There’s something refreshing about this combination and it all stems from the lovely green color of the cymbidium orchids in the bride’s hair. To avoid a very ‘green’ looking wedding, I chose a champagne colored bridesmaid dress pulled from the color of the table cloths and an invitation that incorporated the two colors beautifully. The signature drink is an impressive “Summer Solstace Sake Sparkler” that will be unexpected by the guests, but sure to be a pleaser.

Below are the instructions on how to make the signature drink:

Summer Solstace Sake Sparkler
1 fresh basil leaf, chopped
6 fresh mint leaves
2 lemon twists
2 orange wedges
1/4 English cucumber, seeded and diced, very cold
1 1/2 ounces orange flavored liqueur (recommended: Cointreau)
Ice cubes
250 ml bottle sparkling sake

Put the basil, mint, lemon, orange, cucumber, and orange liqueur in a cocktail shaker. Add the ice, cover, and shake vigorously, or stir, until combined and chilled, about 30 seconds. (In general, the drink is ready when the shaker mists up.) Pour into a chilled Collins glass and top with the sparkling sake. Drop in a pair of chopsticks to pick out the cucumber and oranges, if desired. Drink.

Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack married Simone Lambe, mother of his 3 children at a church ceremony at the Yachtclub Starneber in Germany 2 days ago. Check out that shiny suit! And check out those feathers! She does look gorgeous and her hair is perfect.

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.”

Star quarterback Eli Manning married his college sweetheart Abby McGrew in a low key ceremony in San Jose del Cabo today.

“Everything in their lives is so big, I think they wanted this wedding to be really small and elegant and intimate,” said Karen Kaforey, a Nashville wedding planner McGrew consulted for the big day.

The bride wore a beautiful strapless white gown with gold embroidery and a large bow in the back. McGrew carried a simple bouquet of white roses and walked under an altar covered in pink wildflowers.

The bridesmaids wore strapless, sweetheart necklined, champagne-colored Badgley Mischka gowns from b.Hughes (Kaforey’s boutique). The dresses were just below the knee and were paired with matching crystal chandelier earrings.

“The dresses with the earrings look absolutely gorgeous,” Kaforey said. “Very elegant.”

The couple had gift registries at Neiman Marcus and Williams-Sonoma.

LOVE LOVE LOVE her dress. There’s just something so elegant and timeless about lace (..ok a tad bit over excited about her dress because I’ve always wanted a lace wedding gown).

They’re not even that bad. I’ve seen much worse.

Wearing Lisa Ho, Kate Bosworth was bridesmaid at her friend Jacqui Louez`s recent wedding in Sydney Australia. The two met during Superman Returns when Jacqui was her personal assistant.

Check out her bridesmaid dress! Yay or nay?

Dark color bridesmaid dresses are a great idea because it allows bridesmaids to re-wear their dresses after the wedding. Plus, brides in white really stand out in wedding photos with the bridal party. I especially like the criss-crossed neckline on Kate`s dress. All in all, a very simple and classic dress.

I think it would be weird to have a celebrity at your wedding though. Can you imagine the staring and asking of autographs if Kate Bosworth was at your wedding?
