Back in October I wrote about a site called Bloglines.com that I use to keep me up to date with all the wedding industry news on a daily basis. I highlighted the ease with which it is possible for me to read various stories without having to visit the actual web sites if I don’t want to. This all happens due to the magic of RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds, certainly every blog has such a feed – though not all web sites do. This might not be news to everyone, but for those brides discovering it for the first time you will certainly enjoy the luxury of having all your news in one place.

One site I am always excited to hear the latest news from is the Wedding Podcast Network (WPN), at WeddingPodcastNetwork.com, run by husband and wife team Robert Allen and Holli Ehrlich. They provide an alternative to mainstream wedding planning advice in a portable, on-demand format you can listen to where ever you are. WPN allows brides and grooms to easily listen to advice on wedding planning and obtain valuable information in an entertaining and educational format that can be downloaded to an iPod, MP3 player, mobile phone or on the computer free of charge. I love the idea of downloadable audio giving me the opportunity to control which specific wedding programs I hear, when, and even where.

Robert Allen, WPN co-founder and executive producer says:

“We wanted to establish an authoritative resource for brides and grooms that are planning their wedding, but realize they have busy lives, whether they are commuting to work, working out at the gym or running errands. Wedding Podcast Network is like listening to wedding talk radio on-demand on your iPod or computer.”

Robert and Holli offer not only authoritative but also entertaining and fun shows to listen to. You can keep copies of your favourite shows and play them over and over again.

Katie Holmes has been seeking help on how to get rid of her post-baby bulge before her wedding to Tom Cruise. As well as receiving tips from her celebrity friend Victoria Beckham on how to regain her figure after giving birth, new mum Katie has also sought out help from a company called Buff Brides.

Buff Brides run training programmes to help brides-to-be get in shape for their big day. The original concept comes from the book "Buff Brides" written by Sue Fleming. Sue Fleming says that,

“Brides-to-be are the most committed clients I’ve ever had. They’re motivated, they’re focused, they’re ready. In this society, we’ve been brought up to believe that the most important occasion of a woman’s life is her wedding. On that day, all eyes are on the bride.”

Its not just Katie Holmes who is anxious about her pre-wedding figure. Many brides-to-be are worried about looking their best on their wedding day and also want to be in great shape for their honeymoon. Buff Brides provides them with wedding workout guides in the run up to their big day through a 24 week fitness program or a 12 week crash course training program. Last year the Discovery Network made a reality show based on the "Buff Brides" book and fitness program. Television cameras charted the progress of several brides-to-be as they transformed their wobbly bits in anticipation of their wedding day!
