Battle of the Wedding Designers!



Looking for something to watch on the tube? You might want to check out the premier of the "Battle of the Wedding Designers." It airs tonight at 10pm ET on TLC. The series challenges three top-notch designers to create the ideal wedding with limited budgets and limited details. In each episode one couple will share their love story, dream wedding and budget. After that, it's up to the designers to plan every detail and show-off their ideas. Then, the couple will figure out whose plans are best and choose the person to design their wedding day. Should be fun!
