Chef Makes Cream Puff Wedding Gown For Bride
Posted by Crystal in Bridal Gowns & Accessories, In The News
Uzhhorod, Ukraine (AHN) – A chef fashioned his fiancee’s wedding gown from 1,500 cream puffs, making it in two months with the final product weighing in at 20 pounds.Valentyn Shtefano, 28, already had a growing reputation in his area for making baking a visual art.
“At first glance, it’s really a surprise. I didn’t even believe it was a cake,” said Olha Nemyataya, who tasted Shtefano’s new desserts. “Nowhere in Uzhhorod have I seen things like this.”
He got his education from a three-month baking course in Paris and had previously joined an international baking competition with his sister. They entered a 2-foot-long 1920s-era Cadillac made from cream puffs and caramel, and bagged third place.
Shtefano’s dessert creations can be racy like a pair of breasts at a pizzeria where his goods are sold. Although he was also known to create a detailed Easter cake that attracted hundreds to a cathedral.
“At first, it was even a little embarrassing,” the bride, Viktoriya Shtefano said of the dress she wore to the reception. “Cameras, interviews, but after a couple of hours, I didn’t even want to take it off.”

Cashing In On Your Wedding?
Posted by Crystal in Celebrity Weddings, In The News
There has been a growing trend of “sponsored” weddings. With the average cost of a wedding growing to unbelievable proportions, it’s not that surprising. Even celebrities have been known to use their weddings for a chance to bring in some extra bucks. Take a look at what some of these celebrities received or their wedding exclusive contracts:
Jordan & Peter Andre sold exclusive rights tot heir wedding to OK! Magazine for a stunning £1.7m (over 2m US)
David Beckman and Victoria Adams sold the exclusive rights to their wedding photos for OK! Magazine for £1m.
Catherine Zeta-Jones & Michael Douglas originally sold their wedding photos to OK! Magazine for £1m and then found themselves in a legal battle when it was alleged someone from Hello! snuck in to the bash and took photos.
Cheryl Tweedy & Ashley Cole received £1m from OK! Magazine for exclusive rights to pictures of their secret ceremony.
Tracy Shaw & Robert Ashworth were paid £350K for their wedding photos in June 2001.
Anthea Turner & Grant Bovey were paid £450K for exclusive photo rights and quickly came to regret it. Photos of the bride eating Cadbury’s Sbowflake bars were published shortly after, and she claims she was tricked into taking the photos after she had been drinking.
Brian McFadden & Kerry Katona did receive £300K for photos from their wedding, but even that was not enough to cover the £400K price tag for a marraige that lasted only two years.
Joan Collins & Percy Gibson received £380K for exclusive rights to photos of the 72-year-old bride’s wedding to her 39 year old beau in 2002.
Liza Minnelli & David Gest managed to land a £100K deal with OK! magazine for their 900 guest, £2m wedding in 2002.
Personally, I prefer Keith & Nicole’s approach. The couple, who wed earlier this year, release a single photo and asked magazines that used the photo to donate to their favorite charity – a children’s hospital. A later report though, revealed that MOST magazines failed to make any donation and those that did were minimal. I guess they should have gotten a contract and then donated the money:(
Taking themes to the extreme
Posted by Crystal in In The News, Real Weddings, Wedding Themes
I LOVE weddings – and all things wedding related. I spend a lot of time researching weddings, getting ideas, etc. I have seem some far out things but I have to admit, when this crossed my desk this morning, I was surprised. Not often do I see something so different that I can honestly say I have never seen anything like it before.
The bride, Murdanalee Hagedorn – went all out with her John Deere themed wedding – from logo printed bridesmaid gowns to logo printed ring pillows. The bride arrived at the ceremony on a hay wagon pulled by a john deere tractor. The groom, Roy Cate, arrived aboard a antique John Deere Tractor. The bridesmaids even wore rubber boots for this Walla Walla, Washington wedding.
While I am not sure I am a fan of those bridesmaid outfits – I have to admit: if unique and unforgetable is what she was going for, she hit the nail on the head.
