NY MAGAZINE WEDDINGS: Bridal Reflections NYC

So walking around I stopped at Bridal Reflections NYC to see what they had new and interesting. This black gown stopped me in my tracks. It was stunning. I just kept thinking if I would have the nerve to wear a black dress to my wedding. If I did have the nerve, it would be this one.

Tori & Dean sTORIbook Weddings Takes Over Oxygen

I totally love Tori and Dean. If you are going to put your whole life on television, make it real! You can not get more real than these two lovebirds. I love that they keep working it out no matter what. So I was so happy to hear that they have a new show called Tori & Dean sTORIbook Weddings, airing this Wednesday, April 6 from 10 p.m. – 11 p.m (EST/PST) on Oxygen.

Every episode, the two choose a couple who desperately need help and turn their so-so wedding into something fabulous. Tori works with the bride-to-be to help her make her dreams come true, no matter how crazy her ideas may be. While Dean helps the groom-to-be figure out exactly what he is supposed to be doing.

I got a chance to view the premiere episode and I loved it, of course. Tori and Dean meet Samantha and Steven who wanted to plan a wedding around their love for dogs. Quite naturally, a dog-inspired wedding makes so much sense as the pair who met online fell madly in "pug love." Tori and Dean spin the idea of “Pug Chic” décor into an amazing fun-filled event with a few surprises along the way.

Want to know more? I can't tell you anymore. You will just have to tune into Tori and Dean sTORIbook Weddings on Oxygen this Wednesday, April 6 at 10 p.m. (EST/PST) to find out what happens.
