You Can Own A Wedding Dress Once Worn by Beyonce

You Can Own A Wedding Dress Once Worn by Beyonce

The opulent Baracci wedding dress Beyoncé wore in her 2011 “Best Thing I Never Had” music video just surfaced on preownedweddingdresses.com this week, for the Hollywood price of $30,000 (a big markdown from the original $85,000 fee).

An off-white sweetheart ball gown with flecks of gold, the hand-draped double silk size 4 creation is embroidered with French lace and covered with hand-sewn Swarovski pendants and crystals. According to thepreownedweddingdresses.com blog, Beyoncé “reportedly stumbled on the dress while walking by the designer’s Beverly Hills boutique, and asked to wear it in her video.”

The opulent gown is seemingly a far cry from the simpler white dress Beyoncé wore to her own wedding in 2008, a look she shared a peek of in her 2011 “I Was Here” video (the girl certainly had a thing for bridal wear that year, eh?).

No word on who’s selling the gown.

 You Just got ENGAGED!!  That is reason enough to celebrate and have photographs to remember this special moment and milestone in your lives together.

Once you become engaged, there are a many reasons to have engagement photos taken. As a couple, most have not been photographed professionally before, the engagement session is a valuable tool every couple should utilize. Engagement Photos are pictures you will cherish forever because of the fond memories you will associate with them. Plus, it’s fun! The engagement session feels a bit like a double date. Most of our couples tell us they didn't realize it would be so much fun! 

If you've always wanted to have your picture taken somewhere, now is the perfect time to do this. You can even choose a sentimental place, such as the place where you met, to have the photos taken. Your photos will mean more to you if you have them taken somewhere meaningful to you as a couple.

 Anna and her fiance personalized their engagement photos session.  They are huge fan of the NY Yankees!  How amazing are these pictures? one of my favorite photos! this really shows their interest and their fun personalities. 

The best part about the pictures are that hopefully  you and your fiance leave the session more in love than when you came, just as our beautiful soon to be bride and groom in these amazing pictures.

How To Plan A Party On A Budget

How To Plan A Party On A Budget!

Do you have a big event coming up? or thinking of maybe celebrating a special moment in your life? I'm a big believer that there's nothing quite like the memories life's biggest milestones can create.  I for one love celebrating special moments in our lives.

The reality is that even the most beautiful memories can be overshadowed by a debt and over budget. In fact overspending on a big event can overshadow the joy in the long run.  Instead of the fanciest venue or the most elaborate sit-down dinner, concentrate instead on this piece of advice from David Tutera, a celebrity wedding and party planner  "If a guest can go to a wedding and walk away knowing more about the bride and groom, that's what makes a wedding much more unique." The same goes for any other type of special event. It's about the person, not the party.
The average price of a wedding these days is $22,000, And it's not unheard of to drop $20,000 on a Sweet 16.

Below are a few things to keep in mind on putting together a party on a budget.

• Set aside cash. It's never too early to start saving for the big day. If you can avoid using plastic on a $1,000+ bill, you'll bypass those hefty interest charges. Twelve to 18 months in advance of the shindig, figure out as accurately as you can what it's going to cost you. Divide the total by the number of paychecks you get in a year and start automatically shuttling that much money into savings. You can even open a separate savings account if it'll help you keep your fingers off!
• Go in with your eyes wide open. Whether you're planning a wedding, a bar mitzvah or a 25th anniversary party, "you need to make a conscious choice about whether it's more important to you to spend thousands on the event or save the money for some future financial need," says financial planner Ross Levin. "There isn't necessarily a right or wrong answer, but the decision ought to be intentional."
• Don't be afraid to put on the brakes section. If a voice in the back of your head is starting to say this is getting out of control—listen carefully. (And try not to listen to all those service providers who are encouraging you to go overboard on their specialty alone. Do it with each one and your budget is completely out of whack.) Besides, you don't want to end up resenting the money you spend. Nor do you want to overindulge so much that you, the guest of honor, and all the participants lose site of the real meaning of the milestone you're celebrating.
