A new toaster. A state-of-the-art coffee maker. The most unique excursions during your honeymoon, perhaps? All of these are great ideas for any bride’s registry. However, while giving loved ones a chance to give you the things you need to start a new married life with your husband, you can also use your wedding registry as the perfect opportunity to give back and be generous during this time of celebration.

The big day has been announced and you are now the lucky recipient of a personal invitation to the impending nuptials. So, how about the gift? Never fear, BELLA is here to lead you into the promised land of gift-giving bliss, the happy place where no matter the wedding in question, you will be forever equipped to give gifts that most certainly do not suck.

This is bigger than just me, this is everyone’s fantasy," says Curtis Cassell, founder and CEO of QUEERA, a brand all about fitting your body and not defining your gender. Since its inception in 2020, the brand has been paving a new lane of inclusivity in the bridal space, and most recently seen on season 3 of Prime Video's "Making the Cut." Through custom, mix and match collections, with attention to detail like that of haute couture, QUEERA is creating a safe space in fashion.

Here is a different perspective on how to begin the planning of your wedding. Approach your wedding like you are creating a story for a movie; you are the lead, and your wedding party and family are the cast. There is the trailer, beginning, the middle, and the ending of the story.

Gone are the days when couples who tie the knot join hands and plunge a knife into a multi-tiered cake to mark their union. More and more couples are moving away from the age-old tradition of not only performing the cake-cutting ceremony but eliminating wedding cake from their nuptials altogether. “No one has ever said ‘wedding cake’ when asked what their favorite dessert is,” says Dana Morrissey, partner at Mana Hospitality Group.

As you prepare for the most magical day of your life, the task of curating a wardrobe for your bridal party can be daunting. Thankfully, The Modern Groom’s seasoned experts offer personalized styling sessions, guiding you towards the perfect suit package.
