White Dress Jams

A bit ago we posted a few of many bridal related books. Today we are in the mood to follow with some nuptial tunes you should download when you have a minute to breathe (like that ever happens!)

Marry You- Bruno Mars

White Dress- Ben Rector

Question- Old 97's

Fly Me Away- Annie Little

Just You- Jessica Sonner

Think happy songs that you will want to:

-crank up while doing crunches because you ordered that sheath gown a size too small as motivation to hit the gym

-get your 12 bridesmaids in the mood with as you pour them a glass of white zin and present a diagram of how to put your DIY wedding favors together.  This is of course after they have tied bows on your 350 ceremony programs

-use as a stress reliever on the nights you shed a few tears of anxiety and most likely question why you didn't just elope months ago

-play for your guests at dinner.  play as your bridal dance.  play on the flight to your HONEYMOON where you can begin to enjoy you new life together...and finally breathe

Do you Pin?

Show of hands: who is logged on to Pinterest right now? I can practically see the virtual hands fill the air. As a bride-to-be, or a friend/mother/sister/stalker of someone who is, you probably have hundreds of shower, rehearsal dinner, bachelorette party, and most importantly WEDDING DAY ideas gathered on a pretty little nuptial board.  For those of you who aren't current "pinners," you need to be.  Many of our customers tell us that Pinterest has become one of their go to sources for wedding inspiration and planning.  Simply go to pinterest.com and request an invite. After you are accepted, you can create any themed pinspiration board you would like.  With your wedding board ready for some pin pricks, narrow your search to weddings and events and before you know it, you will be pinning instead of sleeping.  Either you will love us or hate us for this, but in any case I know you will be thanking us!  Enjoy...

The Magic Room

Becker's Bridal has been blessed with a very rare and exciting opportunity.  Jeffrey Zaslow, The New York Times bestselling journalist, has chosen to use our store for the basis of his upcoming book, The Magic Room. We have experienced the absolute pleasure of working with Jeffrey on a story that will showcase the legacy of Becker's and highlight the lives of some of our brides.  Keep your eyes out for familiar Becker's faces in media as well as picking up your very own copy (on bookshelves in January 2012)!
