Bride’s Head Visited: Grading The Wide World Of Wedding Mags

InStyle Weddings "Smart and Chic Ways to Save." "Which Big Screen Bride are You?" A quiz allows you to find out which Bride Wars character you are. "Are you the first of your friends to rock gutsy statement necklaces or ruffled blouses? Are you willing to drop big bucks on the latest fashions? You are…the individualist." A bunch of bridal shoes are covered in rhinestones. Are various splurges "worth it?" Apparently this whale cake is (Fig 1) because it doubles as décor! Never skimp on photography or catering: "the food is the heart of the event," says some wedding planner. "Season's Eatings: Take a cue from the calendar for a wedding cake as delicious on the inside as it is gorgeous on the outside." The summer cake is paisley. (Fig 2) And: "the citrus in the yuzu brightens up the richness of the ganache, making it a perfect flavor for spring." A bunch of really expensive rings (Fig 3). Colors "beyond pink and brown." Black Eyed Pea Jaime "Taboo" Gomez marries his fashionista bride Jaymie Dizon. (Fig 4)"The newlyweds cruised in a Rolls-Royce Phantom to the Biltmore Hotel in Santa Clara. As a nod to Taboo's Mexican heritage. A mariachi band sang to the 200 guests during cocktail hour; a Filipino folk dance honored Dizon's birthplace. Later, singer and friend Frankie J performed Extreme's power ballad "More Than Words" as the couple led their mothers onto the dance floor." Timbaland and Monique Idlett had a "Heaven-and-Earth" themed wedding on some private island. Comedian Arden Myrin and her husband had the guests in "peals of laughter" with their "cheeky vows." Later, they "amused guests with a choreographed dance routine to Scissor Sisters ‘I Don't Feel Like Dancin.'" Grade: C - Miller Hi-Life, "the Champagne of Beers."
