Yes, all brides are beautiful, but for bridal beauty that "goes to 11", bring out the big guns. In the Afro Love magazine, our intrepid writer Stevie Wilson went undercover to the Emmy, Golden Globe and Oscar suites in Los Angeles to steal the best tips and secrets from the gurus of glam that primp the celebs: Red Carpet Glam D.I.Y.: The Stars That Walk the Red Carpet Aren't Born Perfect.

You mix vintage and designer in your normal life, so why stop on your wedding day? According to Kim Sunshine, Senior Fashion Editor of The Knot, some of the most inspired wedding day looks include vintage brooches, pearls, and beaded bags. Off-white & champagne are great color options, as are the newly popular trumpet or mermaid style dresses. In the Downtown Doll magazine: The Vintage Bride: Spice up your Wedding Garb by Pairing Something Cool, Vintage and Sparkly with Your Dress.

More is more - Miss Mae West was a fashion sage ahead of her time. In Boldly Bejeweled Bride: Diamonds, Sapphires or even a Pink Tourmaline - As Long as It's Good Quality, It's Perfect for a Wedding Ring (in the Fancy Flirt magazine), we hear from Marion Fasel, co-author of With this Ring: The Ultimate Guide to Wedding Jewelry that the latest trend in wedding day jewelry is to pile it on.  Also, white ain't always right - consider fancy colored diamonds - like Victoria Beckham's GBP 1 million rock - or even sapphires.

Sometimes the right gown comes along before Mr. Right. Mara Urshel's seen it before. The owner of the fabulous Kleinfeld bridal emporium in Brooklyn recommends choosing a location & date before falling in love with a dress - that way you don't show up at your own nuptials sporting a formal-50-layers-of-tulle number to a relaxed, barefoot affair at the beach.

Can't stomach the thought of a traditional wedding dress. Then try something more rock-goddess worthy in leather - maybe a three-piece cream suede suit, perhaps? Get the scoop in the Rock Punk magazine: And the Bride Wore Leather...Saying "I Do" Doesn't Autmatically Have to Mean Drowning in Yards of Tulle & Satin says Leather Couturier Jordan Betten of NYC's Lost Art.
