Angelina Jolie angry over Brad's big spending
Brad Pitt likes to spend money on expensive items and this make partner Angelina Jolie furious. They have been fighting over this matter.
According to source “Angelina is furious with Brad’s expensive tastes. It rubs her up the wrong way how he burns through money. Whereas Brad enjoys life’s luxuries, Angie is frugal. She’s always been tight with her money and Brad’s splurges bother her.”

North Korea banned worship Angelina Jolie
Government in North Korea banned its people from owning western things such as movies, photos. But still, people will do anything to grab their idol's items.
A South Korean resident said:
‘Some brave women collect rare photos of Angelina Jolie and these are traded like valuable jewels. Many North Korean women look up to Angelina as some kind of distant hero that might one day take up their cause.’

Wedding Feet
It probably won't surprise you to hear one of our favorite things about weddings: the shoes. You know and love and all that. But, in all seriousness, we know many a bride who has stressed over her shoe situation just as much (if not more!) than the dress.
So when Jenny from Wedding Feet e-mailed us about her site and blog, we were absolutely tickled. Essentially, Wedding Feet is a collection of some of the cutest bridal shoes from around the web. The site not only has her fabulous blog, but also a discussion board entitled "Shoe Gossip" where participants can post questions with photos (like "which shoes match better with this dress?") and the like.
Honestly, we think it's a pretty brilliant idea. And, what bride wouldn't love a go-to shoe resource? Not to mention, Jenny's fabulous taste shines in some of the beauties she has posted. Check it out!

To Love a Video
Recently we saw this wedding video by Brett Culp and fell in love. There is something about a wedding video that is so much more tangible than photographs. Let me not confuse you; photographs are amazing. I cannot emphasize that enough. But, actually seeing yourself walk down the aisle or speak your vows again? Few things compare.
And, we are in love with Brett Culp's work. Doesn't he do a fabulous job capturing the emotion in this?
What do you guys think? Did you have a wedding videographer? Do you regret not getting one?

Favorite Venue: Black Diamond
Last week we had the privilege of visiting the beautiful Black Diamond Ranch in Lecanto, Florida. The Black Diamond Ranch is part golf course and part resort and would make a lovely wedding location for any bride who should be so lucky.
Upon entrance, the venue has a very warm, comfortable feel that is still very upscale and elegant. With the stone flooring and giant fireplaces it feels very much like a cozy lodge. But, make no mistake, the Black Diamond Ranch has breathtaking views and, upon closer look, the great room seems almost as though it was designed for weddings.
Our photos:
Photos from their website:
Gorgeous, right? The great room can seat up to 300 and couples have the choice of getting married on that grassy spot (first photo of mine) near the lodge or down by the fabulous rock quarry (last photo of theirs). Seriously beautiful.
For more information and photos be sure to visit their website at www.blackdiamondranch.com.

Brad Pitt wants his kids to eat more vege but Angelina refuse
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have not been in good terms. They have been fighting a lot recently. They just can't compromise to each other.
Brad Pitt is a vege lover for many years and wants his partner, Angie and kids to follow him by eating more vegetables.
One source said "Brad hates seeing the children eating meat and he’s annoyed with how much red meat Angelina has. He goes on about the damage caused by methane gases from cattle and that the family should go veggie but Angie says that’s never going to happen.’

Inspiration Board: Erinn's Wedding
So, one of the interns here on the MasterPiece Weddings staff, Erinn, from Behind the Knot, is getting married next December 2010. So, of course it is only natural that we immediately began working on an inspiration board as soon as her colors were chosen.
Her wedding will be a combination of slate gray, marine blue, and bright green. It's such a clean, JCrew kind of look. I think I would have been scared to go with three very different colors but I absolutely adore the way they look together. I just know that Erinn is going to have the most beautiful coordinated wedding. I cannot wait to help her pull the details together!
Isn't it beautiful? Thanks so much Ashley for another gorgeous board. I love how you were able to incorporate many ideas that Erinn has discussed (including a photo of her!). This one is truly stunning -- I think she will love it!
So what do you guys think? Gorgeous, no?

Angelina Jolie's partner Brad Pitt on the cover in Wired magazine
Wedding Thriller
In light of recent events, this video seemed ironically appropriate. Major kudos to these groomsmen for those dance moves! I am seriously impressed.
I love too how the dance kind of starts out of no where. It doesn't seem like anyone had any clue that was about to happen.
So, what do you think? Great to lighten the mood or not so much for a wedding reception?

Why do we Mix?
(Melissa, Amanda, Stewart and Amanda2)
I had a bride ask me recently why do we as planners go to wedding vendor mixers... well, honestly, that's a good question.
The first thing that comes to mind is that we really do like each other! The vendors that is, and when we see each other at your wedding, although we are having a great time working your wedding, it is just that for us. Work.
(Melissa and Leigh)
So getting together at a mixer for is a great time to catch up personally, "So how are the kids?" and its a great time for us to find new vendors "Hey, I brought my friend who just opened a new Photobooth business in town!" and it's a great time for us to be reminded about vendors we haven't worked with in a while.
Recently a local photographer, threw a fantastical vendor mixer at his house, TJM Studios. It had a super swenk NY NY theme, and there was a new caterer (Embers Catering) there who took care of all of our food and beverage needs! Another great reason for a mixer! New vendors to let new clients know about!

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt may want to settle down in New York
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt may want to stay in New York. They have been checking up
Apthorp, the century-old upper West Side landmark .
One source said "The gated courtyard means they can get in and out of their car without being hassled by paparazzi. The building also has several other exits."
It must be a tiring for them to travel here and there. I can't imagine if I am their children.Need to cope with new environment, new school everytime. Imagine you need to make new friends again in school but after sometime, you need to shift to new school again and you will sad that you have to leave your friends as well.

Friday Fun: Twitter
Though it says it was posted by me (Amanda), this post is actually written by Melissa:
This is only being posted for your enjoyment. For those of you who don’t follow me on Twitter (WeddingPlanner1) you are missing out. Back in April I hit my head pretty hard, during a site visit at an amazing hotel… well not only did it leave a nice “goose egg” it started to give me some nasty side effects so, I was forced to go to the emergency room. 
My husband was concerned that there could be permanent damage. And my symptoms were getting worse, so, with me kicking and screaming he took me to the emergency room. Fortunately for you, my tweets were apparently pretty comical.
And Saundra at Planning Forever has now dubbed me Thor. (Thanks Saun!)
So back my popular demand, and to give you a chuckle this Friday, here is my play by play at the ER. And I promise you, NONE of this is made up, it’s all based on my actual 8 hour ordeal in the ER wafting room. Don’t worry I am fine now.
April 21st: (the day after I hit my head)
9:21AM- Feels like I have been run over by a Mac truck! And have one day’s worth of work to catch up on- which = a week’s worth (why is that?)
1:53PM - Is at the ER- stupid bump on the head is making me sick to my stomach. Dizzy and blurring my vision- fun times ahead!
2:24PM - Triaged- CAT scan ordered, waiting again! Isn't this fun!
3:22PM - CAT scan check! That was super fun! Now hurry up and wait again!
3:43PM - Why are ER waiting rooms so darned cold! I swear I could freeze to death in here before I see a doctor!
4:20PM - Dear lady in night gown and no shoes, why are you screaming and cursing? You are disrupting the man puking blood and can't breathe lady!
4:48PM - No shoes lady just left screaming to no one- thank you for the sh*tty medical care- fun times!
5:00PM - More fun times at the ER- tattoo all over lady decided to do stand up not so comedy for the whole waiting room- seriously where am I?
5:11PM - Is still waiting at the ER- no shoes and night gown lady is back, and bleeding prom dress girl joined the party!
6:08PM - Seriously! 6 hours in the ER waiting room- is this normal? Puking blood man, bleeding Prom dress girl, and no shoes girl and I are now BFFs!
6:23PM - Just joining the ER waiting room party- 1 ton man, missing 2 fingers man, and boy with 7 missing teeth holding a bloody napkin to his mouth!
6:26PM - A big huge ER welcome to can't breathe crying hysterical girl and black dress blue shoes lady! I swear you can't make this stuff up!
6:54PM - Dear Mom of crying hysterical not sick kid- please leave the ER waiting room, bleeding man and no shoes lady are looking at you funny!
7:14PM - ER waiting room welcoming committee welcomes crying bloody nose boy! I was thinking of faking a seizure- but God knows what is on this floor!! Ewww!
7:30PM - New Chinese Water torture - ER waiting room with migraine, dizzy, sick stomach. Fun times!
7:33PM - Oh yes, please kid who's not sick, keep dropping you big ass book on the floor, and your sister singing Hannah Montana, she sucks!
8:00PM - My name was called- now waiting for a doctor while sitting on a bed. 8:20PM - Official diagnosis - big ole concussion!
All THAT for some lousy drugs- and a massive headache!
Then I went home put some frozen corn on my head, and worked on the lap top… until Karry at UY Events yelled at me, and then I went to bed.
I hope you enjoyed my story… it is pretty funny looking back, I swear, I was waiting for those Candid Camera peeps to pop out from around the corner!

Angelina Jolie will team up with David Beckham for Armani ads
Angelina Jolie
According to reports, Angelina Jolie and David Beckham will be joining together for Armani ad campaign.
I wonder what David's wife Victoria has to say about this advertisement. Will she feel jealous?
A source told WAday.com, "When you have David Beckham and Angelina Jolie signed up to your fashion house it's a no brainer to link them up.
"They appeal to a diverse audience and a collaboration would create so much publicity it would push Armani head and shoulders above their rivals. There are a few contract issues to be addressed but marketing experts are being tasked with coming up with clever ideas for a print campaign."

Better than a Bouquet
When it comes to what you carry down the aisle, who says you have to conform to the standard of pretty blooms in a pretty bouquet? Why not mix it up a bit? And with the unlimited realm of creativity reaching weddings today, your options are anything but limited...
Crocheted Bouquet
(Source Unknown)
Or if you want to carry something other than a bouquet... consider these options: fur muff, parasol, candle, rosary, bible, fan, lantern, clutch.
So what about you, what are you carrying down the aisle?
