True Meaning of Wedding Accessories

If you are just hours away from living your life with the only person you love, you have the greatest tendency to go on jumping and hoping without thinking. Because of the spur of the moment, girls often forget the religious and ceremonial significance of wedding accessories. They just go around picking everything that is said to be intended as a part of their wedding ceremony without knowing the entire meaning of their roles.

On other cases, women and their wedding planners tend to go highly stylish and fashionable when it comes to wedding accessories that they totally neglect that they are meant to play important roles to the wedding ceremony. Wedding accessories are not meant to just prolong or elongate the wedding ceremony itself, but they are the very symbol of the union of the two people who are about to take on their lives together forever.

To refresh everyone’s minds, here are the distinguished roles and meanings of the different wedding accessories:

1.      Wedding veils

Wedding veils are not just meant to cover the face of the girl to add excitement to the wedding ceremony. They are meant to cover the girl as a symbol of her purity and exclusivity before she gives up her entire self to her groom.

2.      Wedding bouquet

Flowers are truly common in all special occasions especially if it involves a girl. However, in wedding ceremonies, the bridal bouquet symbolizes the fragrance and beauty of the girl in her youth which she will later give up to all the other young girls as a symbol of her passing on the sacrament and beauty of wedding.

3.      Wedding candles

The candles are the symbol of light in the marriage of the couple. They are meant to say that there should be an everlasting fire, or an everlasting passion, between the two people who vowed to live together forever.

4.      Wedding cord

The wedding cord is meant to symbol the eternal union of the two married couple as they are now to be considered as one person rather than two separate ones.

5.      Wedding tiara

The wedding tiara is not just used to hold the veil and attach it to the hair of the girl, but rather it is meant to show how the parents take their daughter as something royal and legal and that they are about to give up their princess to be the queen of her husband.

And so take wedding accessories as a very serious part of a wedding ceremony, or else lose the point of doing it anyway.

Factors to be Considered in Choosing Wedding Lingerie

Wedding lingerie is surely not the most noticeable part of a bride’s complete wedding outfit, however, it is as important as the other wedding accessories or even the bridal dress itself as it is the one that fully supports the body of the bride so that it may complement to the bridal dress. Practically, the lingerie should be the most important part of any outfit as it is the basis of comfort and discomfort.

Even though people will never see the undergarments you are using behind your exquisite bridal dress, they can, however, see the discomfort wrong lingerie might bring you.  Moreover, you would not want to be tucking and adjusting your lingerie as you take your momentous entourage towards the church altar.

Because we know how complicated wedding lingerie shopping can be, here are some of the factors that you would want to consider in picking the right supporters for your body.

1.      Size

The very key in knowing the perfect lingerie size for you will be nothing but your own body measures. Even though there might be some parts of your body you are shameful of, you should never deny its true measures. Besides, you should not be afraid on embracing your true shape as it is one of the things your groom liked about you.

2.      Style

Your own bridal dress should be the very first determinant in picking your wedding lingerie. No matter how stylish and sophisticated a garment can be, if it will not complement your bridal dress, then you should not think about getting it. One of the most common problems encountered by the brides in terms of the lingerie’s style will be that the lingerie often times peeks out of the bridal dress itself. You are lucky if it looks complementing and it suites you and your bridal dress, but most of the time it brings nothing but shame and stress.

3.      Design

No matter how unimportant it sounds, the design of the wedding lingerie is still one thing that you would like to consider. Even though you are the only one who knows the design of your undergarments, you would absolutely want to know that you are wearing a fantastic one!

The obscurity of wedding lingerie should not entail the act of neglecting. After all, you are doing it all for yourself… and perhaps for your groom, too. 

Truth Be Told About Mother of the Bride Dresses

The mother of the bride dresses are really different from bridesmaid dresses and so are the bridal gowns themselves. It has long been settled that people truly value their mother more than they value anyone in their lives including themselves as well, and no one, especially the women who are set to be mothers as well, will want to dress their mother inappropriately in the most special occasion in their lives.

One of the most vital factors to be considered in picking the mother of the bride dress will be her age. Compared to the bridesmaid dresses which are truly meant to dress juvenile and carefree people, mothers have seen both the good side and the bad side of life to be carefree enough for a young dress. However, it does not mean that you should go around dressing her like she has the entire world upon her shoulders. The main goal is to make her look younger than how she really is, albeit older enough still to be taken seriously and respectfully.

In most weddings, only the bridal gown and the bridesmaid dresses are the only ones which match the over-all motif of the wedding ceremony. This should never be the case since of all the people, the bridal mother should not be taken out of the picture. Even if the over-all theme looks too young for her actual dress, you can at least try to use such color as an embellishment or design on her over-all look just in case she still wants to settle to the conventional frigid white dress.

It would be really nice if the bride’s mother will have a matching dress with the groom’s mother as well. It sounds a bit of a cliché but it only symbolizes that there are no rifts between the family of the couple unlike how movies take it most of the time. However, identity should still matter. Perhaps the two dresses can be highly identical only that one of them is inches shorter than the other or that they both have different sleet cuts.

It is not really that hard to dress your mother for your venerable wedding day. After all, chances are that you have taken your own style from your mother’s. Always remember that she had dressed you well all your life and you should do the same to her as well.

Preciousness of Wedding Tiaras

The best event in a woman’s life for her to feel like a queen would surely be her wedding day. Even though she seems to have it all to proclaim herself as the queen of her world and of her groom’s it would not really hurt to literally make her feel that way through letting her wear wedding tiaras. All the women in the world would surely agree that there is always a part of them that will forever be enchanted on the magic and majesty symbolized by crowns and tiaras.

However, if you want to surprise your wife to be through giving her a special crown specifically made for your wedding day, then you might want to do it perfectly.

Here are some of the things you might want to consider in picking the perfect wedding tiara for your special girl:

1.      Size

“The bigger, the better” quote should not apply in wedding tiaras and other wedding accessories. It is not about stopping the show but rather beautifying it. Do not give your bride a tiara that is too big for her head to carry (considering the fact that she will be wearing a veil too) or too small that she did not even realize that it is a tiara.

2.      Engravings

Tiaras and other metal accessories are all about the engravings. Do not settle for tiaras that have too many engravings in them that they seem to look like more of a metal hole than a tiara nor should you consider curved metal slates without any designs.

3.      Stones

Sure enough precious stones can be the very thing that can make your bride’s tiara different from the others. The more precious the stone is, the more precious the tiara, and the more precious the bride feels about herself too.

What are you waiting for? Grab a crown and make your queen feel special!

In most cases, cocktail dresses are the ones to be considered for a promenade.

The second one would be its cut. In most cases, the kind of cut of a dress determines its compatibility with you. Let us say that you have nice and spidery long legs, you would want to have a dress that is a couple of inches above your knees. On the other hand, if you have good shoulders, you might want to consider tube-like dresses.

The last, but certainly not the least, would be the color. Make sure that it will go with your make-up color as well as with your hair and skin. You would not want to look dull and gloomy nor an irritable explosion of colors.

The Vulnerability in Wedding Dresses

It can be cliché at some points, but it is irrevocable to take your wedding day as one of the best moments of your life. Aside from its grandiosity and extravagance, one cannot simply deny the effervescent of effect of seeing yourself entering the world of marriage; a world you choose to have for a lifetime.

Every girl's dream is to be the most beautiful woman she can be as she meet her husband-to-be in the altar. Needless to say, wedding dresses play a huge part on this matter. Not only do you walk with it on one of the most special occasions in your life, but it is only the very thing you are more likely to see yourself with in the near future.

Picking wedding dresses is no walk in the park. Not only do you have to consider the cloth used, the fit and the design but most importantly, wedding dresses should capture the beauty of the entire wedding ceremony and represent the bride accordingly. The royal wedding that had happened before between Prince William and Kate Middleton is one good example. Even though Kate has been slightly criticized for her choice on her wedding dress, everyone will admit that it made her look extremely elegant, just like how a princess should be, yet very simple at the same time, as we can remember that Kate does not have a royal blood but is just a simple commoner.

That is how wedding dresses should be. They should flaunt the beauty of the bride while showing the people, especially her groom, who she really is. After all, the true personality of the bride is presumed to be the very reason why she is truly loved by the groom that he even decided to face the rest of his life with her.
