Celeb-trimony!

We're deep into the start of the 2009 wedding season and it's nice to see celebrities joining in the fun.

Actress Salma Hayek married her husband, François-Henri Pinault, for the second time on April 25th, amidst A-list movie/music/fashion stars (including Charlize Theron, Penelope Cruz, Bono, Stella McCartney and former French president Jacques Chirac) in Venice. The $3.5 million dollar wedding took place at the Teatro La Fenice opera house, where Salma dazzled everyone in a Balenciaga wedding gown by Nicholas Ghesquiere. What I liked best about this affair was the strict dress code: Black tie plus Venetian masks! 
Here are a few snapshots, thanks to the paparazzi (who happened to be ever-present, in boats, during the wedding...as the last picture depicts below).

Reality show stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt of "The Hills" just recently married in Pasadena, California too.  Some continue to question the validity of this marriage, but one thing no one can deny is the bride's ensemble, including a Monique Lhullier wedding gown and $1.2 million worth of diamonds, was AMAZING!  She was traditional and trendy at the same time, which I loved.  Overall, Heidi and Spencer made an exquisitely handsome bride and groom.

Last but not least, the moment thousands of Grey's Anatomy fans have been waiting for is almost here... the wedding of Meredith Grey and Derek Shepard.  Grey's Anatomy's 100th episode, "What a Difference a Day Makes," featuring these two characters finally tying-the-knot airs Thursday, May 7th at 9 pm on ABC.  And like any savvy and modern couple, there's a wedding website on TheKnot.com to help keep all the details in line.

scam (skām): A fraudulent business scheme

Y esterday, I received my first wedding scam attempt (guess my latest marketing and advertising efforts are starting to work). I received an email from an "Irish" bride-to-be whose fiance was offered a job in the U.S. and needed help planning a small wedding in New Jersey. I vaguely remembered hearing of certain swindle attempts on wedding vendors (especially photographers and videographers), so my radar peaked immediately, however, I didn't jump to any conclusions right away. I responded to the email, drew up a preliminary proposal, quoted cost of service and submitted an invoice for payment. Nonetheless, when it became apparent that the bride-to-be and her French fiance only intended on mailing a cashier's check, I knew right away what I was dealing with ... a scam! I happen to know that international cashier's checks are not fully validated for 90 days. So even though the check may clear at first, if found to be phony, the money is later deducted. I must say, i

"Farm Sweet Farm" 1st Birthday Party

My husband and I celebrated our baby twins, Jonah & Gia's, 1st birthday with a "Farm Sweet Farm" party last weekend.  The party was held at our home (aka The Anderson Farm ) and our closest family and friends excitedly attended.  Honestly it's still difficult for us to believe a full year has gone by since they entered our lives, but one thing was clear from the beginning --- we had a lot to celebrate and we intended to do just that! Everyone had loads of fun; they would've partied until the cows came home if we let them.  And since the guests of honor LOVE animals, the theme proved to be absolutely perfect for them and their guests.  To most, I'm known for planning amazing weddings and bridal celebrations by means of THE BRIDAL PARTY , so it was really a lot of fun to step outside of my comfort zone and show off my versatility and range.  I can't deny, this was FUN!  I'm still quite "giddy" about it all. * * * * * * * * * * INVITA

Surprisingly I'm not ashamed to admit how much I adore shopping at HomeGoods (known for being packed with an ever-changing array of one-of-a-kind, and unexpectedly incredible finds from all over the world).
