do you have your undergarments?

Do you have the right undergarments all ready for your big day? 
To me, this is something that needs to take a little more thought then just a shopping trip. Finding your undergarments is a huge necessity. You are going to have to try on your dress with the undergarments that you have picked out and make sure that they look perfect with your amazing wedding dress. Something else that is very important is that you HAVE to make sure that they are comfortable for you to wear all day and night. For brides, this is a really long and tiring day. You will start out early with getting ready, then pictures, the ceremony, and then the reception. Find undergarments that are comfortable but sexy, because all of know that there is always the “wedding night”! The last thing that you want your undergarments to do is make your dress look bulky or show lines. 

Something that you might want to consider is going and getting a properly fitted bra and make sure you have the right size to reduce the bulges and pinches. You will want to have a seamless look from you neck all the way down to your toes. Some of the different bras that you could find to wear are a corset bra, an original strapless bra, a built in bra in your wedding dress, backless bras, and low back bras. 
Personally, if I see a bride that has straps showing, it just doesn’t look good; so make sure that you find a comfortable enough one that will not show.

plus size wedding dresses.

Are you worried about finding your perfect dress because you don’t have the model body? Please don’t stress over it and get upset about this issue. When you look at pictures from previous weddings, every bride really does find a dress that always looks wonderful on them. There are some designers that have wedding dresses that are designed for a plus size bride. Because of this, you should feel a sense of relief because the designers are thinking about every bride that would be purchasing a dress from them and they want every bride to be able to find their perfect wedding dress, no matter what the size.

From a personal perspective, I personally don’t have a model body and hate having to go shopping for jeans. After trying on a certain number of jeans, I just want to leave the store and quit shopping for the day. This might be the case for some of you brides out there, and that is okay. You will have plenty of time find the perfect dress. 
Remember to have fun, relax and enjoy yourself because you will want this experience to be a great memory to look back on.
The website that I got the pictures from to show you some of the plus size dresses is http://www.tonysbridal.net/. They have many dresses on there and many different designers that you can choose from. 

As you can see, all of these brides look amazing in the dress that they are wearing. All you have to do is keep looking and you will eventually find the perfect dress that you have always dreamt of.

dresses for cheap.


Every bride is different when it comes to finding their perfect wedding dress. In this case, some don’t have a budget at all and others will be counting their pennies because they have a certain amount that they can’t go over. Sometimes they have it planned out that their mother and father will be paying for it, their aunt, sisters, grandparents, or just the bride. Every bride has different relationships with their family. Brides that think that they can’t find their perfect wedding dress for cheaper then normal are wrong. There are plenty of dresses out there that are just as gorgeous as the expensive couture dresses.

When you do have a strict budget, it may take some more searching because you will be limited to just a certain number of dresses that are in your price range. I was searching on-line and found a couple of different website that offer wholesale dresses and even closeout dresses. If you wanted to go with this option, the best way to approach this is that you would find the dress you want in a store and then go online to find it and you would get is cheaper on these websites.

Or, if brides that knew what kind of style, fabric, and design of the dress that they wanted, you could always chance it and buy it and then always return it if you didn’t end up liking it.
The pictures that I have posted came from http://www.lightinthebox.com/ 
I have also posted how much these dresses are. You can see that if you were to purchase any of these dresses, that you would be getting a really good deal!!

all about the beach.

Some brides have always wanted to go somewhere out of their hometown and fly somewhere amazing and get married. Others would never do it if their life depended on it. That is why there are so many different options to make your wedding day become the biggest and most wonderful day in your life. For the brides that have always dreamt of having their wedding on a sandy beach, with the sun glistening over the water and being able to hear the water splash just feet away, this blog post is just for you. 

It should give you some insight on what you should consider when picking out your perfect wedding dress.A dress that is sleek and shiny are always a good choice because they are more on an sexy dress that will look amazing next to the ocean water. Some brides have chosen a dress that flows with the wind and that all is a dress that just looks perfect when you’re standing on the sand.

Of course when you are choosing a dress that the wedding will be taken place on a beach, you will not want to have a huge ball gown for this at atmosphere. You might want to start looking at dresses that are lighter then some of the traditional dresses. Another thing to consider is that of course you will be flying to arrive at your destination and you will be transporting your dress I assume. Keep in mind that you will have to pack you destination-wedding dress.

The below pictures are some examples of dresses that are designed for a beach wedding in particular. But, of course, if you love the dress you see here, it doesn’t mean you have to get married on a beach to wear it!!

short wedding dresses.


When you are searching for your perfect wedding dress, don’t get something that you won’t love. If you don’t want to get a long dress with a cathedral train, then don’t. Do what you want to do because when it comes down to it, this day will be all about you. If you have always pictured yourself in a short, playful wedding dress, then try and find what you have always envisioned. Trust me, there are some short wedding dresses that are to die for, you may just have to look a little bit harder. Some of the reasons why brides may choose a short wedding dress over a long and traditional dress is if the wedding is more informal, on a beach, at a court house, a summer/spring wedding, or even if the bride just wants to be different!

Short wedding dresses are also becoming very popular for brides that want to have two different dresses for their big day. They will a formal and elegant dress for their ceremony and then at some point during their reception, they will switch into a more playful and sexy short dress.

I have posted some pictures of short dresses to let you know that there are many different styles that could very possibly fit what you have always dreamt of. I hope this helps you to better understand that short dresses are acceptable and that there are some really beautiful ones out there!

all about the lace.

Which one of you brides has always wanted and dreamt of having a lace dress? This blog post is going to inform you on everything you need to know about finding your perfect lace dress. All fabrics that wedding dresses use are all beautiful, but none of them come close to how romantic and historical lace is.
Back in history, when a bride would wear lace at her wedding, this demonstrated the wealth of your family and prosperity. It would tell everyone that you came from a wealthy family and that you could afford to get married in a lace wedding dress. Things have changed since then, and that is not what people think of when they attend a wedding. Now you see more lace on a dining room table or in the house, but you do not see it as a symbol of wealth.
Lace wedding dresses are still around though. 
They are very popular in the wedding dress world. But now, you can see lace not only as the whole dress but little bits and pieces of lace throughout the bride’s attire for her big day. For instance, in her veil, as an sash around her waist, of course the all over lace look, or even just lace being placed on the skirt or top of the dress.
I have found pictures of many different styles and patterns of lace from


 I felt like this website had a huge array of different styles that would help you understand that lace can be placed just about anywhere when you are finding your perfect dress. Also, there are actually more pictures on that website if you want to keep looking at all of these dresses that have lace on them.

how your dress can alter your appearance.


When you are finding your perfect dress, you need to keep in mind that the shape of your dress will alter your appearance from the way if fits your body and how your body is shaped.
Here are five appearances that can be altered. 
Use this list below to find what you are trying to alter and you can use these tips if you want to change your appearance while trying on wedding dresses.
When you are choosing your wedding dress and if you want to:
Appear taller
You want to find a dress that has a high neckline. An empire waist also helps in this appearance. An accessory that can help is to wear a sleeveless dress with gloves or a dress that has short sleeves.
Appear slender
 High waistlines such as princess style or A-line will make you look slender by lengthening out your torso. Finding a dress with vertical lines in the fabric or trim details will also make you look slender and scoop necks are also affective. Something that you need to avoid are ruffles, puffy sleeves and clingy fabrics.
De-emphasize the bust line
 To make your bust-line not so noticeable, dresses with scoop necks, high necklines and v-necks help with this appearance. Something to avoid and that will make the bust-line look bigger are empire or cinched waists.
De-emphasize height
 By having a drop waist, wide belt, or waistline adornments will make your height appear shorter. Also, because of your height, it enables you to wear a hat or dramatic veil without being overpowered.
Appear less slender
 To make you appear less slender, choose a dress with heavier
fabrics, a bodice that has details, or even gathered and large sleeves.

I gathered this information from http://www.wednet.com/. This article also provides brides some really good information about wedding dress.

add some color to your dress.


Do you want to match your bridesmaids, but don’t know how to incorporate the color into what you are wearing as the bride? Adding color to your dress can bring the whole wedding together by matching all of the colors perfectly and by showing a sense of togetherness. 
You can have as little touch of color on your dress or having a lot of color depending on what you have in vision for your perfect dress.
Another idea for some bride’s out there is that, do you want something different just only the reception? How about adding the sash around your waist just for the reception. 
Some of these dresses, the sash is detachable which would be perfect, 
others the color is part of the dress, which would now work out in this case. 
I just thought that I would just give you some ideas!

Here are some pictures to help you out on how much color you actually want on your dress. All of these pictures came from David’s Bridal. 






The link for the David’s Bridal “Add a pop of Color” website is
