PEOPLE confirms that Sopranos star James Gandolfini married former model Deborah Lin in Honolulu, Hawaii on Saturday, although his reps have not confirmed the news (no need to, since there’s a photo of it!)

Says a wedding guest:

“There was a nice big kiss at the end with both hands on the cheeks…They looked great.”

The couple was surrounded by white lilies and rhododendrons at the Central Union Church where the ceremony took place. Lin wore a white Italian lace gown and walked down the aisle to the “Hawaiian Wedding Song” played by a harpist in the background.

At the reception, the tables were adorned with white flowers and both Gandolfini and Lin wore long, green leis around their necks.

Congrats to them! I’m guessing the photos will then be sold to a magazine and we’ll be able to see it all. Isn’t it great to be a celebrity and basically get part of your wedding paid for…if not all of it? *sigh*

Courtney Gregoire, daughter of Gov. Chris Gregoire, and Scott Lindsay walk down the aisle lined with pink and orange rose petals in Olympia, Washington on August 9, 2008.

The wedding was held at Washington state’s century-old governor’s mansion.

Black is always a sharp wedding color when incoporated with white and is slowly becoming a very popular theme. In fact, Ashlee Simpson carried a bouquet and had centerpieces made of black roses. Well, mini calla lillies also come in a black variety called the Black Schwarzwalder. However, they are actually deep purple in color but look almost black when they are fresh. As they age, they lighten to a rich purple color. Click here to learn more.

I have to admit this is perhaps the most unique bridal bouquet I’ve ever come across. Pictured here is a bouquet of 300 beaded stems made of galvanized silver wire handwrapped with beading up top. The beads seen here are Celestial Crystals, though the seller says Swarovski crystals can be substituted. Interested? Click here to learn more. They also make matching boutonnieres.

Here’s a twist off a simple bouquet of red roses. This bouquet incorporates green twig dogwood throughout the otherwise classic bouquet.

There’s a vintage elegance to this bouquet that makes it really special. This ball-shaped pomander is entangled in a long pearl chain that forms a loop around the top so that you can easily hold it as you walk down the aisle.

Finally! I’ve been waiting for the new Ok! magazine to come out, as the mag paid an estimated £2.5 million for the photo rights. So here they are, all 26 pages…(this is gonna take up all my uploading space), but it’s worth it.

Location: La Cervara abbey in Portofino, Italy
Dress: McLoughlin wore a £100,000 Marchesa wedding gown.
Total Cost of the Wedding: £5 million
The rings: £1m rings
Side notes: Each guest was given a butterfly-engraved box containing a set of rosary beads.

Rooney, 22, said of the moment he saw his bride walk down the aisle: “It was weird when I first saw her, it’s such a big moment. I felt really choked actually and I thought she looked so stunning.”

McLoughlin added: “I was just nervous about whether Wayne would like my dress, but luckily he said I looked lovely.”

I saw this and thought I had to share it with you. Here’s a cute wedding centered on the theme of ribbons. The bouquet, wedding favors, flower girls basket..you name it, in very fresh colors - mustard yellow, orange, pink, and white. A lot of these items can be done on a budget with some help from your friends.

Click here to see my previous post regarding Tia Mowry’s wedding to Cory Hardrict.

Below are some new details from instyle regarding her bouquet & wedding cake.

The bride’s bouquet featured different shades of pink roses. Of her planner, Robyn Goldberg, Mowry says “she was unbelievable. She is very much like myself, which is extremely organized. She had every 15 minutes planned out! I kept on knocking on wood saying, ‘Okay, something’s gonna happen.’”

To match her pink rose bouquet, Mowry showcased a four-tiered vanilla and red velvet confection decorated with the blooms by Cake Divas.

Many brides opt to carry chic umbrellas when walking down the aisle for an outdoor wedding. I remember one episode of “Rich Bride Poor Bride” where the bride and bridesmaids all carried umbrellas instead of carrying bouquets (see image below). This is a more unique and cost-efficient way to add a bit of glam to your wedding..indeed.

Above is an eco-chic and transparent umbrella from Brelli that is 100% biodegradable. It comes in two sizes: 35″ or 52″ diameter. If you don’t want a colored umbrella that takes away from your wedding dress, this is a great option.

I’m a sucker for baby blue.

Hydrangeas make fantastic bouquets because they naturally grow in circular blooms. Here, the bride has paired blue hydrangeas w/ white sweet peas for a bridesmaid bouquet. The bridesmaids wore light blue strapless dresses.

If you’re a bride considering a dress that has a tint of blue, do consider this combination!

Below are some more examples of blue hydrangea bouquets with a hint of white.
