• Do ensure you wear eye make up which is waterproof. At some point during the day you are likely to shed a few tears, even if you think you’re too hardcore for that, you may surprise yourself.
• Your lipstick or gloss should also be the long-lasting stay put type. You’re going to be in for a long day filled with kisses from not only your new husband but your guests too. With the camera continuously snapping away you want your lips looking picture perfect.
• Give someone the duty of keeping a check on your make up for you so they can advise you if you require a touch up. They can also keep a stash of your essentials in their bag.
• You could keep an emergency kit in one of the bathrooms at your reception venue, for not just yourself but your female guests too. This could include hairspray, hairbrush, hair grips, clear nail polish for ladders in tights or stockings, deodorant, plasters and a sewing kit. You could even put out a supply of flip flops for tired party feet.
• Don’t leave it until the big day before testing out a new product. Do a practice run first or use a product several times first just in case you have an allergic reaction.
• And finally relax. A beautiful bride is one that is relaxed and enjoying herself. As long as you get married and enjoy yourself then nothing else will matter in hindsight!

The type of ceremony you are having will reflect your choice of music. If you are have a religious wedding then you can include hymns and secular music. It is best to check with your officiating minister beforehand but usually you would require some music as the guests arrive and take their seats which is happy and unobtrusive. The song in which the bride is to walk down the aisle to, ensuring it is long enough to last the entire procession, and something that is played whilst the newlyweds sign the registrar. You will also require something uplifting as you leave the church as husband and wife. You may also choose to sing some hymns after the bride’s entrance, after the marriage ceremony and after the prayers and final blessing, as well as a sung psalm after the marriage. Civil wedding ceremonies are often shorter than a religious one, therefore you do not have as many opportunities for music. You may choose to have music playing as your guests arrive and leave and when you are signing the registrar. Your ceremony cannot contain any religious readings or music. If you are getting married at a licensed premise then you will have more music options. You may choose to have songs played at points similar to a church service but do get the registrar’s approval beforehand.

If you’re not sure what music to choose then listen to some CDs together, look at lists of the most popular played tracks over the past decades or alternatively if you have a friend or family member who can sing then why not ask them to participate in your music selection. If your wedding is based on a certain theme then you could choose a song to fit in with this. Whatever you choose ensure you enjoy it on the day, as your chosen tracks will help keep the memories alive every time you hear it again in the future.

Wedding Ceremony Music is a post from: Wedding Dress Factory Outlet

The beautiful blonde bride looked striking in an elegant ivory wedding dress that was designed exclusively for her by Australian Bridal Wear designer Jane Hill. Her A line wedding gown featured a delicate overlay with straps and was complimented with a matching veil that was sat in the back of her loosely curled hair. The look was completed with a pair of dazzling Jimmy Choos and a classic posy of cream roses. Her ship broker husband opted to wear a navy tailcoat and contrasting pin striped trousers, finished off with a pink tie.

As they kissed at the end of the ceremony there was rapturous applause from the guests and lots of tears from the bride’s father and 26 year old brother Sam. During her interview with Hello! magazine Holly said “Dad cries at anything, even adverts. My brother, Sam, was even more emotional – he was literally uncontrollably crying. Blubbing his eyes out.”

Although a huge fire destroyed the Great House on the famous island back in August the couple were under no disillusion that their wedding was to still go ahead. Talking to the magazine, she said: “Because it is such a dramatic environment, you don’t get a sad feeling on the ruins, it’s more of an uplifting, wow, a feeling of celebration and a time to reflect. It’s definitely our special place and it looked absolutely beautiful, even thought it was still very rustic – there are still piles of rubble – it was dramatic. And it’s stunning because you’re at the top of a hill so there are incredible panoramic views.”

Even though on the wedding day a tropical storm hit the island the guests were not going to let anything get in the way. When a boat ferrying guests from another island was unable to moor due to high waves they dived into the sea and swam to shore! The wedding had some royal attendees – Princess Beatrice and her sister Eugenie, choosing to decline the Queen’s pre- Christmas lunch invitation.

Celebrity Wedding Dresses – the best of 2011 is a post from: Wedding Dress Factory Outlet

Having a white wedding gown has long been the traditional colour a bride would wear on her wedding day, however wedding dresses were not always white. The marriage of Queen Victoria to Albert in 1840 was hugely influential on weddings than any other. She wanted to incorporate some lace into her wedding gown that she prized and after her wedding photograph was widely published brides to be followed in her style. Though many brides continued to wed in gowns of different colourways, white is still very much a popular colour choice with it seen to symbolise virginity. “Custom has decided, from the earliest ages, that white is the most fitting hue, whatever may be the material.  It is an emblem of the purity and innocence of girlhood, and the unsullied heart she now yields to the chosen one.” is a quote from Godey’s Lady’s Book, 1949.

Around the globe, brides of all cultures would have become a wife in an array of all colours from the rainbow. Different colours have different meanings, however universally white is for purity, black is for death and purple and gold are for royalty. Bright yellow is worn in Morocco as it is seen to scare away the evil eye, and good luck is received by wearing green, the colour of plants. African brides incorporate patterns and colours into their wedding gown to represent their villages and in China red is worn as it is their colour of joy and good luck.

White is worn around the world by Jews and in Israel as it is seen to represent spiritual purity and clarity whereas blue embodies mystical powers. The white wedding dress tradition is continued by Japanese brides who opt to wear a white silk wedding kimono lined in red. This symbolizes a new beginning and happiness.

In Spain, Roman Catholic brides wear black wedding gowns and mantillas made of lace to show their lifetime devotion. Beautiful gold thread embroidered silk saris are worn in India. These dresses are either red or white with a red border or a mixture of yellow, green and white. Koreans wear a lime-green wonsam or hwarrot which is worn over the traditional wedding dress, the hanbok.  The womsam and hwarrot are embroidered with flowers and butterflies, and banded with red, symbolizing heaven; indigo, for earth; and yellow for humanity.  The bride’s hands are covered in white, the symbol of respect.

Whatever colour you choose to wear with over 700 discounted wedding dresses to choose from, you’re bound to find the wedding dress of your dreams at the Wedding Dress Factory Outlet.

Get your designer Wedding Dress at a fraction of the cost is a post from: Wedding Dress Factory Outlet

1. First of all if you have not already done so share the great news among your family and friends.  Rather than ring or text everybody why not send out an email with a photograph of your ring announcing your engagement, or alternatively post it to your social media accounts where you can keep everyone regularly informed of how your planning is coming along!
2. Sort out an Engagement Party. It doesn’t have to be a full on event, even if you go out with close family and friends for lunch this is a cause for celebration and gives you the perfect opportunity to chat about your initial ideas for your wedding day.
3. The next step is to choose your wedding date. Will you go for a Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter wedding. Do you have a special day on which you’d like to get wed?
4. Determine your budget and how much you want to spend on your wedding. What can you afford to spend on your dream day?
5. Compile your guest list. Who would you like to be at your wedding ? Will you choose to have an intimate wedding with close family and friends or a traditional wedding with hundreds of guests.
6. Select where your ceremony is going to take place. The venue where your wedding ceremony is being conducted should reflect the number of guests in attendance . A tiny chapel is probably not ideal if you intend to have a very large group of guests.
7. Choose the reception venue. Lots of popular venues for wedding reception get booked up months, if not years in advance, particularly during peak wedding season.
8. Book in for an engagement photography shoot. It gives you some precious memories of a joyous time in your lives and as you have to hire a photographer for your special day you could tie the two in together and get a great package.
9. Think about whether you want the services of a wedding planner. Organising a wedding is a busy and stressful time, hiring a wedding planner takes the pressure off you and your groom.
10. And finally the wedding gown. Your wedding dress is one of the main features of the day. Here at the Wedding Dress Factory Outlet we have a over 700 beautiful discounted wedding dresses for you to choose from. Being one of the UK’s largest factory outlets with our wedding dresses and very competitively priced we are certain we can help you find your perfect wedding dress.

So You’re Engaged! – Now To Get Shopping For Your Wedding Dress! is a post from: Wedding Dress Factory Outlet

When looking through our vast range of discounted wedding dresses our helpful friendly assistants will be happy to discuss with you the various colours available and what looks good on your skin colouring. As a bride you should consider what your skin tone will be at the time you get married. If its in the summer will you have a bit of a tan, you might be opting to have a fake glow or if you are getting married overseas in a hot climate it is most likely that your skin colour will change. Alternatively if it’s a winter wedding will you be a pale English rose? This is a determining factor when you’re looking for your wedding dress.

When you have worked out what sort of colouring you are going to be then it’s time to track down your perfect wedding gown. If you have dark skin tones then white looks utterly incredible and works well on brunettes with medium skin tones too. Steer clear of lighter coloured bridal wear if you have yellowish skin.

Off white wedding dresses are not as stark as bright white and are a softer more natural shade. Like all wedding gowns there are a wide variety of off-white shades and come in names such as diamond white, antique white, old white and latte to name but a few. They suit virtually all skin tones and hair colours. Ivory suits dark haired brides with paler complexions, mediterranean women, darker skin colourings and ladies with pink undertones. There are many varying shades of ivories and this depends on the fabric of the wedding dress itself. A bride who looks remarkable in an ivory taffeta gown may not look so fabulous in an ivory satin. It is still the best selling colour and tends to suit most brides.

Cream, champagne and light gold wedding dresses are rich and warming and can look fabulous on red heads and medium skin colours with pink undertones. This colour gives your skin a really vibrant lift and can make the wedding gown look expensive. Very pale and yellowish skin toned ladies should avoid cream as it can make them look drained and ghostly.

Of course your wedding gown doesn’t have to be entirely one colour. It could have another colour incorporated into the design via the lace, bead, sash, or bow. This can be a great option for many brides aswell as tying into the theme of your wedding. Alternativley you may choose to go for a red, blue, pink, yellow or even black wedding gown. There is no rule that dictates what colour you should wed in.
