Hoop Skirts For Fullness
Hoop skirts
under a dress add fullness and that southern charm to full skirted dresses. The summer wedding is perfect for this type of dress.
Hoop skirts are lightweight today while still giving the same look while giving the same look of Scarlett O’Hara. The bride who chooses this look will have a look that is vastly different from the slim over-sexed look of many of todays dresses and will instead give a romantic aura to her wedding and after all a wedding is all about romance.
Using Tulle in Your Wedding
One of the universal items for weddings and reception is ribbon and tulle. Using tulle to decorate your pews with swags or making a tulle pouf to act as a backpiece to pew decorations are common uses.
Tulle rolls that are 6 inches wide can make beautiful bows to add to bridesmaids nosegays to using it in your wedding favors. Tulle rolls are available in many colors and will have a color to match any wedding. Tying a small bit of tulle around a favor container with the cut edges out a little bit from the knot give a bow effect without having to learn to make florist bows.
Elegant Wedding Garters
Wedding garter sets are the choice of brides today. They want their new husband to have a keepsake garter as well as having a garter to toss to the male guests.
For the bride who has chosen to have an all white wedding, the white wedding garter sets are perfect. They are elegant and usually have some sort of trim such as rhinestones on them. Details are important to the overall feel of your wedding and choosing your wedding garters to fit in with your theme.
Unique Place Card Holders
When designing the look of your wedding reception why not consider using a bell place card holder for your wedding favors. Most place cards are a small tent of stiff paper but using a place card holder is more unique.
Wedding favors are traditionally a small sweet treat in a favor container. The bride who thinks outside the box may choose to use something different such as the bell place card holder we are showing on the left.
Soft Green Accents on Flower Girl Baskets
Choosing colors for your wedding today is open to just about every color in the rainbow. In the past, the colors used in weddings was limited to pinks, blues and a few others.
One of the hottest colors in todays bridal world is green. A soft green is showing up as an accent color in all areas of weddings ans we are showing a flower girl basket with this shade of soft green. Flower girl baskets are just one of the items than can showcase your color choices.
Cost Saving Ring Bearer Pillows
There are so many items that are part of a wedding today that costs can spiral out of control. Choosing a ring bearer pillow that has a more modest cost can help.
Ring bearer pillows that are budget friendly may not have the cachet of the more expensive designer ring bearer pillows but they also look just fine for the small part they play in your ceremony. These ring bearer pillows will range from $8 to $18 and will help put needed dollars into other areas of your wedding day.
Diva Style Jewelry
Most brides choose bridal jewelry sets that have a “diva” touch to them. Bridal jewelry sets add and complete the brides ensemble for her big day.
Diva type bridal jewelry will have more design elements than a simple pendant or strand of pearls. These sets also have lots of sparkle and glitz. Choosing a bridal set such as the one shown at the left work well with strapless gowns and have earrings that have movement.
Smaller Tiaras Create Allure
Your bridal tiara will be one item that you will choose as carefully as your wedding dress. Bridal tiaras really are the crowning touch to your outfit.
Smaller bridal tiaras such as tiara combs do not have as much height as a full tiara but they are very comfortable and still have the look of a full tiara. If you are looking for bridal tiaras that have glitz without being large then you should look at tiara combs.
Custom Bridal Veils
When choosing your bridal veil keep in mind your wedding gown and how your bridal veil will accent it. Elaborate wedding gowns usually look best with a plain illusion veil. This type of veil will not compete with your gown but add the finishing touch.
Custom bridal veils come in all sorts of lengths from shoulder length to the chapel bridal veil that is around ten feet long. All custom bridal beils are 108 inches wide. This makes for a bridal veil that has plenty of fullness and will act like a cloud to frame your head.
Draping Your Tables With Tulle
Your wedding reception will be the largest party you will ever host. It will also be the most decorated.
Using tulle yardage to drape your tables adds flair at a reasonable cost. You may choose to use tulle yardage for your head table, cake table and other special tables. Tulle yardage can also be used to create inexpensive table overlays by simply putting lengths of tulle that drape over the edges to the floor and then gathering the tulle halfway up and tying it with decorating ribbon.
