Wedding Wise Wednesday – August 17

Every Wednesday I bring you the best wedding stories, event and deals in Los Angeles and around the web. And we call it Wedding Wise Wednesday. Welcome!

Coolest Wedding Thing of the Year: I think this made my entire year and is now the #1 reason I love twitter. Bridesmaid in Virginia can’t make it to Colorado wedding in person, but two ipads solved that problem. She got on Facetime, and was able to walk down the aisle with a groomsmen, take pictures with the wedding party, and even enjoy the reception. And I just DIG it. I must upgrade to the ipad2 immediately. Thanks to @theknot for the awesome pull.

Cool,To: Every wedding ends with a kiss, but how about a rainbow? The end of a rainy day gives this couple a wonderful picture. How cool is that? Love her bouquet, too – go to Brenda’s Wedding Blog for more beautiful pictures from Studio Sister Photography. Enjoy! Thanks to @weddingsites for the find.
