At the San Francisco Wedding Fair earlier this year, wedding and event planning company Floramor created these incredible tables inspired by some of today's hottest pop-stars—Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez, and Fergie.
"Music is such a major part of what creates a mood and a successful event, and each of these ladies is so hot right now that it just seemed perfect," said the designer, Laura Little, of Floramor. "Each of the tables came from my perception of how these ladies project their personal style into their videos, performances and public appearances."
Take a look—and let us know which is your favorite!

It’s a bit bold and a tad daring, but we at idojour.com love the idea of brides dressing their 'maids in pretty frocks with prints and patterns. The big question is, how do you work with prints as part of a cohesive look, especially when you factor multiple girls, shoes and flowers? We decided to ask the folks at Ellis Flowers for their expert advice on what accessories they would pair with these five very different but beautiful looks.
When working with graphic pattern, such as these gorgeous blue dresses, it's best to accessorize with a single color. We love the idea of pairing these dresses with a bold contrasting color, like orange.

One of the priests draped connected lace wedding crowns, called stefana, on the bride and groom’s heads, symbolizing their union. He also led the couple around the altar three times. “In this act, we took our first steps as a married couple,” explains Sally.

Back in 1952, Isidore and Joan Schwartz tied the knot at New York's famed Waldorf-Astoria hotel. And now, the happy couple will be returning to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary for just $16.80—the same price they paid on their wedding night (today, room rates start at $319). “I’m going to see if anything looks familiar,” Isidore, 88, told the New York Daily News.
Why did this couple score such a steep discount? Turns out, the Waldorf has a little-known policy that allows a couple who spent their honeymoon at the Waldorf to celebrate a milestone anniversary (50 years or more) at the original room rate—all they need is their receipt. Not many people know about the deal—about two or three couples take advantage of this amazing perk every year.
Isidore, 88, and Joan, 82, met on a blind date on Thanksgiving 1950, and were married 16 months later. Recalling their reception: “I remember standing on some sort of balcony, looking down at the wedding party, and seeing all my relatives grabbing at the food,” Joan said. $4.75 covered a steak dinner for one, and ice sculptures at the reception, too.
“It was a great party. Everyone had a great time,” said Isidore.
We recommend saving your wedding night receipt—just in case!

Although my fiancé Corey and I haven’t registered for gifts yet, we’ve started to think about where we’d like to register and what we’d like to register for. We want to keep our registry as streamlined as possible, so finding a store that offers everything we need for each room (bedroom, kitchen and bathroom) all in one place is important to us. We found that Kohl’s is a great option because they have tons of locations, so out-of-town guests are sure to find a convenient one near them. Plus, they just unveiled their new Ever After Rewards Program, where you can earn 10% rewards on gifts purchased! We took a trip to Kohl's recently to get some registry inspiration and found some great items that fit our hectic yet down-to-earth lifestyle perfectly.
Corey has been traveling for work a lot lately and didn’t have any luggage of his own, so he was thrilled to receive the Delsey® Air Energy 2.0 21-in. Expandable Wheeled Carry-On as a Christmas gift. We found out that the full Delsey luggage set is available at Kohl's, so we look forward to registering for more pieces from that line. That way, we have all of our bases covered for future trips. Luggage should last for decades, so you want to make sure you register for top-quality brands like Delsey.
