If you're anything like me, one of your favourite things to do is veg out on a Friday night watching episodes of 'Say Yes to the Dress'. How awesome would it be to do a little turn in front of those grandiose mirrors and fancy couches?

Well, wonder no more, because Kleinfeld's liveliest bridal…

So that's the question. What do bride's want? Is it an elaborate cake that looks like it's taken out of Modern Bride magazine? Cakes that will take your breath away, or does it matter at all?…

Let's face it, the best part of awards shows is seeing what gowns the stars step out in. What's better than being able to openly mock a millionaire on their style sense from the comfort of your own home? But some gowns are like pieces of art that can inspire your look on a day when all eyes are on you. We noticed that this year's gowns lacked accessories if only because they were statements on their own. Check out some of our favs...…

Halloween is my favourite time of year and, I feel, can be one of the most creative themes for a wedding. Having a halloween-themed wedding doesn't mean your guests need to be drinking red wine out of a skull glass, but subtle touches of this dark holiday can prove to be quite tasteful and memorable for both you and your guests.

If I were to have a halloween wedding, here are a few things I would consider. For my venue, it would…

Winter weddings are a sensible choice for many reasons. Seeing that it is usually considered an "off" season, a wedding during winter months can offer you a great deal of savings. In my opinion, another reason to have a white wedding is the amazing photography that you will get…

This brought tears to my eyes...where do we find these men?!

Wedding favours are sentimental parting gifts given to guests to thank them for being involved in such a momentous occasion. I, for one, love collecting these items and I'm always interested to see the couple's...let's face it, the bride's...personal taste in the matter. To be honest, I've received enough funky white serving plates to last me a lifetime. Here are some alternate favour ideas that fare on the budget-friendly side.

Back on June 9th, Confessions of a Thrifty Bride was invited to be a guest on the Rogers lifestyle talk show, Daytime Toronto.

This particular segment explores how to save some money on different aspects of your wedding. We are looking forward to doing many more segments like these in the next couple of months.

Nowadays, it's almost too easy to catch your most embarrassing (or flawlessly executed) moments on video...and it's even easier to share them with the rest of the world. But on your wedding day, when all eyes are on you, try not to sweat the small stuff. These videos prove that you need to keep your sense of humour, things could probably be much worse.

Here are some wedding moments that either gave me goosebumps, the giggles or…

Ahhhh the wedding dress...possibly the most expensive dress you will buy in your lifetime only to wear it once! My personal obsession with tulle and lace aside, brides (especially those on a budget) should know that there are options other than expensive chichi bridal boutiques. A great option would be to check out some local bridal consignment or discount stores and shops that are just prone to great sales. They may be a bit harder to come by, but they are definitely worth the…
