Choose The Flower Girls

A flower girl is usually a young girl between the ages of 4 and 8 who has a special connection to the bride and groom. They follow the bridesmaids with a basket of flowers, scattering them down the aisle.

As to how many flower girls you should have. I say why you can’t have two or even more. Together they are more vigorous and confident and add to the cuteness quotient. Avoid choosing someone who is too young – she will be confused and perhaps scared. An older girl may be more suited for a job such as reader, or junior bridesmaid.


Get The Perfect Flower Girl Dresses

Many people find it hard to buy the perfect wedding gown and less attention has been paid to the cute flower girl dresses. However, choosing appropriate attires for your flower girls and page boys is no much easier than selecting the perfect princess wedding dress for your big day. There are some points you should attach importance to. Often, a flower girl is dressed in a mini-version of the bride’s dress, or a white dress with a sash that matches the bridesmaid dresses and your wedding gown.

Make sure the dress is comfortable and not too long, so that she won’t be pulling at her dress or tripping down the aisle. If your flower girl doesn’t like dresses, choose a pants outfit with the same level of formality as the bridesmaid dresses. Do not forget the color and the style as well is to match your fabulous wedding gown.


Keep The Girls And Everything Straight

Having got your gorgeous cute flower girls and page boys standing by decently dressed, the following things are keeping them comfortable and in mood for your wedding ceremony. Does your flower girl get ready? Well, this is a case. One of the best ways to do this is buy her a book about being a flower girl which will explain her role, or praise how beautiful she is in her lovely flower girl dress, and get her excited. Seat her parents on the aisle, near the front so that she can see them when she walks down the aisle and during the ceremony itself.

Ask a bridesmaid to be her “buddy” and make sure she uses the restroom before the ceremony. Most of all, don’t be too nervous that she will make a mistake. If she dumps all her petals at the start of the aisle, runs instead of walks, or even starts to cry, guests will think it’s cute. Now, for a sake of a perfect wedding, buy them inexpensive cute flower girl dresses of fabulous styles!

Flowers become more and more indispensible in the decoration of wedding settings. The most important is the bride’s bouquet which should show her elegance as well as personality. If you find it difficult and have no idea where to get started, find a reliable floral designer to take whole charge of it. But this can only happen on condition that you are definitely involved. Here's a three-step guide to getting or working with a fantastic florist.

STEP 1: Find a Florist.

If you happen to notice a wedding or party with fabulous flowers, you can ask for the florist's name and keep that. You will need that one day sooner or later. It’s always happening that when you need to do something or right getting started on something, you will always find nothing suitable as you try to find a proper one. Furthermore, your wedding site manager can recommend you some names as well. If the florist has worked in the space before, he or she will have a good sense of the dynamics. You can ask your neighbors and friends for advices as well.

STEP 2: Allow Plenty of Time.

Reserve your florist three to six months in advance to get started. Allow even more time if the florist is very popular, because there may be time for arrangements of the florist’s schedual, especially when you're marrying during high season as June to September. Once you have found an excellent florist, make regular appointment with him or her. Keep in step with the process in order you have your splendid wedding in exactly the place you have dreamed.

It’s the once-in-a-lifetime event we are talking about. It can only be perfect. No unexpected surprises are allowed. So leave your florist as well as yourself plenty of time to design and discuss every detail about your sweet floral wedding settings and your unique wedding bouquet.

STEP 3: Do Your Research.

It is far from enough that you just think about the kind of floral wedding settings you prefer. If you're no expert in flower types and floral terminology, I suggest you pay a visit to your local bookstore or library. It is time to get serious. Search for the flower encyclopedia or books on flower arranging. Make sure you communicate well you’re your florist. If you have any plan for your bouquet flower, do let the florist know and have full discussion about that. You can mark pinpoint designs you like and special flowers you favor. If you are not sure, bring the books or color copies of specific arrangements for wedding settings with you when you meet with your florist. That would make a difference. 

Top Tips On Preserving White Wedding Gowns

It is wise of you to clean and preserve your wedding dress as soon as possible, which can make sure your wedding dress in the best condition possible. Especially if you would like to preserve your wedding gown for memory or intend to give it to your daughter, you need to take special care in preserving your wedding dress once the wedding is over.

After the ceremony, your dress may have noticeable stains from food or make-up, or the hemline may be soiled. As time goes by, these stains will get from bad to worse. There may be all kinds of chemical reactions.

It's told that a plastic garment bag will provide a good barrier from spills and rain, and provide some protection from crushing the dress so it can stay more wrinkles free while transporting. But a plastic garment bag is not a good place to store a wedding dress for an extended period of time, even a few weeks could prove too long to store your dress. 

A plastic garment bag does not usually allow the fabric to breathe which is essential for the good condition of the dress Plastic will emit fumes that can cause a wedding dress to turn yellow. Hanging a dress for an extended period of time can cause the seams of the dress to stretch, especially for bridal gowns with long trains. There are breathable garment bags designed today for white wedding dresses.

You can also choose a trustworthy dry cleaner and have your wedding dresses and bridal accessories cleaned. When you get back your wedding gown, remove all the plastic. Fold the unique wedding dresses. Take acid free tissue paper or unbleached muslin and place between folds. Wrap the entire dress in the muslin and place in an acid-free box. Store the box in a dry, dark place. You will also need to air the wedding gown at least once a year. Also, refold the dress along different lines so that creases don’t develop.

Ideally, your unique weddingdress should be cleaned and preserved within days or weeks of your wedding. In that way, even a year or a decade later, you can look at your dress whenever you want and even give it to your own daughter who will enjoy the happiness just as you did on your big day.

The Glamour Of Vintage Wedding Dresses

Vintage, in terms of fashion, means something beautiful in an old fashion. Flapper wedding dresses by the start of 1920 were loose throughout, more casual and feminine, more in a chemise style, but very decent and simpler, some even up to knee-length.

Vintage Wedding Gowns---PERSUN Provided

While the veils then were more adorned, elaborated and embellished. During the 30s, the dresses became slender with collars and loose fitting bodice, concentrating more on the length. Instead of tiaras and veils, women wore beautiful hats. The ‘20s-‘30s style is all about elegance, glitter and coquetry! The old charm and vintage beauty never fades.

The 40s fashion trend experienced massive changes. Every aspect of life, including wedding attires was affected during war. A 1940’s vintage wedding dress is perfect for romantic, classy brides. They have gibson or mutton sleeves with a point at the end, especially combined with a high v-neck collar and netting at the neckline, which emphasis on waist, often with a “v” shape. A 1940s vintage unusual wedding dress is definitely romantic and amazing.

As the World War II ended, the weddings during 50s were celebrated with more enthusiasm. Wedding dresses became more fancy but still adhering to their modesty. Normally they had upstanding gothic style collars, lace boleros on top of a strapless dress, which often were ankle-length styles. Flutter hems went with layered materials and dropped hemline created a aethereal feeling.

The 1950s weren’t about showing a lot of skin. Compared to some of the wedding dresses today, they were not revealing at all. Traditional length with sleeves, not-too-low neckline, and few embellishments turns out so modest in the eyes of the modern people. If you are looking for a subtle, yet elegant and classic wedding, a 1950s vintage mature bride wedding dress is your style.

The mid-century era of the 1950-70’s saw a return to the formal yet understated wedding fashions. Brides of the 1960s often wore modest wedding dresses with lengthy sleeves and high necks.

During the 60s, women became a little open-minded which consequently reflected in their preferences for wedding dresses. It gave rise to vintage short wedding dress which were above knee-length. However, pillbox hats and gloves were totally in fashion and could not be left out, no matter what the style of the dress was.The whole spirit created is of a romantic attitude along with innocent influence on the fineness and delicacy of a bride.

It is totally understandable that every bride wants to be the limelight on her wedding day, while the prominent element is a unique wedding dress. Before you rush to hug the 60s vintage fashion, take a look at the 1970’s wedding style.

With a skirt that is not too large or too tight, the 1970’s wedding dress puts accent on the waist, which keeps the straight type and the waist comes in the front line. In this way, they are perfectly suitable to any bride regarding the statue high and body shapes. Wedding dress from ’70 creates a shiny look. They no longer wear a modest look, while on the contrary, they represents a totally feminine appearance, beautiful and remarkable in an all-around way.

Veils Or No Veils?

All the brides desire to game an elegant hairstyle on her wedding ceremony that specialize her personality the same as her gorgeous mature brides wedding gowns do. Hair accessories are the essential part of it. But how do you like a veil? Some don’t pay much attention to that small tiny thing, but if it goes well with your wedding dress, that will only make you look better. What’s 2013 hair accessories trend then? Here are some excellent ideas for you.

Wedding veils were once donned as protection from evil spirits. In more recent times, the veil has symbolized chastity, and, like the white wedding dress, festivity and fun.

Whether or not you wear a veil is up to you, as there are no longer strict rules regarding the accessory. It does help to understand the etiquette, especially if you are having a formal ceremony, or are worried about what great-grandmother might think. While once taboo to wear a veil for a second marriage, that rule no longer applies. 

Should you decide to wear a veil, make sure any ornamentation starts below the detailing on the unique wedding dress, they don’t compete for attention and don’t clash.

However, it’s common to forgo the Cathedral-length wedding veils, which go down to the floor and are associated with virginity and first-time marriage, in favor of something shorter, like a Blusher, which covers only the bride’s face. Another popular option for all brides is the Flyaway, which ends at the shoulder. Fingertip veils end, you guessed it, just above the fingers.

It seems wedding veils are not so popular these days. Veils do enjoy much popularity in the past days. But, if you decide to wear veil it’s better to make it simple veil. One tier veil is more preferred than sophisticated three tier veil. However keep in mind that the hair should never be longer than the veil itself. Tiara’s, jewels, flowers and pearls are still popular as wedding hair accessories. Use these accessories to compliment the color scheme of your dress and to emphasize your hairstyle.

Why Choose Vintage Wedding Dress?

Every girl must be faced with and must have been entangled with must be choosing their unique elegant wedding dresses. With the development of everything, it is becoming more and more difficult to find one style that belongs to your own. And after your wedding, you won't find an army of brides wearing the same gorgeous dresses as you did. The best choice turns out to be a vintage wedding dress.

Wedding Planning Tips---Choosing The Right Theme Color

    Quite often the first thing that couples think about when considering the setting design of their wedding day is the colors they will use. Soft, blush shades will help to bring to life a dreamy, romantic look whilst strong jewel shades might be more appropriate for a bolder day full of vibrancy. However, it’s important to think about your theme color in the context of a number of other elements and so PersunDresses shares our top tips for finding the perfect tones for your day:

Follow Your Original Wedding Design Concept

It’s tempting to jump straight in and think about colors but the most natural palette will fall out of a solid design concept. As you search for inspiration, look for colors that you are consistently drawn to. Play around with different combinations and consider how they make you feel and whether they fit with your wedding day style.

As you narrow your inspirations down to create a mood board, look to see which colors are naturally coming through. These should form the basis of your color palette.

Read The Psychology of Color

Colors have an amazing ability to evoke strong psychological responses and can affect both moods and emotions so you may want to think about what you are communicating through your color palette. A strong cherry red for example is typically associated with vibrancy, excitement and passion so could be the perfect accent color for a fun, energetic day or perhaps a more sultry and high-end glamour look. Think back to the type of day you’re trying to create and consider whether the colors you are looking at fit naturally into your vision.

Take Your Wedding Venue Into Consideration

Think about the colors that exist within your venue; are the walls, carpets and décor in natural shades or bright, vibrant colors? It’s important to make sure that you select a palette that complements your venue. This will avoid too many colors fighting for attention and often means you can invest less in décor by making the most of what is already there.

Stay In Calm

Have the confidence to put together colors that work for you and evoke a strong emotional reaction. Unexpected color combinations like mint and buttercup yellow can look stunning so don’t be afraid to experiment. Similarly, the seasons are quite often used as a guide for determining your color palette but just because you’re getting married in Spring doesn’t mean you can’t opt for stronger shades if that is what best brings to life your vision.

Create Your Personal Color

By considering all of the above you should now have a few key colors that you’d like to work with. Now we need to transform those few colors into a full palette, giving you a range of complementary shades and tones. Remember, working with just one color which you religiously match everything to will create a look which is very contrived – not to mention probably drive you mad in the process! We’re aiming for a more natural, seemingly effortless but oh-so-stylish look.

First off, identify one or two leading colors. Remember they may be your hero colors but that doesn’t mean you have to use them everywhere. For bright, vibrant shades in particular you can have too much of a good thing so use them sparingly as an accent color where they will have maximum impact.

Remember to think about your supporting acts in the color palette; neutral tones like creams, taupes, fawns and greys can all add a depth and effortless look to your final design. If you’re unsure about selecting these colors then refer back to your mood board; what are the background shades that are working with the main players?

You are aiming for a final palette of complementary colors – they don’t have to all be the same shade but they should work comfortably as a set. If you’re unsure about your color combination then Pinterest is a fabulous resource for searching for different color palettes.

Follow Your Chosen Theme Color

Colors can look very different on screen and are hugely open to interpretation (if I say purple for instance, do I mean a soft lilac or a deep, rich aubergine?) so once you’ve got a good idea of the color palette you want, it can be useful to either get a reference from a Pantone chart book or pop to your local fabric or DIY shop to pick up fabric swatches or paint color charts which you can use as a physical reference point to share with suppliers.

And don’t forget, the above tips are designed merely to give you a clue about where to get started. Don’t let them lead your whole way. Ultimately, your color palette should flow naturally from the work you have already done around defining your wedding day style and your design concept so focus on finding a palette that evokes the emotional response that you’re looking for on your big day. Just show your personality and create the precious memories peculiar to you and your other half.

TOP 5 BRIDAL MAKE UP DOS & DON’TS

Don’t be afraid to try new looks

The first thing I would say about your wedding makeup is don’t be afraid to try a few looks before you’ve decided on what you’d like to do and be sure to leave enough time to do this.

Do have a make up trial before the big day

Have a few trials with a makeup artist or a makeup counter. Most freelance makeup artists will offer a bridal trial separate to the actual wedding day. It’s not a con to take your money! The trial is so important. Both for the makeup artist and for you.

Having the chance to try different looks means that on the day you are going to be feeling confident and happy in the knowledge that the look you are wearing is right for you and is going to last!

Alternatively MAC do a service where you pay £50 ($78) to have a bridal lesson but the money is redeemed against products at the end. The artist does one side of your face, step by step with you doing the other. This way you really see how to use the brushes and makeup. It’s definitely worth having a play with different looks and then wearing them for the whole day. 

Do have your trial in the morning  so you can see how your make up lasts

Have an appointment in the morning so you can really see how the products wear through out the day. The make up might look perfect when you first have it applied, but see how it wears after lunch!

Do take a photo 

Take a photo in natural daylight with a digital camera (not a camera phone) as soon as you have had a makeup trial. The makeup needs to look good on camera as well as face to face. The camera doesn’t lie! It also doesn’t help to get a close friend’s opinion. Or a sister’s. They never lie either!

Do ‘Be You’ 

Lastly I would just advise that the makeup you choose suits you. As in your personality, your confidence, what you like. Never wear eye makeup or false lashes? Perhaps try it to see what you like but don’t be afraid to ask for a very “natural” makeup.

You are going to look back on those photos for years and years to come. There is already immense pressure on us to look fabulous on the big day! The last thing you want is to be wearing makeup that just doesn’t “feel right”.

Remember to follow these advice in order to make sure you will have a perfect wedding. It is always great to try new looks. Because that will help you discover what you like and what you absolutely don't like. In other words, you have to try on cute high low prom dresses and a red backless prom dress to compare, no matter whether you have wear that style before. Comparison leads to easy decisions. So don't be afraid to try new things. That feeling of not looking like the "you" is always of so much fun. Therefore, work with your make up consultant for your big day or make new experience by yourself, thus discover the perfect looks that feels right for you. Above all, do allow yourself enough time to figure that out is very important though. Or having a back up plan is also very nice.
