Actress Christina Hendricks Marries Her Mad Man


Christina Hendricks, who plays secretary Joan Holloway on the hit AMC television show Mad Men, married fellow actor, Geoffrey Arend, (of Super Troopers opening scene fame) this past weekend at Il Buco restaurant in New York City. The blushing bride wore an ivory fils coupe (cut thread) Carolina Herrera gown, which Hendricks told People Magazine was the very first dress she tried on. The couple is a Mad Men match made in heaven, as Hendricks’ co-star, Vincent Kartheiser, introduced the pair.

Congrats!

Dress Your Best: Wedding Guest Edition


Contrary to what some may think, looking gorgeous on the big days is not only her burden to bear. In fact, finding something to wear, as a guest of a wedding can be even trickier than shopping for a wedding gown – at least the bride has her outfit narrowed down to one color! Luckily for us wedding guests, fashionistas Hilary Kerr and Katherine Power, creators of the trendy website WhoWhatWear.com share their tips on how to dress for a black tie wedding in this excerpt from their new book, Who What Wear: Celebrity And Runway Style For Real Life.

Go For: Jewel tone, black, or navy dresses; floor-length or cocktail-length dresses; interesting, embellished accessories; faux fur jackets or shrugs

Steer Clear Of: White, cream, or ivory dresses; revealing cuts (too low, too short, too backless); casual fabrics (cotton, jersey, or polyester)

Risky Business: Sequins, prints, bright colors; red dresses

What We’d Wear: A strapless, vintage, emerald-green dress that hits the middle of our shins, gray fur wrap, gold and black strappy high heels, and a metallic evening bag

Emergency Toast: Don’t Leave Home Without It


A good wedding toast is like a mini skirt: Long enough to cover everything, but short enough to hold your interest. Unfortunately, you can’t find a good toast at your nearest mall. In case you find your mind go blank as you tap a champagne glass or are just struggling to find the right words, here’s an emergency toast you should have on hand:

(Bride) and (Groom) may your lives be filled with joy, good health, and a lifetime of happiness. Cheers!

Remember to have a glass in your hand, speak loudly and clearly, and most importantly don’t drink too much before your toast (like the gentleman shown below in the movie The Wedding Singer), but be sure to take your sip after!
