Summer Couture Wedding Dresses | Non-Traditional

2011-06-26T16:25:00.000-07:00

Non-traditional weddings dresses have always been a choice for the more daring brides amongst us. Unsurprisingly, a number of celebrities (known for daring fashion choices!) have gone the way of opting for non-traditional weddings dresses for their big day. When Gwen Steffani got married, she wore a white dress (by John Galliano) that faded to a burst of hot pink towards the hemline! And when Mariska Hargitay got married, she opted for a pale pink wedding dress by Carolina Herrera. There is no real need to stay true to the white gown. A white wedding dress does not a wedding complete!

Also East-West fusion gowns are a pick for brides wanting to highlight their ethnic heritage or that of their husband's. For instance, when Elizabeth Hurley married an Indian businessman, she wore an exquisite sari that won much praise.

Another non-traditional style is to shorten the length of the wedding dress. Some brides are opting for a simple chic summer dresses to get married in.

Here are some fantastic non-traditional summer wedding couture styles for you to consider.

Egyptian Themed Wedding

2010-06-20T01:09:00.000-07:00

Some brides like themed weddings. Planning for these can be rather fun - time to let your creative juices flow! To make a themed wedding work, you would need to come up with unique ideas - don't get bogged down with cliched ideas on themed weddings. Be spontaneous!

Today's post is on Egyptian Themed Weddings, and we hope we will provide you with a starting basis for planning your themed wedding.

Colors to Consider for an Egyptian Themed Wedding

Egyptologist Anita Stratos informs us that the Ancient Egyptian palette had six colours:

* red (desher)
* green (wadj)
* blue (khesbedj and irtiu)
* yellow (kenit and khenet)
* black (khem or kem)
* white (shesep and hedj)

More colors to consider using modern Egyptian culture as a basis: gold, black, and red. Also dark blue, orange, green, basically vibrant, rich colors.

Some other ideas you can use to inspire yourself in planning for an Egyptian themed wedding.

1. Think about the most suitable decoration related with your favorite ancient Egyptian story. If you choose Nefertiti, then you need to make an Egyptian background. Adorn your venue with pyramids, palm trees, desert and oasis.

2. Choose a wedding dress and Egyptian make up. However, if you still want to wear modern wedding dress, you can add Egyptian accessories. Thus, you do mix and match on your body.

3. Play Egyptian traditional music.

4. Use miniature of pyramids or Egypt special flower

5. Serve Egyptian food for your guests or you can mix the menu with your favorite ones, so your guests will have many options to choose.

6. Give Egyptian craft for wedding favors. You can also make Egyptian cookies as the favors.

Summer Wedding Color Palette Ideas

2010-06-04T09:02:00.000-07:00

For some of us, summer is fast approaching, bringing with it plenty of warm and sunny days. Summer weddings (June, July and August) are popular choices for weddings. Here are some vibrant color scheme ideas for summer weddings.

What are Color Schemes?

Color schemes are essentially a set of complementary colors that you pick, which will form the basis for your entire wedding. For example, chalky, light, faded, powder and talcum colors are accompanied by more intense shades of taupe beige and mauve. A range of dynamic, light pastels can be added to the base: pink, greenish yellow, orange, vibrant green. You can play off colors from this palette.

The above description is an example of a color scheme. The below shows you some of my more favorite color scheme choices for summer weddings.

Vibrant Summer Wedding Color Scheme Ideas

Color: Purple
Complementary Colors: Navy and Fuchsia

Purple shades are in this year - and I love it! Make your wedding unforgettable with the boldest shades of summer. A wedding laden with heaps of cosmos flowers, irises, and star gazer lilies is a veritable fairy tale haven for romance. These shades are the perfect option for making statement bouquets and incorporating pops of color in a tasteful manner, such as with wedding accessories like a cute ballet flat or unexpected invitations.

Purple Weddings Inspirations

Color: Dark Blue
Complementary Colors: Yellow or Sea Blue

In a strictly nautical theme, these summer wedding colors are a omnipresent force in the color scheme for this season and are a great option for a beach-themed wedding, whether on or off the sand. These colors scream summer with a classic feel and are an adorable option for bridesmaid's dresses and wedding accessories that will never go out of style. There are tons of resources from which to draw inspiration to create a great wedding with this color scheme. From sailboats to sandals and seagulls to seashells, summer favorites abound.

Blue Yellow Wedding Inspirations

Color: Gold
Complementary Colors: Pink Champagne or Coral

Taking inspiration from watercolor sunsets and glittery champagne, this color combination can be a truly magnificent and elegant option for an outdoor wedding at dusk. With fireflies, floating lanterns, and twirling dresses, this selection evokes a romantic, almost Shakespearean-like feel. A wedding by these colors, nothing could ever be as sweet!

Gold-Pink Weddings Inspirations

Color: Turquoise
Complementary Colors: Beige, Yellow or Gold

Of course, the opulence of summer's sunsets and greenery are perfect inspiration for an outdoor garden wedding. These summer wedding colors emulate the impression of the illuminating sun and can create an inviting, cheery, and carefree atmosphere. Consider the use of depression glass, ribbons, or parasols to create a Gatsby-like garden party feel. Pinwheels and bold, statement jewelry are great wedding accessory options and are also a fun way to incorporate the elements of summer.

Non-Traditional Wedding Dress Ideas for 2009

When you are asked to imagine a wedding, the first image that comes to mind is beautiful bride in a stunning white wedding gown, with lots of tulle, lace and pearl accessories. The white veil, the long train are also associated with that white wedding image.

However, there are many brides today who are opting for non-traditional wedding dresses - this appeals to brides who want to bring in color into their wedding dress, those who want to be unique and special, and prefer elegant simplicity to fussy adornments. A lot of brides in other cultures opt for colorful bridal dresses for their wedding. In fact, white as a tradition in Western weddings was brought about during the Victorian era, before that Western brides wore wedding dresses with color.

Contrary to belief, opting for non-traditional wedding dress does not mean you cannot afford to purchase one of those expensive designer white wedding dresses that are popular in bridal boutiques. Non-traditional wedding dresses can also be quite expensive depending on your designer. So do not imagine that you would be viewed as "cheap" by picking a non-traditional wedding dress.

By picking a non-traditional wedding dress, you can be sure to stand out and be remembered by people. While the trend for non-traditional wedding dress is picking up, it is still not that prevalent for you to be considered as just one of the many. A non-traditional wedding dress is a sure way for you to be special!

There are a lot of pretty colors to choose from, and here are some ideas to get you started on picking out the perfect non-traditional wedding dress.

Winter Bridal Hairstyles

The Perfect Wedding Hairstyle for the Winter Bride

If you have decided on a winter wedding, and you have picked out your perfect winter wedding dress and decided on the perfect winter wedding make-up look, you should now think about picking out a complementary winter wedding hairstyle.

First rule of thumb - pick something that suits your personality. Do not pick something totally out of your character. Your discomfort with a brand new hairstyle that is out of the norm from your usual style will show. And that would be a sure way to ruin your wedding day!

Second, do look through magazines and wedding hairstyle blogs for ideas.

You have the choice of going with something more formal or something more relaxed. A formal wedding hairdo can be an up-do with elaborate styling and accessories. A relaxed hairdo can be a half-up and half-down hairstyle, or leaving it down with flowing tresses.

Third, keep in mind that there is absolutely no restriction to picking out a perfect winter wedding hairstyle. It all depends on the theme of your overall winter wedding plan, the wedding dress, the decorations and so on. If your wedding is formal, then a formal hairdo would be most appropriate.

Fourth, if you are hiring a hairstylist, do book a trial appointment to see how well she works with the style you have in mind. It is also a good idea to see how you will look in the hairdo you pick. What you see in a picture or photograph on someone else, might not always be the right look for you. For instance, if you have a very round face, an up-do hairstyle might not be the best for you. You have to keep these things in mind as you select your winter wedding hairdo.

Here are some image ideas of winter wedding hairstyles that can get you started on narrowing down a perfect hairdo for yourself!

Winter Wedding Centerpieces

2009-10-24T21:14:00.000-07:00

Here are some fantastic ideas on picking out winter wedding centerpieces. The choices are aplenty. For example, white flowers always appear sophisticated adding a high-class ambiance to your wedding reception. Other flowers that also are great choices include snowdrops, hyacinths and irises. If you are looking to add color to your winter wedding centerpieces, red and green are two good choices. A more muted color choice would be blue, or ice blue. And you can use ice sculptures are your winter wedding centerpieces - but they are a little bit pricey.

Winter Wedding Centerpieces
By Patri Truman

There is always something magical about getting married in the winter, especially around Christmas time. It is the time of year when the family gather together to celebrate the holidays, and so it is just very special if you are planning on getting married around such a festive occasion. But there are so many other advantages when getting married in the winter. If you plan your wedding one year in advance, you can get lots of winter decor objects for your wedding centerpieces the year before at great prices. You just have to make sure you really plan ahead!

So many decorative items get marked down after the holiday season. From lovely poinsettia flowers, to strings of wonderful shiny lights, greeting cards, candles, silk flowers, Christmas decorations... the list is endless.

Your wedding centerpieces could look really great at a very low cost. It is really easy to fire your imagination away and create great winter themed centerpieces. Also, the flowers at this time of the year are just so beautiful and perfect for the occasion, like snowdrops, hyacinths and irises. They can all add a touch of glamor to your wedding centerpieces and at the same time keep them simple and very elegant. White flowers always appear sophisticated adding a high-class ambiance that caters for all ages.

If you want to have a more colorful wedding, try other colors that really match the winter season. Red or green are perfect for the occasion. Red is likely to create a very lively mood. Your centerpieces can really stand out, or you could try mixing red and green with poinsettias and candles around your tables for a more festive theme.

Try to think outside the box. Things like frosted vases, artificial flowers, confetti that could be shaped as small hearts, mistletoe, pine cones, berries, ivy, or even fake snow. Bells can also add a warm Christmas feel to your centerpieces.

If you are not in a low budget, ice sculptures would really impress all of your guests. They could be individually tailored to each one of the tables. Then, have a big sculpture on the main table. That will surely give people something to talk about. Be adventurous; make sure your wedding decor stands out. Fire your imagination and plan well ahead. It will pay off in the end. Also, you don't want to be running around like mad in the last few days before your wedding!

Winter will be upon us very soon! While some of us are dreading the onset of winter, others yet are relishing it. The select few (some say crazy ones) who love winter, will also be the ones to dream about magical winter weddings. Yours truly included.

Here are some fantastic ideas on how to hold a magical winter wedding.

Winter Wedding Magic

Great Winter Tips For Your Unique Wedding
By Paul J Easton

When we think about wintertime, the thoughts coming to our mind are those of snowflakes, pine cones and hanging icicles. Use the winter season and make your theme of a wonderful "white" wedding.

Make your winter wedding special with these unique ideas:

Wedding Colors

Choose your favorite color you want to use for your wedding theme. You can have the traditional colors, such as red and green for the winter season. You can also consider silver and white with crystal accents. Use your favorite color for choosing your wedding dress, the invitation cards, flowers and other decorations.

Invitations

Winter weddings are usually held indoors and they call for more formal invitations. You will find a lot of wedding cards for your winter themed wedding invitation. A fresh idea for a formal winter wedding invitation is to write your invitation on frosted Plexiglas with white or black scripted ink and send them out in silver envelopes. Cocktails and Drinks Take advantage of the winter season. Offer your guest outstanding cocktails and a mouthwatering menu that will keep in your guest's mind for years to come.

Offer your guests a winter cocktail after the official ceremony, such as a Pomegranate Champagne Cocktail. It is a unique twist to the traditional wedding toast of regular bubbles. You can also offer your guests an exclusive warm drink, just right for wintertime. A comforting drink can be a hot chocolate and warm apple cider. Surprise your guests with something new. Have a look on the internet which cocktails will fit to your winter theme.

Wedding menu

You can't go wrong, when you offer a warm soup for your guests as a starter. Even a tasty noodle soup with pasta in heart shapes, with small pieces of meat and fresh vegetables would be a great idea. As a main meal traditionally you could have a tender beef roast, surrounded with potatoes and a lot of different vegetables (red cabbage). In modern times you also have the option to offer a delicious fish or tasty chicken instead of beef. You should have some vegetarian meals on offer as an option for those guests, they do not eat meat. Surprise your guests and finish your meal with a sorbet in a shape of a snow man, surrounded with hot berries.

Decoration

If you are planning a winter themed wedding, most important part is the decoration. Of course, there are not many opportunities for having the wedding outdoor. To get an indoor place such as a big ball room at a club or school would be ideal. The wedding location is very important. It should be a pleasant place, where your guests can enjoy themselves. Are you looking for the latest decoration trends? Ask your friends to build up two real snowmen at the entrance outside, if it is cold enough outside. When using personalized name cards and serviettes with winter designs to match the winter themed colors are also great assets to the table decoration.

If you do not like the idea of fresh flowers for your table decorations, then try this:

Use white or silver helium balloons with winter themed ribbons and tie them up to little decorative sandbags and leave them on the tables. Those balloons look great and this idea is not a very expensive either.

Weddings are always such special days that you want to create and organize something, which makes your wedding unique. I hope that all the tips will help to plan the best event of your life.

Fall Weddings | Ideas for Bridesmaids Dresses

2009-10-02T20:41:00.000-07:00

So you are having a fall wedding. You have picked out your beautiful couture wedding dress, your wedding flowers and settled on fall wedding decorations. Now it is time to select the bridesmaids dresses.

The bridesmaids dresses should be complementary to your overall fall wedding theme. So there are certain tips you should keep in mind when selecting your bridesmaids dresses.

For one, fall bridesmaids dresses should be in rich tones, sleek and made of heavier materials that would be suitable for the fall weather. If the bridesmaids dresses are halter-top or with thin straps, then Accessorize the bridesmaids dresses with stunning and matching pashmina shawls.

Read on for more of such tips on selecting the perfect bridesmaid dresses.

Lovely Fall Bridesmaid Dresses
By Bridget Mora

Fall will be here before you know it, so if you have not yet ordered the bridesmaid dresses for your autumn wedding, now is the time! The styles for fall are different than those you might choose for a summer wedding; they tend to be richer and more understated. Here are some suggestions on how to pick the loveliest bridesmaid dresses for your fall wedding.

No matter when your wedding is going to be, one of the most important factors when dress shopping is determining the level of formality that you want. If you are planning an evening wedding, then floor length bridesmaid dresses will look the most elegant. Daytime weddings will have more flexibility. For fairly traditional weddings, long dresses will tend to be the most classic choice, although tea length can also work well if the bride is wearing a gown with only a short train. If you are having a relaxed rustic style autumn wedding, your bridesmaids can definitely get away with knee length dresses, which most attendants prefer anyway.

Fabric is one of the things that gives an autumn dress the richness that suits the season. Wispy chiffons and organzas are wonderful for the summer months, but they are too insubstantial for chillier weather. Turn to weightier materials like satin, dupioni or shantung, or even a luxurious brocade. Think about incorporating other warm and cozy fabrics like cashmere or mohair in the form of wraps to wear with the bridesmaid dresses.

In terms of style, almost anything goes, as long as it is not too bare for the chillier fall months. If you are planning on strapless bridesmaid dresses, they should definitely be accessorized with wraps or shawls. Spaghetti straps are okay for fall, but a wider strap or even a halter would be a bit more seasonal. Another idea is to choose dresses that tie in with the one shoulder trend that is all the rage right now. This would be a stunning style for a formal wedding when interpreted in a rich copper satin fabric.

Speaking of color, this is really where you can give your bridesmaid dresses an autumnal flair. It is best to stay away from light pastels, and instead go with hues that have some depth and richness to them. Chocolate brown, burgundy, and bronze are some of the most gorgeous fall colors. You can also think about selecting a bridesmaid dress in a color like deep yellow or sage green that is not dark, but that has the right richness for fall.

The perfect bridesmaid dresses deserve the perfect accessories. Sets of customized bridesmaid jewelry make wonderful gifts from the bride. You can have bridesmaid jewelry sets handcrafted in Swarovski crystals or pearls to match the color of the dresses your attendants will be wearing. Also think about their shoes. While it is really better to allow each attendant to choose the shoes that she finds most comfortable, for a later fall wedding, you might want to request that your bridesmaids wear closed toe shoes. There are many fabulous options beyond basic pumps or flats, including mules, slingbacks, and D'orsay pumps.

The warmth of autumn makes it a beautiful time to have your wedding. Your bridesmaid dresses should also strive to capture the richness and texture of the season in terms of color, fabric, and style. With these tips in mind, you will be sure to find absolutely stunning dresses for your bridesmaids that will enhance the style of your wedding.

Couture Bridal Gowns | Blue Wedding Dress

2009-09-25T05:39:00.001-07:00

Did you ever wonder where the phrase "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" that became a wedding custom come from?

Well, so did we! So we did some research on it, and it turns out it has its roots in a poem from England.

The complete poem is:

Something old, something new
Something borrowed, something blue
And a silver sixpence in her shoe.

This is what we found out:

A sixpence is a coin that was minted in Britain from 1551 to 1967. It was made of silver and worth six pennies. So this wedding tradition is definitely English, and many sources say that it began in the Victorian era.

Each item in this poem represents a good-luck token for the bride. If she carries all of them on her wedding day, her marriage will be happy. "Something old" symbolizes continuity with the bride's family and the past. "Something new" means optimism and hope for the bride's new life ahead. "Something borrowed" is usually an item from a happily married friend or family member, whose good fortune in marriage is supposed to carry over to the new bride. The borrowed item also reminds the bride that she can depend on her friends and family.

A silver sixpence in the bride's shoe represents wealth and financial security. It may date back to a Scottish custom of a groom putting a silver coin under his foot for good luck. For optimum fortune, the sixpence should be in the left shoe. These days, a dime or a copper penny is sometimes substituted, and many companies sell keepsake sixpences for weddings.

And...

Blue has been connected to weddings for centuries. In ancient Rome, brides wore blue to symbolize love, modesty, and fidelity. Christianity has long dressed the Virgin Mary in blue, so purity was associated with the color. Before the late 19th century, blue was a popular color for wedding gowns, as evidenced in proverbs like, "Marry in blue, lover be true."

So today, we focus on couture bridal gowns in blue!

Fall Weding Decorations Ideas

2009-09-22T18:31:00.000-07:00

Decorating for a fall wedding can be an interesting challenge. It takes creativity to be able to come up with a perfect fall wedding. Fall weddings are considered one of the more romantic times to hold a wedding. There is something about the fall weather, fallen leaves, the beautiful colors and the overall atmosphere that gives weight to the idea that fall weddings are most romantic.

Fall wedding decorations are also relatively easy to come up with. The colors of the fall season are inspiration enough from the yellows to the browns and to the reds. Fall wedding decorations also can borrow from nature elements to lend a rustic and homely feel to the wedding.

There are many different things a couple can do for their fall wedding. If the wedding is held in early fall when the weather is a perfect, not too warm or too cold, then they can hold the wedding outdoors. An outdoor wedding would be great against the backdrop of the glorious colors of fall. Imagine the fallen leaves, the vibrant colors on the trees. An ideal location for an outdoor wedding would be a local farm, orchard or even a botanical garden.

However, if an outdoor wedding is not your cup of tea, or if you are holding your fall wedding little later in the season, then an indoor wedding would be great. For an indoor fall wedding, one would have to bring nature indoors - by incorporating fall colors into the table decor from the flowers to the table centerpieces.

When it comes to decorations for a fall wedding, flowers are still best to have in the walkway. For fall wedding decorations, daisies, sweet williams, chrysanthemums and colorful mums are some of the best flowers to use. Wedding reception decorations in the fall theme can adorn the entrance to the reception area and can have an arc made of dried leaves, dry grasses and haystack. The whole area can be donned with lamps and lights wrapped in colorful papers or cloths. A fall wedding can have a color scheme of orange, red and yellow.

A good match for the fall wedding decorations would be an off-white or cream-colored gown for the bridesmaids (see below for picture suggestions). For a more traditional touch of fall wedding, the entourage can have an orange motif. If the couple wants a more modern approach to the season, light blue motif would be a fine choice. The weather during fall season can be a bit unpredictable. To be on the safe side, it would be best if bridesmaids would wear thin-strapped, or maybe strapless, gowns with matching shawls or wraps. If the usual cold front will not be felt during the wedding ceremony, the ladies can just take off their wraps and be comfortable and cool enough with their gowns.

What Does Couture Mean?

A lot of people throw around the word "couture" withour really understanding what it means. Couture is simply high fashion designing and dressmaking. This goes back in time to the mid-1800s in Europe, where couture garments were specially made (tailored) for the customer. Couture garments are designed to look absolutely stunning on clients, with fits customized to the client's body, way of movement, and personal style. The detailing on couture garments such as beading and embroidery is always done by hand, representing hours and sometimes months of labor.

Today, couture garments also require customization and fittings.

With ready-made bridal gowns to choose over couture bridal gowns, and at lesser price tags too, why would a bride opt for couture bridal gowns?

Take some time to read this expert article (see below) on why there are still many brides out there who opt for couture bridal gowns.

Why Choose a Custom Or Couture Wedding Gown?
By Laura Firenze

There are thousands of wedding gowns from which a bride can choose, so many in fact that it can seem absolutely overwhelming. With so many choices available, does it really make sense to consider having your wedding gown custom made? The answer is yes, and it is not only the rich and famous who order one-of-a-kind wedding dresses. These are some of the reasons why you might want to choose a custom or couture bridal gown.

First of all, there is something that needs to be cleared up, and that is the true meaning of the word couture. The term has been misappropriated and misused to the point where many women have lost sight of what it even means. When you see an off-the-rack mass-manufacturer of wedding dresses calling themselves "Such and such Couture Bridal", you should be aware that they are trying to make themselves into something they are not. Couture is always a unique garment that is carefully handmade for one specific person, and made using only the finest materials and techniques. Haute couture refers properly only to a group of specially designated French designers, although it is reasonable enough for an American designer handcrafting top quality custom wedding gowns to refer to them as couture as well.

The reasons to order a custom or couture gown are as varied as the women who do so. You may be surprised to hear that one of the most common reasons is for fit. If a bride has a difficult figure or is simply two different sizes on the top and bottom, she may actually find it less expensive to have her gown custom made by a talented seamstress than to order a wedding gown that needs drastic alterations or pattern changes.

To make a distinction, true haute couture bridal gowns run into the six figures, but a well made custom wedding dress from a local designer can run you much, much less. It depends on where you live and who you are hiring, but for a top quality custom gown, expect it to start at a bit more than a comparable gown from a good designer. (Of course keep in mind that you will not have the alteration charges for a custom made dress that you would for one you order.) Handmade gowns will naturally be in a completely different price range than the mass-produced dresses, but that is really apples to oranges.

Certainly one of the other primary reasons to order a custom gown for your wedding is style. This can be as simple as liking the bodice from one dress and the skirt from another and asking your seamstress to make one gown combining the two designs. In other cases, a bride may have a desire for something that is offbeat that she would never find in a readymade bridal gown. Having your gown custom made just for you allows you all sorts of options such as unique materials, interesting colors, or an unusual cut or silhouette.

If you do opt for a handcrafted gown, be sure to pay equal attention to your accessories. The wrong ones can detract from the special wedding dress that you invested so much of yourself into creating. Timeless pieces like bridal jewelry sets with a cultured pearl bracelet, necklace, and pair of earrings are one lovely idea. Brides who like to mix the classic with the contemporary can layer and stack some bold and fun crystal bracelets in with the cultured pearl bridal bracelet.

Custom made wedding dresses have many advantages over those that are already designed. If you are looking for a unique gown that fits your vision of a dream bridal gown and fits you to a tee, you will be happiest with a gown that is made especially for you. The most important reason to choose a custom or couture wedding gown is that it will be a true original, just like the bride who wears it.

Laura is interested in wedding planning and wedding trends including jewelry,receptions and gifts. Cultured pearl bridal bracelets are always elegant and tasteful.

Fall Wedding Favors Ideas

2009-09-20T21:17:00.000-07:00

We at Couture Bridal Designs believe that fall weddings are some of the most gorgeous weddings since there are so many deep, rich colors to choose from. If you have already selected a color theme, then the easiest way to select your fall wedding favors would be to stay in the same color family as your wedding color.

For example, if your color is warm red, then beautiful reddish tinged wedding favor boxes filled with chocolate kisses is a fun way to thank your guests. Or if your color is burgundy, then burgundy photo frame/coaster favors would look fantastic on your table. These are just some of the ideas you can incorporate for your fall wedding to make it an elegant affair to remember.

Read to get ideas on fall wedding favors for autumn colors; usually in the family of reds, yellows, greens and browns.

Fall Wedding Favors For Autumn Colors
By Lindy Smart

So you are planning a fall wedding. Your ceremony is a huge project to take on and every detail to your wedding must be perfect. You want to remember your wedding and your wedding reception for the rest of your life as one of the happiest memories you have ever had. If you want an elegant reception to a simple yet uniformed reception you must remember the fall wedding favors.

Decorate with fall tea lights to add ambiance to your wedding reception. You can light them for the ambiance or leave them and use them for the name tag holders of your guests. Either way it is pure elegance.

Gorgeous frosted fall leaf coasters are a wonderful fall wedding favor to give your guests. Every time they use your glass coaster they will be reminded of the lovely wedding and time they had at your reception.

Another fall leaf design is the maple leaf on a coaster. The maple leaf is articulately done on a cork coaster. Stamped to perfection.

You can even order a favor of a coaster that lets your guest put their own photograph inside. They may end up putting one of your wedding photos as bride and groom in the coaster for memories. Or maybe a picture of themselves with the new couple.

Fall colored leaf soap pedals are simply gorgeous in the autumn colors of green, yellow and burgundy. You can almost see the leaves outside change their glorious colors now.

A small guest photo album is just the thing for your guests to take home with them as a wedding favor. The photo album has dainty pressed leaves right on the album cover. Your guests can put some of their favorite photos and or reception party photos in their album.

Just about everyone loves a candle. As a fall wedding favor please your guests with a fall colored gel candle. Wrapped delicately in a sheer bag for just that added extra touch.

A little something different for a fall wedding favor is a book mark that is elegantly shaped into a leaf. The leaf is gracefully cut out and will bring guests smiles to their faces when relaxing with a good book when they take a break and think of you two.

Brides tend to choose white for their wedding dresses. But there are many young brides today who want a splash of non-traditional designer wedding dresses. And there a great many bridal designers who have responded to this demand for designer wedding dresses with color. This article focuses on color options for designer wedding dresses and ends with selections of exquisite designer wedding dresses witb color

Color Options For Designer Wedding Dresses
By Joanna Brown

Once upon a time, wedding dresses were all white, beaded lace and floor-length gowns that trailed across the floor in a graceful manner. It seemed that all brides were offered the same limited selections for their wedding, regardless of their personality or individual tastes. Too often, brides who preferred a dress with more pizzazz and color were sadly left with too few options.

Thankfully, times have changed. Today, the modern bride has many more styles from which to choose her wedding gown, and her color selections are limited only by her own imagination and sense of style. Now that some of the world's most talented designers are diving into wedding fashions and creating gowns as colorful as they are elegant, this truly is a significant and wonderful time to get married.

While there are some brides who love the thought of walking down the aisle in the same bold hues as her beautiful bridal party, most only want a way to add their own flair to their already classic beauty and timeless elegance. In order to help narrow down all the fabulous choices of colors from which to choose, below is an introduction to the color options available for designer wedding dresses.

Change the Color

Sometimes, while shopping for the perfect wedding gown, you find the dress of your dreams but are disappointed with the bland white color that every other bride seems to be donning. Instead of settling for a dress you are not completely happy with, first check to see if the specific style you want is available in any additional colors. By utilizing the expertise available, you may find that the designer original, complete with an Alencon lace trimmed train that you simply adore, is also available in a breathtaking champagne hue. The way the light subtly diffuses off of this classic and intricate fabric will be nothing short of eye-catching, even on the bride with the perfectly porcelain complexion.

Perhaps it is not the white dress that leaves you wanting more, but the fact that so many white gowns can appear insipid once you try it on. An excellent alternative is to look for a dress in the most brilliant shade of diamond white that one can find. A strapless ball gown with a full, flowing panel-draped skirt is sure to be as exquisite on your special day as it is on the hanger. English Net paired with a brilliant white ribbon around your waist will ensure this dress attracts many murmured "oohs" and "aahs" as you take those first steps down the aisle towards the love of your life. To complete your timeless style, a hand-draped bodice is another stunning feature available in many modern designer wedding gowns.

Accent Your Waist

Giving the unsuspecting eye a place to rest can enhance the natural beauty of nearly any shade of wedding gown. Consider the strapless Silk Organza ball gown in ivory. This timeless gown is a versatile and classic style complete with a pleated organza bodice. However, a simple modification around the waist can take this dress from elegant to extraordinary. By adding a belt of Panne Velvet with a painstaking crystal trim, this dress adds the illusion of color without taking away from its elegant charm.

Another option for the strapless ball gown in silk satin is to add a wide obi belt with dazzling crystals. A particularly stunning option is to add the belt in a contrasting color, or one that beautifully ties in with the hues of your bridal party. Windsor blue against a white dress is a look that can standout without going overboard. An even better option is a belt that also sports a bow and full-length sash tying in the back, adding a splash of subdued color to this A-line gown in an elaborate and dramatic way.

Add an Embellishment

Perhaps the most stunning look for the modern bride is the bold use of black on your Silk Taffeta gown. This sweetheart neckline demands to be admired with its beaded bodice encrusted with crystals referred to as "black ice." These daring gems are featured prominently across the bodice of the gown and in a band down the side of the skirt. The train features handmade black bows illuminating youthful elegance. For the extra-daring bride, a black wrap can complete this look in a glamorous fashion.

While all of the jewels and gemstones can provide an attention-grabbing addition to the standard silk and cotton Faille gown, they are not the only thing that makes this unique dropped torso ivory dress one of as kind. Subtle satin sashes which are adorned with additional jewels and feathers in rich shades of black and brown make this gown a must-have this season. Your guests will not know whether to admire your sense of style or the way you look in this feminine and flirtatious original.

Choosing the perfect designer wedding shoes for that complements your wedding dress is not as easy as it seems. I had a friend who found the perfect designer wedding shoes for her wedding. There were high heeled designer wedding shoes that made her appear tall and elegant in her glittering beaded wedding dress. But when it came time to dance the first dance with the groom at the wedding dinner recpetion, she found it impossible to do it in her designer wedding shoes!

What a waste. So she had to remive the beautiful designer wedding shoes to dance. But then her wedding dress was much too long for her when she was no longer wearing the high heeled designer wedding shoes. A perfect day ruined by a simple oversight.

So brides, please please take the time to select your designer wedding shoes. Just because you paid tons of money for it, are branded and look great does not make it a perfect pair. Take the time to walk around the house with the designer wedding shoes on. Dance in them. Remember as the bride, you will be on your feet for hours end on from the ceremony to the photo-taking to the reception.

Wedding Hairstyles for Couture Wedding Dress

2009-09-15T07:25:00.000-07:00

One of the more important decisions a bride has to make regarding her overall bridal image is her choice of wedding hairstyle. The wedding hairstyle is essential to the overall 'look' of the wedding day.

What kind of wedding dress was picked for the wedding day? Is the wedding dress soft and romantic, Grecian styled or more traditional? It is really important that the bride feels comfortable on her wedding day.

Many brides choose the classic up-do. It is a lovely bridal hairstyle. But the half-up hairstyle is also a great alternative to the updo hairstyle. It allows you to create a little bit of height at the back of your hair, while still having some softness around your face. Soft curls are popular at the moment and are good for creating more volume.

Wedding Hairstyles - 7 Tips For Your Wedding Day Tresses
By Cori Russell

Want to ensure your wedding day style is a hair "do," and not a hair "don't". Then read on!

1. Do your research

This is the fun part. Take some time to explore your options before settling on one hairstyle. Browse wedding and other style magazines, and visit the Elegala.com wedding hairstyles gallery to get inspired.

2. Complement Your Look

Your wedding hairstyle should flatter your dress and overall look - not complete with it. Use your dress style and the formality of the event as your guide. Dresses with halter necklines, ballgown silhouettes, or plunging backs practically scream for an updo. An unbuttoned beachside affair calls for long loose waves. You get the idea.

3. Know Yourself

Your face greets you in the mirror every morning, and you and your hair go way back, so chances are you already know which hairstyles flatter your face and which fall flat. Even if you don't, here are some pointers: A long, thin face will look more so with a long, straight 'do, and ears that stick out a tad too far will be accentuated by a pulled back 'do. Along those lines, don't attempt a look that isn't you just because it's your wedding. Remember - your goal should be to look like your best version of you, not someone else.

4. Heed the Weather

Make sure your wedding hairstyle will work with the day's weather conditions. This tip is especially crucial for weddings in humid climates. Do yourself - and your hair - a favor; don't force a curly mane into a sleek straight 'do for an outdoor New Orleans wedding in July.

5. Get the Right Length

Remember that many of the wedding hairstyles shown in magazines require long hair. The good news is that longer tresses can be achieved both naturally and artificially. You can either start growing it early or use clip-on extensions for added volume and length on the big day.

6. Book Your Stylist

If you love your usual stylist and are getting married locally, make sure he or she is available on your date. Otherwise, start auditioning stylists for the big day. Many hair stylists also offer makeup services and are willing to travel, while others do not.

7. Work with the Veil

Don't forget that your hairstyle and veil must work well together, so you'll really need to plan one around the other. If you've already got the veil, bring it to your stylist before the wedding so he/she can create a style that complements both you and the headpiece. Of if you're set on a certain hairstyle, have your stylist do a trial run on the same day that you plan to shop for your veil. This way you can easily determine what style of veil will work best.
