Making the wedding season worth it

There are a number of things you ought to settle while planning for your wedding like the wedding dresses, bridesmaids dresses, entertainment for your guests, cost of renting the reception venues, seats and others before thinking of your honeymoon. Why is this vital? Oh that is simple; even if you are on a tight budget or you do not have enough money to cater for the most luxurious honeymoons, you must ensure that you do just enough to keep your guests comfortable and happy on your wedding day. No one needs to know how much you will pay for your honeymoon trip but the physical things on display like your wedding dresses, entertainment and general comfort given them on the day must be paid heed to.I have always been a fan of; “Ensure you have sufficient money before fixing the wedding” and this lesson was inspired by certain experiences I had in the past. I attended a wedding one time that the couple were expecting to receive money from the wedding gifts and presents from friends and family to settle the bills that accrued. The designer that made the wedding dresses was not paid, neither was the cake designer nor the wedding planner. So all through the event, the groom looked distracted and disturbed as though he was trying to figure out how to settle the bills with the poor turnout of people. That rule is simple; “Be ready before you fix the dates”.

For many brides, their sights are on the honeymoon. Where would it be? Would it be as romantic as in the movies? What is it going to be like? Your honeymoon period should be fun filled and even if you do not have the money to take her to the Caribbean, make the time worthwhile. In the true stance of things, if you judged based on the origin, honeymoon might not have as much excitement as it generates nowadays. It is believed that the word ‘honeymoon’ originated from the word ‘hjunottsmanathr’. Try pronouncing that and you will realize that all of a sudden, it does not seem as appealing anymore.

Ancient history tells that honeymoon involved abducting a bride from a nearby village and the snatcher keeps his ‘bride’ in hiding for a period of time. His friends and close relations maybe could be aware of this ‘hideout’ while the girl’s family starts searching for her. When they are done with their fruitless search, the groom will return to his family with his catch.

Northern Europeans believe that the word stood for the first 30 days of this couple’s union. They would spend it far afar from ‘disturbances’ from family or friends and will within this first month, drink a wine called mead. These practices date back to the 433 to 453 AD.

For me, I could interpret it to mean that ‘sweet’ (honey is sweet) ‘period’ (a moon can be set to be time frame) newly wedded couples spend all to themselves consummating their love for each other.

HOW TO DRESS FOR YOUR BODY TYPE

We are totally obsessed with Fall 2013 Collection. One of the things we love about it is that they have a dress that is perfect for every shape, size, and style in your bridal party! As you know, we believe that finding the best bridesmaid dress doesn’t have to be difficult or stressful. In fact, we think the experience should be the opposite: fun! When you begin your search, start by taking the time to get to know what styles work best for your body type. Here we use our favorite dresses to break it down for you.

Focus on your strengths rather than your flaws. If you have a beautiful back, choose a dress like that is pictured above. If you have an awesome chest, but feel insecure about your stomach, try an empire waist dress such as the green halter maxi that is above. Empire waist dresses also look great on apple-shaped, full-figured, and pregnant women. Ladies who are pear shaped or have straight bodies, should look for dresses with a cinched waist and delicate detailing — check out the taupe that’s show above. It’s just what we’re talking about!

You can also use your bridesmaid dress to conceal a certain body part. Legs can be hidden by a long maxi dress like the black full length dress above left. A butt can be covered with a full skirt like navy strapless above middle. Conceal a large bust with a boat neck dress. We love the black dress that’s above because it has a boat neck and netting — ideal for covering up.

Remember when shopping for your body type that size is just a number. Cut the tag out if it bothers you and never underestimate the power of body shapers like Spanx!

How to Choose Between Wedding Veil Styles

There are many theories on the origin of the wedding veil, and they differ between cultures. Some say bridal veils were used to hide the bride from evil spirits or other suitors; others argue a veil was only a status symbol. Today, a wedding veil is simply a fashion accessory used to complement the dress and distinguish the bride. Fashion has evolved over time, resulting in many different options for wedding veil styles.

Different wedding veil styles complement different bridal gowns.
Make sure that the style of your veil matches the style of your dress. This is perhaps the most important tip for choosing between wedding veil styles. If your dress has an informal or vintage design, then a birdcage veil may work perfectly for you. The birdcage veil gets its name from the netting material it’s made from, which resembles a cage. If your gown is formal, traditional, or your wedding is particularly religious, a cathedral veil may be fitting. If your dress boasts a dramatic train, the length and splendor of a cathedral veil could be the perfect complement.

Personalize bridal veils by adding details.
Your veil can be used to add pizzazz to a simple gown. Adorning your veil with a tiara creates a regal look. The addition of beading or ribbon trim to your veil is another way to add a personal touch. We love when brides ask a seamstress to add lace or other inherited adornments to their bridal veils as their ‘something old.’ The options are endless!

The best bridal veils are beautiful and comfortable.
More important than the look of your veil is how you feel in it. When shopping, you should always try different wedding veil styles on while wearing your gown to find one that fits comfortably and suits your dress. Also, if you are wearing a blusher veil that covers your face, you may want to test it with your makeup on to make sure nothing rubs off onto the delicate fabric.
