Today’s confession: celebrity weddings are my guilty pleasure. So color me excited when The Insider started posting snaps from what’s rumored to be the set-up for Beyonce & Jay-Z’s wedding today.
The alleged bridal bouquet:
What do you think of the gold accents & feathers? I’m intrigued but I need to see more.

The celeb gossip world is buzzing with news that one of P. Diddy’s guests was turned away for wearing an off-white trousers to his annual White Party, where guests are instructed to wear all white. Horrors! Oh, the scandal!
(Not that I’d ever land an invite to Diddy’s party but I look HORRIBLE in all-white. What about us pale-skinned people that look like death in white, Mr. Combs? I could never attend. It’s unfair. I protest.)
This got me thinking about about the etiquette and appropriateness of demanding or requesting that wedding guests adhere to a certain dress code. Over the years I’ve seen “black tie”, “beach casual”, “your vintage best”, and eye-roll-inducing “please no light blue attire” on invitations.
So, I’m curious what you think. Is it ever appropriate for a couple to mandated a dress code at their wedding? (This is assuming that all guests are reasonably sane and cultured adults.)

Is it like anything you expected? What do you think?

Though it was just announced, you may have missed your chance to buy the tiara Madonna wore at her own wedding.
Mrs. Ritchie donated her tiara to raise money for Katrina relief and the Kazanijan Foundation who provide education and opportunity to underprivileged youth through the sale of donated jewelry. The tiara was to be auctioned on eBay. At this writing, the auction page states bidding has ended for this item though there are no bidders. (Bids start at US $225,000).

Because, deep down, you really care…
Oh la la, mes amies there’s been much movement on the celebrity wedding front.
The latest scoop is that Madonna and Mr. Madonna (Guy Ritchie, in case you forgot) are set to renew their wedding vows once Madge’s current tour is over. Awww. (scooped by FemaleFirst )
Pam Anderson + Kid Rock got hitched in San Tropez last week aboard a beautiful yacht. It was a grand affair. The bride wore a mini dress and brand new Botox; the groom, jeans and a t-shirt (presumably without stains). Weddings are klassy gigs, y’all. Oh, yeah, they had a second ceremony a few days later in Detroit to make it all legal. (image Anorak )
“Rocker” Avril Levigne and Sum 41 singer Deryck Whibley were married in mid-July. I have nothing really snarky to say here. They make a cute couple. (scooped by Canada.com)
The paparazzi are stalking Tom Cruise and Kate Holmes as their wedding day approaches. No official date as been released but Tom was quoted as saying they’re having a late-Summer wedding. It’s now August, so…. where’s my invite? The rumour mill is the fete will happen at either John Travolta’s home or the Montecito, CA, estate of The Oprah. May they have a lifetime of happiness.
Who do you think will be the next celebrity couple to tie the knot?
