Getting the Perfect Fit

2011-10-22T07:53:00.000-07:00

Being the bride you are the center of the event but that doesn't mean you can wear any style you just because everybody's there for your big day. All the more reason why you need to make sure that you are fitting perfectly in your gown.

To help you decide as to which type and style flatters you well check out the following tips.

Short Waist or the Apple Type

These are women who happen to have naturally proportioned body unfortunate though for the small distance from the ribs to the hips. Try the Princess line silhouette. This should be fitted at the bodice and opening to a full skirt gradually.This should help elongate your torso. A big no-no would be the sheath so stay away from that as it makes your short waist shouting to the crowd.

Round Figure

The volume of the breasts, tummy, round hips and butt are just blossoming. I guess everyone would agree that these type of women should stay away from sheath and spaghetti straps, this will just reveal everything. Believe it or not a ball gown wedding should do you justice and of course an A-line silhouette that just works on every body type.

The Pear or Triangle Shape

Obviously this type of body is narrow on top and wide at the bottom. An empire would fit you fine since it hugs the small top and disguise the wider bottom. Steer clear of mermaid type of dress as it adds more volume to the lower part of body.

Thin or Banana Type

May you be tall or short same rule applies to your mostly bony body structure. A ball gown would definitely do the trick. Making you a princess-like bride just those in fairy tales. Try not to get into off-shoulder or haltered necklines.

Hourglass Body type

The envy of all brides the perfect figure. An A-line wedding dress would be an icing on the cake since it will further enhance your almost perfect body, showing dropped waist line to show off and on top try the sweetheart neckline to show off your chest. And if you just want to finish it off with flying colors then the trumpet or mermaid type would surely be a hit. Even though you're almost perfect you still have several types of cut to stay away from such as ball gown or empire-waist since this is totally not proportioned.

One thing to keep in mind you may gain or lose weight before your big day but one thing is constant your actual body type. So you'll definitely won't go wrong with the choosing the right style for you. Good luck!

What's your motif?

2011-07-20T08:25:00.000-07:00

Every wedding is unique. What makes it more different from every other is the personal touch and the theme you put in it. You might not even think of it as a theme nor motif just something your heart desires that special day would be. Well I'm definitely speaking from the point of view of a bride. I'll take some time in the future to take the groom's side on this matter.

So let's talk about deciding on your own wedding theme. For the next couple of days I will be discussing on the different types of themes and what goes on with such motif. Let's start with my favorite theme (hoping I can have the same on my own wedding day! - Ed.), ladies and.... well ladies, the Grecian Wedding

Greek weddings are unique and specific with their traditions. It is very symbolic and is proud with its ancient traditions but well balanced by the end of the celebration with a non-stop dancing action on the dance floor.

But if you're no Greek but still adores the beauty of it you can always have a Greek-themed wedding. No need to follow the ceremony or traditions, instead you can always put a Grecian touch from your invitations to your gowns and everything in between. Here are some of my personal picks for some Grecian inspired wedding.

Invitation: Usually has a touch of blue, which signifies a lot of things such as the color of the flag, the color of the clear crystal water of the seas of Greece.

Wedding Cakes: Significant columns reminds me so much of those ancient Greece structures which is famous for the country.

Flowers, Altar and the ride: When you say Grecian its all about classic. And nothing is more classic than having white in your motif, such as the flowers and decors. And check out the ride!

The famous Kourabiedes as give aways

Wedding Gowns: When you Greece you're instantly reminded of Goddesses and all those light and gowns that just flows and sways with the wind.

So what do you think of Grecian-inspired wedding?

They say every little girl dreams of having her perfect and unforgettable wedding day. I guess I was not one of them. It would be more accurate to say I was dreaming of setting up a perfect wedding. Not the one in that gorgeous white dress holding the beautiful bouquet marching down the aisle while swaying to the most romantic song. Rather that lady who goes back and forth without being noticed by everyone smoothly keeping things in order.

Yes we grew up to be Wedding Planners. Me, with my two other girl friends, Christinne and Ma.Lyn,figured this is what we want other than being full time Computer Engineers. There might be special classes, seminars or short courses to become one, but experience and passion are our only professors.Reading texts and memorizing flow of the event is not enough to get through the ceremony. You need to put it into action. As they say practice makes perfect but a wedding is not a practice and there is no room for error.

First Practice
Of course you can't just make someone else's on-the-day wedding a rehearsal. Well at least it can be someone you know who would allow you to perform experiments on their special day.We were careful. It took us a lot of meetings and planning. A lot of of research has been done to make sure that we were making the right decisions and process. Fortunately, it all went well.

A trusting friend
With no money for any promotion, word-of-mouth was our only friend. A classmate of mine was proud enough of me to recommend me to her own sister. And she was our very first "legal" client.

Yay Us?!
From then on somehow we were able to build a quality standard for our name.Yay Us? Yes Yay Us, it was just an expression of glee whenever we achieve something awesome. And it kinda stuck with us. So why not make it an official name. We may not have patented it yet but someday we will. For now being the wedding blogger will do.
