A cruise ship is virtually a floating paradise for vacationers, provided your time on it is safe and sound. The following article will provide you with tips to staying secure on board and thus being able to fully enjoy your intended getaway.<br />
<br />
Get to know a staff member or two, and ask about life saving procedures. Having a go-to person on board who knows the inner workings of cruise ship fun and safety will go a long way toward providing you with comfort and good advice. Be sure to find out how to use a lifeboat and exactly what would happen should any emergency situation arise. Make a point of seeing your go-to person at least once a day and, if appropriate, tip him or her well!<br />
<br />
Remain in the areas of the ship that are well populated and regulated. Don't be venturing off by yourself to dark and desolate corners where danger could lurk. You want to be visible to others at all times, and avoid leaving yourself vulnerable. Even romantic strolls for two can be risky, so make it a point of enjoying the ship in well lit and populated areas.<br />
<br />
Travel to port with the other travelers. Exotic and beautiful ports have much to offer you in terms of sightseeing, exotic treats and souvenir shopping. Even if you are not interested in a particular shore destination, avoid staying behind on an empty or near empty ship. While in port, try to remain part of the group as much as possible for added safety.</div><a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Never leave your cabin door unlocked. Even if you are just running out for ice or something else very quick, take no chances when it comes to being vulnerable inside your room. Would-be thieves look for every opportunity to sneak by your guard, and although less likely, a possible attacker could gain access and wait for your return. "Expect the best, prepare for the worst" is great advice when you are on a cruise.<br />
<br />
Don't overdo the alcohol. It can be tempting to let loose on your well-deserved vacation and really get into the partying. But a cruise ship is just not the place for a stumbling, swaying and intoxicated person who does not have his or her bearings. Have a drink or two and mix and mingle, but make absolutely certain that you have your wits about you at all times.<br />
<br />
Pack lightly. You don't want to be lugging around a ton of baggage or giving yourself more things to worry about. Select a few appropriate outfits for evening, some casual mix and match items for daytime and port calls, and however many swimsuits you wish to alternate. The ship is self-contained, and you will find relaxation and fun supersedes dress codes at nearly every event. Also, you need to have space in your luggage to bring back unique and exotic souvenirs!<br />
<br />
Cruise ships can be a great way to spend your vacation. They offer a unique take on ocean views you can't get anywhere else, and really allow you some rest and relaxation by presenting you with everything you need just outside your door. Keep these tips in mind for a safe and happy cruise that will provide you with great memories for years to come.<br />

However, trying to organize a perfect winter honeymoon whilst also attempting to plan and orchestrate a dream winter wedding can be a stressful and chaotic experience for the soon to be married couple.<br />
<br />
Honeymoons are designed to give recently married couples valuable time to relax and enjoy their first few days of married life without the everyday problems and stresses of home. Yet, if the winter honeymoon is not organized effectively, then many of these stresses and problems could follow you to your honeymoon destination!<br />
<br />
If you are having trouble organizing a dream winter honeymoon, then do not despair. There are many tips available to help you organize your honeymoon more effectively.<br />
<br />
Plan Early<br />
<br />
It is always best to start organizing a winter honeymoon as soon as possible. While many couples do not like to start organizing their honeymoon until their wedding ceremony has been thoroughly organized, by starting to plan your winter honeymoon at an early stage, you are able to avoid many of the problems associated with making last-minute decisions.<br />
<br />
Starting to plan early also gives you better ideas about what you and your partner would like to gain from the honeymoon. Your honeymoon should reflect both of you. Make separate lists of places you would each like to visit and why. By comparing these lists you might find a mutual dream winter honeymoon destination, or maybe even discover a winter honeymoon destination you have never even considered before!</div><a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Planning early can also have many financial benefits. As well as being able to save money by booking in advance, your choice of destination and accommodation is usually much more extensive than those who book their honeymoon at the last minute.<br />
<br />
Remember the best honeymoon is often planned to start at least a couple of days after the actual wedding day. This gives you plenty of time to get organized, especially if you are travelling by plane to your winter honeymoon destination.<br />
<br />
Funding a Winter Honeymoon<br />
<br />
Although a winter honeymoon is often cheaper than a summer honeymoon, finding the money to fund your dream winter honeymoon can be difficult, especially with the rising cost of weddings. While many couples sometimes decide to post-pone their honeymoon until they have saved enough money, the longer you wait to go on your honeymoon, the lower your chances become of actually getting the time to go on a honeymoon!<br />
<br />
Ideally the honeymoon should be taken within the first month of marriage. If your budget is tight and you still crave for your dream winter honeymoon then compromising on the length of stay is a good way to the reduce costs of a winter honeymoon.<br />
<br />
Another idea is to start a honeymoon fund as soon as you decide to get married. Ask friends and family to add to this honeymoon fund instead of providing you with the usual wedding day gifts, and make sure you set aside some of your own money each month to put into this fund. Remember to keep this fund separate from the money you have saved to pay for the wedding. This way you do not get tempted to spend it on buying an over budget wedding dress or expensive catering!<br />
<br />
Choose a Winter Honeymoon Location that suits you both<br />
<br />
Whilst one of the most popular destinations for a romantic summer honeymoon is the flawless white beaches of Fiji, winter honeymoons can usually provide plenty of inspiring choices for the soon to be married couple.<br />
<br />
For a truly romantic and magical honeymoon, the beautiful snow-covered woodlands of Metskartano in Finland, provides a wonderful winter honeymoon destination. With day-time activities such as skiing, dog sledge rides, and snowmobiling, there are plenty of things to keep you active and having fun. During the evenings, the warm open log fires, and clear night skies provide many special moments for a loving couple to share. Finland also provides many spectacular opportunities to see the northern lights!<br />
<br />
Whether you are looking for an action-packed honeymoon or a more relaxing honeymoon, Finland has many wonderful holiday opportunities for those honeymooning in the winter period. From staying in a cosy log cabin, to a more unique stay in an ice hotel, Finland appears to have it all! However, if you want to escape from the cold, then winter honeymoons do not have to be all snow-laden mountains, log cabins, and enchanting forests.<br />
<br />
Destinations such as the Caribbean and Hawaii still provide honeymooners with plenty of sun, sea and surf in the winter months. For other warm destinations with a difference, why not try Egypt or Dubai? Both these destinations have many sights to offer those planning a honeymoon in the sun. For an amazing honeymoon which incorporates adventure, enjoying a winter honeymoon safari in Africa, or visiting Machu Picchu in Peru are great honeymoon ideas worth considering.<br />
<br />
A winter honeymoon in London, Paris, Venice, or New York is not to be missed, even if it is cold outside. With many hotels providing beautiful luxury honeymoon suites in these romantic cities, you do not have to go far from your room to enjoy your winter honeymoon!<br />
<br />
Shop Around<br />
<br />
There are lots of travel companies out there. So make sure you get the best deal on your honeymoon by shopping around. With the recent global recession many travel agents are significantly reducing the cost of their honeymoon packages to try and encourage more honeymooners to book with them. By comparing the cost of honeymoon packages on your local high street and the internet, you can make huge savings.<br />
<br />
Enjoying your Winter Honeymoon<br />
<br />
Finally when you are on your honeymoon, do not be scared to tell the world! You will be surprised how many complimentary services you can take advantage of when travelling and staying abroad as a honeymoon couple.<br />
<br />
Also remember to spend some time apart during your honeymoon. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. So by partaking in different activities once in a while, you can give each other some distance and not only avoid unnecessary arguments and stress ruining your honeymoon, but also make your marriage bond stronger.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's not something that many people will see underneath your wedding dress yet finding the perfect wedding shoes is of utmost importance. For many women their wardrobes are crammed full of diverse selection of footwear, from boots to ballet pump, stilettos to flip flops, accessorising your outfit with the right pair of shoes can be the finishing touch and make you feel good too.</div><a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
On your wedding day a vast proportion of it will be spent on your feet. From stepping into the wedding car, to the walk down the aisle to greet the person you are going to exchange vows with, posing for the endless amount of photographs, greeting your array of guests and grooving the night away those poor tootsies of yours are going to be doing a lot of work! Your wedding shoes therefore play a vital part in your big day and are an important bridal wear accessory. You don't want to get it wrong and spend your wedding day in pain covered in sores and blisters.<br />
<br />
There are several key factors to take into consideration which include comfort, style, height and colour. Comfort sits together with the style and there are many style variations to choose from. Sandals, ballet pumps, mules and heels, even flip flops, trainers and wellington boots. The style is very much a personal choice and preference, however you should select a style with a heel height that you are happy and comfortable to be in all day and all night too. If you're not normally a high heel wearer then it is not a sensible idea to choose to have some as your wedding shoes. Tripping down the aisle or falling down the church steps is unlikely to be the look you or those with a camera envisaged! If you really can't bear the thought of not having those stilettos that you fell in love with all those months ago when you got engaged then you could always pop on a pair of lower heeled shoes or flats for later on in the day when you, your feet and legs can hardly stand any longer! If you like the idea of being taller on your special day then platform shoes are a great choice as your weight is distributed over the whole of your foot, a much kinder and gentler choice of footwear!<br />
<br />
When thinking about the type of heel height you desire the do remember to take into consideration the height of your groom. Does he and yourself have a preference to whether you are towering over him at the altar and in the photographs?<br />
<br />
It is imperative that you have chosen the shoes you will be wearing on your wedding day prior to having your first fitting. You will be required to wear them, along with the exact underwear and any hoop or underskirt you will be wearing on your wedding day. This is so the seamstress or dressmaker altering your gown can ensure that the length of your wedding gown is perfect and can adjust it if necessary. It may be possible to work out your shoe height around the length of your bridal gown to assist with saving money on alteration costs.<br />
<br />
Many wedding shoes are ivory but have the option to be sent away to be professionally dyed to enable you to get an exact match to your wedding dress, ideal if your gown is a champagne colour or another unusual colour. After your wedding day you could look into having them dyed again to a colour that you wear more often to get plenty of wear out of them. Do ensure if you're wearing tights or stockings on your wedding day then try on shoes with some rather than your multi coloured striped socks as the fit and sizing will be totally different.lipbyoviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16570257278082046508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791058073492002773.post-24042448546007374742012-05-04T21:06:00.000-07:002012-05-04T21:06:51.553-07:00Choosing Your Bridal Makeup Artist<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCSyKD__5KcilxyKe3zvhtnd_3K-PYZORfHUdLKmOlp7FngUIAh_nsh8dPWc6qRVt87Wi-I801suTu5oQv0Jsj1DAfqQcRtUADdrAMYEBrUAuNkFfqWSZWU2d1smBLbcdDu3KVZuqxQx8/s1600/makeup+wedding+by+aldo+akira+makeup+artist.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCSyKD__5KcilxyKe3zvhtnd_3K-PYZORfHUdLKmOlp7FngUIAh_nsh8dPWc6qRVt87Wi-I801suTu5oQv0Jsj1DAfqQcRtUADdrAMYEBrUAuNkFfqWSZWU2d1smBLbcdDu3KVZuqxQx8/s400/makeup+wedding+by+aldo+akira+makeup+artist.jpg" width="341" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.zoeclark.com/images/bridal_zoe_clark_makeup_artist_main_image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.zoeclark.com/images/bridal_zoe_clark_makeup_artist_main_image.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.bridalpk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Bridal-Makeup.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="288" src="http://www.bridalpk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Bridal-Makeup.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.toronto-makeup-artist.com/irene/images/web_irene_wedding_04.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://www.toronto-makeup-artist.com/irene/images/web_irene_wedding_04.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">All brides are going to look stunning on their wedding day. Whether a friend has applied the makeup or a professional makeup artist has; however sometimes bad things happen and thing don't go quite according to plan. The hair might fall out of place or come un-done all together the makeup may be too heavy or to light...Murphy's law is sometimes more powerful then the best wedding day planner money can buy. Here are a few tips when choosing your makeup artist for your big day!</div><a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
THE MAKEUP ARTIST TRIAL<br />
<br />
1. DO a trial, reviews are great, recommendations are great, but your face is NOT your friends face, your skin may react differently to the exact same makeup look that you so loved on your best friends wedding day!!<br />
<br />
2. Your makeup artistis on trial, not you. Extract every little bit of information out of them! "will the makeup run if it rains?", "Will it crack in the heat?" don't be scared to ask anything and everything, your paying top dollar and if your not happy with what your getting make sure you let them know why!<br />
<br />
3. Trial the different looks, have a back up plan, water proof foundation "in case it rains" may look completely different to all day foundation. pay the extra $65.00 - $100.00 for the extra trial run their is no point spending thousands on a photographer to look like a clown on your wedding day because the makeup didn't last when you had a teary moment or it was so hot that your sweat left streaks in your foundation and blush.<br />
<br />
4. Let your makeup artist know if you will look different on your wedding day e.g. if your going to have a fake tan on your wedding day you are going to need a completely different foundation and concealer, in fact you may need a completely new look!! The same goes for your hair color don't expect that your eye shadow will look the same if you're a brunette on the trial and a blonde on your wedding day!<br />
<br />
THE LOOK<br />
<br />
The look and color you choose for your big day will ultimately depend on your personal preference; however let your makeup artist recommend a few things "you don't go to a doctor to tell them how you want to cure a cold, you go because they have the experience a knowledge on how to do it better then you do!" Some points to consider when you are choosing what look, you ultimately go for.<br />
<br />
1. The time of the ceremony are you having a day or night wedding? A lighter, more natural look is better suited to a day wedding and a more dramatic look is better suited to a night wedding.<br />
<br />
2. What time of year is your wedding? If you are having a Spring/Summer wedding, go for bright, pastel look. Warm, deeper shades will be better presented for a winter wedding.<br />
<br />
3. If you are Blond or fair skinned, cool tones of grey, blue, soft pink and lilac are ideal.<br />
<br />
4. If you are a brunette or olive skinned, warm neutral tones of brown, taupe, burgundy & red are more suited.<br />
<br />
5. Remember your make up should be a little more dramatic than your everyday make-up, flash photography can tend to make the subject look more pale and wash-out the makeup in photos.lipbyoviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16570257278082046508noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791058073492002773.post-68175707300568885652012-05-04T21:02:00.000-07:002012-05-04T21:02:13.121-07:00It's All in the Details: Wedding Dress Trends to Watch Out For<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://templesquarehospitality.com/blogs/weddings/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/wedding-dress-trends-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://templesquarehospitality.com/blogs/weddings/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/wedding-dress-trends-1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.brides.com/blogs/aisle-say/new-wedding-dress-trends.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.brides.com/blogs/aisle-say/new-wedding-dress-trends.jpg" width="256" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.newandblue.com/images/wedding-dresses-fall09%20copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://www.newandblue.com/images/wedding-dresses-fall09%20copy.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhszsOyr5NlbzIuhDlfxc6LcNlPYBKHRr4mSm-iWdn1o6ZFHXCnFSD1bPjdiXE_QWCfLtaMSL6AzjdHbIwFU5vhgr7GoP7KwdKnk5IUrhcWU-jv27GNDffvXQ3LkMmxX1Eg3OrKRnAbuWA/s400/weddingdress+trends+one-shoulder+gowns.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhszsOyr5NlbzIuhDlfxc6LcNlPYBKHRr4mSm-iWdn1o6ZFHXCnFSD1bPjdiXE_QWCfLtaMSL6AzjdHbIwFU5vhgr7GoP7KwdKnk5IUrhcWU-jv27GNDffvXQ3LkMmxX1Eg3OrKRnAbuWA/s400/weddingdress+trends+one-shoulder+gowns.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Fresh, new and exciting - these are a few words which can best describe the latest bridal gown trends for 2012. Now that the current year is almost over, bride-to-bes who are looking forward to walking down the aisle next year do have a lot of choices when it comes to bridal hairstyles, as well as the trends in wedding gowns which we will learn more about here.<br />
<br />
Bridal Gowns with Slits</div><a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
No matter what your body type is as a bride, you are bound to find "the" perfect wedding dress once you are planning your wedding. Women who have already said their "I dos" have sworn that using plain intuition, you would know exactly when you have found the perfect bridal gown that you can wear on your big day.<br />
<br />
Now, if you are the type of bride who's big on following fashion trends, what are the hottest bridal gown designs for 2012 that you can go for? You don't necessarily need to have Vera Wang or another famous designer create a gown for you especially if you don't have the budget for it. However, you can borrow inspiration from these designers to come up with a trendy gown of your own.<br />
<br />
Let's start by counting down the details of the bridal gowns which will hit the runway in 2012. A fantastically fresh detail which designers have incorporated in their creations is the bridal gown with slit. If you would like to feel sexy, daring, fashion forward and oh-so-hot on your wedding day, choose a bridal dress with a front slit. Some of the designers who already incorporated front slits in the wedding gown that they created are Angel Sanchez, Hayley Paige and Ines di Santo.<br />
<br />
Low-Cut Backs for the Daring Bride<br />
<br />
For the daring, sexy bride, choose a wedding gown which has a low-cut back. Designer Marchesa has been at the forefront of introducing gowns with a very modest front, but a low-cut back for a dramatic effect once the bride turns around. One of the most exquisite designs from Marches is her fluid crepe column dress which has a draped cowl that reaches just above the bride's tailbone. Dare to wear this gown if you know that you can pull it off, and take the breath of your groom away at how hot you look!<br />
<br />
Sweetheart Necklines for the Romantics-at-Heart<br />
<br />
Finally, you can go for another sweet but still-hot trend of wearing wedding gowns with sweetheart necklines. Aside from the daring details incorporated by designers in their creations, the use of a variety of materials and fabrics is another hot bridal trend for 2012. To make your gown stand out, you can choose one with a sweetheart neckline, but has a bodice that's covered on top with a sheer fabric. This allows you to show off a bit of skin without revealing too much, so you will still end up looking elegant and sexy.<br />
<br />
To finish off the look, choose an appropriate bridal hairstyle and pair it with colorful, glittery accessories. The bridal hairstyle trend for 2012 is something that's loose and flowing instead of the usual updos that take hours for a stylist to create. Take your pick from any of these hot, hot wedding gown trends and be the ultimate fashion forward bride for 2012!<br />
<br />
Aside from choosing the bridesmaids hairstyles and wedding hairstyles, another major aspect of the wedding plans that you need to decide on is the dress that you'll wear. Some of the hottest trends for 2012 bridal gowns include detailing such as front slits, sweetheart necklines and low-cut backs. Take your pick from any of these trends and look fab as you walk down the aisle.lipbyoviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16570257278082046508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791058073492002773.post-90691168804862409102012-05-04T20:55:00.000-07:002012-05-04T20:55:07.727-07:00Key Wedding Dress Trends to Look Out For in 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.weddinggowntown.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/trends_1950_01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="242" src="http://www.weddinggowntown.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/trends_1950_01.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.elegantweddingdressesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/wedding-dresses-trends.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="310" src="http://www.elegantweddingdressesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/wedding-dresses-trends.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://thebeautybridal.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Ines-di-Santo-2011-bridal-gowns-trends.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="317" src="http://thebeautybridal.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Ines-di-Santo-2011-bridal-gowns-trends.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.niceweddingdresses.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/2001-wedding-gown-trends.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://www.niceweddingdresses.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/2001-wedding-gown-trends.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Choosing your wedding dress is something no bride should take lightly. With all eyes on you, and photos that last a life time, you need to look your best. Modern brides that are looking to mix tradition with fashion should take note of four key wedding dress trends this year:<br />
<br />
1) Lace Capes and Cap Sleeves<br />
2011 was all about the long lace sleeves in homage to Catherine Middleton at the Royal Wedding. In 2012 the sleeve has been replaced by a classy and flattering lace cape. This modest accessory is great for brides who would like a strapless dress, but are self conscious about their arms.</div><a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
The trend for sleeves continues with small, cap sleeves. Reem Aarca showcased stunning cap sleeved wedding dresses at the spring 2012 Wedding Fashion Week. A dress with sleeves of this kind or a cape is hugely flattering.<br />
<br />
The eyes are drawn upwards towards your face and elongate your body. This creates a flattering illusion of being taller and slimmer as it balances out the top and bottom halves of your body. Depending on the style, sleeves and capes will also mask bra straps if you need extra support.<br />
<br />
2) Pastel Colours<br />
While the tradition of white, ivory and cream dresses will never go out of fashion, it doesn't hurt to add an injection of colour. Seen on designers such as Vera Wang, soft pastel shades of candyfloss pink, lilac and even mint green are all over wedding dresses.<br />
<br />
These dresses make a subtle statement and are perfect for young women looking to stand out on their big day. Many designers have also showcased dip-dyed dresses using a little less colour. This is a bold statement so is best suited to younger brides.<br />
<br />
3) Embellished Bodices<br />
In the style of dresses be Monique Lhuillier and Anne Bowen, embellished bodices are a huge wedding dress trend for 2012. Paired with a soft, plain skirt; these dresses really have the 'wow' factor. Bustier style wedding dresses are also popular. This sexy, lingerie style was featured heavily by Monique Lhuillier at Wedding Fashion Week.<br />
<br />
Embellished bodices and bustier style wedding dresses are especially flattering for pear-shaped brides. The style will enhance your chest, clinch you in at the waist and skim your hips. This will create the illusion of killer curves.<br />
<br />
4) Ruffles<br />
If you have always dreamed of being a princess, there really is no better time than your wedding day. Oscar de le Renta showcased striking romantic ruffle skirts this spring, perfect for fairytale weddings.<br />
<br />
Believe it or not, ruffle detailing is actually extremely flattering on every figure. You can hide or accentuate your curves with the dramatic skirt to create the perfect shape for your body.lipbyoviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16570257278082046508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791058073492002773.post-32202834044531398602012-05-03T16:44:00.000-07:002012-05-03T16:44:12.611-07:00A Beautiful Wedding for a Beautiful Bride<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none;

Planning a simple wedding can help you keep the costs down, but that does not mean you have to have a "cheap" event because it can still be very stylish. Below are a few tips for planning your simple but stylish wedding.<br />
<br />
Planning<br />
<br />
Before you look for flowers, banquet halls and catering you will want to sit down and plan the entire event. Make a list of the things you want in your wedding and then come back and take out things that are not essential. You may be amazed at the money you can save with this step alone.<br />
<br />
Guest List<br />
<br />
Some people want to invite everyone they have ever come in contact with to their special day. However, consider the merits of having only very close friends and relatives at the ceremony itself. You can invite the rest of the town to the reception afterwards if you like. Keeping the guest list small will affect the size of the location you need for the actual wedding, thereby cutting expenses immediately.<br />
<br />
Location<br />
<br />
Once you have a firm guest list in mind it is time to find the location for your wedding. While fancy banqueting halls are nice, you have to ask yourself if they are that important. Some of the most beautiful weddings have been conducted on the beach or at a friend's stylish home. I got married by the side of a lake. So, forget all the fancy scenes you have seen in the movies and concentrate on making your day the best it can be within your budget.<br />
<br />
Do it Yourself<br />
<br />
Decorations and food add a good amount of money to your wedding. Think about creating some of the decorations yourself to save money. For instance, a beautiful trellis can be easily constructed with PVC pipe, lights and tulle. This works especially well if you will be having an inside wedding where the lights can be lowered and the trellis creates a romantic backdrop. If you are not mechanically or artistically inclined check with friends and family. Chances are good that one of them can come through for you.<br />
<br />
Browse the bridal magazines for ideas and then look for ways to recreate them for a reasonable price. Flowers, table centerpieces, and even the cake can often be done very reasonably if you use just a bit of creativity.<br />
<br />
Conclusion<br />
<br />
Do not let the thought of planning a stylish wedding on a budget get you down. Look at it more like a challenge or a treasure hunt! Even your wedding gown can be absolutely stunning, but still bought for a reasonable price. Consignment shops and discount shops often have gorgeous dresses for less than $500. Remember what the day is all about: you are joining your life with the person you love, and everything else is just icing on the cake so to speak.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Fifteen years ago very few people outside of very high end jewelry shops had even heard of using titanium for rings. While it had been used in aviation, medicine and manufacturing, the use of titanium for rings and jewelry was just unheard of for the most part.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now titanium wedding rings are the hottest sellers in the jewelry industry. Those couples who compare gold, platinum and titanium for their rings often end up with a titanium wedding ring.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are several reasons why titanium has become a popular choice for those seeking a wedding ring:</div><img alt="" border="0" src="http://weddingringcentre.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/men-wedding-rings.gif" style="display: block; height: 410px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 410px;" />Hypoallergenic Properties<br />
Many people have had the experience of buying a watch, ring or earrings and suffering an allergic reaction. Impure metals-rings are seldom 100% of any material-can cause reactions with human skin. Titanium is inert, which means it will not react with human tissue. In fact, it is often used for hip transplants due to its strength and non-reactive properties.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.love2have.co.uk/catalog/images/salesqtit.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 328px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 410px;" />Cost<br />
The cost of gold and platinum are at all-time highs. This, of course, means that gold wedding rings and platinum wedding rings are also very expensive these days. For example, a basic platinum wedding band will cost at least $1000 and a gold wedding bands, depending on the design, can be equally or more expensive. Titanium, however, has not seen such dramatic rises in cost over the years. A great, handcrafted titanium ring is typically about half the price as its counterparts.<br />
Strength and Durability<br />
Titanium is an extremely durable material for wedding rings. Often used for airplane and submarine components, titanium is very strong and will not ding or dent like gold-a much softer metal. Scratching, though possible, is much more unlikely for a titanium ring than a gold ring. Another great thing about titanium is that it won't react with sea water or almost all corrosive elements. This means that titanium ring wearers can wear their ring day in and day out without worrying about damaging the ring. A well-made titanium ring will last a lifetime.<br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2q5GX9uW8GCPzdhyphenhyphenoztfMpDnLICCokzzvQ8TapRYfSzCDrAgJeGo56c9X39lUBzorRtkq7jU0ytCfaFGNhn4e7fCvJz6tZEGuq0o5bG0kb2jX8Aik-wFeC3yVNoVUF-yPIeELeI8bEdji/s1600/titanium-wedding-band-ring.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 349px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 349px;" />Design Choices<br />
Many people getting married these days do not want the same gold wedding band style their father, uncles, grandfather and grandfather's father had. Gold rings are just, well, too traditional and boring for many wedding ring buyers.<br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="http://weddingringgallery.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/black-titanium-wedding-ring.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 395px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 312px;" />Titanium, unlike gold, allows for some very creative and unique ring designs. For example, a simple titanium wedding band can have a gold inlay, but it can also have an opal, Koa wood, or Tiger's Eye inlay. Titanium rings with inlays are very popular for wedding bands because they are available in many designs that are stylish, unique and a better reflection of the wearer's personality than the old standby-a yellow gold wedding band.</div>lipbyoviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16570257278082046508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791058073492002773.post-13547285319129148482012-05-03T16:25:00.000-07:002012-05-03T16:25:13.507-07:00Chocolate Diamond Wedding Rings - Today's Popular Engagement Ornaments<div style="text-align: justify;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.diamonds-earring.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Chocolate-Diamond-Rings.jpg" style="display: block; height: 240px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 360px;" />Marriages are said to be made in heaven. Wedding rings symbolizes this happy event, today chocolate diamond engagement rings have become the choice of most consumers. These are studded with beautiful and sparkling chocolate diamonds. International stars and common men are buying these sparkling finger ornaments. Chocolate colored diamonds are obtained from mines of Africa, Australia and Russia. These diamonds attain a brownish hue due to pressure of the earth. Today these gemstones have got a huge craze in the jewelry market. Chocolate rings are used by couples to mark holy and sacred emotions during an engagement or marriage ceremony. These are excellent alternatives for those who want to wear something special and unique than white and colorless diamond rings. Before choosing such wedding rings one should be acquainted with the background of chocolate diamonds studded in it. These diamonds are cheaper than traditional white diamonds and have an attractive dark luster.<br />
<img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.occasionsniagara.com/Portals/72883/images/chocolate-diamond-wedding-ring1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 394px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 380px;" />One can buy chocolate rings of any shapes. They are also available in combination with other gemstones like Emerald, Ruby and Blue Sapphire. But the best stone combination of these rings is that of "chocolate and vanilla cream".This marriage ring is made by combining chocolate diamond and white turquoise. Now after making one's mind what to buy a buyer has to choose a suitable place to purchase the ring. One must beware that some sellers may try to cheat by showing low graded stone rings that appear may appear like chocolate diamond rings due to radiant luster. One should be cautious while choosing and buying them. Search for original jewelry should be made until one finds it. Wedding rings studded with chocolate diamonds can be worn by those people who are sure of going well with it against a public crowd. These rings should be provided special care to make them sparkle for a long time. They must be protected in various ways. These rings should be kept away from heat to keep them rich in color.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://static.weddingandrings.com/wedrings/2009/11/chocolate-diamond-wedding-ring.jpg" style="display: block; height: 253px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 380px;" /></div>lipbyoviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16570257278082046508noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7791058073492002773.post-22550454972875028292012-05-03T16:23:00.000-07:002012-05-03T16:23:46.049-07:00Trending: David & Bridal bridesmaid dresses & gowns<div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">It’s hard to believe the Royal Wedding was over a week ago! Even though Kate Middleton’s wedding dress is still all the buzz, did you also catch her sister, Pippa’s, bridesmaid dress? Two words we thought of to describe it? Simply Gorgeous. Slimly fitting her petite figure, it flowed with each step following the bride to be. Some thought white was an “interesting” color choice, but we think she really complimented her sister and only added to the royal wedding elegance.</div><div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Doing a bit of a search ourselves, we discovered lovely <span class="Apple-style-span">bridesmaid dresses</span>, similar to that of Pippa’s (without the Alexander McQueen price tag- not all of us are in the Royal Family ;) at David’s Bridal! Here are a few suggestions that we thought would be a great choice to recreate your own Royal Wedding.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Several of our brides with upcoming weddings this year have shown us their dream dresses-- which they purchased at David's Bridal!

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Vera Wang was born in 1949 to affluent Chinese immigrants. She lived a luxurious life in Manhattan's Upper East Side where she attended private schools and studied at the School of American Ballet. Wang was a very talented figure skater and competed professionally throughout her teens and even placed fifth in the U.S. National Championships. When Wang graduated from college, she went to work at Vogue and was already a Senior Fashion Editor by the age of 23. After 15 years at Vogue, she went to work for Ralph Lauren.</span></span></div><a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
<br />
When she was 40 years old, Wang finally decided to marry her long-time love. As all brides do, she went in search of the perfect wedding gown. She was so frustrated by the lack of bridal gowns that she sketched out her own gown and commissioned a tailor to sew it for her. The cost for this elegant gown was $10,000.<br />
<br />
With seed money from Wang's Father, she opened her first bridal boutique in the upscale Carlyle Hotel on Madison Avenue in New York. Her gowns are now sold in very upscale retailers such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus and are worn by celebrities such as Anjelica Huston, Meg Ryan, Jennifer Lopez, and Goldie Hawn. Vera Wang is now the most prominent bridal gown designer in America and has been honored with a large number of awards for her achievements such as the 2005 Womanswear Designer of the Year.<br />
<br />
While Vera Wang wedding dresses are the envy of all brides to be, most cannot afford the huge price tag of her premium designer dresses. But what if there was a way to walk down the aisle with a Vera Wang dress on and only pay a fraction of the cost? This newly discovered discount wedding gown opportunity is now becoming popular. This is how it works: Major retail bridal stores allow brides to try on wedding gowns called "sample gowns". Once the choice of the gown is made, the bride places her order for a new gown in the correct size and the one she tried on goes back on the floor. This process continues until the gown is discontinued, the store needs room for new inventory, or they have stopped carrying that collection all together. What happens to the gowns that are no longer needed? Bride Couture purchases these gowns and then sells them to brides at 50% to 80% off their original price. Imagine walking in and trying on a ten thousand dollar gown for a fraction of the cost? Better yet, why not have Bride Couture send you three or four gowns to try on. Keep the one you love and return the others. You can try on the gowns in the comfort of your own home and have whomever you want there to give you reviews.<br />
<br />
Vera Wang uses the tradition of Paris Couture when she designs a dress. Her style is more focused on using gorgeous fabrics and unique construction rather than heavy beading or embroidery. Her gowns are very romantic, whimsical and high fashion while still remaining timeless. This is your day to be the center of attention. Why not feel and look like one in a Vera Wang wedding dress?<br />

<tr align="justify"><td class="tr-caption"><h1><span style="font-size: small;">Now-a-days, wedding gowns come in many styles, many shapes, several colors, many different types of material and many different types of embellishments. The consideration in regards to wedding gowns has to do with gown material cut, the way the gown might drape, and the different textures in materials.With each different type of material comes a different look. Because of the different types of material for wedding gowns, a different feel of the material is appropriate. Some materials can bring about the appearance of crispness, while others might give the appearance of softness.<br />
<br />
Some materials might be more popular than others. The material most popular and most desired by today's brides is that of silk. Silk has a "quality of refinement." The reason silk is in such demand is because it has a sense of resiliency, elasticity, and strength. The threads of silk-type materials have been created to be that of density woven silk that creates similar to that of densely woven silk that creates a gloss. Then there is that silk like material charmeuse that has a rougher nubby quality. Then there is a other types silk like that of chiffon, tulle, and organza. The last few silk types just mentioned here, are light weight and transparent.<br />
<br />
As you continue reading here about, let's define and describe other materials that could be used as part of one's bridal gown. They are:<br />
<br />
1) Baptiste: This is a light soft transparent fabric.<br />
<br />
2) Crepe: A light soft thin fabric with a crinkled surface.<br />
<br />
3) Duchess satin: A light weight hybrid of silk and rayon or polyester woven into a satin finish.<br />
<br />
4) Illusion: This is a fine sheer net fabric generally used on the sleeves or neckline of a bridal gown.<br />
<br />
5) Moire: This is a heavy silk taffeta with a subtle wavy design to the material.<br />
<br />
6) Organdy: This is a stiff transparent fabric.<br />
<br />
7) Peau de Soie: A soft satin-faced high quality cloth with a dull luster, fine ribs, and with a grainy appearance.<br />
<br />
8) Silk: The most sought after cherished fiber used for wedding dresses and is also the most expensive type of material. Then there is also what's called raw silk, silk mikado-silks heavier than 100% silk.<br />
<br />
9) Taffeta: This material is not only crisp and smooth, but it also has what is called a "light rib."<br />
<br />
10) Tulle: Netting made of silk, nylon and rayon. Tulle is used often for bridal petticoats and wedding veils.<br />
<br />
Now-a-days, there seems to be more of a variety in bridal gown material types. Some gowns even have a combination of several of the above material types within one gown itself. Regardless of material in a bridal gown, most gowns will create a very special picture of any bride wearing any type of gown made with any type of material.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">When your wedding is in the winter, you have to take special care to select a wedding gown that will compliment you and keep you seasonally comfortable. Some things to consider before making your purchase include the style of neckline, the dress length, what material the dress is made of, and whether or not a shrug would be appropriate to wear over the dress. Here are some tips to show you how to pick wedding attire for a winter wedding</span></div><a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
<br />
Neckline<br />
<br />
You have to be careful in your choice of neckline because you don't want to be chilly and catch a cold right before your honeymoon. Shop around for some designs that have more covering up top. There is the option of a V-neck for your dress, this style offers an elegant yet covered up option. If you want to be more covered up, you can go for an illusion-neckline. These dresses are made strapless, but then have a sheer or lacy material that covers the top of your chest, neck, and sometimes arms. Having a square neckline allows you to have a small sleeve on your dress to keep your shoulders covered.<br />
<br />
Length<br />
<br />
Unless you live in a region where the temperature is warm during the winter, stay away from short dresses. A full length dress and even one with an exaggerated train is ideal. If you will be walking outside at any point before your ceremony then you would need to consider getting a bustle for your train so that if there is ice or show outside, you don't ruin your dress.<br />
<br />
Material<br />
<br />
This is especially important to know what your dress is made of and what it is lined with. You don't want a dress that is too thin and will leave you shivering at the altar. That would be a whole new take on having cold feet. You should be fine once you layer up all the foundation garments that are required under your dress.<br />
<br />
To Shrug or Not to Shrug<br />
<br />
If you decide to go with an off the shoulder neckline or a dress that is less than warm, consider a sheik faux fur shrug to wear over your dress after the ceremony. You may even find one that is suitable to wear during the ceremony, especially if you are having your wedding in a drafty location.<br />
<br />
Happy dress-hunting! Remember these tips and you will know the best options for picking wedding attire for a winter wedding. Come back to Winter Wedding Planner to learn how to select bridesmaid dresses for winter wedding.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We felt this was too exciting not to share and thanks to Green Wedding Shoes for introducing Ruche's new wedding collection which is being launched on the 19th March. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We are already an avid fan of their clothes and accessories and are delighted that Ruche are now creating vintage, feminine wedding and bridesmaids dresses with a focus on embroidery and intricate detailing.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">We are in love the pastels and neutrals, a huge fashion statement this year mixed with metallics and even more amazing are the prices with wedding dresses below $500 and bridesmaids retailing at around $100.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">All brides must pop over and take a sneak peek at Green Wedding Shoes and in the meantime we have about 4 more sleeps until this gorgeous new collection is launched. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I am currently working up some wedding themes, Beach, Spanish, Crystal and Tropical. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The idea is to put together 'wedding packages' for brides in Spain, based on the Preston Bailey themes for Sandals. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I hate the description of packages though so if anyone can think of a better word please let me know! </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Here is my starting block with different bridal bouquets to depict the different themes, I will use this base to continue the themes through to table settings, cakes, and venue decorations.</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Any inputs or ideas will be very welcome!</span></div><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">A lovely idea for weddings and other events, a graffiti you can apply for the occasion as long as the venue lets you! It is supposed to be easily removed and if you check out their website they even do wedding cars, a great idea to personalise your wedding or even your home.</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">"Wonderful Graffiti is very thin pieces of matte vinyl that look "printed" when applied to most smooth surfaces.Your entire wedding Graffiti design arrives on one sheet of transfer paper. Just tape the transfer paper into place, burnish it down and peel it away. Wonderful Graffiti removes quickly, and won't harm underlying surfaces</span><span style="font-size: x-small;">."</span></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><a href="http://www.wonderfulgraffitiwedding.com/"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><br />
