We are thrilled to introduce our awesome Aisle Perfect intern – Taelor. We fell in love with ‘TB’ the moment her resume hit our inbox. Taelor is a Junior at the University of Southern California (USC) majoring in Public Relations. She has brought a fresh perspective to the team and has really proven herself during her short time with us. As a fellow wedding enthusiast, we asked Taelor to share a few of her favorite wedding things. Enjoy!
The Ring: I am a huge fan of gold wedding rings, (rose gold, cushion cut, haloed, with a thin band, to be exact). I am always excited to see the AP Bling that comes our way on the site. Rings are usually, notice the emphasis on usually, the first step to planning your wedding, so it just gets me super excited for the rest of the wedding planning process!
Wedding Rehearsal Dinner/Engagement Party: I find myself thinking about wedding rehearsal dinners and engagement parties a lot. I feel like it’s a chance for the bride to be a little sexy and edgy before her big day. It is also a time for the bridal party and their closest friends and family to celebrate the couple before their big day, in a not so formal setting. Here are a couple of my favorite rehearsal dinner looks!
Bridesmaid Dresses: It is too often that I see bridesmaids in dresses that are unflattering and the women look miserable in them. I know I want my best friends to feel confident (and a little sexy) in their dresses on my wedding day. Here are a couple looks that make me drool…

Wedding Gowns: Simple and elegant wedding gowns are definitely my favorite. The anticipation of seeing the bride, the gasp of the crowd and the groom seeing the love of his life, is enough to me want to cry right now! So before I do that, some of my favorite designers are, J’Aton Couture, Inbal Dror and Katie May.
The First Dance: If you know me, you know I love music! Music can make or break any party or RECEPTION. The first dance and the song they choose to dance to tells so much about the couple, whether it’s a super sappy love song or a dance to MC Hammer’s “Can’t Touch This”, I love it all! Here are a couple of my favorite love songs for first dance song ideas:
You Are-Charlie Wilson
All of Me-John Legend
Here and Now-Luther Vandross
Crazy Girl-Eli Young Band
Simply Amazing-Trey Songz
All My Life-K-Ci & Jojo
At Last-Etta James
That Special Night: Honeymoons are so much fun! Nothing sounds better than travelling anywhere in the world with your honey. I also love lingerie! So here is a combo of a few of my favorite places and lingerie pieces.
