Real Gangsta Wedding: Oracle Fox

HOLY SMOKES! When I saw Mrs. Oracle Fox's wedding, I had to post it immediately. Mr. and Mrs. Oracle Foc got married in Bali in the fall. She has amazing style (as evidenced by her blog, obv).
I just can't get over that dress. It looks like mermaids crafted it from shells at the bottom of the sea.

Non Boring Wedding China

According to The Knot, you should register for two China sets, one formal and one traditional. According to Gangsta Bride, they should not be lame.

Behold:
Rob Ryan's 4 season plates. You can buy them here.

The Royal 3D Wedding

3D has officially gotten out of hand. First it was movies, and it was only a matter of time before it hit weddings too. According to the Daily Mail, Prince William and Kate Middleton are thinking about broadcasting their wedding in 3D.

Now, I could go on a rampage about how it really seems like a shameless gimic in attempt to make the royal family seem more "relevant" and "hip" to try and sell more plates with their faces on it or whatever, but instead, I'm gonna turn this into a more positive post.

I mean I completely see the appeal. Its magical! Like Harry Potter!

I think it would be fun to have some wedding pictures done in 3D.

Gangsta Cards Revoked: Ugly Wedding Dresses

With so many adorable dresses out there in the blogsphere, I thought it was my duty to share with you some of the more ooogly dresses out there, to, ya know, balance out the universe.

Reem Acra

So this one actually wouldn't be so bad without the bonnet and cape and intense makeup. But didn't some crazy bitch like Rachel Zoe say that styling is everything? She was absolutely right. I kind of hate saying that, but sometimes the craziest ones speak the most truth.

The hat and skirt are obviously ridiculous. I keep waiting for a bunch of little kids to come screaming out from under her skirt like in those games we played in elementary school with the huge parachutes. Actually, I think it would be kinda cool in a scaled back kind of way.

Vera Wang

I know, right? The woman who can do no wrong has managed to f this one up. Seriously, though. I've never seen such an expensive dress look so cheap.

Jenny Packham

The dress looks like those ugly lamps that southern housewives buy from Marshalls. If homegirl can't make it work, then no one can. Sorry, Jenny Packham, your gangsta card has been revoked.

They actually managed to put everything I hate in a dress in one dress! That's why I saved it for last. The huge skirt, the slutty corset.. I already know that someone who picks this dress and I are not going to get along. Call me judgmental.

How to be a hit at a reception

The Waistcoat vs the Vest

A lil street etiquette for ya. This is how you wear a waistcoat and vest. Folks nowadays are always wearing their clothes too big and baggy. A vest can be worn a little looser (see left), but a waistcoat must fit around your torso (see right). It looks great with a tie and really makes a great layering piece.

Do you prefer a waistcoat or a vest?
