Fashion and wedding dress designer Vera Wang recently released a new application for smartphones, which helps brides-to-be who are planning a wedding, according to The Huffington Post.
The application includes more than 1,000 pictures of cakes, dresses, flowers and stationary to help planners pick what they like. It also includes tons of articles related to wedding planning along with the ability to track the couple’s guest list – so they need no extra help to manage the details, according to the news source.
When it comes to the beautiful wedding dress the bride will wear, Wang advises women to ensure they give themselves enough time to look.
“A bride should look at everything she possibly can and try on all the different possibilities, just so she can experiment and see what makes her really feel beautiful or glamorous or classic, or whatever she desires to be on her wedding day,” Wang told the news source.
Wang is known for her fabulous wedding dresses, but has recently expanded her line to include wedding bands, engagement rings and other beautiful jewels.
Every year Perfect Wedding Guide puts on two networking luncheons for the wedding professionals around the Albuquerque and Santa Fe area. Our upcoming luncheon will be at the Desert Greens Golf Course on January 11, 2012 from 11:30am-1pm. This luncheon will feature a bridal board, consisting of ten couples that have planned or are planning a wedding. Wedding vendors will have the chance to learn what is going through the couples minds when selecting wedding vendors for their wedding.
If you know of anyone that has planned or are planning a wedding and might be interested in participating in our bridal board, please have them contact Melanie at 505-797-2749 or melanie.martinez@pwg.com.

Many people say that once their wedding day comes, some things still do not go right as certain events are unexpected and unpredictable. A couple from Taos, New Mexico, can absolutely agree as two bears crashed their nuptials Sunday night, according to Albuquerque Journal.
A 300-pound bear and her cub climbed up a tree right next to a wedding at the El Monte Sagrado Resort. Matt Pengelly, a game and fish officer, went to sedate the animals, as the cub ran off. Local police officers also had to come and make sure that the people, who were decked out in wedding guest attire, did not wander into the woods, according to the news source.
Many guests took pictures of the bear. Unfortunately, it did affect the wedding, but the couple were still able to say “I do,” the media outlet reports.
According to the news channel KOAT-TV, there has been repeated reports of a bear in the area, and officials assume that it is the same bear. The huge animal was sedated and taken away, it is due to be released later.
Experience the Sheraton Uptown Albuquerque Hotel while you enjoy complimentary champagne and hors d’ oeuvres, meet with New Mexico’s premier vendors, and view new trends in weddings. This cocktail event will take place from 6pm-8pm at the Sheraton Uptown.
