It’s no secret that this season’s hottest hues were neon brights — so when The Blush editors spotted rich burgundy, mulberry and wine lips on the fall 2012 runways, it threw us off (in a good way). While this intense shade might be a bit heavy for a summer soirée, we think it’d be more fitting for an evening affair in the colder months.

So tell us: would you wear this daring hue on your wedding day? Head over to our sister site to find out how to get the look!

While Jessica Biel recently admitted she’s done “almost nothing” to plan her wedding, Celebbuzz exclusively reports that the Total Recall actress and her fiancé Justin Timberlake have actually settled on a venue. Rumors say the couple is getting married at Yellowstone Club in Big Sky, Montana — the same luxury ski and golf hub that set the scene for their intimate engagement party of 40 close friends and family members.

With its cozy lodge feel and sweeping views, the 13,450 square-foot resort seems fitting for Jessica and Justin, who’ve been know to enjoy adventurous outdoor getaways — the two even got engaged at another mountaintop locale in neighboring Wyoming. Plus, it’s home — albeit one of many — for Justin, who owns property at the members-only compound (A-listers, like Leonardo DiCaprio and Bradley Cooper are also said to frequent the five-star resort as well).

So now that we’ve got the venue scoop, all that’s left to reveal is Jessica’s dress! Us Weekly already dished that celeb favorite Monique Lhuillier is her top choice — we’re thinking she’ll want to show off her famously-toned figure with a cinched waist or draped back (or both!).

With news of Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied’s secret nuptials this past weekend, we’re taking cues from the couple’s natural wedding details for this week’s Knot Shop Pick of the Week. It’s been revealed that Natalie and Benjamin sent guests off with a packet of wildflower seeds — and lucky for us, The Knot Shop has plenty of plantable options. Our pick? These flower-shaped seeded paper favors, which come in a pail (for optional display purposes) and can be personalized with your names and wedding date. But most importantly, guests can soil and water them to grow their own gorgeous wildflowers.

After getting married to his music producer boyfriend in New York last year, Malaysia’s first openly-gay pastor Rev. Ngeo Boon Lin finally carried out his vow to host a wedding banquet in his native country Saturday, reportedly making it the first event of its kind in the predominantly Muslim country.

The Associated Press reports that Lin, who is Chinese-Malaysian, and his American husband Phineas Newborn III gathered about 200 close friends and family members for a Chinese wedding feast in Kuala Lumpur. Guests enjoyed heart-shaped chocolates wrapped in notes that read “God loves gays,” and listened to karaoke performances throughout the night.

The event closely follows recent reports of Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak’s statements declaring that gay, lesbian and transgender culture should “not have any place in this country.”

“We’re thankful to be able to make Malaysian history here,” Newborn told the Associated Press.

Congrats to Ngeo and Phineas for making waves on behalf of the LGBT community in Malaysia!
