Women's apparel chain makes a big move toward men
A shaky economy might not prevent people from getting married, but it may prompt them to streamline their wedding planning. That's yet another tough break for the wedding industry, which was severely impacted by the Covid pandemic. After all, social distancing pushed the pause button on wedding guests doing the Cha Cha Slide on dance floors for a long while. But one thing remains for many couples in love: They want to do everything possible to ensure their special day goes off without a hitch. Related: Top luxury fashion brands just made a quiet change About half (52%) of engaged couples start planning their wedding a year ahead, according to The Knot 2025 Real Wedding Study, which surveyed 17,000 U.S. couples who got married in 2024 and a number who plan to this year. After all, there's a lot that goes into putting together a memorable event. Plus, couples want to look as good as they feel on their special day. And that means making room in their budget for the perfect wedding wardrobe. Now a well-known brand in the space has just made it a bit easier. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Image source: Getty Images David's Bridal has just revealed its partnership with Generation Tux, a tuxedo and suit rental shop, as an exclusive in-store shop-in-shop for menswear. The goal is to create a one-stop location offering great deals to outfit the entire wedding party. "Through our partnership with Generation Tux, we know we are offering the highest-quality product to our customers, and doing it at the best possible prices," David's Bridal's President Elina Vilk said in a statement. "For over 70 years, brides have trusted us to ensure they feel beautiful on their big day. We're ready and excited to offer the same to grooms online and exclusively in 10 select stores, with more to come." Related: Popular women's retailer closing 30% of its stores The Knot study said 90% of couples' wedding planning takes place online. That impressive stat points to the fact that couples want convenience as they prepare for their big days. Yet even in the age of e-commerce, many brides also want to "say yes to the dress" in person. By partnering with Generation Tux, David's Bridal is now extending the same courtesy to grooms. Unlike weddings of the past, where it was believed to be bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the ceremony, over three-quarters of surveyed couples who married in 2024 shared a "first look" before the ceremony, according to Brides. David's Bridal and Generation Tux appear to be capitalizing on this trend by inviting couples to shop together at the same store. Related: Another popular furniture retailer files Chapter 11 bankruptcy "We're thrilled to partner with David's Bridal to offer a seamless, head-to-toe wedding style experience for couples and their wedding parties," said Generation Tux President Jason Jackson. More Retail: Walmart CEO sounds alarm on a big problem for customersTarget makes a change that might scare Walmart, CostcoTop investor takes firm stance on troubled retail brandWalmart and Costco making major change affecting all customers In addition to the Generation Tux partnership, David's Bridal is rolling out a new store concept called Diamonds & Pearls, which will offer a more exclusive selection of merchandise that isn't available at other stores. The concept will debut in Delray Beach, Florida, with plans to expand. The company's new offerings come after it declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy in April 2023 with nearly $260 million in debt. It was acquired three months later by Cion Investment Corp., which lowered the retailer's debts to around $50 million and aimed to maintain up to 195 locations- and keep around 7,000 employees in their jobs. It wasn't the first time David's Bridal needed to take such measures. It also filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy back in November 2018. A restructuring plan helped revive it, but like many other retailers, it wasn't prepared for the pandemic. Time will tell whether these new endeavors will bring about the happily-ever-after the bridal retailer has been hoping for.

Dangerous 'Chromebook Challenge' Across US Schools Sparks Warning
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A dangerous trend has emerged on social media platforms, including TikTok, called the "Chromebook challenge," in which students intentionally try to set their laptops on fire. Why It Matters TikTok trends typically involve dances and filters, but sometimes, dangerous challenges emerge on the platform, as people can gamble with pranks and stunts in the name of going viral. Previous years have seen users swerving their cars as they follow instructions from the "Cha Cha Slide" and the so-called Benadryl challenge, which encouraged TikTok users to take excessive amounts of the medication to try to experience a high that could cause hallucinations, leading to the Food and Drug Administration asking TikTok to remove the videos. What To Know The "Chromebook Challenge" involves school students inserting items like paper clips or pencils into the USB port of their Chromebook laptop. This causes the Chromebooks to short-circuit, leaving them sparking, smoking or catching on fire. Sticking a foreign object into a Chromebook can burn a lithium battery, causing the computer to catch on fire and release toxic smoke into the air. The challenge is associated with the phrase and audio "The F Students are the inventors." Students often use it to create a reason for the class to have to evacuate, meaning they miss school, or to get attention online. File photo of Chromebooks at Newfield Elementary School in Stamford, Connecticut, on August 31, 2020. File photo of Chromebooks at Newfield Elementary School in Stamford, Connecticut, on August 31, TikTok video, viewed 2.6 million times as of reporting, shows a charred Chromebook with a hole in it, with the text overlay "TS ain't even a Chromebook anymore," and the caption "Get me out of this school." The trend has impacted school districts all over the country, with reports of incidents in Colorado, New York, Connecticut, California, Texas, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Maryland, Virginia and Florida. Some school districts have had multiple reports of incidents related to the challenge, with the Prince George's County Public Schools district in Maryland confirming it has up to 10 reported incidents, per NBC Washington. A spokesperson for TikTok told Newsweek that they are removing videos, limiting search ability and redirecting searches. As of this reporting, the term "Chromebook Challenge" redirects to a safety warning on TikTok. Other school districts are issuing preliminary warnings about potential participation in the challenge despite no reported incidents. What People Are Saying A safety warning on TikTok that's generated when you search for Chromebook Challenge: "This phrase may be associated with behavior or content that violates our guidelines. Promoting a safe and positive experience is TikTok's top priority." Maryland's Office of the State Fire Marshal, in a statement shared on Facebook on Friday: "The Office of the State Fire Marshal is alerting the public to a concerning new trend circulating on social media. Students insert electrically conductive objects into the charging ports of school-issued and personal electronic devices. This reckless behavior has been linked to several incidents resulting in fires, smoke, and property damage." The Jefferson-Morgan School District, in a statement shared on Facebook on May 8: "A dangerous and disturbing social media trend that has been reported in school districts across the country. While we have not had any incidents here at Jefferson-Morgan, we believe it is important to make families aware so we can work together to prevent it. What Happens Next Students participating in the challenge could face serious disciplinary action. A teenager from Belleville High School in New Jersey was charged with third-degree arson for participating in the trend, and there are reports that a student in Plainville, Connecticut, is facing charges, according to news station KWTX.

Next Level Wedding Entertainment Trends That Will Guarantee a Show-Stopping Celebration
If you're planning a wedding this year and hoping your guests out of their chairs and onto the dance floor to celebrate, these days it takes more than the Cupid Shuffle and Cha Cha Slide. Moving beyond standard DJs and traditional wedding bands, the latest wedding entertainment trends focus on immersive, interactive, and customized experiences that showcase couples' distinctive personalities. We spoke to eight wedding experts and artists to help you find the most exciting entertainment trends to consider embracing for your big day. Bookmark this guide to learn the most innovative ways to entertain your guests! Instead of choosing a DJ or a musician, why not embrace the best of both worlds? Couples are opting for hybrid music productions that help create a lively and dynamic ambiance that cater to varied musical tastes. 'One of the more recent trends we've noticed is the development of a hybrid music production,' declares Daniel Scocco, DJ and founder of Baroque Agency. 'Rather than creating a dilemma among the choice of live bands or a DJ, modern weddings have been adopting a hybrid set, including both forms of entertainment. With the DJ acting as the true maestro of the party, they're backed by a group of real instruments and musicians.' When it comes to the type of musician to support the DJ, instrumentalists such as electric violinists, modern saxophonists, and harpists have become very popular. 'Violin has always been a popular instrument for wedding ceremonies, but recently, couples have been asking to include electric violin for their dance parties,' adds Natalie Wiegand, a Venice-based electric violinist, founder of ViolinVibez and co-founder of duo Elektric Heart. 'I typically coordinate with the wedding DJ to do a surprise performance (or a few) throughout the evening. Live instruments are a great way to make the dance party even more interactive and special.' One standout entertainment trend is the inclusion of live wedding painters. It adds a nostalgic, romantic charm to the celebration and the final painting becomes a keepsake for the couple. 'Live wedding painters capture moments in real-time—whether it's the couple's first dance or the ceremony itself—onto canvas as guests watch the artwork come to life,' states Reshma Ramaiah, director of US operations and co-founder of Resh&Co. 'More than just entertainment, it's an emotional experience for everyone present, and guests love witnessing a unique piece of art unfolding before their eyes.' More weddings are featuring awe-inspiring performances by speciality artists such as acrobatic dancers, magicians, and themed greeters. 'While specialty entertainment is certainly not taking the place of musical entertainment, couples are embracing immersive and personalized entertainment. Popular talents include themed greeters, fire dancers for beach celebrations, living statues, musical enhancements, and even acts such as magicians,' mentions Brittny Drye, wedding expert and editor-in-chief of Love Inc. Magazine. 'To keep it from feeling forced, select specialty acts with intention. And timing is key. You don't want to pile one right after the other. Sprinkle them throughout the evening. Your guests will appreciate the surprise and delight.' For destination weddings, couples are choosing local performers and celebratory rituals to entertain their guests. 'As a unique experience for wedding receptions, we offer the Kagami Biraki ceremony,' says Mariko Isono, wedding planner for Park Hyatt Kyoto, 'In ancient Japan, warriors performed the Kagami Biraki ceremony to raise morale and inspire each other before heading to battle. This ritual involves the lid of a sake barrel ceremonially broken open with wooden mallets, symbolizing a new beginning and good fortune. After the lid is broken, the sake is shared with all guests in a communal celebration.' Firework displays are being elevated with high-tech drone shows, crafting a spectacular display for guests. 'Custom drone shows are a big wedding entertainment trend right now. Recent wedding guests had a drone show with over 100 synchronized drones that created the brides and groom's alma matters, puppies, and personal passions in the sky over the resort – it was truly jaw-dropping,' remarks Pamela Wolter, director of sales at The Resort at Pelican Hill. Couples today don't just want a dance floor. They want a multi-sensory journey where music and visual storytelling come together to showcase their love story in real time. 'One trend we're especially excited about is a hologram act, curated to be truly one-of-a-kind and irreplaceable. This 3D visual experience is meticulously choreographed to stay in perfect sync with audio and lighting, creating a surreal, immersive performance that leaves guests in awe. It's not just entertainment, it's a moment of magic,' says DJ AJ (Arjun Shah). Brides and grooms who love music festivals are creating a festival-like experience for their guests. They are spending on elaborate light and sound systems to craft a 'wedding rave' ambiance. 'Another trend I've noticed has been to create your own 'wedding rave.' I've seen couples splurge on big lighting and laser setups and also requesting the DJs move away from more traditional wedding DJ playlists to play more dance tracks or fun remixes of their favorite songs,' adds electric violinist Natalie Wiegand. 'Last year, I was DJing a wedding in Palm Springs for a couple who love house and techno music. They mentioned that they were big fans of the Boiler Room series. So, we decided to get creative and turned the whole dancefloor into a Boiler Room-like set up with the DJ console in the middle of the dancefloor and guests all around it,' says Zorawar Shukla, DJ and CEO of Desi Beat Collective. 'They even streamed it live for all their friends and family around the world. It was truly a one-of-a-kind experience!'

Lulus Promising reviews:"This dress required zero alterations, comes with a built-in bra, and is made of a bit thicker of a material. Very high quality and well made!" — Taylor A. "The quality of the material, fit, and color are perfect! I love the dress so much that I ordered it in magenta, also. The top is so supportive that no bra is needed. Would highly recommend!!" — Hannah C. Price: $69 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and in three colors) 23. A backless ruched maxi you'll love because it's A) Stunning and B) the perfect way to showoff your hair-pinned up-do. Lulus Price: $79 (available in sizes XS–XL and in two colors) 24. A slinky knit midi as genuinely beautiful as it is comfortable. No itchy fabric here! Just a blessedly stretchy, snug-up-top, comfy-on-bottom design that won't have you second guessing your ability to go down low all the way to the floor. (Cha-cha real smooth.) Lulus Promising review:"I love the color! The material is nice. Style is super cute!" — Cynnamon D. Price: $65 (available in sizes XS–XL and in two colors) 25. A linen off-the-shoulder midi with an elegant silhouette and the easy-breezy comfort and look of linen. Perfect for a wide range of wedding styles from super casual to heckin' elegant. Lulus Promising review:"Perfect beach wedding guest dress. The silhouette of this dress gave it a formal look but the linen material added a more casual component making it perfect for almost any occasion. Also super comfortable!" — Ava T. Price: $69 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in six colors) 26. A stunning tiered ruffle dress if you want a lively maxi to add to your guest outfit lineup. Imagine how much fun you'll have twirling for photos with your besties and how great you'll look holding sparklers at the sendoff! Lulus Promising review:"Bought this dress on a whim, thinking it would be a dress that looks better online than in person. Oh my, how I was wrong!!! This dress is so beautiful and made of great and heavy material. So excited to wear!" — Clinique P. Price: $55.20 (originally $118; available in sizes XXS–XXL and in four colors) 27. And finally, a satin goddess-style one-shoulder maxi you're gonna want to hold space for in your heart and in your closet, because this showstopper is going to get you so many compliments at the next shindig you attend. Lulus Promising review:"I love the lime green color, and the dress fits true to size. It flows, so it drapes my body quite nicely. I love solid-colored clothing, and then there's a touch of gold (a gold ring) on the shoulder, which blends in nicely. All in all, a lovely dress!" — Feyi C Price: $63.20 (originally $79; available in sizes XS–XXL and in three colors) Reviews in this post have been edited for length and/or clarity.
