedding? “Know things are going to happen – things you may not even hear about until you get back from your honeymoon! Remember, at the end of the day, those minor details will be forgotten, so don’t forget to forget those worries and have a good time.”

Weddings are all about love, unity, celebration, and, of course, FOOD! From the first champagne toasts through the last bites of wedding cake, there’s no doubt that wedding food can be a make-or-break factor (and rightfully so!). Here, wedding guests gush over the best wedding food their taste buds were lucky enough to experience.

“I attended a wedding that had a macaroni and cheese bar during cocktail hour. You could pick the type of cheese and toppings. My mouth is literally watering just thinking about the mac and cheese with bacon I ate that day.” —Katelyn, 30

“My friends had bakery-fresh sprinkled donuts at their post-reception/after party. I literally had six in one sitting, and then hoarded more in my hotel room for a midnight/pre-breakfast snack. I also may have brought two home with me. I may have a problem.” —John, 29

“The best food I ever had at a wedding was a shrimp and grits/chicken and waffles buffet. It wasn’t the fanciest food, but it was delicious, original and exactly what I was craving after drinking and dancing!” —Meredith, 28

“Cheeseburger sliders! At the cocktail hour they had a station of hot dogs, barbecue and cheeseburger sliders: all summer staples. It was the best wedding I had ever been to—they had everything!” —Aydin, 26

“Waffles! One of my good friends went to college in Vermont. He spent four years bonding with the local waffle maker (like people do), so when it came time to pick the dessert option for his wedding he knew exactly what he wanted. I’m not sure if it was the atmosphere, knowing that these waffles traveled for six hours to get to the wedding, or the Vermont maple syrup, but bringing in these waffles was the best decision he made all day. Well, second best.” —Ken, 30

“Two words—pasta bar. I had been dieting to look good in my bridesmaid dress and when I saw a pasta bar with tons of styles of pasta, flavors of sauces and mix-ins, I went nuts. I was in carb heaven.” —Alyssa, 28

“One of our friends had this insane Viennese hour with tons and tons of dessert options. From the “Jersey Shore” station with boardwalk staples like fried oreos and zeppoles, to the ice-cream sundae bar, cordial station and endless pastries, I was in sugar-coma heaven.” —Chris, 30

“My cousin had fancy caviar at his wedding. I had never had it before because it’s too darn expensive, but I tried it there and I really liked it! —Liz, 46

Did you know April is National Donate Life Month?

It’s an effort to raise awareness about the need for organ donors – a need folks like Dr. Matt Mulloy, the surgical director of the kidney and pancreas transplant program at Medical City Dallas, are already all too aware of.

Images: bridesmaid dresses

“We have a huge waiting list,” said Dr. Mulloy, “and while people are waiting, unfortunately, some people never make it to the top of that list, because they get too sick to remain on the list.”

That was a fear of Anu Phillip, who was diagnosed with a kidney condition when she was just nine months old.

“As years went by, my kidneys just got worse,” Phillip recalled. “50%, 25%, then in 2011, 0%.”

She was dependent on dialysis, and waiting on a new kidney, for over five years. Until…

“On March 18, 2017, they called me,” she said. “Medical City called me and say they had a kidney for me.”

There was only one problem. Anu and her fiancé Jeswin were getting ready for their wedding – just six days away!

“We weren’t expecting a kidney before the wedding,” Jeswin said with a laugh. “But it just happened!”

It can take a week or more to recover from a transplant, but after some quick thoughts and prayers, Anu and Jeswin decided to risk the wedding and headed to Medical City.

Dr. Mulloy performed a successful surgery, and got her out of there just in time!

“I was discharged the day before the wedding, and got married the next day,” said Anu.

“The next day morning!” added Jeswin.

So Anu got to start a new life, in more ways than one.

“Because of the donor,” Jeswin said, “she got her life back.”

Hey, if you want a chance to make a world of difference for someone like Anu, it’s actually pretty easy!

“You can go to your computer right now,” Dr. Mulloy tells us, “and go to Donate Life Texas, or DonateLife.net. Register, fill out a first-person consent, and that way we’ll have more people on the registry, and more potential donors.”

And more potential happy ending to stories like Anu’s.

Hayden and Vicki made the announcement just last week and possibly in the most casual and cutest way possible—a text message from their darling daughter Scarlet Snow, and if you’re not following her on Instagram then you better get on it. The message sent to Inquirer Lifestyle EIC Thelma Sioson-San Juan read, “This is Scarlet Snow Belo and I would like to invite you to be present when my parents, Daddy Hayden and Mommy Vicki, get married in our favorite city, Paris…” Of course, the rest of the details are kept in private, you think we’d share it, huh?

To celebrate, or at least divert this energy to something, we picked out a few dresses we’d love to see Vicki wear on her wedding day. With Paris as your backdrop, we expect nothing less than beautiful and romantic from her. I mean, we’re pretty sure she helped plan her daughter Cristalle Belo-Pitt’s wedding in Italy and she also gifted Georgina Wilson-Burnand her dream wedding dress, so you know what Vicki is capable of.

A spectacular shot of a bride in her gown can be one of the most enduring images in the spectrum of bridal photos. I’ll state up front that I am not a wedding photographer, but as a fashion photographer specializing in bridal fashion, I’ll wager that I’ve shot more bridal gowns than the average wedding photographer. Along the way I have picked up a few tricks that wedding photographers might find useful when taking a bride’s formal portrait in her gown.

Each season I am hired to photograph catalog and advertising images for a number of bridal designer lines. That can literally mean shooting more than 100 gowns for each of the Fall and Spring seasons. Most often I am shooting a studio setting with controlled lighting. Not every wedding photographer is going to have the time or resources during a wedding shoot or even a formal portrait sitting. Granted, I am photographing experienced fashion models wearing the gowns which is certainly a benefit to the photograph. My shots are staged to make the gown look its best. That is why we hire models. Real brides can be a more difficult subjects. Of course they are both the bride and the client, and you can’t exactly re-cast them, but maybe these tips can help.

1. Controlling Highlights to Prevent Blow-Outs on White Gowns

Highlight control is one of the greatest photographic challenges shooting bridal gowns. In a great many instances gowns are brighter in tone than the woman wearing it. Additionally having lighting closer to the subject is often desired to present a softer effect. Both factors can increase the chances of blowing out the tones in a white gown. I frequently use large softboxes to project a soft beam of light. To combat hot spots I use a black mesh scrim or even full black flag to darken areas of white gowns that are closest to my light source. I carry the Matthews RoadRags Kit with me on all bridal fashion shoots.

The scrim or flag creates a darker area in the beam of light. I frequently try to make that dark area correspond to the torso or chest of the model wearing the gown. That is the area which seems to blow out most often. From experience, my digital technician and I have concluded that keeping the hottest point on a gown at 240 or below on the tonal range scale will prevent most blowouts in the highlights while still keeping the gown looking white. Different materials have different degrees of reflectance. Silks and satins reflect more light than lace or tulle.

This becomes even more critical when I am called upon to shoot white gowns against a white background. In these cases, I use large black cards for negative-fill which gives dark separation edges to define the silhouette of the gown against the bright background. Another technique is to restrict the beam of a light with barn-doors or egg-crate grids that increase contrast even with soft lighting.

2. Improving the Fit or Silhouette of a Gown

A wedding photographer is not going to have the option of changing brides or changing gowns, but there are ways of improving the look of a gown on a bride. The most simple is to select an angle to minimize a bride’s waist. Avoid posing a bride with her shoulders and hips squared to the camera. This position shows the widest line of the waist on most brides. Also include poses that show a bride’s arms away from the line of the waist to keep from interrupting the silhouette. I tend to set my camera position eye level between the model’s hips and shoulder so that I can keep my image plane parallel to the line of the model to avoid tipping the lens up or down and introduce more lens curvature. If you choose to shoot a gown from a rear angle, watch for direction that the zipper is hidden or revealed. Designers always prefer to shoot the angle that hides the zipper under the small flap covering it. It’s a small detail, but one that can weaken an image.

Since the photo will only show one angle of the gown at a time, we use small A-clamps to further tighten the line of the waist. In some cases we also use them to pull in at the knees to increase the mermaid effect of some gowns. A-clamps are one of the cheapest pieces of photographic equipment in my case, but they see frequent use. Occasionally we need to change the entire fit of a gown with several clamps up and down the back or front of the gown pulling in the width. Typically bridal gown samples are size 4-6, whereas a typical fashion model is size 0-2, so we keep a lot of A-clamps around to fit the gowns to the model. In the case of a real bride, most gowns are made to fit the individual bride, but sometimes a little pinch in can project a nicer line.

Gowns are generally designed to hit the floor without causing a fold or break like with men’s slacks. On my shoots for designers we keep a supply of shoes from ballet flats through stripper heels to make sure the front of the gown will hit the floor at the right height, but some designer samples have unusual variations, so I also keep wooden disks that a model can stand on to get to the right height. I learned over time that squared boxes can sometimes push out the line of a gown, so I had some 1” thick disks cut that we can stack to jack up the model.

3. Increasing the Volume of the Skirt and Train of a Gown

For some brides it all comes down to the train. Cathedral length trains can quickly eat up real estate on a photoshoot. Walking down the aisle a long train can project a beautiful and impressive aura, but standing for a formal photo trains usually need some help to fill out the volume of air that is filling it when in motion. Over time I have picked up a few approaches to bringing back the aura to a still photo of a gown with a long train or a voluminous skirt.

Probably the simplest approach is stuffing. Some gowns are made to wear with a petticoat. To get a more rounded and full look we sometimes have the model wear two petticoats under a gown for added puff. It would likely inhibit a bride at a real wedding, but it is an easy add-on for a formal photo. If you don’t have a spare petticoat, dry-cleaner plastic bags also make a good material to ball up and stuff under a gown. Garbage bags serve the same purpose, but they would likely have an adverse effect on the expression of a bride.

For tulle and multi-layer gowns it is important that each layer fall smoothly and not bunch up into each other. Fabric layers often stick to each other with static electricity. We go thru Static Guard by the case on bridal shoots spraying each layer starting with the bottom and adding layers one by one until the final. This will help ensure that the gown is photographed the way the designer intended.

When a train needs more help to overcome gravity we employ the fluff-and-run technique where an assistant will hold up the end of the and gather air under it before gently placing it down on the floor and diving out of the photograph. It is somewhat like playing with a parachute back in elementary school. The inflation of the train will only last for two or three images, so generally we will make several attempts with the fluff-and-run to get the right shot. This works best with light and airy trains and long tulle veils. Other times we sew or tie in lengths of lightweight fishing line to pull or lift the train which are invisible or easily retouched.

Other gowns have heavier satin or lace trains that fall flat no matter how much we toss them. For these we will basically stick the edge of the train to the floor putting tension on the fabric to create the nicest lines. I have different clients who employ different methods of adhering the gown to the floor. The most common is several pieces of rolled up Gaffer Tape that will stick the underside of a train to the floor and provide enough tension to pull out many wrinkles. Too much tension will cause the tape to let go. This technique doesn’t work with sheer trains because the camera will see each piece of tape. I have other clients who use more aggressive approaches to sticking the gown to the floor. Some will use straight pins or T-pins to pierce the end of the gown and stick it to the floor assuming that it is wood and not concrete. Some brides might worry about damaging the train, but done with care this approach should not harm the fabric.

I have one client that throws caution to the wind and just hauls off and staples the gown to the floor. I don’t want to come out and wholly endorse this approach, but I will say that we can really gain a lot of control over the fabric with this method. This has been especially useful when creating smooth, regular arches along the edge of the train. We can be a little rougher on the gowns we shoot because they are samples and won’t be worn by a bride, but we take care not to rip any gowns. Again, I am not advocating this approach for others.

To be sure, I have a lot of help on my sets by people who are greatly experienced in making gowns look good. Situations will dictate when or if any of these tips will apply to formal shots for brides, but I hope that some can help wedding photographers to think more like fashion photographers to please their brides and gain more clients.

The most important part about dressing up for the festival is to “feel as authentically me and comfortable as I can be,” said the singer-songwriter.

Having attended and performed at Coachella (who could forget that surprise dance number with sister Beyonce in 2014?) in the past, Solange is no stranger to the music festival’s street-style scene. However, the fashion maven isn’t one to conform to a dress code of any sort.

“Honestly I have the same philosophies about style and beauty no matter where I go, and that is to feel as authentically me and comfortable as I can be,” Solange told The Hollywood Reporter.

Images: A-line wedding dresses

Indeed, rather than opting for the cliche crochet crop top or flower crown, the “Cranes in the Sky” singer wore a single-sleeve navy pleated Solace London top (“I’m a huge Issey Miyake fan and this is obviously inspired [by him],” she said, referring to the designer’s signature pleats) and vintage Levi’s denim on Saturday while mingling at the Levi’s brunch in Palm Springs. The daytime event was attended by Off-White’s designer Virgil Abloh, who also did a DJ set, Emily Ratajkowski, Jamie Chung and Poppy Delevingne.

Although the performer may not follow the festival’s fashion trends, she does appreciate festival-goers expressing themselves through clothes.

“What I love seeing is people communicating and emoting through fashion in their most authentic ways, whatever they are,” she shared. “You see so much of that here … It’s definitely a special energy that’s there, especially with it being so early in the festival season, so it definitely has its place and its impact in music, fashion and culture. It’s special.”

Solange, who wore a pair of silver rounded rectangle earrings, shared she’s “having a major silver moment” when it comes to her accessories, citing Jennifer Fisher’s designs as one of her favorites at the moment. “I shot a lot of my [music] videos in New Mexico, just that entire Georgia O’Keeffe vibe — I’m dying to see her exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum. And the way in which jewelry can be minimal, impactful, strong and state-making, it’s really having its place.”

As for the designers she’s digging at the moment, she feels connected to those who also want to make a cultural impact and communicate outside of the fashion and design realms, noting Omondi, founded by New York-based designer Recho Omondi in 2013, and Eckhaus Latta, founded by Zoe Latta and Mike Eckhaus in 2011, as the labels she finds are pushing the conversation forward.

After brunch, Solange headed to Coachella in a custom rosy-red lace jumpsuit by U.S.-born, Rome-raised designer Kim Shui. Red hot, indeed.

Guests at a high profile wedding in New Delhi were left clueless after the bride walked off from the venue after it was found that the ceremonial horse was found to be a better dancer than the groom. Neha Sharma, who was all set to get married to Rajveer Khurana, left her family and in-laws red in the face and fumbling with excuses as guests began getting increasingly impatient.

Eyewitness say the problem started after the baraat arrived and the groom made his way dancing to the venue. Speaking to Faking News, a guest revealed, “His dancing looked more like a zombie who got an intense itch on his backside but with no hands to scratch it. In contrast, the horse looked like a better dancer with coordinated steps, gyrating to the bollywood music. No wonder Neha ran away after seeing what was on display.”

The sudden turn of events caused pandemonium as the guests, majority of whom turned up for the food, were left famished. Sources say that a few guests even beat up the family doctor of the Khurana’s, prompting frantic calls to the local police station. “A few guests were angry with wedding being called off and wanted to vent their anger. The family doctor came across as a soft target and got beaten up no fault of his,” said a cop.

There were also speculations that an apparent financial deal falling apart led the wedding fiasco, but the brides family refuted saying after demonetization they had absolutely no money to pay as dowry.

Meanwhile, Ashish has not given up in his efforts to woo the bride and has even started taking up dancing lessons. Close friends say that he even planing to compete for dance reality contest. “Yes its true and I and confident of winning the contest. I have practiced all my steps and also have my emotional backstory ready. The judges will cry buckets after hearing it. This is the only way to prove that I am indeed a good dancer and win her back. I can’t let a horse ruin my wedding,” he affirmed,” he said while checking out a popular bollywood dance number.
