Wedding Hairstyles

One of the most important aspects of a woman’s wedding ensemble is her hair. It’s no secret that all women experience bad hair days and if one of these happens to appear on the day she is set to marry her one and only, it can spell disaster. That’s why it is imperative for any woman planning a walk down the aisle to experiment with wedding hairstyles before the big day arrives. This way she’ll know exactly how she’ll look and there won’t be any surprises.

If you have a regular stylist you visit for cuts and colors he or she should be your choice when it comes to choosing wedding hairstyles. They understand the texture and thickness of your hair and can suggest a style that complements the shape of your face. It’s really important to bring any headpiece, such as a veil or flowers to the stylist so they can incorporate that into the hairstyle.

Starting this a few weeks before the actual day of the ceremony is a good idea. You want to have time to consider the wedding hairstyles they show you and if you aren’t all that fond of them, there will still be ample time to experiment with others. Explain to your stylist any preferences you may have including whether or not you envision your hair upswept or perhaps long and straight.

Extensions can completely change the look of a bride. If you have short hair but have always imagined long locks for your wedding day, consider asking the stylist about clip-in hair extensions. These can be easily added to your existing hair to create luxurious and elegant wedding hairstyles. Many salons sell clip-in hair extensions and if you choose the human hair variety they can actually be colored to a shade very close to your own hue which makes them look even more natural.

Simple, casual weddings often call for a more relaxed style. When a person marries on a beach or in a garden, you’ll sometimes see them choosing a simple dress and suit as opposed to a long, flowing gown and a tuxedo. The wedding hairstyles should also reflect this and in this case the bride may want to handle her hair herself. As long as she leaves herself enough time to apply make-up and dress before the ceremony this can work out well.

The one thing you really don’t want to ever do is try a new style the day of the wedding. This is also the case with coloring your hair. The stress from the big day can actually affect your body chemistry enough to interfere with the coloring process. Instead, plan out your hairstyle for the wedding, days if not weeks, in advance to guarantee you have a good hair day on the most important day of your life.

Wedding Dress Designers

When shopping for your wedding dress, you have a huge selection before you in almost any store. I know that there are a lot of practical people like me who do not care who might make our dress as long as it is what we want. On the other hand though, there are those who must have a well known wedding dress designers for theirs. There is really nothing wrong with either preference, but you do have to be practical. You do want to find the dress of your dreams, but can you afford it?

A very good friend of mine had to have a dress made by famous wedding dress designers. When she told me how much money she paid for her dress, I remember feeling faint. I think she paid more for her dress than I paid for my entire wedding. She could afford wedding dress designers however, because her parents are very well off and they paid for everything for her. If you are lucky enough to have this, and your parents are willing, then there should be no reason why you can’t get whatever dress you want.

There are some girls who dream of buying from wedding dress designers, but they should never do more than dream. I have another friend who is not as lucky as the first girl I mentioned, but she felt that she wanted to get something from wedding dress designers from her own wedding. She did what I would never do. She took out a rather sizable loan to pay for the dress. That was five years ago and she is still making very painful payments on a dress that she wore one day.

We all have dreams about our wedding, but reality will smack you in the face after the honeymoon if you are not careful. Though it seems romantic and important before the wedding, when the wedding is over you are left with some great photos, great memories, and a huge bill you have to pay. If you bought a gown done by wedding dress designers, and took out a loan to do so, you are going to regret your decision. There are more important things to spend your money on, but most girls won’t listen. Just think about it. You will do what you want, but at least give yourself one chance to talk yourself out of it. Wedding dress designers make great dresses, but they aren’t the only game in town.

Wedding Wishes

When you get married, there are going to be many who want to offer you wedding wishes for a happy and long marriage. Though there are common ways to do this, there are more unusual ways that you can allow them to do so. It will be up to you and your wedding party to decide what you want to do. Most use the common guestbook, but that does not leave a lot of room for extra things. Usually this just contains the names and addresses of those who attended. Some guests want to say more.

They always get to leave you wedding wishes in the cards they give with their gifts. However, there are other ways they can leave these that are more accessible to you. You can’t really go home and hang a hundred different cards on your wall, and even if you did, you wouldn’t leave them up for very long. There are some who like to buy large poster sized boards to have framed. They place a photo of the couple in the center, and they then leave a pen so that guests can leave their wedding wishes on the board. This is always a huge hit, and the couple can hang the finished and framed board in their home for years to come.

Wedding Wishes Envelope Guest Book

Others like to take the same idea as this, but they put it into a quilt. This one is a lot more work, but it will look great when it is finished. They leave quilt squares out of the guests. Though these are harder to write on, and you have to have the right type of pen or marker to use, many will do the best they can with it anyway. When the big day is over, the wedding wishes on the quilt squares can then be made into a quilt to give to the newly weds. This quilt can be done in the wedding colors, which is a nice extra touch.

Wedding Cakes You Can Make: Designing, Baking, and Decorating the Perfect Wedding Cake



Wedding Cakes

If you are getting married soon, you have so much to do. One of the things you will have to think about is your wedding cake designs. Though some only have one cake, some choose to include the groom cake. This is smaller, and usually made from more decadent ingredients. If you want to have both, you have two cakes to choose instead of one. Either way, you want to have something that you love, and that might not be as easy as you thought. Planning a wedding can be fun, but don’t let anyone fool you, there are many choices and you can get overwhelmed.

When you visit someone about wedding cake designs, you should have something in mind when you go. You don’t have to have anything specific picked out, but having an idea of what you want will help them narrow down the choices they present to you. You may be given a book to look through, and if you can find something in that book that you like, you have lucked out. You may have to choose something that is close, and then have them tweak your favorite wedding cake designs to suit your mood.

You can find new and exciting wedding cake designs if you look around online. Not all bakeries will be able to copy what you have found, but you might find someone who can do something very similar. If you still haven’t found what you are looking for, you may be thinking about it too hard. Choose some that you think are good, and then put them away for a while. In a few weeks, get the wedding cake designs back out and go through them with fresh eyes. Something should stand out then, or you will have to start all over again.

Remember to choose your wedding cake designs as early as possible, as this will be just one of hundreds of choices that you will have to make. Get it out of the way, and don’t wait for the last minute to find someone to make it for you. The best bakery might be booked up but the time you show up to find out if they can do your cake or not. As with most wedding planning details, the early you can do it the better. Also remember you will have to choose what type of cake, or perhaps what type of extra desserts you might want to offer as an alternative.

I Do: A Guide to Creating Your Own Unique Wedding Ceremony

Though some of the traditional wedding ceremony is still being used in many weddings, there are new customs and traditions that are being invented to suit the new way people are relating and even meeting. The world has changed very much since weddings became what they are, and this means the those ceremonies have to change with the times. Though there are some who stick to the traditional wedding in every way, many are making adjustments, whether they are large or small, to fit what they think a marriage should be.

One common change to the wedding ceremony is to change the vows. When I married, our minister gave us a selection of vows from which to choose, and also told us that we were welcome to read our own if we wished. Since we both thought we would not like to read ours, even though it would be neat to write them, we decided to go with some traditional vows. We did, however, made some modifications. Our first modification to the vows was that the word ‘obey’ would not be included. The thought of obeying each other was funny to each of us.

Some people are altering their wedding ceremony to include any children that may be involved. Some have their children in the wedding as flower girls, bridesmaids, ushers, or groomsmen. Others turn their wedding ceremony into a family union ceremony. This is always a brilliant idea, as the children feel that they are being joined in the new family and they feel important and loved. Though not everyone chooses to do this for various reasons, it is becoming more popular.

The basics of any wedding ceremony remain the same however. Most couples make vows and exchange rings with each other. Other than that, what a couple wants to do is up to them. Come faiths will not allow such changes, but many will. The ceremony should reflect the life of the couple, and should be something they will cherish forever. The wedding ceremony should not be built to please the guests, but rather to please the couple. However, it is always a nice touch to keep the guests comfort in mind while planning. They will love you for it. Though people are always honored to be invited to a wedding, some brides and grooms don’t think about them while planning, they sometimes they end up having a very miserable time due to long length of ceremony or time between ceremony and reception.
