Kardashian Wedding---- Over the Top Indeed

There have been so many things to say about the Kardashian wedding from the beautiful Vera Wang dresses (THREE of them) to the magnificent aisle runner (196 feet of Swarovski crystal studded wonderment) to the celebrity studded event. We think the interesting thing is how this wedding will impact the weddings to come in the US and beyond. What trends will be set, how will the look (or not) be followed? We think that aisle runners will continue to grow in importance coming a long way from their first plain white, often plastic inception. A very good thing if you ask the heels that have been snagged or the people who have slipped or tripped! The strong resurgence of the 'second gown' will more than likely be seen as brides want to change into a second wedding look at the reception.

One of the most interesting things to be said about the wedding, dubbed America's Royal Wedding by some pundits, is the monetization of the event. Was the wedding over the top? Absolutely, but over the top by a bride, groom and family who had it in their budget to do so. Amazingly and worth note is the way that this wedding will actually MAKE money! Who knew? It certainly takes the dollar dance to a whole new level doesn't it?  :)  It will be worth following how 'normal' brides and grooms search for a revenue stream for their own weddings.
