Shameless star Noel Fisher just recently wed actress Layla Alizada in an ultraromantic ceremony in their very own backyard. Now newlyweds, the couple just released the first photo of their big day—and it's gorgeous.
Fisher, best known for his role as Mickey Milkovich on the Showtime hit, first met Alizada on the set of the Canadian TV series Godiva back in 2005. After first spotting each other in the makeup trailer, the pair connected at the wrap party for the show, where they reportedly shared their very first kiss. Then, in the spring of 2014, Fisher finally popped the question. "Noel asked Layla to marry him when they were vacationing at the St. Regis in Bora Bora in mid-May," a source told Us Weekly at the time. "They're thrilled!"Also see: bridal dresses
Now that these two are officially wed, after a three-year engagement, we're sure they're even more so!
On July 15, Fisher and Alizada said their I do's in their Los Angeles backyard in front of 60 guests, according to People magazine. "We always wanted a wedding that was small and intimate," the couple told the entertainment mag. "It was a magical day and even more special having so much of it put together with the help of our loved ones."
For the big day, the bride donned a lacy Morilee wedding dress, which she showed off in her and her now-husband's wedding portrait. In the photo, Fisher and Alizada are seen sharing a smooch amongst woodland-inspired greenery, fairy string lights, and colorful blooms. Alizada adorned her curly locks with bits of baby's breath, and she looked totally smitten with her hubby, in his blue-hued Kenneth Cole suit.
After the ceremony, the newlyweds and their guests dined on a Mediterranean-inspired menu and sipped on Patricius Tokaj wine throughout the reception.
"[We’re] so grateful for the people in our lives and that everyone was able to share this day with us," said the couple.

Jessica Otto's dad, Peter Otto, has cancer for the fourth time. "He isn't doing well," Jessica Otto told ABC News, adding that he only has a month or two to live.
Michaela Cook-Yotts, who has known the Otto family since she was in second grade, said it was actually her now-wife, Nora Cook-Yotts, who had the idea to give Jessica and Peter their own father-daughter dance at their wedding. "When she met Mr. Otto, she fell in love with him," Cook-Yotts said.
Source: tea length wedding dresses
The couple presented the idea to Jessica Otto, who was "immediately down," said Cook-Yotts.
"Deep down, I knew it wasn't in the cards for us," Jessica said. "It was everything to me, I don’t think they will ever fully know [what] it meant to me."
Her dad, Jessica Otto said, is her best friend. "He would give you the shirt off his back, the kindest person most selfless I've ever met," she said. To know that he won't be dancing with her, or her sister, who is currently engaged, at their weddings, is painful, she added.
Jessica Otto and her dad have many shared interests, including biking, she said. They both participate in the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC), an annual bike-a-thon that benefits Dana-Farber, where Peter Otto is being treated, and goes through 46 Massachusetts towns over two days.
The duo rode together in 2014 and 2015. This year, Jessica Otto will ride on Aug. 5 and 6 alone, as her dad is not well enough to join her. The father-daughter team have fundraised around their efforts in the past, hoping that the money might somehow benefit Peter Otto.
Now, with the event coming up and her father in deteriorating health, Jessica Otto knows the money she raises won't help her family. "I used to go into this each year feeling really happy and positive," she said, "This year though, I have a lot of anger."
Still, she said, she hopes her fundraising will make a difference for someone else and she'll continue to do it as a tribute to her father. "As long as my body will let me ride, I'll ride," she said.
The missed moment of the upcoming PMC is one of the reasons memories like the one Cook-Yotts gave to the Otto family are so precious. The dance was a surprise for Peter Otto, Jessica Otto said.
"They called our names and had us come up there and he knew," she said. Peter Otto and his daughter's danced to a remix version of "Every Breath You Take." "It was so selfless of them to take time at their wedding to give us this moment."
"My dad is a man a of very few words, he doesn't express how he feels, he doesn’t say it but he shows it. He hugged us close to him," Jessica Otto said.
Cook-Yotts added, "It was the best part of the wedding and I know Nora would say the same thing. There wasn't a dry eye in the house."

https://chicstyle.citylife-new.com/e131839.htmlweddingWed, 12 Jul 2017 20:19:14 +0900How to Have a Low-Impact WeddingWe love weddings and everything that comes with them, but at the end of the day—after all of the dancing, eating, drinking, and happy tears—there’s a lot of stuff left over, stuff that often ends up in the trash. No one’s proud of it, but thankfully, there are ways to help lessen the effect your big day has on the world around you. We asked our experts for five tips to make your wedding a little more low-impact.
Shop Second-Hand
There are all sorts of ways to get what you want for your wedding without buying it brand new. There are a plethora of gently-used wedding dress sites, like OnceWed and Still White, where you can get the dress of your dreams (including designer finds like Vera Wang and Elie Saab) for a fraction of the price. Looking for items like votive candles or cloth napkins? Tradesy has an entire wedding page (that also includes menswear and bridesmaids’ dresses), and eBay just might have you covered.

Seek Recycled Materials
For the things you do need to purchase, look for those made from recycled materials. Paper Culture only uses recycled papers, and there are a huge number of artisan designers on Etsy doing the same.
Rent Instead of Buy
Of course, you’ll have the least impact by renting items instead of purchasing them at all. You know you can rent furniture, flatware, and tuxedos, but did you know you can also rent bridesmaid dresses (we love Vow to be Chic, and Rent the Runway is perfect for that on-trend mismatched look) and even your wedding dress? Again, the Rent the Runway collection is incredible for a non-traditional bride, and Borrowing Magnolia has designers like Pronovias and Hayley Paige.
Consider Vendors Carefully
If you’re really committed to a low-impact wedding, seek vendors who feel the same way. Look for vendors who give back, whether it’s donating flowers to local hospitals or donating their time to local charities. Find those who prioritize green practices, like using reusable water bottles in welcome bags. When you’re interviewing your vendors, don’t be afraid to ask! Most will be more than happy to tell you what they love to do to make the world a little brighter.
Register for Charitable Donations
Got everything you need at home? Instead of kitchen upgrades, ask your guests to donate what they might spend on a gift toward a cause you (or they!) love. You can also opt to skip those favors and instead put that money toward a bigger donation to your charity of choice.

https://chicstyle.citylife-new.com/e131547.htmlweddingMon, 03 Jul 2017 18:41:22 +0900An Elevated Backyard Wedding in GeorgiaSherita Starks and Dion Watkins go back—way back, actually. “Dion and I met in Mrs. Early’s fourth grade class in 1987,” Sherita says. “Dion was my first crush!” The two were friends for years and even dated briefly in college, but they finally made it official when Sherita moved to the West Coast to pursue her acting career. Seven years later, they found themselves back in Atlanta and bumped into one another at a local bar. Can you say “fate”?
After almost two (more) years together, Dion wanted to propose to Sherita, and knew just how to do it. “We were home to celebrate Dion’s grandmother’s 100th birthday,” she remembers. “We went for a walk together on the Beltline, and he proposed underneath a gorgeous tree.” The timing was especially fitting since the ring Dion slipped on Sherita’s finger belonged to her grandmother.
Related: http://www.sheindressau.com/pink-bridesmaid-dresses-au
With a love story that dates back to childhood, it was no surprise that Sherita and Dion chose the groom’s childhood home as the venue for their May 13, 2017 backyard party. “We wanted something simple and intimate, and Dion’s parents’ home was just the place,” Sherita explains. It also meant they could limit their guest list to 100 people, making sure their families and closest friends really felt the love.
Photographed by Kelly Anne Berry, this spring wedding outside of Atlanta will have you looking at your childhood backyard in a whole new light.
As soon as Sherita found her wedding dress, everything else fell into place. “I became obsessed with the designer [Rime Arodaky] and followed her closely on Instagram," she says. "That’s actually how I found our photographer!” The bodice featured a bateau neckline and cap sleeves, which lead to a plunging open back. But the best part? That veil!
Sherita added a rich pop of color with her bouquet, a combination of spirea, blush garden roses, burgundy ranunculus, hellebores, sweet pea, astilbe, and eucalyptus.
Sherita and Dion kept their wedding party small, each tapping a single friend to stand up front during the ceremony. They added a personal touch by inviting a group of friends to serve as their unofficial wedding party and asked them to walk down the aisle ahead of the maid of honor and best man. “We had them each wear boutonnieres so they would stand out,” Sherita says. And of course, they had the cutest flower girl and ring bearer, ever.
Dion rented a navy suit from The Black Tux and added a ranunculus boutonniere to his lapel. “We had all of our guests wear black and white, so Dion popped a little bit more in navy,” Sherita says.
You won’t believe it, but Sherita and Dion’s ceremony took place in the groom’s driveway! They set up a wooden mantle, flanked by candles in modern hurricanes and an array of midcentury furniture. “I wanted it to feel like a living room,” says the bride. “We had our families take a seat on the lounge furniture so they would be a part of the ceremony.” The mantle was topped with a garland of burgundy and blush dahlias, ranunculus, hellebores, and roses, finished with eucalyptus and other branches. Instead of a runner, the aisle was lined with oriental rugs.
Sherita walked down the aisle with her mother, but honored her late father when she selected her wedding date: his birthday!
“We wrote our own vows, but wanted to keep them to ourselves, so we exchanged notes with one another while we got ready that morning,” Sherita says. After the first kiss, guests showered the newlyweds with white rose petals. When the pastor asked Sherita if she took Dion as her husband, the bride said more than “I do.” “I looked at him and exclaimed ‘I sure will,’” she says, laughing.
"Our wedding was more than I ever could have imagined,” Sherita says. “At one point Dion looked at me and said, ‘Babe, let’s just look around and take all of this in.’ I’m so glad we paused to really absorb it.”
The reception took place around the pool, with a mix of high and low tables topped with burgundy centerpieces. The florist mixed dahlias, roses, ranunculus, and hellebores in burgundy, peach, blush, and cream, then scattered votive candles in metallic holders. Even the pool itself was decorated with floating flowers and candles.
The dance floor was buzzing as soon as the DJ got started. Sherita and Dion danced to “Spend a Life” by Jamiroquai and “Love Makes Things Happen” by Pebbles and Babyface for their first dances, and then invited their mothers to join them for “Before I Let Go” by Frankie Beverly and “My Girl” by The Temptations.
“The hit song of the night was definitely ‘Swag and Surf,’” says the bride. “The best man started rapping!”Also see: wedding dresses online

Social media star Pippa (33) and her business manager husband (37), who have sons Louis (14 months) and Ollie (4), married in 2011 in Co Wicklow and had a big celebrity bash in the Powerscourt Hotel.
They both posted throwback pictures of their wedding over the weekend, with Brian calling Pippa "the most amazing wife".
"You to me are everything," he wrote.
Images: mint green bridesmaid dresses
Blogger Pippa, who hit the town to celebrate on Saturday night, told the Diary that their time as a married couple has "flown by".
"We've packed a lot in between having the boys, starting a business. It's been a busy six years," she said.
The couple met through a mutual friend in Dublin's Krystle nightclub in 2008 and have become one of Ireland's best-known celebrity couples.
But Pippa admits that, like any other busy working mum, she needs time away from her family too sometimes.
Last week saw her flying to Ibiza for a few fun-filled days on the party island, but this time around with a different Brian.
She was joined by her best pal Brian Dowling and three other buddies as they hit some of the island's hottest spots.
However, Pippa revealed that there definitely wasn't any clubbing involved, as TV presenter Brian reckons they're too long in the tooth.
"It was so fun. It looked like we were absolutely mad, but we weren't doing the typical Ibiza thing, going to nightclubs," she said.
"Brian was like, 'Darling, we're too old for nightclubs!' So we were in amazing restaurants and nice bars and that was it.
"There were five of us, but it was the best fun. I feel like I need to go on a retreat afterwards."
Pippa also said she doesn't buy into any notion of "mummy guilt" about leaving her two boys, as it's good for her to have some quality time away from the house as well.
"I've never done more than three nights away from them in a row, but I think whether you get to go away on a break or go out to an event for the day with a friend, I think it's so important for everyone to take time out," she said.
"That's whether you're a working mum or a stay-at-home mum. I don't feel guilty because it's good for them and I think it's good for me.
"I know they're at home with their dad and they're being looked after.
"I think it stands to you when you're a mum to remember that you're not just a mum and you can go and do different things."

Many people may have seen the wedding party standing along Interstate 264 near the Witchduck Road exit on Saturday. That’s because the bus carrying the entire party — including the bride and groom — broke down.
“We’re about 37 seconds into the trip and all of girls are like, ‘Something is burning,’” Chelsie Schrum, the bride’s sister-in-law said.
Images: princess wedding dress
The wedding party had left the hotel, and was heading to the wedding venue when they started seeing smoke.
“The bus driver, she felt horrible. She was about to cry,” said Chris Schrum, the bride’s brother.
Off the bus and all smiles, what do the girls do? Take pictures, of course. Meanwhile, Chris Schrum got the dress.
“We’re on the side of the road for about a couple minutes, VDOT gets there, Trooper Don — we love him — he gets there and then Legacy came through like Johnny on the spot, got us a huge bus,” Chelsie Schrum said.
Trooper Don Thornton said he thought there was a serious issue when he saw the group.
“I just had finished up with another disabled vehicle and I saw their vehicle — the bus — at the emergency pull off with a wedding party that was standing outside of it with 12 to 15 people with gowns and tuxedos,” Virginia State Trooper Donald Thornton said.
Once the new ride arrived, they were off, with the help of Trooper Don.
“He turned his lights on so that we could scootch into traffic,” Chelsie Schrum said.
But the bumps in the road didn’t stop there. After the ceremony, there was another issue.
“We get in there, the power is out for two hours. They can’t make the food, the drinks are getting warm. The cake is melting,” Chelsie Schrum said.
Through it all, Chris and Chelsea Schrum said the couple, Casey and Scott, weren’t fazed.
“Nothing has bothered her. We’re like, ‘Casey, the bus is broken down.’ She’s like, ‘Fine.’ Then we’re like, ‘There’s no power’ and she’s like, ‘Fine. I’m still getting married,’” Chelsie Schrum said.
And that they did.
Chelsea and Chris thanked Trooper Thornton, VDOT and the bus company for helping them get to the ceremony.
“It’s an unfortunate incident that occurred but in the end it was, looking at the pictures, it seems to be a happy bride and a memorable moment for them and their future,” Trooper Thornton said.

Sidhika Gupta, Fashion Head, ROPOSO – a social media fashion platform, and Javed Khan, Creative Head, Be U Salons, share some easy to make hairstyles.
* Low bun: Tie the hair close to your nape in a ponytail, then roll your hair upwards in a bun and fix it with U-shaped hairpins. Fan the hair-bun evenly on both sides using your fingers tips.

* Hairband braid: For braiding, try skipping conditioning after shampoo. It might seem odd, but it makes a lot of difference in holding the braid better. Hairband braid is the sleekest way to keep your locks away from your face. Create tight braids with under each ear, wrap it across the edge of your hairline, and secure to back of the neck with bobby pins.
* Pixie: A pixie cut is a hairstyle generally short on the back and sides of the head and slightly longer on the top. You can accessorise this haircut with a headband.
* Double French twists: If you have thick hair make it a double with the double French twist; pump up the volume with a sock French twist; or take the easy route and do a messy French twist. Accessorise with fresh or silk flowers.
* Princess braids: A simple yet elegant way to make your hair look fresh. Just take a small front section on the right and braid back close to the head. Anchor the braid to your hair with a bobby pin and repeat on the opposite side. Accessories with hair pins to cover up the bobby pins.
* French braid: French braid hairstyles are timeless classics and they’re picture perfect for so many occasions. From classy affairs in the evening and weddings to relaxed days around town, French braids will accompany and complement your every outfit.See more at casual wedding dresses

https://chicstyle.citylife-new.com/e130683.htmlweddingTue, 06 Jun 2017 21:48:59 +0900How to get the best value on your wedding financeLast weekend’s wedding of the year saw Pippa Middleton marry James Matthews in a celebration that is estimated to have cost anywhere between £250,000 and £700,000, depending on which newspaper you read.
Even a relatively low-key wedding is far from cheap these days. The average cost of a wedding is £27,000, according to Bridebook, rising to £38,000 in London - and 4 per cent of weddings cost more than £100,000.
How are people funding these extravagant celebrations?
According to Moneysupermarket it is increasingly with a loan. The comparison website has recorded a 53 per cent increase in customers applying for wedding loans of more than £30,000 this year.
Related: http://www.sheindressau.com/beach-wedding-dresses-australia
Over 50,000 people have applied for a wedding loan since January, reports The Times, with 10 per cent requesting more than £20,000. That seems like madness when you consider that 247,372 weddings took place in 2014 and there were 111,169 divorces.
It means there is a reasonable chance you would still be paying for your wedding after you had divorced.
Thankfully, it seems most engaged couples are more sensible. The average wedding loan people apply for is £8,497 and some wedding costs are falling.
The average amount spent on a wedding dress has falling from £1,329 to £832, according to online fashion retailer Lyst. While an engagement ring is typically worth 19% less now than 10 years ago with an average value of £1,080, reports the BBC.
If you do need to borrow money for your wedding then make sure you shop around for the best deal.
M&S Bank offers the lowest-rate personal loan of 2.8 per cent for £10,000 over five years. But, think hard about whether you want to still be paying for your big day in five years time when you may have other demands on your income such as a mortgage or children.
If you don’t need to borrow that much then see if you can put elements of your wedding on a zero per cent credit card. That way you can spread the cost of your wedding for free. Sainsbury’s Bank has the longest zero per cent deal for new purchases, giving you 31 months to clear the debt.
Finally, if you are planning to spend a large sum on your wedding day make sure you are insured. Wedding insurance has become big business in recent years and it is certainly worthwhile if you are spending thousands of pounds.
“Venue cancellation and supplier failure are the main things to consider when buying wedding insurance,” says Ben Wilson of Go Compare, in The Times.
“This ensures that you’re protected should the venue cancel your wedding, or if one of your pre-booked suppliers, a caterer for example, is unable to fulfil your order. To make a claim, you’ll need to have a written agreement or contract with the supplier.”
Just be aware that wedding insurance won’t pay out if your wedding doesn’t go ahead because one of you gets cold feet.Also see: mermaid wedding dress

According to royal insiders, every detail of their ceremony and reception was choreographed to a T -- and that, not surprisingly, included the seating chart. However, instead of seating couples next to one another, as is customary, Pippa and James had everyone spread out. And this of course means that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry sat separately at the reception. That's a little awkward for Meghan, no?
Images: purple bridesmaid dresses australia
Sources told the Telegraph that Pippa arranged the seating chart for the reception so that every couple sat apart. Apparently, separating couples at formal events, weddings in particular, is an age-old rule people once followed, but it's not usually implemented at modern events. Pippa and James are one of the exceptions, obviously.
On the one hand, it's a nice notion to separate couples, as it forces everyone to mix and mingle with people they otherwise wouldn't. But it may be better served for more intimate events, like dinner parties. There probably were many people there -- like Meghan -- who really only knew the person they came with.
Of course, it's doubtful that this was sprung on Harry and Meghan when they walked into the reception, so surely they were prepared. But still. Definitely makes things slightly awkward -- especially when Meghan was thee wedding guest everyone has been talking about.

The bride wore a white dress by designer Mori Lee which had a lace bodice with a cap sleeve. There was a satin waist band with beaded appliqués, a full tulle skirt that ended in a scalloped lace border and chapel train. She carried a daisy nosegay. The groom wore a silver gray tux with a white shirt and ivory tie and vest.
The seven bridesmaids wore varying styles of dresses, all being dark purple while the maid of honor wore a spring green dress. All of the bridesmaids carried nosegays of fresh daisies. The best man and the seven groomsmen wore silver gray suites with a variety of spring green and purple shirts, ties and vests.
The bride was given in marriage by her father, who wore a silver gray suit with a spring green shirt, tie and vest.
The wedding party, family and friends were entertained at a rehearsal dinner hosted by the grooms parents. The dinner included homemade pork BBQ prepared by the groom’s stepfather and a groom’s cake designed by the groom’s mother that was highlighted with chocolate trumpets echoing the trumpets the couple played in the Campbell University band, where they met.
A reception following the wedding was hosted by the bride’s parents and was held at the Chicora Golf Club in Dunn. There was a buffet dinner with BBQ chicken and pork and long-neck Nehi drinks from Jefferson as a sentimental request of the bride.
The groom’s grandfather, George Bissette, designed and created the wedding cake which was highlighted with purple heather flowers.
After a honeymoon to Disney, the couple will be completing their work contracts with Harnett County School System and Rite Aid.

Stephanie - who was recently promoted to Chief Operating Officer of Kardashian West Brands, after previously serving as Kim's assistant - has revealed she missed brunette beauty's marriage to rap star Kanye West in Florence, Italy, in May 2014 because she was trying to capture footage for 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians'.
Recalling her own memories of the romantic occasion, she shared: "I didn't even get to watch the ceremony because I was also filming - I often producer-cam the more personal moments for the show, when they don't want full-on cameras around - so I was filming everyone getting ready.

"And then Caitlyn lost her suit, so I had to locate it; all the girls are getting ready, we're getting Kim together, we're in this castle; Kanye is down rearranging the floral arrangements and all this stuff, all while I'm trying to film."
Kim currently employs a personal assistant, a house assistant and two nannies, but when Stephanie started working for the reality TV star back in 2013, she was her only full-time member of staff.
Stephanie has admitted to being rushed off her feet trying to arrange Kim's jet-set lifestyle - especially after the arrival of Kim's daughter North in June 2013.
She told Refinery29: "I was doing her whole schedule, doing her laundry, booking travel, putting the stroller together and all of these things. But I wasn't nervous. I was just excited, always staying longer than I needed because I was trying to prove myself - and then North came early!
"I was a brand new assistant who had no idea what to do with a baby, but we all moved into Kris' house, and she was the one who made it all feel OK and moved mountains for us."

https://chicstyle.citylife-new.com/e129879.htmlweddingMon, 15 May 2017 16:29:39 +0900SELENA GOMEZSelena Gomez simply can’t get enough of her boyfriend, The Weeknd.
According to reports, while many may have assumed that Selena Gomez’s relationship with The Weeknd was just an opportunity to boost her Hollywood reputation, just in time for the release of her new music, sources say that this romance is, in fact, the real deal.
Hollywood Life notes that things are definitely turning serious between the two. They have exited the dating stage and are fully committed to being together for as long as possible. As of right now, Selena Gomez can’t stand being away from her beau for more than a week.
Images: blue bridesmaid dresses
When the “Starboy” singer is on tour, Selena Gomez reportedly finds it hard not to follow her man along, but due to her work commitments to finish recording her forthcoming album in Los Angeles, she has often found herself being stuck in sunny California, having to wait for weeks to see The Weeknd again.
Sources reveal that Selena Gomez more or less knows at this given point that she doesn’t want to spend her life with anybody else but the 27-year-old, stressing that she shares a bond with him that she hasn’t shared with any of the men she’s dated in the past.
As one insider puts it, the more Selena Gomez learns about her beau, the more in love she falls with him. They can talk for hours and Selena will never find herself uninterested in the conversation — she’s totally obsessed with everything about The Weeknd, and that’s enough to assure her that he’s the one.
“It’s getting better and better between Selena and Abe each and every day,” the insider explains. “As they learn more about each other their bond and love grows, Selena says she has to pinch herself sometimes, to check that she’s not dreaming!”
Abe loves absolutely everything about Selena — her beauty, talent, intelligence, her body — but he says his two favorite things about Selena are her smile, which makes him weak at the knees, and her heart. He loves how caring and sweet she is, and how generous and kind she is to her fans, friends, and family.”The Weeknd’s family has embraced Selena Gomez with open arms, with sources claiming that everybody around the couple is really happy for them. They make a great pairing and have proven to their family members that they are not only committed to one another but strongly believe their romance will last for a very long time.
It was just two months back when it was rumored that Selena Gomez had been telling pals she was certain that she’d eventually walk down the aisle and marry The Weeknd. Though she had never said when she would like for it to happen, spending the rest of her life and settling down with the man that’s changed her entire life is definitely a plan for Selena Gomez.
Selena Gomez and the “I Feel It Coming” artist started seeing each other back in December, according to reports, which was just weeks after the former Disney Channel star had checked out of rehab after successfully completing her intensive program, Us Weekly reports.
Selena reportedly credits The Weeknd for helping her stay on the right path and accepting her flaws.
Again, Selena Gomez has never addressed rumors concerning alleged plans that she will marry The Weeknd — fans will have to wait and see whether the singer will talk about the subject matter in due time.
Do you think Selena Gomez and her beau will end up tying the knot?

https://chicstyle.citylife-new.com/e129760.htmlweddingThu, 11 May 2017 15:52:49 +0900A wedding giveaway with a military twistWhen she was 12 years old, Wanda Jones Cooper, now 66, sat on her Granny Jones' front porch in rural Marion County and studied a pine-covered hill at the back of the family farm.
"I want that hill," Wanda told her grandmother, gesturing at the rise in the distance.
"Baby, a rabbit can't even get through over there," her grandmother said, pointing out the thick underbrush.
"I know," Wanda said. "But I want it anyway. It looks kind of like a Christmas present that hasn't been opened yet."
Now, 54 years later, Cooper lives in a brick
house on top of the hill that looks down at the old farmhouse below.
Related: blue bridesmaid dresses
"I've always known where home was," she said wistfully this week, gazing out over the fields where she used to ride a tractor with her grandfather.
In the fullness of time, little Wanda grew up, built the house on the hill and raised a family on what has become known as the Old Jones Farm, which has been in her family since 1898.
The property is located about 30 miles from Chattanooga near Jasper, Tenn. The tall pines on Wanda's hill were significantly thinned in 2011 by a tornado that also ripped the roof off the barn and scattered the horses.
In 2014, Cooper had a vision. She dabbled in making wedding cakes, but found herself loading up her Lincoln SUV to deliver them to far-flung wedding locations such as Valley Head, Ala., and Beersheba Springs, Tenn. Often, the weddings were for young couples who actually live near her home in Marion County.
Cooper thought: Why not convert the family farm into a wedding venue so these people could stay home? More and more couples were skipping traditional church weddings for rustic outdoor locations.
Soon, Cooper remodeled and decorated the barn into a dressing area, kitchen and dance floor. She relocated her horses and built a hillside amphitheater that seats 350. Three years into the project, she is hosting about 30 paid weddings a year.
Last spring, she decided, in a nod to patriotism, to give away a wedding to a deserving military couple. When word spread on Facebook, people in the area stepped forward to donate money, labor and merchandise to the cause.
"The military is my soft spot," Cooper explains. "The whole community volunteered. We had a photographer, a caterer and a hairdresser."
The group chose a Navy couple with kids who wanted to renew their vows after 14 years of marriage.
Brandy Ledesma, a native of Jasper, says she and her husband, Danny, have both seen active duty in the military, and that coming to her hometown to renew their vows was special.
"It meant a lot," she said. "Everyone was so kind and welcoming. And, even though I had just met Wanda, it seemed like I had known her forever."
Later, at the suggestion of Cooper's daughter, the volunteer group decided to widen the circle of winning couples and ended up performing five weddings in two days.
This year, Cooper says she plans to scale back to one wedding. But it will be an excellent affair with a color guard and a uniformed veteran leading the pledge to the flag.
In just one year, Cooper has already banked a bushel of memories.
Thinking back on last summer, she remembers Ledesma jumping up and down and screaming when she found out she'd won.
Another bride trembled and wept with joy when Cooper found her a second-hand wedding dress. Then, there was the wounded male veteran who hugged her tightly and whispered, "You'll never know what this means to us."
Cooper gets a little misty herself telling these stories.
"This is my heart," she says, gesturing around the farm.
If that 12-year-old girl in 1962 could have seen what would eventually happen on her distant hilltop, she would have been pleased.
Consider the "Christmas present" opened.

The flowers, the planning, dress shopping and making wedding decorations – it can feel like a full-time job! There are so many things that can happen in the run up to the big day, that any bride will need a right-hand gal to help keep things running smoothly.
Recently crowned Nation’s Favourite Bridesmaid (voted by Red7 readers), we asked 26-year-old Jessica Greener, to tell us exactly what it takes to rule the roost when it comes to being an amazing chief hen.
Personalise the party
Make every event personalised to the bride. It’s so important to plan a hen party that reflects the personality of your friend getting married. My friend Lauren wanted your typical hen do – with all of the cheesy whistles and sashes. On the other hand, Nicole loved that we planned a festival-themed celebration to mirror where she met her husband to be!

Budget, budget, budget!
The biggest challenge when planning a hen party is the financial element. The party has to be special for the bride, but equally you never want to out price it for the rest of the hen group. Set the budget out clearly and save money where possible. The girls always take the mick out of me for the spreadsheets that I manage hen parties from!
Jump straight in
The beginning stages of all wedding plans are super fun and exciting. This is when you and your bestie can pour over wedding magazines, discuss theme colours and the finer details of how her dream day should go. Lend a helping hand where you can – your mate will thank you for it!
Get crafty!
Pinterest is like a bridal bible when it comes to discovering cute centre pieces, bunting and creative name settings. Cut back on costs by making things yourself. I once made a photo booth for a hen party from a decorated cardboard box – looked great and saved the hens loads of cash!
Honesty is the best policy
For most brides, the dress is the all-important element of the wedding (apart from the ‘I do’ bit!), so it’s got to be perfect. It’s your duty as a bridesmaid to be completely honest when it comes to the style of the dress. If the shape or material isn’t working for the bride, tell her. The perfect dress is out there, you just have to find it together.
Be there for her
Planning a wedding can be stressful. There is so much to organise that sometimes your best friend might just need to have a proper heart-to-heart. Whatever she needs, be that support. She might just need a chin-wag over a cuppa!
Stay cool, calm and collected
I’m a self-proclaimed ‘bridesmaidzilla’, but it’s important to keep your cool throughout the planning process, especially on the big day itself. Whatever happens in the run up to the wedding, protect the bride from any unnecessary stresses.
Come prepared
Wardrobe malfunctions happen. Full Stop. Hopefully not with THE dress, but you never know. Bring a needle and white thread just in case! You don’t want to have to scramble for a sewing kit at a local supermarket whilst wearing your full wedding attire…
Top up the Prosecco
Every bride gets the jitters - it’s perfectly natural. On the morning of the wedding, keep the champers topped up. It will go down a treat to sooth any pre-wedding nerves and will help the wedding party feel relaxed and excited before the harps begin to play. Just don’t go overboard.
Enjoy it!
How many opportunities do you get to celebrate such a lovely day with your best friend!? Enjoy the ride. Yes, there will be lots to do, but there’s so much to look forward to as you help plan your best friend’s beautiful day.

https://chicstyle.citylife-new.com/e129335.htmlweddingSat, 29 Apr 2017 16:24:37 +0900Wedding and crawfish season in full swingWhat a crazy couple of days it has been. I’m back to partying like I’m 21 years old, and let’s just say I might be able to party like that but the next day it isn’t a quick rebound like it used to be! Everything is swollen and hurts. This past weekend I somehow managed to stay out until 4 a.m., then decided I should have Sunday Funday and drink all day. Let’s just say those two make for a bad Monday.
But no worries, guys, I got it together enough to put together this week’s gossip! Enjoy!
Crawfish coma
Now that Lent has ended, crawfish season is in full swing! Once again, the Exploreum’s Junior Advisory Board hosted its annual Crawfish in the Courtyard last week. The weather was beautiful, the crawfish were delish and the beer was cold! Each year the board hosts the all-you-can-eat crawfish event to raise money for the Discover Science Program, and every year it is a hit!
My spy said this year’s event ran a lot more smoothly than last year’s, with crawfish pre-bagged and ready to be eaten — and they were! One thousand pounds of crawfish were consumed and everyone was talking about how good they were! The crawfish were so good that Sean Sullivan of FM Talk consumed more than 70 crawfish in three minutes’ time, winning the crawfish eating contest once again and, of course, bragging rights!Related: green bridesmaid dresses
WKSJ’s Shelby Mitchell didn’t do quite as well in the crawfish eating contest as she was only able to finish a few in the given time. My spy said she did seem to finally get the hang of it though. Practice makes perfect, Shelby! Perhaps she can make a comeback next year.
I was also informed people were wearing gloves while eating crawfish. And the gloves were not provided, so this means multiple people brought their own gloves to wear while eating crawfish. Maybe I am the strange one, but I have never eaten crawfish with gloves on. Though there might be something to it, as no one wants gross stinky hands! But still.
Food for the stars
I don’t know what it is about celebrities and the Royal Scam, but there must be some secret website or code they all speak so that when they’re in Mobile they know to visit the Royal Street eaterie! Once again another celebrity ordered up from the Royal Scam. This one didn’t get carded like Haley Joel Osment did, but he did have a special request.
Last Wednesday night Bob Weir of Grateful Dead fame played at the Saenger and Boozie hears it was an awesome show! Before the show he requested a meal from the Royal Scam, and while it was on the lighter side it sounded delish! My spy said he requested salmon poke, pickled cucumbers, pickled ginger and a side of Sriracha. Move over, tuna martini, we want the salmon poke like Bob! We hear Mr. Weir was very “grateful” that the Scam could accommodate his special request.
What a wedding
It’s wedding season! This past Saturday night there was a wedding at almost every event venue Mobile has to offer. With so many weddings going on, one of Boozie’s spies said she got confused about which wedding was which, and ran out on the dance floor ready to party when she realized she didn’t know anyone and was at the wrong wedding! The one she was supposed to be attending was a block over. Oops!
The wedding everyone’s talking about was at the Bragg-Mitchell Mansion. Boozie had multiple people tell her they drove by a few times looking. I was told people even put on their hazard lights so they could slow down and get a better look! And no wonder they wanted to get a better look, everything was beautiful! The Bragg-Mitchell’s lawn was spaced with tents and lights cascading down from the trees. Apparently it looked like a picture from a magazine.
Boozie had a spy in attendance who said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been invited to. They also mentioned the food was amazing and the drinks flowed like rivers! Her favorite part was ending the night with Chrissy’s (aka adult) milkshakes, Dew Drop hot dogs and beignets! Umm yumm!
Sh*t happens
My Flora-Bama spy was back at it again this weekend but this time with some stinky news. While in the ladies room, she began to smell something very foul… Once out of the stall she noticed a lady skipping the line because she’d had an accident! Not just a little tee tee accident but a messy one. I’ll keep it as clean as possible but think poop down to her shoes. Yikes.
I feel anyone in that situation would run down to the gift shop, buy some clothes and get the heck out of there! But not this lady. Instead she ran down to the dance floor and resumed her partying. Can’t stop, won’t stop!
Well, kids, that’s all I’ve got this week. Just remember, whether rain or shine, dramatic or scandalous, or just some plain ol’ crawfish lovin’, I will be there. Ciao!

https://chicstyle.citylife-new.com/e129272.htmlweddingThu, 27 Apr 2017 15:57:01 +0900Binky Felstead is truly radiant in boho white mini dressShe is fast approaching the birth of her first child with boyfriend Josh 'JP' Patterson.
And Binky Felstead gathered her friends and family together on Sunday as she hosted a baby shower in London, to celebrate her exciting news.
The Made In Chelsea star, 26, looked every inch the glowing mother-to-be in a chic white lace mini dress, which skimmed her ever-growing bump, as she cosied up to her on/off beau, 27, inside the bash.
The brunette, who announced she was expecting her first child four months ago, looked truly radiant as she headed into the party with her nearest and dearest.
Proving her style has not faltered in pregnancy, Binky opted for a soft white mini dress, which was both sophisticated and sexy with its low plunging neckline, fastened with small white buttons.
Falling into a chic lace bodice and sleeves, the frock then maintained its boho style by cascading into a soft linen skirt, which skimmed her blossoming stomach.
Cutting off high at her thigh, the E4 star then left her svelte legs on show - which she lengthened further with a classy pair of nude court shoes.
Tying her outfit together with a quilted shoulder bag and oversized cat-eye sunglasses, the beauty looked effortlessly glamorous as she embarked on the undoubtedly emotional day with her nearest and dearest.

First posing for photos against a wall of stunning white roses, Binky spent the rest of her afternoon happily greeting her guests - who showered her with gifts for her new arrival.
After accepting an array of adorable baby clothes and toys for the tot, who she announced was a girl last month, the brunette was then seen cuddling up to boyfriend JP in a tender moment at the exciting event.
Clad in a simple grey T-shirt and black jeans, the hunk kept all eyes on the mother-to-be as he pulled her in for a sweet embrace, caressing her bump as he did so.
The pair had already hosted a smaller-scale baby shower on Made In Chelsea last month, in order to announce the sex of their tot to their co-stars.
Binky announced she was pregnant in January - causing a stir among fans, as she was not officially dating JP, the baby's father, at the time.
However, the pair have since admitted that the exciting news has only brought them closer, and they are now looking forward to the next chapter of their journey together.
Binky told MailOnline last month: 'We are beyond the boyfriend and girlfriend thing.'
'A lot of people automatically thought that the baby could be a bad thing for our relationship, and that if we got together again it was just for the baby.
'But we have always loved each other. The love was never gone.'
Addressing their messy split which played out on the previous series of the E4 show, she continued: 'When we broke up last year, it was only a couple of weeks before we found out about me being pregnant. And for me, those two weeks showed me that I’ve always missed him.'
The happy couple were joined for their celebrations by a number of their close friends, and familiar faces from the show.
First leading the glamour was Louise Thompson, who embraced the gloriously sunny weather in a thigh-skimming summer dress.
The brunette, 27, showed off her enviably tanned and toned legs in the soft white mini dress, patterned with vibrant yellow lemons all over.
Giving her feminine look a grungier edge however, she teamed the frock with an oversized denim jacket - which was embroidered with sporty team logos and cartoon stars across the front.
She added height to her petite frame with sky-high raffia wedges of blue and grey, and accessorised with a bold leopard print rucksack in a chic finishing touch.
Adding a plethora of tribal jewellery and retro rectangular sunglasses, the fitness fanatic oozed glamour as she headed in to support her close friend Binky - who she has known since filming the very first season of Made In Chelsea back in 2011.
Louise arrived at the bash alongside sister duo Lucy and Tiffany Watson, who mirrored Binky's style by opting for boho-inspired ensembles.
Lucy, who left the London-based reality show in September, showed off her famously slender figure in a black and white paisley mini skirt, paired with a pussy bow blouse.
Keeping co-oridnated throughout, she layered a thin black duster coat on top and accessorised with black sandals, adorned with flowers across the toe.
Meanwhile her blonde sibling, 23, slipped her slim frame into a white lace mini dress, which she layered beneath a quirky suede biker jacket of summery beige.
Arriving not long after was Stephanie Pratt, who certainly turned heads as she went braless in a metallic gold maxi dress.
The LA native gave a saucy flash of her cleavage in the ruched dress, which plunged into a daringly low halter neckline.
Cinching in at her petite waist with a straw belt, the high-shine number then fell into soft pleats all the way to the floor - which blew behind her as she headed inside.
The blonde kept her standout look casual with silver trainers and a bright red bag, for a splash of colour, as she arrived at the lavish bash laden with gifts for her friend.
Georgia Toffolo also made a glamorous arrival in a eye-wateringly short chiffon dress, patterned with pretty white butterflies.
Remaining demure with a high round neck and long sleeves, the frock then upped the sex appeal by cinching in at her middle, to emphasise her slim figure, before cutting off high at her thigh to flash her leggy figure to all.
Leaving her hair in her trademark bouncy waves and adding minimal make-up, the blonde, who goes by 'Toff' on the show, proved her natural beauty as she arrived to celebrate with Binky.
Fashionista Rosie Fortescue rounded up the pack in an on-trend gingham midi dress, and matching wedge heels - which she jazzed up with a handbag on a playful chain, adorned with colourful pom poms.Related: blue bridesmaid dresses

https://chicstyle.citylife-new.com/e129116.htmlweddingMon, 24 Apr 2017 18:27:27 +0900What's your favourite bridal updoBrides know how important it is to look and feel their best on their wedding day, with hours of deliberations put into which dress, shoes and accessories should be worn to walk down the aisle. But aside from that, hair and make-up can either make or break a wedding look. We asked three of the U.K.'s top hairdressers for their tips on how to achieve the perfect updo for a blushing bride.
The chignon
A classic, and for good reason, the chignon is celebrity hairdresser and owner of Andrew Collinge Hairdressing, Andrew Collinge's favourite bridal look. To get the look, Andrew advises starting with an application of CO by Andrew Collinge Hair Moisturiser to towel-dried hair, with the leave-in product prepping locks perfectly for styling the classic 'do. "First blow dry the hair for a smooth sleek finish," Andrew tells Cover Media. "To create the style, work a little CO by Andrew Collinge Definer throughout the hair, and then take all the hair in to one section and brush it in to a ponytail at the nape of the neck and secure with a band. Turn the ends of the hair back towards the band and grip into place."

Spritz CO by Andrew Collinge Firm Hold Hairspray all over the look to complete and voila, a look that will last all day and leave you feeling glamorous and elegant.
The tousled side ponytail
Ross Charles, owner of Ross Charles Hairdressing, prefers something slightly more modern, and cites the tousled side pony as his favourite wedding day look.
"The key to this look is preparation and getting curls perfect before fixing the hair into the ponytail," he told Cover Media. "To start, section the hair into pieces around an inch wide and wrap them around the curling iron. To achieve the tousled affect make sure to keep the hair slightly far apart when wrapping around the iron, if the hair is close together when curling, the curls will be much tighter." Mist each curl with hairspray as you go, and once a section has been curled, run your fingers through the hair to loosen the curls and add texture. Then it's time to create the ponytail. "Part the hair to one side using the fine end of a comb and use your fingers to direct the hair into a low ponytail behind the ear with your fingers," he explained. "To keep this look messy, don't be too careful when fixing the hair into place.
The bun
A bun is the bridal look of choice for Karen Thomson, Owner of KAM Hair and Body Spa in Lossiemouth, who tells Cover Media: "Gone are the days of the delicate and neat ballerina bun, as messy, effortless looking buns have taken over! This hairstyle is great for brides as it showcases facial features and is perfect with a dress that has a lot of detail on the back that you want to show off."
Karen also has some tips on how to ensure you choose the right style for your big day. "When it comes to choosing the right style for the bride, the best way to do this is by having the bride into the salon the same day they have a dress fitting," she smiles. "It's also beneficial that the bride has their make-up trial this day too, as it gives them a chance to see the overall look with the wedding dress."
