More couples these days are favoring the un-styled, un-planned moments of their wedding day versus the traditional signature wedding photos.

These creative 'Trash The Dress' ideas result in photos that express the couple’s personalities through a setting that--while unheard of in the past--are now 'key' in capturing these once-in-a-lifetime scenes.

With a desire to capture the unscripted moments, brides & grooms are also looking for a photographer that can get very creative during a portrait session--which is why couples everywhere are dressing in their wedding day finest & plunging into lakes, walking through abandoned amusement parks, wandering through train stations, & searching for other creative backdrops for these amazing Trash The Dress images--here are some of our favorites from Tracey Buyce of Tracey Buyce Photography!

 The staff at Jivana Holistic Spa recently participated in a 4 day with Kim Collier, of Jamu Asian Spa Rituals. They learned the 75 minute Balinese Massage with the range of organic JAMU oils. JAMU means "herbal healing" in the Indonesian language. The client choses the scent tradition which appeals to them (hard to choose!) Offered are: Bali Flowers (Calming, Ylang Ylang); Island Fruits (Energizing Citrus); Ginger Spice (Warming and Purifying) Thai Lemongrass (Detoxifying) Jasmine Frangipani (Enchanting, Romantic) Coconilla ("Beach in a Bottle" Coconut Vanilla). There are also full body treatments including exfoliations, and body wraps. The most beautiful treatment they learned is the Javanese Lulur, the royal spa ritual from the 17th century palace traditions of Java. Traditionally, the bride-to-be would experience this treatment every day for 40 days prior her wedding to "sweeten the skin" with the intoxicating scents of Jasmine and Frangipani. The two hour complete ritual begins with a Balinese Massage and continues with the traditional full body "lulur" scrub, an ancient recipe of rice, tumeric, yogurt and jasmine perfume. The body is wrapped in the lulur scrub on our heated "Soft Pack" table where the bride-to-be floats in total relaxation for 25 minutes.

Coren Moore was featured on the season premiere of David Tutera's show on We Network, My Fair Wedding. He chose the "Sophie" dress for the bridesmaids.

Also, we have just launched our newest bridesmaid styles for the season, as well as a few new bridal styles (we have also added a new colors to our shantung options). All of our most recent additions can be seen here: {Coren Moore Blog}

With the cost of weddings seeming to grow exponentially, one way for a bride to feel better about all the spending is to seek out vendors that give back to the community through charitable donations. One such business is Angela's Bridal in Albany, NY.

During the entire month of October, Angela's Bridal will pay the sales tax for each bride that makes a personal contribution to Gilda's Club. Gilda's Club is a local support community for anyone whose life had been touched by cancer. It is a wonderful feeling for a bride-to-be to know that part of what she spends creating her perfect day can help brighten the day of another! Not to mention, saving a little in the process, which always helps! Angela's Bridal feels strongly about participating in the community by sharing the good fortune of their success! For more information on Gilda's Club please visit www.gccny.org and for more information on Angela's Bridal please visit www.angelasbridal.net

In between selecting the dress, the location, the flowers and food there's one item that is easily forgot, the jewels! Okay, we're not talking about the wedding bands, although we'd hate to forget those either! We mean your wedding day accessories. As any fashion diva knows, the proper bauble can make or break the dress and yet far too many brides wait until the last minute to select their jewelry.

For New York City brides, however, this problem is no longer a chore. Tejani Jewelries will now come to you! This highly personalized service is available 7 days a week with no obligation to purchase. Tejani tells us, simply select up to ten pieces from their treasure trove of earrings, bangles, necklaces and chokers to compliment your bridal gown and let them handle the details. This free styling service allows you to try on your jewelry with your dress so you can decide first-hand exactly what looks best for your perfect look on the most important day of your life! If you have any questions, please call their showroom at 212.354.3144. Or visit their website www.tejanibridaljewelry.com

Autumn is an exceptional time to marry on the East Coast. The cooler weather allows you wonderful opportunities to introduce color and texture. In doing a little research on autumnal accessories I came across twigs & honey and feel in love & just had to share. These one-of-a-kind hair adornments are inspired by nature, add a little vintage flair, and are truly for the style-savvy. Pieces start at $38. Please visit twigs & honey on Etsy to purchase.
