Putting a ring on it? The soaring, sugary tiers of cupcakes that, for several years, had deposed the formal wedding cake have finally been toppled themselves.

Riding the pony: Boho chic hit its peak last year, but no-fuss is still appealing. For a refreshingly low-maintenance alternative to updos impaled with a pound of bobbypins, long-haired brides have another, increasingly popular option: the ever-flattering (and versatile) ponytail.
