Bad-Ass Weddings

Posts Tagged ‘Wedding dress’

One of the latest and IMHO best wedding trends is the red wedding dress, but there are a few things you need to do to pull it off.

Not just any old red wedding dress will do.  If you’re going red, you should go BIG!   Don’t shy away from the dress.  Ball gown style dresses work best with the color red.  If you wear a red fitted mermaid dress, you may just come out looking like you are bleeding.

If nothing about you says white, fluffy and sweet, you are probably going to want a non traditional wedding cake!  These bad-ass wedding cakes can be of just about any variety, including cupcakes and candy tables, which are growing in popularity.

Wedding cupcakes are usually stacked on a tiered stand, which makes them sort of resemble a traditional wedding cake.  Candy tables are simply tables which are covered in different sized glass jars which are filled with all different kinds of candy.  If you want your guests to be awake well into the wee hours for your reception, the candy table is the way to go.

For today’s wedding porn, I thought that I would show you some photos of some pretty bad-ass wedding cakes.  These are non traditonal at best and strange at worst.

I cannot tell you how much I love this skull cake! I can only hope that the bride wore a black and red wedding dress! And had tattoos! Lots of them.

Ok, so I may be a little prone to exaggeration, but this Mario Wedding Cake is the best wedding cake in the world! Again, I hope that the bride and groom dressed the part, but even if they didn’t, they still get my vote for the best geek wedding cake award!

The Mario cake is beautiful and well executed.  That’s one thing about having a non traditional cake.  Just because you are doing something unusual doesn’t mean that it has to look crappy! It should be beautiful in it’s very own way!

Speaking of geeks, this next one is the ultimate in grooms cakes for the geek guy.  Again, it’s beautifully done and I’m sure the groom just about wet his geeky little tux pants when he saw this cake!

I wonder what the wedding cake looked like?

Ok, since this post has turned into sort of a geek fest, let me include another favorite of mine.  The Katamari wedding cake. I’m not ashamed to tell you that I carved my pumpkin last Halloween into a katamari shape.  And it was almost as bad-ass as this cake.  I have to admit that I play Katamari quite a bit, so this cake is right up my alley!

Since I’ve been biased toward geek cakes, for fair journalism purposes, I’ll include a non traditional wedding cake that I think is hideous, but that I’m sure the redneck bride and groom were totally proud of. That’s the point, though of non-traditional weddings, you get to do what you want and say “fuck you” to everyone else.  I’m sure there had to be someone in the wedding party’s family saying, “My God, Jimbob, why in the hell would they do that to a wedding cake?”

Either way, like I said, having a non traditional wedding cake is all about getting what you want and giving a hearty middle finger to tradition. So folks, even though I think your cake embodies everything that’s wrong with our nation, I salute you!

Most women who dream of a perfect wedding would naturally want to wear the best wedding dress on her big day.  But what if you are constrained by your budget and you just can’t afford to buy that best dress for your wedding?  Don’t be sad as you have a solution in used wedding dresses.

There are wedding dresses up for sale that have been used but looks no different than brand new dresses.  You will realize that you can still find that wedding dress you have dreamed about when you just find the time to look into these used dresses for your wedding.

Since you are buying used, you can’t expect the wedding dress to be in perfect condition.  You may need to do some alterations to fit your size.  You may want to wash the dress even if it has been washed just to make sure that you are wearing it clean.

There are several places where you can get second hand wedding dresses.  From relatives and friends to garage sales to retail stores that offer such.  But if you want to have before you a whole range of choices, you can shop for your wedding dress online.

You may want to check auction sites that offer good quality worn dresses.  As long as you are patient in your search, you’ll be able to come across a good buy.  You may also visit several websites that specialize in the selling of used wedding dresses.

You ask, what’s with a used wedding dress?  There’s a lot.

Even though I am already married, I know all about the fear behind that dreaded thought,  “good god what if i don’t fit into my dress!”  In fact, I have my 20 year reunion coming up and we all know what that means…

Let the dieting begin!

One of my clients told me today about a diet she was on called  the idiot proof diet…and here I was thinking she was looking all thin because of all the stress of her divorce!  Nope…she’s on a mission and on a diet.  Anyway, I decided to do a little research into it and share the info along with all of you just in case some of you bought your wedding dress a couple of sizes to small to “encourage” weight loss.

Apparently the diet goes in bursts of 11 days.  You log in online for the diet plan and follow your meal plan for the day (4 meals), which alternate meals with carbs and meals with protein.  At the end of the 11 days, you get to have 3 free days to eat what you want…and then you start all over.  My client’s (ex) husband lost 10 pounds in 9 days so she’s giving it a shot.

What do you all think?  Has anyone tried it?
