Let Your Personality Shine Through

Traditions are one thing, and weddings are full of them. They are part of what makes a wedding, well, a wedding. But just because there is tradition, that doesn’t mean you can’t let your own personality shine through. You don’t have to read the old standby “Love Is Patient” (when did THAT turn into a tradition anyway?) or play Mozart or Bach at your service. Do some research, and find music and readings that really speak to you.

If you’re restricted because of religious or family traditions, don’t worry. There are still flowers, decor and the reception to show off your style. No matter what, make sure that your flowers, decor and music reflect your taste. It’s YOUR day after all. This day should reflect you and your life. Don’t be afraid to find things that really reflect your style.

Looking to add some Feng Shui to your day? Here are some easy ways to add peace and harmony to your wedding:
  • Add some nature to your reception or wedding site. Hold the wedding or reception outdoors. If that’s not possible, bring the outdoors in by picking a reception site with large windows with expansive views.
  • Don’t despair if you’ve already fallen in love with an indoor location without a tree in sight. Simply bring the outside in. Infuse your floral designs with twigs, fruit or nuts. Decorate with large trees, topiaries, or even branches laden with lights.
  • Hold a dove or butterfly release to add a touch of the outdoors. Or you may want to consider featuring dove or butterfly sculptures on your wedding cake, as an ice sculpture, in jewelry, or even jeweled or embellished butterflies as table decorations.
  • Stick with more natural colors such as ivory, creams and soft neutral shades, which are thought to be more energizing. And make sure to use a few splashes of red, the Chinese color of happiness. You don’t need to use a lot. Just a pop of red is all you need to attract happiness.
 
 
 

Expect the Unexpected

 
Expect the Unexpected
 
While nothing will probably happen, it’s always wise to be prepared. Don’t let a wardrobe malfunction keep you from looking—and feeling—your best. Keep you and your bridesmaids ready for anything by having a wardrobe kit on hand for the big day. Things to include that will help solve any emergencies:
  • Hollywood tape (so straps and bodices stay in place)
  • Sewing kit (including buttons and safety pins)
  • White chalk for stains
  • Stain-remover wipes
  • Deodorant-removing sponges (for colored dresses)
  • White gaffer’s tape (to patch tears)
  • An extra pair of comfortable shoes

Love that strapless dress, but think it might be a little too bare? Wraps are a great way to give you some extra coverage—whether for religious reasons or just to keep the chill away. Plus, it’s a great way to add some extra style! From going with something simple like a pashmina to having a dressmaker custom create a design, the choices are limitless. And for a customized look without the customized price tag, don’t forget to visit www.etsy.com for some truly unique and inexpensive, one-of-a-kind artisan wraps.
 
 

Wedding Attire Decoded

There are a lot of terms for dress code out there, so when telling your guests how to dress, it’s always best to stick with the basics. If you need a little help figuring out what term works best for you, use the following guide:
  • White Tie - The most formal option. Tuxedos and long dresses are required.
  • Black Tie - Tuxedos recommended, but a sharp dark suit will work. Long dresses or fancy cocktail dresses for the ladies.
  • Black Tie Optional or Formal - Dark or neutral suits for men and cocktail dresses for women.
  • Semi Formal or Dressy Casual - Suits or jackets and ties for men, dresses or pantsuits for women.
  • Beach Wedding Attire or Beach Formal - Upscale resort wear, meaning anything that you would wear to an upscale restaurant on the island.
  • Casual Dress - Men should wear a button-down dress shirt or polo with pants, and women should wear a sundress or pants and nice blouse. No jeans!
