The bridal runways have been a bit of a fiesta as of late, as they’ve been positively teeming with a whole new slew of wedding dresses toting a stunning Spanish influence. ¿Por qué? you ask. Well, because the style is simply gorgeous, that’s why! Since the Fall 2016 bridal lines descended upon the runways a year ago, designers have been looking to Spain for inspiration and the too-die-for result is gowns with the added dimension of fantastic fringe, gotta-touch-it texture, and endless sex appeal. ¿Muy caliente, no?

Listen up señoritas, because we’ve rounded up the coolest, chicest, Spanish-inspired wedding dresses by some of our favorite bridal designers. From Vera Wang to Naeem Khan, these couturiers have crafted Spanish-influenced frocks as hot as the Barcelona summer sun and whether you’re throwing a sunny stateside bash or a destination wedding (in Spain coincidentally, perhaps?), wearing any of these daring dresses will instantly turn your soirée into a bonafide fiesta. Your hubby-to-be does know how to salsa, right?

So what are you waiting for? ¡Ándale! And add some Spanish spice to your bridal style with these fiesta-worthy frocks.

Congratulations are in order for The Young and the Restless costars Justin Hartley and Chrishell Stause! The actors announced that they are getting married, sharing the happy engagement news on Instagram over the weekend. And, spoiler, her engagement ring is just plain gorgeous.

After first confirming they were dating back in January 2014, Hartley, 39, and his 35-year-old costar Stause (née Terrina Chrishell Stause) have shared that they are taking their relationship to a new level, according to Just Jared. In true ring selfie-loving fashion, the soap opera star and bride-to-be took to social media to announce her exciting news.

“You guys think I need sunscreen..?… @justinhartley” she posted on Instagram, which was quickly followed by some emoji necessities when announcing your engagement — a diamond ring and heart eyes. The former All My Children actress then tweeted, “Such a happy time. Thanks for all the well wishes guys! So sweet,” after receiving excited fan replies regarding the announcement.

In the photo, her ring is on display front-and-center while she appears to be lounging on the beach, and it’s clear her hubby-to-be did some MAJ diamond research as it is quite the stunner! The new forever bling boasts a sparkly emerald-cut diamond with a pave band, and Stause was rocking light pink manicure with glittery nail tips. It’s unclear if Stausel already had her nails ready to go pre-proposal or if she got a fresh mani to show off her engagement ring, but either way, we need sunglasses for that rock.

The newly engaged TV stars both have lengthy resumes when it comes to their acting careers. Hartley has starred in quite the lineup of television shows, including Passions, Revenge, and Smallville. This fall, he’ll be featured in NBC’s much-awaited This is Us series about relationships and love, reports CBS8. His wife-to-be has also graced the small screen in numerous soap operas — All My Children Days of Our Lives, and The Young and the Restless being the most recent (she joined the cast in May 2016).

For Hartley, this will be a second marriage. The actor was previously married to his Passions co-star Lindsay Korman from 2004 to 2012 with whom he has a 12-year-old daughter. While it’s unclear if his ex approves of Hartley’s new love, his bride-to-be shared an interesting tidbit about her only run-in with his ex-wife. “My very first job ever, I was an extra on Passions for one day and it was a scene where [Lindsay’s] now husband [Justin] and another guy were fighting over her,” Chrishell said in an interview a few years ago, Just Jared dished in 2014. “I was slow dancing in the background, so technically I haven’t met her, but I have shared spaced with her.” Slightly awkward, but we’re hoping that everyone is as happy for the newly-engaged couple as we are. Congrats, you two; see below for photos of Stause’s stunning bling.

You may have done a great job of checking things off your pre-wedding to-do list and diffusing any problems that arose before the big day. But one thing you can’t always control is how your guests will act when they are at your wedding. Will they show up late? Drink too much? Get into a fight? Even worse? Whatever the case may be, here is a list of the seven major mistakes some of your wedding guests may make — so that there are no surprises.

1. Showing Up Late
Even though you added in some buffer time for when your ceremony actually starts, some guests will ignore the time and show up casually in the middle of the ceremony. To avoid distractions, have a sign on the door when the ceremony starts — asking late guests to wait outside.

2. Forgetting to RSVP
When it’s time to sit down and see who is actually coming to your wedding, you may notice a handful of guests haven’t RSVP’ed yet. You’ll want to track them down for an answer as soon as you can.

3. Posting Photos on Social Media Before the Wedding
Watch out for any iPhone cameras in your face before the wedding. You may have a guest or two that sees you before it’s time to walk down the aisle — and takes full advantage of that moment by posting it on Facebook prematurely.

4. Taking Full Advantage of the Open Bar
Ask the bartender to keep an eye out for any guests taking too many shots, too soon. You don’t want your open bar to be their excuse to get very drunk at your wedding.

5. Not Leaving Drama at the Door
One of your guests may have a messy tiff with another guest — and use your wedding as a place to try and hash out the situation. Remind them that this is not the time or the place.

6. Keeping Their Phones on Loud
You never know, you may be reading your vows to the background tune of someone’s ringtone blaring in the near distance.

7. Bringing an Uninvited Plus-One
Even though you didn’t give one of your guests a plus-one, they may still find the audacity to bring someone without asking or letting you know ahead of time. Have extra chairs around just in case.

This ballet dancer has become a bride! Congratulations are in order for Misty Copeland, who married Olu Evans — her boyfriend of 10 years (who also happens to be Taye Diggs’s cousin!) — on Sunday, July 31 in a Laguna Beach, California wedding.

The famed ballerina and her attorney love married at the Montage Hotel in Southern California in front of 100 guests, Us Weekly reports. Copeland donned a wedding dress by designer Inbal Dror — who is known for sexy, of-the-moment designs — and Christian Louboutin shoes. The pair said “I do” in a seaside wedding ceremony overlooking the ocean, surrounded by a (what we can only imagine) breathtaking display of pink hydrangeas and white roses.

There’s no word yet on the exact Inbal Dror gown Copeland wore on her wedding day, but lucky for you we dug into our coverage of the designer’s latest runway looks to see what kind of gown the ballet dancer might have selected.

“I would imagine Misty would want to show off her long ballerina neck and posture,” Correia advises, selecting these three wedding dresses from Inbal Dror’s Fall 2016 collection as likely looks for the famous bride.

Perhaps Copeland selected this long sleeved deep V-neck wedding dress, which is layered with Chantilly lace and point d’esprit tulle and adorned with delicate pearl and crystal beading.

Or maybe the ballerina went with this lace and point d’esprit tulle wedding dress, which includes dramatic wing sleeves and small crystal and pearl beading adornments.

If Copeland wanted to show off her killer ballet dancer legs, she might have gone with this short crochet lace wedding dress, which features a high-low hemline and long sleeves.

While these are just guesses, we do have pretty good intel on the kind of wedding dress Copeland was looking for. “I’d like to show my figure, somewhat — romantic and elegant,” she told Vanity Fair last year as part of their International Best-Dressed List feature.

“I don’t think I want to go super poofy or anything like that. It’s very different for a performer, a ballerina, someone who is onstage a lot and wears big costumes. So it’s not like this is my chance to be that way, because that’s something I do every day, almost. I want to feel like myself — but more beautiful than I do every day.”

Copeland and Evans announced their engagement last August, just a few months after the wildly popular dancer was named the first African American principal dancer in the American Ballet Theater. In the September 2015 issue of Essence, Copeland, who appeared on the cover, confirmed that she was set to wed her now-husband. “I can’t believe my life right now,” she told the magazine.

They’ve said their vows, kissed their first kiss, and danced their first dance — and it’s that last one we’re most excited about considering the bride’s killer moves! Dancing with the Stars pro Kym Johnson and Shark Tank star Robert Herjavec are officially married, having tied the knot over the weekend in a gorgeous Beverly Hills wedding. And from Johnson’s to-die-for wedding dress to their first dance song, we’ve got all of the couple’s big day details. Just trust us on this: Their serious ballroom skills are going to make you want to force your hubby-to-be to take pre-wedding dancing lessons!

After appearing together on season 20 of Dancing with the Stars (Johnson ended up being Herjavec’s pro partner!), the reality TV pair fell madly in love. And while they may sashayed away from the ABC hit without the infamous disco ball trophy, we think the dazzling diamond engagement ring Johnson made off with was a pretty nice consolation prize! After a short, five-month engagement, the pirouetting pair finally tied the knot Sunday evening at the Fours Seasons in Beverly Hills, California, according to People magazine.

Johnson previously teased us with a wedding dress design that she promised to be far simpler than the glittery, glitzy minidresses she normally performs in, and her gorgeous gown definitely didn’t disappoint. The bride stunned in a strapless Monique Lhuillier ballgown, free of any sparkly embellishment for a look that was clean and classic, but made modern with voluminous tiered skirt. Johnson walked down the aisle with both of her parents in tow and clutching a bouquet of white blooms as “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” played in the background. “I hope I can speak and that I’m not sobbing with happiness,” the bride said ahead of the big day. “I’m sure I’ll be overcome with emotion.”

Meanwhile, we were overcome with emotion when we heard about the newlyweds’ first dance (see below) — particularly a feeling that made us want to get up and groove! Johnson and Herjavec actually performed not one, but two dances for their guests (who included DWTS alum Joey Fatone, Lance Bass, and Donny Osmond!).

According to Us Weekly, their first first dance was to Etta James’ “At Last,” with the couple doing a classic waltz to the ultra-romantic number. Then, the pair’s bridal party also hit the dance floor to join the couple in a group dance to LunchMoney Lewis’ “Bills” — a song that’s particularly special to the newlyweds. The 2015 hit was actually the first song Herjavec and Johnson ever danced together back during their DWTS days.

And if you ask us, their bridal boogie definitely would’ve scored a perfect ten!

Money. It’s probably the least fun part of planning a wedding but one of the most important details to figure out early on. While the big ticket stuff is easy to consider — the venue, wedding dress, catering and alcohol, photography, entertainment, flowers and décor — there are plenty of smaller, less obvious expenses that can really add up and impact your wedding budget in a big way. Here are the small

Paper Goods
You may only account for your wedding invitations in your paper goods budget, but don’t forget save the dates, seating charts, escort cards, programs, menus, signage, welcome letters, reception directions, favor tags, and the list goes on, notes Alex Taylor of Taylor’d Events Group.

Props and Favors
Skip any favors that can’t be consumed, says Heather Jones of Wente Vineyards. And if you’re thinking of having baskets full of blankets, flip-flops or sunglasses for guests, just realize that you don’t need one for every single person. The same principle goes for the photo booth and kids’ tables. Try not to overbuy props and toys. It’s just not necessary.

Videography
Most couples make room in the budget for photography, but Kevin Dennis of Fantasy Sound Event Services knows from experience that videography is oftentimes a last-minute expense. What some might consider an unnecessary add-on at first eventually becomes a must after seeing a friend’s wedding footage.

Postage and Shipping
Think of every single item that needs to make its way to your wedding site. Add to that every save the date and invitation that needs postage. The transit costs are not insignificant, and that’s especially true for destination weddings. Megan Velez of Destination Weddings Travel Group says shipping and handling can be so expensive, you may want to consider DIY décor or bringing stuff with you in a suitcase.

Cake Cutting and Corkage Fees
Yes, you will probably be charged for having your cake cut if it’s provided by someone other than the vendor. And you may also have to shell out for serving someone else’s alcohol, says Stephanie Aspinwall of Pretty Entertaining.

Service Charges and Sales Tax
When you’re told the meal cost per guest, it usually doesn’t include the service charge or sales tax. In Aspinwall’s Washington, D.C. region, that can add up to 22% service charge + 6% sales tax. She recommends always asking about extra fees upfront.

Hair and Makeup Trials
They say nothing in life is free, and that goes for hair and makeup trials. Aspinwall says that some artists will deduct the trial fee from the total bill if the client books them, but others don’t. Regardless, take into consideration how many trials you can actually afford.

Vendor Meals
Aspinwall also recommends reading each vendor’s contract carefully to see if or how many meals are required. Some caterers charge less for vendor meals, just be sure to ask.

Gratuities
Tips are always optional but certainly expected for satisfactory service. It may or may not be part of the contract, so don’t forget to account for all vendors at the end of the night, Aspinwall adds.

Pro Tip? Have a Contingency Plan
Recent bride Audrey Gilani of OFD Consulting says that squirreling away a few hundred dollars is a good idea as part of a contingency plan. And if you really want to give yourself wiggle room, then aim for 5% of the overall budget. This will come in handy for any last-minute additions, like sides for your tent if the forecast calls for rain.

This is it… The final countdown to your big day. And along with settling those last few details — figuring out where to seat your eccentric Uncle Carl, firming up the flowers, deciding on your first dance song — you’re likely also making one last push to make sure the body that will be wearing that gorgeous white gown looks as good as it possibly can. You and nearly every other woman with an engagement ring on her finger. In fact, research shows that an overwhelming 91 percent of brides-to-be are anxious about their weight. But from here on out, you won’t have to be!

Whether you want to drop those last few pounds or look more toned — or both — we’ve got a month’s worth of daily tips (none of which require starving yourself or working out nonstop!) that will help you feel stunning and confident when you walk down that aisle. You know where to send the thank-you card. Let’s get started!

Day 1: Switch Up Your Strength Routine

Why are we suggesting you rock the boat on day one of our challenge? Because odds are you’ve been doing the same moves for months — and here’s the thing…the human body is supremely good at adapting to whatever crunches or squats we throw at it, and after about 4 to 6 weeks, you’re going to stop getting results.

“It’s one of the biggest mistakes I see women making,” says Beverly Hills-based celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson, who famously got Kim Kardashian ready for her wedding to Kanye West. “You’ve got to keep shaking things up!”

He recommends swapping in multi-muscle exercises that target several groups at the same time — like woodchops, squats with a shoulder press, and lunges with a biceps curl. “They give you much more bang for your buck because they work your upper and lower body muscles, as well as your core at the same time, so you’ll burn more calories and get more done in less time than if you were standing there just doing biceps curls,” he says. “You’ll also build more lean tissue which you want because it will not only change your shape and make you look more defined, it also drives metabolism, so you’ll burn calories at a faster rate all day, every day.”

Why plan a single girls’ night out for your bachelorette BFF when you can plan an entire getaway? And if the bride-to-be in question is a yogi (aspiring, accomplished, or otherwise!), adding a little bit of zen to the trip is a no-brainer. Getting your Warrior II on doesn’t mean you can’t have a totally indulgent escape, too, so here are three yoga retreats—with some serious other goodies thrown in!—that you won’t want to miss.
