VIDEO: Gay Fathers Share First Dance at Their Son's Wedding

son-asks-gay-dads-for-wedding-first-danceWe couldn't resist sharing this sweet video with you of a son proud of his two fathers on his wedding day we found on the fun and fabulous Unicorn Booty. Director/producer Elliot London’s "Wedding Dance" delves into the meaning of family and marriage equality. Who will you be thanking on your wedding day?

If you're interested in helping make more educational, emotional films like this possible, head to IndieGoGo to safely donate to London's next project, Friend, which covers anti-gay bullying in social media.

Lovely Linen Rentals for Your Reception



If you and your fiance have decided to create every wedding detail yourselves, make a checklist early in the planning process of all the items the two of you will take care of as well as the details someone else will (that someone else being a vendor, relative or friend). There are the obvious items—invitations, floral decor, favors, the wedding cake, food and music—and then there are the not-so-obvious ones—china, glassware, linens, heating lamps (if you’re getting hitched outdoors), chairs, tables and flooring (also if you’re getting married outdoors).

If you can order items from fewer places it will make it easier when it comes to deliveries and billing. Rental companies will offer you a large variety of items but if their price tag is a little too high, look for discount sites.

For all your linen needs check out TableclothsFactory.com. The company manufactures every linen item you could possibly need for your wedding, including: tablecloths, chair covers, sashes, napkins and overlays for discounted prices. You’ll find linens in a wide range of colors and fabrics so you’re sure to find the perfect set for your wedding.

Wedding Style Inspiration from Pop Princesses

While watching the Grammys on Sunday night, we couldn't help but notice the pop stars' sets are perfect for drawing inspiration for a luxe wedding (even Nicki Minaj's uber strange performance featured plush curtains, beautiful stainglass effects and columns). At the San Francisco Wedding Fair this year, attendees were wowed by a room filled with diva-inspired tables designed by wedding and event planning company Floramor. The glitzy setups each drew inspiration from the musical style and personality of a different female singer, including Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga. Here are a few of our favorites featured on TresSugar:

BRITNEY SPEARS

Brit's back! (Though in our mind, she never left.) The tablescape inspired by Britney sparkles and shines just like the real pop princess. A mirrored surface catches the light from hanging lanterns in the over-the-top white rose centerpiece, as well as pearl accents and glittery linens.

BEYONCE

So she finally put a ring on it! Celebrate with an ultra-glam tabletop inspired by the R&B queen gives off a golden glow and features layered glass votives as centerpieces. The luxe decor is sure to entice guests out on the dance floor.

LADY GAGA

Mama Monster always goes for shock value with her costumes and performances so if you're a devoted Little Monster, channel her style with dramatic wedding decor.
This blood-red look is simple at table level, until you look up at the scene-stealing faux flower that gives the appearance it's growing up to the sky.

Check out the rest of the gliterrati-inspired designs, including Katy Perry, Fergie and Jennifer Lopez at TresSugar.
