TLC’s Four Weddings Episode Recap: September 5th

I think the best way to start the weekend is with a recap of  last night’s episode of  “Four Weddings” on TLC.  What are your thoughts of the four brides and their weddings? What details stood out for you? Was there one bride which had a total “wow” wedding day? In case you missed it, we have all the fun filled details right here.TLC

Who are the Brides?: 

  • Laura is ready to say I do at her outdoor wedding location. The venue is a old textile mill, and the wedding starts with the ceremony right outside. The backdrop? A gorgeous waterfall. The bridesmaids have royal blue short dresses and carrying bright yellow bouquets. The bride? She is wearing a simple white gown with a touch of bling on the waist. After a lovely ceremony, guests enter the textile building where the cocktail/reception takes place. Inside is very rustic feel, with a fireplace,  wood details, and exposed rocks. The room has royal blue uplighting, and very simple centerpieces. The centerpieces are yellow and white roses in a vase with a touch of blue lighting. Since Laura and her groom are huge Penn State fans, their cake showed this off a bit more. The cake is a three tiered cake with yellow and royal blue ribbons, yellow flowers, and two Penn State bear figures as cake toppers. Guests then danced the night away.
  • Melissa a bride who wants to wow her guests with her Hollywood Glam wedding.  Her special day begins at a church, and inside it is decorated with white and purple ribbons down the aisle, with two grand flower arrangements at the altar. After a tradtional ceremony, the pair of love birds share their own personal vows with each other. They kiss, and then join their guests a couple hours later for the reception. After cocktail hour, guests head down the red carpet, and into the reception space. The purple and white color theme continued in the reception room, with white chair covers, purple ties, and the guest tables had a flower centerpiece with yellow, purple, and white flowers. Each guest table had a different movie title as their “table number”. The bride and groom make their entrance with the announcement of the best dressed couple. They also received an award. Dinner and dancing soon followed.
  • Dee is ready to share her Indian and Latin cultures at her wedding.  Before guests enter the outside ceremony space, they get to enjoy some lemonade and sweet treats. Guests grab a fan, and head to the gorgeous garden style location for an intimate wedding ceremony. The aisle  is sprinkled with rose petals, and the chairs hang red roses. The backdrop is greenery all around. The bridesmaids wear read short dresses, while the groomsmen wear black suits with red ties. Dee wore a white gown, with a red sash. She accessorized with a beautiful headpiece, Indian style bangles, and henna decorated hands.  After a romantic ceremony, guests travel to the reception hall for cocktail hour and reception to follow. The cocktail hour features desserts. Inside the reception space the colors of teal and red are combined. Teal uplighting, white chair covers and red ties, red table runner,  and teal napkins. The centerpiece was exotic flowers with grand greenery. After dinner, Dee along with her bridesmaids dressed in traditional Saris, performed an Indian dance. The night continued with more dancing with all their guests.
  • Audrianna is ready to go big or go home on her wedding day.  The ceremony takes place inside a room with white and yellow drapery covering the top, like a tent feel.  Featured are hanging chandeliers,  white chairs, a white aisle runner, and a pink cabana where the bride and groom would stand. After the ceremony, the guests head to a boathouse for cocktail hour and reception. Inside the reception space colors of pink and white with a touch of bling are featured. The guest table has a vase with floating pink flower and a lamp shade on top. The whole night was filled with dancing, and even more dancing. The bride also did a dress change after dinner so she can get her groove on.

A Hot Detail:  There was one detail from each wedding that stood out for me. I really loved Laura’s outdoor ceremony. It was simple, yet so beautiful. Being a huge fan of outside ceremonies, this ceremony had it all. The breathtaking waterfall, the birds, the trees, and peaceful setting. I really loved this, as it made for a really memorable ceremony.   So I have to say I absolutely LOVED the dessert bar at Melissa’s wedding. I love my desserts, and when there is more than wedding cake at a wedding, I am set. Super happy and a smile on my face. So when I saw the huge array of desserts offered, my mouth dropped. From, cake pops, chocolate covered strawberries to ice cream, this dessert table had it all. Yum!  I loved the wedding favors at  Dee’s wedding. It was a candle bar, where guests can make their own personal candles. I have never seen this at any wedding, and thought this was super unique and fun. How cool is that? I thought that the father daughter dance at Audrianna’s wedding was super sweet. It started off as a slow dance, and they busted out in free style fun. What a great way to celebrate!

Who won?: Congrats to Dee for winning!  She and her husband won an all expenses paid honeymoon to St. Lucia.  I was not surprised at all about Dee winning.  As soon as I saw her wedding, and all the romantic and beautiful details, I knew she would win.  While I can not account for the food since I wasn’t actually there, all the other details – venue,  bride’s dress, and originality – were owned by Dee’s Indian Fusion wedding. I loved how she was able to incorporate her Indian culture together with her Latin culture into her wedding. It was done so elegantly, and oh so romantic. That ceremony space? Yes please! So lovely and pretty. There were also many personal touches which was amazing! I loved how desserts were served first, (since the groom loves to have desserts before dinner), and the special Indian dance performance. One word: Gorgeous! Congrats to Dee! So how did the other three brides score? Melissa came in second, Laura in third, and Audrianna in fourth. Were you surprised by the results?  Love to hear from you, so please share!

A very Fairytale entrance. After a heartfelt ceremony, the married couple release white doves, and then exit in the horse drawn carriage.  Inside the plantation venue, the reception begins. The space features blue up-lighting, vintage style decor, and tall floral centerpieces. A shout out for the guest bride, Christian for her birthday, and everyone was on the dance-floor having a good time.TLC
  • Courtney  has a love for nature and elegance. Her wedding takes place at a local zoo. First, the ceremony takes place at a church. The decoration consisted of pink and white flowers on the pews, and four grand floral arrangements at the front. After sealing the ceremony with a kiss, guests travel to the zoo for the reception. As guests enter, they are greeted by some of the animals such as an elephant, peacock, and flamingos. Inside the reception space, it is decorated with pink, white, and gold colors. The guest tables have a soft pink linen, gold chargers with pink napkins, gold candleholders, and a few small floral arrangements. The cake was a five tier white and gold cake with some intricate details. After a buffet dinner, the dessert table is set with array of desserts to choose from. At the end of the night there is a second line, and Courtney changes into a short white dress with silver beading on the top.TLC
  • Joy is ready to have a good time at her wedding.  Her wedding day is at a hotel and the ceremony inside. The ceremony space is all white with candles lining the aisle. After a jump over the broom, the couple is ready to party with their guests. The reception space features blue up-lighting, trees with hanging candles and peacock feathers.  After dinner, guests enjoy liquor filled cupcakes. The dance floor was high energy and everyone was packed on the dance floor. A second line joined in and the party continued.

A Hot Detail:  There was one detail from each wedding that stood out for me. I really loved Christian’s wedding gown. It was a lace with beading all throughout. This dress was made for her, and she looked gorgeous!  Okay, so this is a first, but I also loved Ashley’s wedding gown as well! Yep. What I absolutely loved about her gown was EVERYTHING! Her dress was a fitted satin mermaid trumpet style with feathers on the top. Totally stunning and simply beautiful. Perfect gown for this bride.    I actually loved the overall style and design at Courtney’s wedding. I loved the romantic feel of it all. All the details were simply gorgeous and elegant.   was a fitted A-line lace dress with a beautiful veil. It was perfect for her vintage style wedding.   What I thought was a “wow” factor at Joy’s wedding reception was the ice luge. The large ice luge had the signature drink flow right down into the guest’s glass. I thought this was super unique and fun for guests. A fun way to get your drink!

Who won?: Congrats to Courtney for winning!  She and her husband won an all expenses paid honeymoon to St. Martin.  I was not surprised at all about Courtney winning.  As soon as I saw her wedding, and all the gorgeous details, I knew she would win.  While I can not account for the food since I wasn’t actually there, all the other details – venue,  bride’s dress, and originality – were owned by Courtney’s wedding. I loved how it was so romantic and every single detail from the ceremony to the desserts, was absolutely lovely.  Those flowers and the gold and pinks, Swoon!  Every cent spent was worth it! Fantastic job Courtney!   So how did the other three brides score? Ashley came in second, Joy in third, and Christian in fourth.

TLC’s Four Weddings Episode Recap: June 13th

Did you tune into last night’s episode of  “Four Weddings” on TLC?  What are your thoughts of the four brides and their weddings? What details stood out for you? Was there one bride which had a total “wow” wedding day? If you missed it, we have a recap of the episode right here:

TLC

Who are the Brides?: 

  • Karen is ready to marry the love of her life and share that love with her two kids. Her wedding day starts with a evening ceremony set inside a banquet hall. The ceremony space is decorated with simple decor consisting of  many candles and flowers. Karen walked in wearing a mermaid wedding gown with beading all throughout.  The ceremony was personalized with the bride’s uncle officiating  personal vows were shared, and all included were Karen’s two boys.  After the kiss, the two love birds were handcuffed together as they exited the ceremony. Just adjacent to the ceremony location, the reception room was ready for the guests. The centerpieces featured vases with candles floating on top, a single rose, candles, and all on top of a square mirror.  After a buffet which consisted of sandwiches, the guests joined the couple and danced the night away.
  • Michelle a bride who is ready to dazzle her guests with purple colored details. Her ceremony is set at a church with purple details all throughout. The pews are decorated with purple bows, the alter is decorated with white and purple flowers, and greenery. The bridesmaids all wearing purple dresses with purple flowers tied with a silver ribbon. After a heartfelt ceremony, and jumping over the broom, guests enter into the reception space. The centerpieces were very simple, and the four tiered white cake had touches of bling. Michelle had a dress change, and her second dress was a V-necked short white dress with some sparkle. After the wedding festivities, the couple exited their wedding with a red sports car.
  • Megan is a bride who goes Southern with a vintage style at her wedding. Her wedding is set at an old plantation with the ceremony outside. The ceremony featured white chairs, a white alter with pink and white flowers, and a picket fence on the sides of the alter. The aisle was decorated with tin cans filled with baby’s breath hanging off the chairs. Megan’s brother walked her down the aisle and then joined her groom at the alter. During the vows, the groom’s daughter joined the couple.  After the “I Do’s”, the couple exit the ceremony and the guests go inside the plantation for cocktail hour. The reception took place under a white tent outside. The guest tables featured a simple centerpiece. Candles and baby breath flowers. The cake was four tiered cream colored with lace, and a flower arrangement on top.
  • Tamika is ready to “wow” her guests at her over the top bling wedding. The wedding took place at the famous Superdome where the New Orleans Saints play football.  Outside the Superdome, the ceremony took place with very minimal decor. A white aisle runner, crystal chandeliers down the aisle, and chairs with purple sashes.  After the exchange of the rings and the kiss, the ceremony is complete. The reception took place at the club close by.  Simple tables with rhinestone candles, white lounge furniture, and purple up lighting.  The cake table had a personalized crystal centerpiece and featured four cakes all decorated with bling and flowers. When the second line started, guests danced from the inside all the way to the outside.

A Hot Detail:  There was one detail from each wedding that stood out for me. What I thought was so super unique and personal at Karen’s wedding was the cake. Her four tiered cake complimented her wedding gown, with all the bling and other gorgeous details. I thought this made her cake very personalized and memorable.  What I absolutely loved at Michelle wedding was the second line featuring a brass band. There were purple umbrellas and lots of high energy! I thought it was something fun for guests to enjoy . Very memorable!   I adored Megan’s  bridal gown. It was a fitted A-line lace dress with a beautiful veil. It was perfect for her vintage style wedding.   At Tamika’wedding ceremony was her grand entrance. She came in with a white horse and carriage. It looked like Cinderella’s carriage.  A total “wow” factor, and perfect for a princess bride!

Who won?: Congrats to Megan for winning!  She and her husband won an all expenses paid honeymoon to Ancient Israel.  I was not surprised about Megan winning at all, she seemed to deserve it! As soon as I saw her wedding, I knew that she would win. I loved it! Her wedding did not compare to the rest. I loved it all!  While I can not account for the food since I wasn’t actually there, all the other details – venue,  bride’s dress, and originality – were owned by Megan’s wedding. I thought that every detail of her Southern vintage theme was absolutely perfect. Her flowers, the dress, the gorgeous venue, and that cake, was all amazing. Simply beautiful! Great job Megan!  So how did the other three brides score? Tamika came in second, Michelle in third, and Karen in fourth. Were you surprised by the results?  Love to hear from you, so please share!
