When shopping for a wedding dress there are a few things to keep in mind. First off, for some unknown reason wedding dresses tend to run smaller than regular clothing so if you are an 10 try a 12 or 14 for your dress! Also if you find a couple dresses you like, try taking a picture of yourself in the dress so you can contemplate and come back to the pictures later and see which one you like the most.

There are so many overwhelming things to think about when planning a wedding, where to have it, when to have it, what food to serve, etc. So who has time to think about all the little things, like what white to wear on your big day? Well here is a guide to make the task a little easier.

-If you are a fair-skinned bride, look for more of an ivory shade of white, possibly containing yellow undertones.

-If you are more of a blushing bride (a pinker complexion) try more of a creamy undertone.

-If you are a more olive, yellow or dark skinned bride, try more of a champagne or off white shade .

Happy Hunting!

I came across this great idea. Personalize caps, flip flops, bracelets or visors for your bridesmaids and you. You can personalize the hip rhinestone wording to your bridesmaid's nicknames or the assigned title they have on your special day. Very Cute and reasonably priced!

For all the brides who are looking to be comfortable during the reception: a tip from a Client of Mine! Thanks Jeanette!

They are called Down Boy (or DB) Flip Flops by Girl Two Doors Down Inc. I have included two sites, because sizes are sometimes hard to find. She bought some from both website companies, and has nothing but good things to say about both companies. She purchased the wedding ones for her, and some of the others for her bridesmaids.
