This is such an easy way to amp up your cocktail hour: Have servers pass out drinks on trays lined with pretty paper. Our lifestyle director, Krissy Tiglias, made these for our live show the other day using wrapping paper! >See more genius wedding

Oh geez I love this idea: lay out sprinkles, cutesy cupcake toothpicks, edible flower candies, and let your friends pimp out your bridal shower cupcakes. Hey, it beats making wedding gift bow hats. Photos: Boutwell Studio ( CheninBoutwell.com ) > Get

You maybe/probably recognize the TOMS shoes brand name from the ATT commercial. If not, here's the deal -- for every purchased pair of TOMS shoes, a new pair of shoes is given to a child in need. Well, TOMS has a new line of wedding shoes (in off-white,

If my friend were to tell me she was going to have a headband, veil, and flower in her hair for her wedding, I would tell her that it sounds like too much for one hairstyle -- but I would be wrong. The combo is gorgeous! Photo: Erin Hearts Court ( http://www.erinheartscourt.com/blog

Kelly Ripa and hubby Mark Consuelos were blown away by a friend's wedding ("No one throws weddings better than they do in New Jersey !" says Kelly), so they decided to do a whole show about outrageous Jersey weddings, "Masters of Reception." Kelly's #1

I know -- when you think of a black-and-white wedding, you think ultra-modern. But here's proof that the color combo can go retro. You may see the dainty patterns on the "Just Married" sign in your grandmother's linen closet, and the filing cabinet escort

We're beyond the bridesmaids-wearing-the-same-dress-with-different-necklines idea here -- it's a full-on color palette of bridesmaid dresses. Everyone looks different, everyone looks gorgeous, and yet they all look like they belong with their best girl

Sooooo I just saw this morning that some bridal salon owner in Colorado has apparently skipped out and left 51 brides without wedding dresses before the wedding day. Crazy! I'm not saying that you can control whether the bridal salon closes and disappears

I gotta say, this idea strikes me as uber-personal. The couple had their wedding in a woodsy area at the Henry Miller Library in Big Sur, CA and served up home-brewed beer with customized labels (that's the couple's dog on the far left). Even better,

You really don't have to wear high heels. How about coordinating your shoes with his? He can wear his standard black Converse with a pair of colorful socks (in the wedding colors of course), and you can wear a coordinating pair. Cuteness! Photo: Jerry

I love love loved the bouquet featured on the Married on MySpace wedding. The bride, Elle, really didn't want a traditional bouquet, so when the MySpace community voted for her "rock and roll bouquet," (made by Jennifer Grace Designs in Los Angeles) she

Move over, candy bars -- a spice bar can really perk up your reception. Let guests add flavor to their cocktail hour food or, for favors, give each guest a bottle to fill up with their favorite spice. Joan and Jonathan did this at their spice-themed wedding
