<p>Now that you are engaged and you have picked a date for your wedding, you have many decisions to make and many hours of shopping ahead of you. It is definitely possible to create the wedding of your dreams while staying within a strict, tight budget. Let me share a few ways we have used to cut the cost of weddings we have been involved with.</p>
<p>When shopping for your wedding dress, you are noticing the price of one dress is nearly as much as the budget for your entire wedding! How are you going to be able to look fantastic while still saving money? First, you should look for sales and coupons. By getting a dress on sale, you can save up to 50% or more. Since wedding dresses have only been worn once, you could shop at a thrift store, on eBay or even borrow a dress from a friend or family member.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://plussizeweddingparty.com/plus-size-bridesmaid-dresses/" title="Bridesmaid" class="content-link">Bridesmaid</a> Dresses</strong><br />
As with the dresses for the Maid of Honor and Bridesmaids, you could buy an “off the rack” dress and simply dress it up for the wedding. After the wedding, you can shorten the hemline or sleeves and still wear this same dress to formal and informal events. A matching (colored) belt, shoes, handbag and necklace looks really great on a white dress.</p>
<p>Renting is another option. Renting a wedding dress will save you lots of money and renting clothing is also a terrific idea for the men in the wedding party. By renting dark suits for the men, rather than purchasing a suit for each person, you will save hundreds of dollars. By renting a wedding dress AND suits, you will save well over $1,000 in the total cost of your wedding.</p>
<div id="attachment_299" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://plussizeweddingparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/money-cards-used.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-299" title="cut the cost of weddings" src="http://plussizeweddingparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/money-cards-used.jpg" alt="cut the cost of weddings" width="200" height="149" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Cut The Cost Of Weddings</p></div>
<p><strong>Save Money On Wedding Reception<br />
</strong>It’s very easy to save money at your wedding reception as well. Normally, you have to rent the venue and serve food to dozens or even hundreds of people. You will have the costs of the plates, napkins, forks, picks, food, centerpieces, and the list goes on and on. Alternatively, you could have an informal open house with only close friends and family. This is much more intimate and the cost will be much less than a formal reception. A wedding dinner at your favorite restaurant is also a great way to save money, but will involve far fewer guests.</p>
<p>By having an outdoor reception, you will save money on decorations, as the natural landscape of the garden will be nearly enough. You could borrow lawn furniture, umbrellas, canopy’s and screens from friends and neighbors. By purchasing fresh potted flowers as decorations or centerpieces, you can give them to the wedding party as gifts following the reception or use them to decorate your newlywed home.</p>
<p>Serve a few simple finger foods as refreshments. You and your family can make some punch, cut up fresh fruit or bake a few treats. This will make your guests feel more than welcome and your budget will remain intact. You can use <a title="Wedding Favors" href="http://plussizeweddingparty.com/wedding-favors/" target="_blank">home made wedding favors</a> rather than store bought ones, again the personal touch will make these far more memorable than anything you could buy in store.</p>
<p><strong>Save Money On Wedding Invites<br />
</strong>You can save money with the invitations also. Instead of invitations, send out announcements simply stating that the wedding has already taken place. Of course, those who only receive an announcement, rather than an invitation, may not send a gift, but that is a one of the downsides of having a more inexpensive wedding.</p>
<p>When preparing the invitations, it’s not always cheaper to print them yourself or use a tri-fold design. You will have to do lots of research to find the cheapest alternative for invitations and announcements. Be sure to figure in the cost of postage in your calculations.</p>
<p><strong>Save Money On Wedding Photography</strong><br />
If you insist on having professional photographs of your wedding, then consider hiring an apprentice to do the work. Alternatively, friends and relatives can take photos and email them to you after the reception. Everyone owns a camera or, at the very least, a cell phone capable of taking pictures or video. These obviously won’t be high quality, but it is an option to save you some money on your overall bill.</p>
<p><strong>Think Outside The Box</strong><br />
Can you save money by getting married on  day other than Saturday? Most wedding reception venues will be quiet the rest of the week and catering companies will also have their equipment sitting around, ask for a 20% discount if you hold the reception on a Sunday. The worst that anyone can say is no. You could also consider sponsorship, will the local printers give you a discount if you include a link to their site on the back of each invite?</p>
<p>There are many ways to cut corners and save a few dollars here and there and cut the cost of weddings. You will be amazed how clever you can be when you have limited resources. You may have to sacrifice a bit of luxury, but probably no one will notice and you will save hundreds or thousands in the process.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Outdoor Weddings</h2>
<p>You’re getting married! You’re so excited, but suddenly all the pressures mount and you are worried about every little detail. This is your big day so you want it to be perfect, of course, and you have always dreamed of an open air wedding so it seems natural to have it outside.</p>
<p><strong>Don&#8217;t Forget The Little Things</strong><br />
Are you planning an outdoor wedding or outdoor wedding reception? If so, you may have some uninvited guests, they are only little but can really ruin any party, depending on the time of year and where you choose to get married the bugs that come to visit will be different.</p>
<p>In late July or early August, the Cicada is emerging from the ground. If you set up the night before, you could potentially get Cicada exoskeletons left on vertical surfaces around the yard. You could have some of your guests screaming because a Cicada landed on them. The constant hum of the cicada love song could be bothersome, or the occasional cicada crawling on a chair, table or barbecue.</p>
<div id="attachment_290" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://plussizeweddingparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/wedding-marquee.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-290" title="wedding marquee" src="http://plussizeweddingparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/wedding-marquee-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Outdoors Weddings</p></div>
<p>While they don’t cause a huge problem, dragonflies or damselflies can be bothersome if you live near any lakes, ponds or any fresh water. Maybe you or a neighbor has a decorative pond on the landscape. This could be an open invitation for water loving insects.</p>
<p>Take care to set bait for ants prior to any outdoor event. As you well know, ant colonies can set up and be fully functioning in a very short time. With so much food around for your guests, ants can be alerted and be on the job just in time to ruin your activity.</p>
<p><strong>Watch For Invaders From The Sky<br />
</strong>Insects are not the only creature which can be a problem. Birds love to swoop in and attempt to snatch a little bite. While most birds have a sweet chirp, others can be obnoxious. Think “The Little Mermaid” when the albatross is trying to get the prince to kiss Ariel. At seaside, seagulls in great numbers can be rather loud. In other locations, crows are the problem. Gardeners hang CD’s and DVD’s on branches to keep birds from orchards and gardens. By hanging these in trees, the shining light will keep the birds from ruining your big day.</p>
<p>Most rental venues will have giant canopy, gazebo or tent for rent. Many catering companies will have these covers available for an additional cost, but this will be easier for you. You can relax and not have to bother with putting up and packing away the huge tent after your party. By putting a huge canopy over your party, the insects and birds will probably not be any bother at all.</p>
<p>If you live in an area where birds and insects will be a constant problem, then the final option is to have your wedding during the colder months. By adding a few outdoor heaters, you can make our outdoor space just as comfortable as being indoors, but you’ll have the fresh air rather than the stuffy banquet hall. Of course, you will then have to deal with the potential of rain, hail, ice or snow.</p>
<p>No matter if you have your wedding indoors or out, there is always a problem which COULD come up. If you always dreamed of an outdoor wedding, then you should do it. You will only get married once, so make this an affair to remember. There is always the unruly guest at any wedding, but the majority of guests will understand if any problem will arise. These are just a few things to consider when choosing a date or when deciding on a venue for your wedding or reception.</p>
<p><strong>Plan For Everything</strong><br />
While it may seem that we are trying to scare you away from having your wedding outside, we are not , we just want to make sure that you are ready for any possible eventuality. Because no one wants their guests to spend the day of their wedding fighting off bugs or birds</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Times are tough but that doesn&#8217;t mean you still can&#8217;t have the wedding of your dreams. One way to save money is to do your own planning. If you shop around and are a little bit flexible on every part of your wedding, ok maybe not the wedding dress, you can save money and have the wedding of your dreams on a tight budget.</p>
<p><strong>Free Wedding Planning Tools</strong></p>
<p>If you have read any of the pages on this wedding site then you already know what you need to make your wedding day a success. If you are on a tight budget and do not have the money to pay a wedding planner who will bend to your every need do not panic. Google have put together a whole package of free wedding planning tools</p>
<div id="attachment_284" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://plussizeweddingparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/wedding-planning-budget.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-284" title="Wedding planning on a budget" src="http://plussizeweddingparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/wedding-planning-budget.jpg" alt="Wedding planning on a budget" width="200" height="301" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Wedding planning on a budget</p></div>
<p><strong>Wedding Website</strong></p>
<p>Maybe you want a website showing the engagement photos and then the wedding photos, you will probably get a quote of at least a few hundred dollars from your local web designer or else you can use <a href="http://www.google.com/weddings/#sites" target="_blank">http://www.google.com/weddings/#sites</a> which is free and is very simple to use, They have at least ten various web templates that are suitable for any wedding site</p>
<p><strong>Calender</strong><br />
You can use a Google calender to make notes of what has to be done when, you can share this info with anyone you want to.</p>
<p><strong>Wedding Planning Spreadsheets</strong><br />
If you are anything like me you will want to keep all your weding info on a spreadsheet, use google docs to do it. You can share the spreadsheet with anyone you want to. You can keep all your dates and phone numbers in there if you want to. You can even link it to the calender. You can create to do lists, address books, budgets, menus and even make a note of your top 20 songs to give to your DJ.</p>
<p><strong>Photos</strong><br />
You can use free sites like http://www.picnik.com/ to do basic editing of your engagement photos and you can create your own digital albums on picassa. Ask people to bring their own cameras and request that they upload them to a specific site and then share them with you. That way you can make prints of any you like, if you then make a central list of the photos people could create their own photo albums and have them printed and sent out. Walgreens often do specials on prints where you can buy them for as little as 10c a print.</p>
<p>Since you only get married once the one thing that you do need to think about paying for a professional is your wedding photographs. It is good fun to see the photos that your friends take but when it comes to photos of you in your wedding dress with your husband you really do need a professional.</p>
<p><strong>Be Flexible</strong><br />
Having a wedding on a budget is a lot easier if you plan it all out and know when to be flexible on what you want. Think about the things you want, and then think about what you would be just as happy with. If you love roses but they are out of season (thus expensive) think about a flower that is in season (and thus cheaper). This is your big day but don&#8217;t be a bridezilla!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Planning Anyones Wedding Day</h2>
<p>Planning anyones wedding day is hard, if it is your own day or that of a relative it is even harder as there are so many emotions involved. The one thing I have found is that lists are your friend. Start making wedding lists early and make lots of them. I would always carry a pad with me and then at night transfer the lists from there to my computer. With Smartphones becoming more and more prevalent you can almost certainly keep your wedding lists on your phone. One word of warning though, phones do get lost so make sure you export the info to your computer and then print it all out once in a while.</p>
<p>Lists are such a vital part of <a title="planning a wedding" href="http://plussizeweddingparty.com/planning-your-wedding-day/" target="_blank">planning a wedding</a> that you do not want to see a lost phone or a computer problem wipe out all your info. If you keep it on a pc then make sure you email all the info to a friend for safe keeping and copy it to a flash drive at regular times as well.</p>
<p>Dealing with the time sensitive items is the most important thing, hotels and other wedding venues get booked up early as do catering companies who specialize in weddings. So as soon as you know the date for the big event you should start looking at venues as that is usually the thing that gets booked up the quickest. Once you have the venue chosen and booked it then you cna take a deep breath and start in on your lists.</p>
<p>No matter whose wedding you are planning you need many of the same things and these apply no matter what the budget of the wedding. You can make a list for each of these general areas</p>
<ul>
<li>Venue</li>
<li>Bride</li>
<li>Bridesmaids</li>
<li>Groom</li>
<li>Groomsmen</li>
<li>Food</li>
<li>Music</li>
<li>Guests</li>
<li>Honeymoon</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="http://plussizeweddingparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/planning-a-wedding.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-276" style="margin: 5px;" title="planning a wedding" src="http://plussizeweddingparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/planning-a-wedding.jpg" alt="planning a wedding" width="200" height="133" /></a><strong>Ask Questions</strong><br />
It is better to ask all the questions you want to right away so you are not in a panic later. Make a list of all the questions you want answered for each area. What we did was create a yellow sticky note for each item then put that on the top of a pad and started writing questions down. Then you answer each one as you go. Writing things down helps keep the wedding planning panic at bay. This applies when you are planning anyones wedding day but especially if it is someone else&#8217;s as they will see how organized you are.</p>
<p>Some ideas of the questions we put down are below, they may help you with your lists</p>
<p><strong>Venue</strong><br />
-How many does it hold<br />
-Hours of operation<br />
-Outside catering allowed or not</p>
<p><strong>Bride</strong><br />
-Which dress shops to look at<br />
-Which color<br />
-What styles (the bride may well have pics from magazines of dresses she loves)<br />
-Wedding shoes<br />
-Diet or not to diet?<br />
-how many bridesmaids, who?</p>
<p>You can see that when you start to answer these questions you will be building up a picture of the wedding day and as long as you deal with each question in a timely manner you will have a great wedding day. Try and ask about the big things like wedding cars, but do not forget the small items like <a title="Wedding Favors" href="http://plussizeweddingparty.com/wedding-favors/" target="_blank">wedding favors</a>.  Things like <a title="wedding rings" href="http://plussizeweddingparty.com/plus-size-wedding-rings/" target="_blank">wedding rings</a> do not need to be listed but can not be ignored either, do not assume that the groom will deal with this, better to check first. (my husband didn&#8217;t quite forget but it was close).</p>
<p><strong>Its Supposed To Be Fun</strong><br />
Everyone gets stressed planning a wedding, the bride, the groom, the in laws, the bridesmaids and the wedding planner will all have times where they feel like crying. That is part of organizing anything that is so important., Try and remember that getting married is fun, it is the biggest day of the bride and grooms life and it is supposed to be a day everyone remembers with smiles on their faces.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Long Sleeved Wedding Dress</h2>
<p>Long sleeved wedding dresses are not only for a winter wedding.  Princess Kate wore a wedding dress with lace sleeves when she married Prince William in the spring.  As we all know, weather can be fickle.  This type of dress is perfect if you are getting married in a city which has unpredictable weather.  Another great dress would be to search for wedding dresses with sleeves or jackets.  A cropped jacket wedding dress looks adorable and extremely stylish.  If the weather is a bit cooler on your wedding day, simple put on your jacket.  You&#8217;ll still look great while keeping warm.  Or plan on wearing the jacket to begin with, so if it&#8217;s too warm on your wedding day, just slip it off and you&#8217;ll still look amazing in your strapless wedding gown.</p>
<p>Another great reason for wearing wedding dresses with sleeves or jackets would be if you are a plus size woman and have very heavy arms.  Wearing bolero jackets for wedding dresses would be a great way to camoflauge your arms.  Long sleeved wedding dresses will look great and draw attention <a href="http://plussizeweddingparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/long-sleeved-wedding-dress.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-208" style="margin: 7px;" title="long sleeved wedding dress" src="http://plussizeweddingparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/long-sleeved-wedding-dress.jpg" alt="long sleeved wedding dress" width="200" height="205" /></a>away from your un-toned upper arms.  Bolero jackets for wedding dresses are also trendy and hip.  If you are very into being stylish, then this is definitely the way to go.</p>
<p>There are many wedding dress sleeve options out there.  By searching the internet, you could get a great idea of what you want before you go shopping at your local gown shop.  Print out dresses that you like and take them with you.  This will give the shop owner or sales associate something to go by, and they&#8217;ll be able to let you know if they have something to suit your taste.</p>
<p>Even if you are not getting married soon, this will be a great thing to start doing.  By saving photos, articles and ideas in a binder, you will be ready to plan your wedding when the time comes.</p>
<p>Finding vintage wedding dresses is a bit more difficult, however long sleeved wedding dresses are easy to find when searching for vintage wedding dresses.  Most vintage wedding dresses tend to be ivory, rather than white.  Many long sleeved wedding dresses also tend to be modest wedding dresses.  By searching for modest wedding dresses, you will be able to easily find something that would be suitable for a winter wedding.  Most winter wedding dresses will want to be with sleeves or jackets.  Anything warm is a bonus if it&#8217;s winter.</p>
<p>If you are planning on searching for long sleeved wedding dresses for a summer wedding, then you will probably want to look for a wedding dress with lace sleeves.   This will be a much cooler option, while still keeping your arms covered.  Long sleeved wedding dresses for a summer wedding will be harder to find, but you can find pretty much any kind of dress you want at any time of year.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t give up searching.  Long sleeved wedding dresses are out there and you will find the right one for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Plus Size Wedding Shoes</h2>
<p>Once you have found the perfect dress for you, your maid of honor and your bridesmaids, the task is now to find the perfect pair of shoes to compliment the ensemble.  If you are a plus size bride, then you may need to have to find plus size wedding shoes.  As a general rule, most women already know what size fits them best so finding some large wedding shoes shouldn&#8217;t be too difficult.</p>
<p>One big challenge comes for women who are in need of wide width wedding shoes or large size wedding shoes, such as size 11 or 12.  If you fit in this category, then you already know how difficult it is to find cute shoes that fit, let alone large size dress shoes.  Many mall anchor stores do not sell large size dress shoes or wide dress shoes.  These stores would be Dillard&#8217;s, Macy&#8217;s, JC Penney, Sears, etc.  Some of these stores do offer large and wide sizes and styles on their online stores, but if you&#8217;re going to order from them, then you could order from any online store.</p>
<p><a href="http://plussizeweddingparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/wedding-shoes.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-199" title="wedding shoes" src="http://plussizeweddingparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/wedding-shoes.jpg" alt="wedding shoes" width="200" height="133" /></a>It is very important to order your large size wedding shoes or wide wedding shoes in plenty of time so that you could return them if needed.</p>
<p>Here is a great trick to loosen tight shoes for someone who needs wide wedding shoes, large size wedding shoes or even plus size wedding shoes.  This can apply whether you purchase shoes in the correct size, but they&#8217;re snug, or if you buy a slightly smaller size in store and need to stretch them before the big day.  If they&#8217;re a bit tight, then wear them around the house for a few days to stretch them out or you could take them into a cobbler or shoe repair shop and they have special tools which can stretch the shoes and make them more comfortable for you.</p>
<p>The last thing you want to have happen is to be near the end of your wedding reception and have your plus size wedding shoes cut into your feet.  No one wants to be on their honeymoon with their feet covered in band aids.</p>
<p>If you are having a beach destination wedding, you may be interested in large size wedding flip flops.  Of course, you will need a casual wedding dress and preferably a beach with not very deep sand.  These could be very difficult to wear if you&#8217;ll be walking for very much time.  Some other casual plus size dress shoe may work better.</p>
<p>By needing large wedding shoes or wide width wedding shoes, you will have quite a search ahead of you.  Most specialty shoes are difficult to find if you are searching for something specific, such as wedding shoes.  Finding cheap wedding shoes will be more of a challenge.  Widen your search to include dyable plus size wedding shoes, large size prom shoes and even simply plus size dress shoes.  There is so much that the internet has to offer.  After about 15 minutes of searching, you are certain to be able to find a store which will have the type of wedding shoe you are looking for.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Wedding Favors</h2>
<p>[fbshare] If you are looking for wedding favor ideas, then look no further.  When choosing wedding favors, it&#8217;s best to try to incorporate the theme of your wedding into them. If you are having a destination wedding, you could prepare las vegas , beach , oriental or perhaps even winter wedding favors, whatever the theme of the wedding is. By using favors as part of the wedding decorations or wedding centerpieces, this would make one less thing you would have to worry about. As the guests take their centerpiece home, the cleanup of the tables would be done for you as well.</p>
<p><a href="http://plussizeweddingparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/WF2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-190" style="margin: 7px;" title="wedding favors" src="http://plussizeweddingparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/WF2-225x300.jpg" alt="wedding favors" width="225" height="300" /></a>If you are looking for favors that clean up after themselves, edible wedding favors are also a great idea. By also incorporating this idea into the wedding cake, you could serve cupcakes as part of the wedding cake, and each cupcake could have a wedding favor as a cupcake topper. This would make your wedding stand out from the usual and cupcakes are always a good solution to any problem.</p>
<p>By multitasking when planning your own wedding, this will surely save some money. Ideally, you don&#8217;t want to spend more than $2 per person on wedding favors. By purchasing inexpensive wedding favors, it will be more cost effective and save money for things like your wedding dress or future purchases such as the down payment for your first home. If you are paying for your own wedding, these financial matters come into play a lot more than if a parent is footing the bill. You cna make your own wedding favors if you take the time and plan ahead, it is also important that you get some help though as no one wants to sit and make 200 cupcakes on their own.</p>
<p>If money is not an option, then personalized wedding favors are a great way to go. You may be able to find some more inexpensive personalized wedding favors, but chances are that the cost will be quite a bit more than the norm. Discount wedding favors can be had if you take some time to look for them and are willing to personalize them yourself. Personalized wedding favors could also double for place setting markers which the guests could then take with them. This would fall, again, into the category of multitasking.</p>
<p>Now, if you had edible wedding favors which were also personalized wedding favors and used them as place setting markers, it would be that much better. Some people will take them home and treasure them while others will eat them on the way home. If you want to go the extra mile, you could use the cupcake wedding cake idea to be personalized and also as a place setting. This will save you lots of money overall and provide yourself with some very inexpensive wedding favors. Everyone in attendance will love the idea and be fed delicious cake at the same time.</p>
<p>Probably the majority of brides won&#8217;t be searching for discount wedding favors, but will want something that their guest will use and love for more than 24 hours. Candles are always a favorite gift at any time of year, but would be better received during the winter. If it&#8217;s summertime, then a silk fan will cool the guest at an outdoor wedding, or a tiny bottle of bubbles to blow instead of tossing rice, bird seed or confetti. Tiny bells also work as place card holders.</p>
<p>Do not be afraid to do something a little bit different from others and if there is something that both of you are interested in then do not be scared to include that in the favors. Favors in the colors of your favorite football team or camoflage ones if you are interested in hunting will be unique to you and the guests are sure to remember them.</p>
<p>All of these wedding favor ideas will both save you money as well as make the wedding decorations more eye appealing for your guests.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Pippa Middleton Bridesmaid Dress</h2>
<p>[fbshare] There has been just as much spotlight on the sister of Kate Middleton, Pippa Middleton, as there was on Kate and the royal wedding itself.  Because Pippa Middleton looked stunning in her Alexander McQueen dress, the spotlight has been thrust onto her, as her older sister wants to be private in her new role as Duchess of Cambridge and the newest member of the royal family.</p>
<p>One of the biggest surprises of the royal wedding was how great Pippa looked in her dress.  There is also so much talk about the Cameron Diaz Golden Globe dress of January 2010.  Being from the same designer, there is a definite similarity between the two dresses.  The neckline is the obvious part of <a href="http://plussizeweddingparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/pippa1.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-186" style="margin: 7px;" title="Pippa Middleton bridesmaid dress" src="http://plussizeweddingparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/pippa1-200x300.jpg" alt="Pippa Middleton bridesmaid dress" width="200" height="300" /></a>the dress that is the same, but the waist, sleeves and hem of the dress are slightly different.  By adding some lace and an empire waist, Pippa Middleton&#8217;s dress looks more elegant in white.  The fabric is also different in each dress.  The Cameron Diaz Golden Globe dress is more flashy in a satiny fabric as Pippa&#8217;s brides maid dress is less flashy and more demure.  It helped that Pippa was wearing a classic pump while Cameron had platform pumps.  The slight amount of lace on the neck and sleeves, as well as the higher waistline, brought the eye into the most attractive parts of Pippa&#8217;s dress and body.  Pippa&#8217;s bride&#8217;s maid dress brought attention to her slender silhouette and made her as much of a focus of the wedding as Kate herself.</p>
<p>If you are currently planning a wedding and trying to decide which dress to purchase for yourself or for your maid of honor, then Pippa&#8217;s wedding dress is perfect.  This royal dress would be especially great if you wanted a casual wedding dress.  By opting for a simple and elegant dress with details such as the neckline and touches of lace, then Pippa Middleton&#8217;s dress would make a statement while being a less expensive wedding dress.</p>
<p>Now that all of the glitz and glamor of the royal wedding has come to an end, it will be much easier to find an immitation royal wedding dress of Pippa Middleton.  Variations of Pippa&#8217;s dress will also be available, so keep an eye out for trends which will be set such as the plunging neckline of Pippa&#8217;s dress.</p>
<p>When planning your own wedding, keep in mind that the participants in the royal wedding had gobs of money and there is no need to spend even close to that same amount on a dress for either yourself, the maid of honor, or your bride&#8217;s maids.  There are many duplicate dresses which will be available and with just a little bit of internet searching, you&#8217;ll be able to find exactly what you&#8217;re looking for, at a fraction of the price.  You will then be able to look just as stunning wearing a Pippa Middleton dress or a Princess Kate dress.  If you find a royal wedding dress for a great price, you could then add an extra such as a tiara or great pair of pumps to accessorize your Pippa Middleton maid of honor dress.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Royal Wedding Dress</h2>
<p>[fbshare] I&#8217;m sure anyone who&#8217;s getting married soon has watched the royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton.  While most of us can&#8217;t afford to purchase a long sleeved lace wedding dress like Kate Middleton wore at the royal wedding, we could purchase an immitation royal wedding dress.  No one in attendance at your wedding will be able to realize that your royal wedding dress was not made from Irish Carrickmacross.</p>
<p>Now that the Kate Middleton wedding dress has been revealed to the world, many duplicates and similar royal wedding dresses will be appearing in stores <a href="http://plussizeweddingparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/kate_middleton_wedding_dress-long.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-182" style="margin: 7px;" title="royal wedding dress" src="http://plussizeweddingparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/kate_middleton_wedding_dress-long-225x300.jpg" alt="royal wedding dress" width="225" height="300" /></a>everywhere.  The lace work will not be hand-made, but will be of machine work to resemble the combination of French Chantilly lace and English Cluny lace.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t like the sweetheart neckline of Kate Middleton&#8217;s wedding dress, you could opt for a higher necked version reminiscent of Grace Kelly.  By searching the internet for Grace Kelly instead of Princess Kate, you will be able to find similar dresses to the one worn at the royal wedding on April 29, 2011.</p>
<p>While long sleeved wedding dresses are typically worn in the cooler months of the year, some recent brides find that they are very comfortable even during the hot summer months.  Really, there are only a few hours that you would have to endure if you are uncomfortable.  However many women report that the air conditioning in their reception hall or church has been placed at such a low temperature that they had wished they had opted for a long sleeved lace wedding dress.</p>
<p>To complete the look of the royal wedding and by wearing a dress like the Kate Middleton lace dress, you may also want to wear a tiara.  As you can see by looking at Princess Kate, she only wore a simple single veil.  Everything about the royal wedding was very simple and elegant.  Even the train on the Kate Middleton wedding dress was not ornate or overly long like Princess Diana&#8217;s wedding dress.  It was long, but not too much that it needed more than one maid of honor to assist.  The royal wedding dresses of the past are typically considered very elegant for their time.</p>
<p>A short sleeved lace wedding dress would also be very stylish and comfortable to wear during the summer months.  This is a way to still pull off a dress like the Kate Middleton wedding dress, while still being cool and comfortable during your wedding as well as reception.  This is also a great way to look gorgeous as well as having a more casual wedding dress.</p>
<p>The Kate Middleton wedding dress will go down in history as being one of the most elegant and gorgeous of all the royal wedding dresses .  Many brides will purchase an immitation royal wedding dress and attempt to look just as gorgous as Kate did on her wedding day.  By keeping your wedding dress simple, whether you decide to choose an immitation royal wedding dress, a long sleeved lace wedding dress, a short sleeved lace version of the royal wedding dress or something else, you are certain to pull off an amazing and elegant wedding.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Strapless Wedding Dress</h2>
<p>[fbshare] As the weather gets warmer and your thoughts turn to your upcoming wedding, you may imagine what you will be wearing as you walk down the aisle.  Many women dream of a strapless wedding dress which is a great choice for any wedding during the warmer months.  Even during some winter months, you would just as stunning in a strapless bridal gown with a lacy shrug, though you may not feel as comfortable.</p>
<p>There is a common question among women who are considering purchasing a strapless wedding dress.  They all wonder if it will stay up in the front and not fall down during the ceremony or while dancing.  This problem is commonly found among women who don&#8217;t have a very large chest while shopping for <a href="http://plussizeweddingparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/strapless-wedding-dress.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-175" style="margin: 7px;" title="strapless-wedding-dress" src="http://plussizeweddingparty.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/strapless-wedding-dress.jpg" alt="strapless wedding dress" width="200" height="300" /></a>wedding dresses.  By reading a strapless wedding dress review on the dress you have selected, you will find that nearly 100% of women have never had a problem, no matter their bust size.  If anything, a strapless wedding dress will only make a woman&#8217;s chest look larger.  There is rarely ever an incident of slippage, so there is no need to worry.</p>
<p>If you are a larger woman, you will be able to find a plus size strapless wedding dress at stores like David&#8217;s Bridal.  David&#8217;s Bridal has an enormous selection of all types of wedding dresses and is a great place to look especially if you need a cheap strapless wedding dress.</p>
<p>A beach destination wedding is a great place to wear a strapless wedding dress.  If you are getting married on a budget, a casual strapless wedding dress is a very budget friendly way to buy a wedding dress.  Just visit any online store and you will be able to easily find any casual strapless dress that can double as a strapless wedding dress.  Even a spaghetti strapped sundress will work better than you think.</p>
<p>If you are having a larger wedding, a satin wedding dress or lace wedding dress are both great choices if you decide to wear a strapless wedding dress.  A lace wedding dress is better suited if you have a romantic theme or perhaps even a vintage wedding theme.  A satin strapless wedding dress will give you that little bit of shimmer which will play against the sun and will look great with a sparkling diamond necklace or diamond tiara.  A satin wedding dress is easier to find in any color besides white, so if you are looking for a colored wedding dress, a satin dress is definitely the way to go.</p>
<p>No matter what you decide to wear after searching endlessly for wedding dresses, a strapless wedding dress will be very comfortable during a very hot and typically uncomfortable time of year.  This is the best decision for a wedding dress for a wedding which will be held during the hotter months of the year.  Other than having a casual wedding dress, you are sure to be more comfortable in your strapless wedding dress than any other wedding dress options.</p>
