Shopping for Wedding Dresses – Who should you take? is a post from: Wedding Dress Factory Outlet

You don’t have to be a Footballers wife or a be marrying a prince to enlist the services of a wedding planner. In today’s society we have our grocery shopping delivered and get someone else to do the housework. So why not employ someone with plenty of knowledge to do all the behind the scenes work to ensure you have your dream day.

What you require from your planner is ultimately down to you. Whether you want them to locate you your amazing venue or do plan everything from the wedding, reception and honeymoon. For many couples they choose to hire a wedding planner simply for the fact of not having enough time themselves. They are particularly helpful if you are getting married on a shorter time scale, if so with our huge range of discount wedding dresses available to purchase off the peg make sure you come visit us! If you are a bride getting married overseas then it makes sense to have someone who knows all the contacts and formalities involved to do the leg work for you or perhaps your a bride who feels totally overwhelmed by everything that a wedding involves.

The cost of an organisers services can vary some will charge a flat fee rate whereas others will charge a percentage of approximately 10-15% of your overall wedding cost.

Wedding Dress of the Week is a post from: Wedding Dress Factory Outlet

• Think about the type of wedding you are having before selecting the number of attendants you are having. Large formal weddings usually have large bridal parties, whilst smaller intimate ceremonies tend to have a smaller party. The more bridesmaids you have the more complicated it can become. From the selecting the dresses, to the hen night and not forgetting the cost implications.
• Take into consideration their personalities. Do you want your bossy or high maintenance friend ordering you about? Or a friend who is vain and will be more concerned about how she looks than yourself? Some ladies may be more trouble than it’s worth. They should be fun, supportive you and love you unconditionally.
• Your bridesmaids should have good taste. When shopping for wedding dresses you want someone who is honest and truthful, you don’t want to be opting for the wedding gown they loathe. They should also know how to organise a great party, essential when planning your successful hen party.
• You need a friend who can keep you calm and serene in any situation. During the build up to the big day and possibly on the day itself there may be problems that pop up and it’s your bridesmaids role to help ease any issues and help you to relax.
• If you are opting to have younger attendants or small children attending your wedding then at least one of your adult bridesmaids should be able to get down to their level and help keep them happy.
• Do remember you bridesmaids don’t have to be female. If you have a best friend who is male then he can simply be your bridesman and your groom can always have a groomswoman.
• There is no rule to say you can’t have two chief bridesmaids, just as your groom may choose to have more than one best man.
• Remember it’s ultimately your decision who your bridesmaids are, don’t be afraid of hurting someone’s feelings as a true friend will respect your choice.
• Being a bridesmaid is a big responsibility so don’t be too disheartened should someone turn down your offer. For some being the centre of attention and the pressures is too overwhelming. Some friends may be happy to help you out with tasks behind the scenes.

Once you’ve chosen those special ladies it’s time to begin the wedding gown hunt. For the best selection of cheap wedding dresses then look no further than our huge collection at the Wedding Dress Factory Outlet.

Choosing your Bridesmaids is a post from: Wedding Dress Factory Outlet

Your tiara or chosen headpiece should compliment and frame your face, choosing the wrong style could result in having the opposite effect. If you have a rounded face shape and want to make your face to appear longer then opt for a tiara with height or a peak. Longer faced brides suit headband styles or a tiara with very little height or one that extends right the way over your head at the same height. Ladies with oval faces should avoid peaks which would make your face look longer. By wearing a headband, back piece or a forehead piece will make your face look less oval. Peaked tiaras work well on fuller face brides as they give an illusion of a longer face.

If you have a good idea of how you wish to wear your hair on your wedding day it will be of a great assistance when choosing your headpiece. Whatever you choose your hairdresser will have great fun working out what hairstyles work best with it. The stones and gems in your headpiece should match any twinkle that you have in your wedding gown. For example, if you have pearls on your dress then go for a tiara with some pearls, if you have embroidered flowers on your bodice and train then look for a tiara with some floral detailing. If you are having a modern dress then a more contemporary tiara would work well, whereas if you have selected an antique dress then a vintage headpiece would be more appropriate.

For many brides to be wearing a tiara or headpiece transforms them from a woman wearing a stunning dress into a beautiful bride in her wedding gown. Your accessories should work in harmony with your dress and should compliment it,not overpower it.

To tiara or not to tiara is a post from: Wedding Dress Factory Outlet

There are also other risks to consider. When buying an item online from some other countries you have to pay Customs Duty and VAT charges when it comes into the country. Often the seller will send the wedding dress and declare it as a ‘gift’. In doing so the wedding gown has entered the country illegally as its commercial value has not been declared. The bride herself is responsible as an importer for all the information provided by the seller on the declaration form. If Customs prove that the value is incorrect then the buyer (i.e. you, the bride!) is liable for the penalty fine, and purchasing a counterfeit good is also illegal.

You can however get your dream wedding dress at a fraction of the cost without any risks, financially or emotionally. At the Wedding Dress Factory Outlet we offer discount designer wedding dresses of exceptional quality. We are one of the UK’s largest and most competitively priced factory outlets. Choose from our comprehensive range of well-known bridal brands and designers and pay up to 75% less than the retail price.

If you are a bride who is concerned about finding something that flatters and gives an illusion of shape to your small busted figure then don’t panic. With our expertise we can guide you in the right direction to find you the perfect wedding gown that accentuates your body shape in all areas and creates the perfect silhouette.

By choosing a wedding dress that has embellishment or ruching to the bodice you can immediately add volume and shape to the bust area. This can be achieved by having rich sculpted satins, deep folded silks, ruched chiffon, tulle, draped loose fabric or layered lace. Any embellishments be it intricate beading, dazzling diamante or pretty patterning will all create an illusion of a bigger bust. A fitted bodice and fuller shaped skirt, empire wedding dresses, A line skirts and ball gowns will also create a lovely shape.

Wedding Dresses to suit smaller busted brides is a post from: Wedding Dress Factory Outlet

It’s common knowledge that it is considered unlucky to allow your groom to see you in your wedding gown prior to the ceremony itself, although some brides do choose to take their future husband as their bridal wear shopping partner! A bride is advised never to help sew or make her wedding dress, otherwise for each stitch she sews will in turn be the amount of tears she cries during her marriage. In order to bring good luck the wedding dresses final stitch should not be done until she is about to walk down the aisle, with some brides also having a couple of hairs sewn into the gown?!?!

Finding a spider tucked in your wedding gown is meant to bring wealth and if you own a cat then getting it to eat out of your left shoe one week before the wedding will bless your married life. It is deemed unlucky for you to wear your complete wedding outfit with all your accessories prior to your wedding day as is the bride to see her full reflection in just one mirror on the wedding day.

The tradition of marrying in white began in the 16th century, encouraged by Queen Victoria who opted to wear white instead of the royal traditional colour of silver. Before white brides just chose their best dress with the colour being a personal preference. It was also beleived that wearing white would ward off evil spirits and was a symbol of purity and joy. Unless you are of an Irish origin the colour green is thought to be unlucky, a green gown in years gone by was thought to imply promiscuity, the green staining being due to rolling around in the grass!

With regards to fabric then a silk wedding gown is looked upon as the best of good luck, whereas satin is considered to be bad luck and velvet is believed to be connected to future poverty! If the fabric of the wedding dress has a pattern it is thought to be unlucky, even more so if the pattern incorporates birds or vines.

“Something old, Something new, Something borrowed, Something blue”  was originated in Victorian times.  Traditionally a married woman’s garter as the old, the something new to signify the new future together, the borrowed was often an item from the bride’s side of the family and the blue from an historic tradition that the bride would wear a blue ribbon in her hair to show her fidelity.

Superstitious or not with our extensive range of cheap wedding dresses in all colours, fabrics and styles to suit any bride to be it would be surely unlucky not to come and visit us here at the Wedding Dress Factory Outlet!
