Actors Adam Devine and Chloe Bridges have recently become engaged after four years of dating. The comedy actor popped the question in secret whilst the couple were on a boat cruise.
He then took to Instagram to announce the news, writing, “She said yes! Well actually she said ‘ahh Adam’ and then kissed me but I’m pretty sure that means YES! I love Chloe more than anything and I’m so excited to spend the rest of my life with her amazing self. You are my best friend and I’m thrilled you want to get old and wrinkly with me! You’ll be less wrinkly. I’m gonna look like a Saint Bernard. I proposed this past weekend and wanted to keep it private for a few days but we are now ready to tell the world! Love you @chloebridges! Have fun planning the wedding. I’ll be there for the cake tasting. ?”

Fans know Devine for Workaholics, the Comedy Central show he both co-wrote and starred in. He went on to act as Bumper in the popular Pitch Perfect franchise. Former Pretty Little Liars actor Chloe Bridges is currently featuring in Netflix’s Insatiable.
In an Instagram post, Bridges wrote, “We are doing it!! I love this man with my whole heart and I am so excited to be with him forever. I’ve known we had a special connection since we first met (well FIRST I liked the way his butt looked in his jeans and the way he made me laugh and the fact that his backpack was monogrammed which seemed VERY adult to me five years ago) and I quickly learned that he is the kindest, funniest, most incredible man I’ve ever met. I’m so proud to be his girl and will be even prouder to be his wife. Let’s do this baby @andybovine.”

There’s something about the official wedding kiss. Everyone holds their breath and witnesses an otherwise personal gesture with great anticipation. It just absolutely brings it all together. Like…
Food itself can be artwork and oh-so-pretty. Let’s not kid each other, we’re all here for the dessert. And you know there will be pictures taken, so you want them to look gorgeous! We found some super creative desserts to give you ideas. Even if you’re not a sweet tooth, you’ll love this eye candy.
Cookies
Ah, yes. An old-time favourite, and the perfect canvas. You can go crazy with different shapes and designs, or keep it simple with all of the same. Either way, these are great, even as a souvenir for guests to take home since it won’t spoil easy.

Chocolate fountain
This one is an oldie but a goodie. There’s no one on earth that doesn’t like chocolate and if they say they don’t, they’re wrong. The beauty of this is that you can have guests dip in anything under the sun. Think fresh fruit, biscuit-fingers, or even donuts. The list goes on. Plus, it makes for a super pretty decor piece.

Mousse
Delectable, smooth and decadent. Mousse is fancy and fun at the same time because you can make little artworks by packing different layers in a glass or glass bowl. That way, you can play with different colours. Or you can keep it as simple as chocolate. Stunning pictures all the way!
Macarons
Almost seems like we left the most obvious for last, doesn’t it? We all know that macarons are highly Instagrammable. Scientific fact. And yummy too! Well, eat your heart out.

Every couple has a love story. All the moments in life come together to create the now. When a couple decides to get married, they bring with them…
One size fits all? No! Not when it comes to your body shape.
Women come in all shapes and sizes and it’s so important to know your body type and shape to dress accordingly and accentuate your best features. There are many different body shapes and types, and each one is unique. To avoid your dress shopping experience being a stressful, it’s important to know and stick to what works for your body.
It’s also important to remember that very few women fall into only one category as we can have different features from various body types. Why? Because we’re beautifully unique!
In this upcoming series, we’ll be looking at all the different body shapes and some gorgeous weddings gowns that will accentuate YOU perfectly.
First up, is the pear shape.
A pear shape, also known as the ‘triangle’, is the most common body shape, where the hipline is wider than your shoulders. Flattering a pear-shaped body is all about highlighting the natural waistline and your more slender upper torso to balance your silhouette.
The classic A-line dress is a great starting point – with some embellishment details on the bodice to act as a focal point, it will naturally accentuate your waist. To balance your shape, consider cap sleeves, and off-the-shoulder cut or a fuller skirt that adds some movement. With that, you want to cinch in your waistline and create an hourglass silhouette.
If you are feeling a bit more regal, look at Meghan Markle inspired gowns and add a plunging neckline for a modern update, while necklines like the sweetheart cut will leave you looking femininely soft and romantic.
Steer clear of mermaid gowns or tight fit-and-flare silhouettes as it will draw more attention to your widest area which will, in essence, make the area look wider than it is.

Recently, it’s become almost like a fun guessing game: Does the bride have decor on the soles of her shoes? Does the groom? Some couples have taken to writing messages for each other there, some brides have inspirational words and some just want a fancy decoration. We have some brilliant ideas that will sweep you off your feet.
Messages to each other
Reading a heartfelt letter from your soon-to-be spouse just before the wedding is a special moment. Save the trees and write it on their shoes.
Matchy-matchy
These are especially great for pictures. If there are song lyrics, quotes or anything else you like, you can split it so that both of your shoes complete it together.
Personalised stickers
There might be a specific theme you want to carry, or something that’s meaningful or beautiful to you that you want to use. It could be your new surname, the date of the wedding, anything really. The options are endless.
