Check out our picks for the comedian and her bride.By Brittny DryeNew show, new life and, soon, a new wife! When we heard that Rosie O\u2019Donnell, star of OWN Network\u2019s \u201cThe Rosie Show\u201d which debuted in October, popped the question to girlfriend Michelle Rounds, we immediately went into wedding planning mode. If we were to play wedding planner to this adorable celebrity duo, these would be our selections for Rosie and Michelle\u2019s big day.P.S. Rosie, feel free to use these ideas\u2014all we ask in return is an invite to the wedding!\u00a0\u00a0The Flowers: As an ode to her soon-to-be wife, we love the idea of  Rounds carrying a beach-inspired bouquet that features roses, such as  this Day at the Beach bridal bouquet from The Little Bouquet Shop. It features an assortment of 20  seashells, camellias, white gladiolas, amaranth, white roses and  Swarovski pearls. And there\u2019s a matching Day at the Beach boutonniere for O\u2019Donnell.The Suit: O\u2019Donnell\u2019s wardrobe is filled mostly with leggings and Eileen  Fisher tunics, but we have a feeling the comedian will be willing to  suit up for her nuptials. Our pick is Brooks Brothers’ beach-worthy linen suit separates, paired with electric blue cuff links from Tiffany & Co.,   not only as her something blue, but as an ode to her mother who passed  away when O\u2019Donnell was just a preteen. Her mother used to wear an  electric blue robe\u2014the only piece of clothing that O\u2019Donnell says she  has been moved by. \u201cTo this day, that bathrobe is the only piece of  clothing I can actually see in my mind. I have no visuals of prom  dresses or favorite sweaters or shoes I couldn\u2019t live without,\u201d she once  said in an Elle interview. \u201cClothes are just something I use for cover, leaving room for one electric blue memory.\u201dThe Food: Since the two met in a Starbucks, it\u2019s only fitting to somehow incorporate the coffee giant into the big day. Their cake pops, which come in a variety of flavors such as rocky road and tiramisu, are the perfect sweet treat to delight guests.The Location: O\u2019Donnell told reporters at the Michigan Avenue magazine\u2019s holiday party that she would love to get married on the beach. \u201cWe may do a private ceremony in the spring, and then get married for real in the summer with everybody invited!\u201d she exclaimed. Our pick is Bacuti & Tara Beach Resort in gay-friendly Aruba. Standing side-by-side on 14 acres of sugary sand in the low-rise hotel area of the island (versus the very touristy high-rise area where the buildings eclipse the sun and everything else native to the island) are two Mediterranean-influenced buildings under the name (and ownership) of Bucuti and Tara Beach Resorts. Rated four stars each, they boast a modern design that incorporates rich woods and earthy tones with a splash of brightness in their entirely eco-friendly atmosphere. And if the newlyweds decide to honeymoon there, we have an extensive honeymoon itinerary they can follow.The Dress: Originally, their whirlwind romance was to be made official over the Christmas holidays, but after going wedding dress shopping at a Vera Wang boutique in Chicago with her fiancee, plans changed.  \u201cI saw her in that dress and thought, \u2018You know what, everybody that loves you should see you in that dress,\u2019\u201d explains O\u2019Donnell. \u201cAfterwards, we went out to dinner at Barney\u2019s and decided to do a real wedding.\u201d Our pick for her bride would be Vera Wang\u2019s Dylan gown, a strapless full baby doll sheath. The flowy design is perfect for a beach wedding and the lace bodice and crisscross bow detail is ideal for the blond fashionista."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Rosie O\u2019Donnell and Michelle Rounds: Our Planning Picks for the Celebrity Wedding","item":"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/rosie-odonnell-and-michelle-rounds-our-planning-picks-for-the-celebrity-wedding\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
